Abstract: A display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate which faces the first substrate and includes a light blocking pattern including a light blocking portion disposed in a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, and a light transmitting portion which is disposed in the peripheral area and includes the same material as that of the light blocking portion, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, where a thickness of the light transmitting portion taken along a vertical direction in a cross section is less than a thickness of the light blocking portion taken along the vertical direction in the cross section.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a display panel includes a substrate and a gate driver disposed on the substrate. The gate driver comprises a wiring unit which receives signals and a circuit unit which outputs driving signals in response to the signals received from the wiring unit. The circuit unit comprises a shift register and a shift register wiring connected to the shift register. The wiring unit comprises first through n-th signal lines (n is a natural number greater than two) arranged sequentially adjacent to the shift register. The first line is located farthest from the shift register and the n-th signal line is closest from the shift register. Further, the first signal line is electrically connected to the shift register by a first connection line that comprises a first contact portion connected to the first signal line and a second contact portion connected to the shift resistor wiring.
