Abstract

A display device includes pixel electrodes, a common electrode, switching components, pixel lines, and conductive lines. The common electrode overlaps the pixel electrodes via an insulator. The switching components are connected to the pixel electrodes. The pixel lines are connected to the switching components and disposed adjacent to the pixel electrodes. The conductive lines are adjacent to the pixel electrodes on a side on which the pixel lines are disposed. The conductive lines are separated from each other and electrically connected to the common electrode. The conductive lines include common portions having a common positional relation relative to the pixel lines, respectively.
