Abstract

In a transistor substrate of a display device, a plurality of signal lines to which any one of drive signals of a gate signal and a video signal is supplied include a plurality of first signal lines to which the drive signal is supplied. The first signal line is connected to a driving driver, and is formed in an edge region positioned between an end portion of a substrate and a pixel region and in the pixel region. The first signal line is formed to pass through a first wiring formed in a first layer from a second wiring formed in a second layer in the edge region.
