Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first common electrode, a second common electrode spaced apart from the first common electrode, a first signal line overlapping the first common electrode and the second common electrode, a first metal line overlapping the first signal line and the first common electrode, and a second metal line overlapping the first signal line and the second common electrode and spaced apart from the first metal line. The first metal line includes an extension portion extending between the first common electrode and the second common electrode.

Claims (41)
