Abstract

A display device includes a display panel, a first connection circuit board, a second connection circuit board, and a sealing member. The display panel may include an insulation layer, a first pad, and a second pad. A distance between a top surface of the insulation layer and a bottom surface of the second connection circuit board may be substantially the same as that between the top surface of the insulation layer and a top surface of the first connection circuit board.
