a circuit layer disposed on the base layer and comprising a plurality of clock signal lines;

an organic light emitting diode disposed on the circuit layer and comprising a first electrode, an organic light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode, and a second electrode disposed on the organic light emitting layer;

a thin film sealing layer disposed on the organic light emitting diode;

a plurality of touch signal lines disposed on the thin film sealing layer; and

a conductive portion disposed between the plurality of clock signal lines and the plurality of touch signal lines and extending through an overlapping area where at least some of the clock signal lines and at least some of the touch signal lines overlap each other when viewed in a plan view,

wherein:

a plurality of first through holes are defined in the conductive portion, and each of the plurality of first through holes is surrounded by the conductive portion when viewed in the plan view; and

the plurality of first through holes do not overlap the overlapping area in the plan view.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive portion is disposed on the same layer as the second electrode.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the second electrode extends toward the conductive portion and the second electrode and the conductive portion are connected to each other.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the second electrode is spaced apart from the conductive portion.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a same level of voltage is provided to the conductive portion and the second electrode.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive portion is disposed on the same layer as one of the first electrode and the second electrode.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first through holes do not overlap the plurality of clock signal lines.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first through holes do not overlap the plurality of touch signal lines.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive portion comprises:

a first area, where the plurality of first through holes are not defined, overlapping at least one of the clock signal lines and at least one of the touch signal lines;

a second area comprising an area exposed by the plurality of first through holes having a first area density of holes; and

a third area comprising an area exposed by the plurality of first through holes having a second area density of holes lower than the first area density.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein a number of the first through holes defined in the second area per a first surface area is greater than a number of the first through holes defined in the third area per the first surface area.

11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein a size of the first through holes defined in the second area is greater than a size of the first through holes defined in the third area.
