Abstract

A display device is capable of detecting defects of a PCB, the display device including: a display panel on which a driving integrated circuit is mounted; a printed circuit board disposed on at least one edge of the display panel and connected to the driving integrated circuit; signal lines disposed on the printed circuit board; and an inspection portion connected to signal lines. The inspection portion includes: a power line connected to one point of at least two signal lines of signal lines to apply an inspection signal, the at least two signal lines including a first signal line and a second signal line; a first resistor connected to the first signal line; a second resistor connected to the second signal line; and a signal detection line connected to the first resistor and the second resistor to detect a change value of the inspection signal.
