2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first portions of the 1-th to k-th signal lines have widths that increase from the 1-th signal line toward the k-th signal line.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first portions of the each of signal lines of the first signal line group has a constant width.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the fourth portions of the 1-th to k-th signal lines have the same width.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the fourth portions of the each of signal lines of the first signal line group has a constant width.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the input sensor further comprises a connection electrode connecting the fourth portion of the 1-th signal line to a corresponding electrode of the 1-th to i-th electrodes.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein:

the connection electrode and the 1-th signal line are disposed with an insulation layer therebetween;

the insulation layer is disposed below the 1-th signal line and the corresponding electrode; and

each of the fourth portion of the 1-th signal line and the corresponding electrode is connected to the connection electrode through connection contact holes passing through the insulation layer.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein:

the input sensor further comprises a dummy pattern disposed between the corresponding electrode and the fourth portion of the 1-th signal line on the plane;

the dummy pattern is spaced apart from each of the corresponding electrode and the fourth portion of the 1-th signal line; and

the dummy pattern overlaps the connection electrode.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the fourth portion of the 1-th signal line is directly connected to a corresponding electrode of the 1-th to i-th electrodes.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the 1-th to k-th signal lines further comprises a pad portion extending from the first portion in the first direction to partially overlap the pad area.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the pad portions of the 1-th to k-th signal lines have the same width.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the display panel comprises:

a base layer;

a transistor on the base layer;

a display element on the base layer and electrically connected to the transistor; and

an encapsulation layer on the base layer and overlapped with the display element; and

the input sensor is directly disposed on the encapsulation layer.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the 2-th to k-th signal lines further comprises:

a fifth portion extending from the fourth portion and having a width that gradually increases in a direction that is away from the fourth portion; and

a sixth portion extending from the fifth portion and having a constant width.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the sixth portions of the 2-th to k-th signal lines have the same width.

15. The display device of claim 13 , wherein a width of an area of the line area in which the fourth portions of the 1-th to k-th signal lines are disposed and a width of an area of the line area in which the sixth portions of the 2-th to k-th signal lines are disposed are substantially the same.

16. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the sixth portion has a width greater than that of the fourth portion.

17. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the k-th signal line further comprises an extension portion extending from the fourth portion;

the extension portion comprises at least fifth, sixth, and last portions distinguished from each other;

a width of an area of the line area in which the fourth portions of the 1-th to k-th signal lines are disposed and a width of an area of the line area in which the last portion is disposed are substantially the same; and

the last portion is farthest away from the fourth portion of the k-th signal line.

18. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second portion is disposed outside a corner area of the sensing area.
