Abstract

A display device includes a first region including a display area. A second region of the display device includes a pad unit. A bending region is disposed between the first region and the second region. A plurality of signal wirings extends from the second region to the first region and crosses through the bending region. The plurality of signal wirings includes a plurality of touch signal wirings and a first power supply wiring. The plurality of touch signal wirings at least partially overlaps the first power supply wiring in the first region.
