Abstract

A display device includes a first gate signal line and a second gate signal line, and a first drain signal line, a second drain signal line, and a third drain signal line. A first pixel and a second pixel are surrounded by the first gate signal line, the second gate signal line, the first drain signal line, and the second drain signal line, and a third pixel and a fourth pixel are surrounded by the first gate signal line, the second gate signal line, the second drain signal line, and the third drain signal line. A first storage line and a second storage line are disposed between the first gate signal line and the second gate signal line, and the first pixel includes a first thin film transistor connected to the first gate signal line, the first drain signal line, and a first pixel electrode of the first pixel.
