Abstract

Provided are a display device. The display device comprises: a display unit defined by a display area and a non-display area located outside the display area, and including pixels arranged in the display area, first sensing wirings electrically connected to the pixels, and auxiliary voltage wirings electrically separated from the pixels; and a sensing unit electrically connected to the first sensing wirings, wherein the first sensing wirings and the auxiliary voltage wirings extend in a first direction and are sequentially arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction at first intervals, the first sensing wirings are spaced apart from each other along the second direction at second intervals greater than the first intervals and are electrically separated from each other, and the auxiliary voltage wirings are electrically connected to each other.
