Display Device
A display device includes a first substrate which constitutes a part of a display panel, the first substrate having a first side and having a terminal formed thereon adjacent to the first side, and a flexible printed circuit board which is connected to the first substrate. The flexible printed circuit board includes a board portion, a wiring layer which is mounted on the board portion, a cover portion which covers the wiring layer, and a connecting portion which is connected to the terminal formed on the first substrate. The connecting portion includes a metal layer, and wherein the cover portion overlaps with the first side and an area between the first side and the terminal.
