Abstract:
1. A substrate for a display device, comprising: a plurality of first lines on the substrate in a display area of the display device; a plurality of link lines on the substrate in a link region, the link lines electrically connected to the first lines and the link region being in a non-display area of the display device; an insulating layer on the first lines and the link lines; a plurality of second lines on the insulating layer; patterns on the insulating layer in the link region and at least partially overlapping the link lines, the patterns including an intrinsic semiconductor material; a passivation layer on the second lines and the patterns, the passivation layer having at least one through hole exposing a top surface of the intrinsic semiconductor material of at least one of the patterns, wherein each of the patterns overlaps at least two of the link lines; and a seal pattern on the passivation layer in the link region, the seal pattern directly contacting the exposed top surface of the intrinsic semiconductor material via the through hole.
