Claim Text:
1. A display device comprising: a first substrate including an active region and a dummy region formed in an outer edge of the active region, the active region including a plurality of pixel regions and being configured to implement an actual image, the dummy region including a gate in panel (GIP) circuit, control signal lines, a ground, and common lines, wherein the GIP circuit is overlapped by at least a part of the control signal lines, the ground, and the common lines with an insulating layer interposed therebetween; a thin film transistor (TFT) for a shift register provided in each of a plurality of stages of the GIP circuit, each TFT for the shift registers including a source electrode configured to receive a signal along the control signal lines; and a source contact hole and a gate contact hole of each TFT for the shift registers, wherein each source contact hole of a corresponding TFT for a shift register provided in a previous stage of the GIP circuit and each gate contact hole of a corresponding TFT for a shift register provided in an adjacent stage of the GIP circuit are formed along a corresponding control signal line.
