wherein, in the top plan view, a ratio of a surface area of the opening portions to entire area of the opening portions and the metal pattern portion is about 35% or more, and
wherein a maximum width of each of the opening portions is about 20 μm or less in a top plan view parallel to the first substrate.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein, in the top plan view, the maximum width of each of the metal portions is about 30 μm or less.
3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inspection pads inspect whether there are open/short circuits in the signal lines.
4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the metal pattern portion comprises an opaque metal material.
5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation layer is disposed on the inspection pads.
6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inspection pads, the encapsulation layer, and the light blocking layer overlap each other.
7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inspection pads are arranged spaced apart from each other in one direction.
8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the signal lines extend in one direction and are arranged spaced apart from each other in the other direction crossing the one direction, and
a distance between the neighboring signal lines is greater than a minimum distance between the neighboring inspection pads.
9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the inspection pads are aligned in a plurality of inspection pad rows, and
the inspection pad rows are arranged parallel each other in a top plan view.
10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the inspection pad rows include a first inspection pad row and a second inspection pad row, which are sequentially arranged in a direction away from the display area,
wherein the inspection pads connected to odd-numbered signal lines of the signal lines are arranged in the first inspection pad row, and the inspection pads connected to even-numbered signal lines of the signal lines are arranged in the second inspection pad row, or
the inspection pads connected to the even-numbered signal lines of the signal lines are arranged in the first inspection pad row, and the inspection pads connected to the odd-numbered signal lines of the signal lines are arranged in the second inspection pad row.
11. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of scan lines which are disposed between the plurality of signal lines and the plurality of inspection pads or which are spaced apart from the plurality of signal lines and disposed on ends of the plurality of inspection pads.
12. A display device comprising:
a base substrate;
a plurality of gate lines disposed on the base substrate and extending in a first direction;
a plurality of data lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;
each of a plurality of inspection pads which are respectively connected to each of the plurality of data lines on ends of the plurality of data lines and each of which has a plurality of opening portions penetrating through the inspection pads, and
an encapsulation layer disposed corresponding to the non-display area and filling the opening portions, and
wherein, in the top plan view, a ratio of a surface area of the opening portions to an area of each of the inspection pads is about 35% or more, and
wherein a maximum width of each of the opening portions is about 20 μm or less in a top plan view parallel to the first substrate.
13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the opening portions are defined spaced apart from each other in the top plan view, and
