A display device includes a display panel including unit areas. Each of the unit areas includes pixels arranged in a matrix formation; and data lines (DLs) connected to the pixels. The display device is configured to: apply data voltages of a same polarity to first DLs positioned between adjacent pixel columns; and apply DVs of different polarities to second DLs positioned at respective sides of each pixel column. Each of the pixels is connected to one of the second DLs. A connection direction between the pixels and the DLs in each of a plurality of pixel rows is changed in a determined pixel column interval. Connection directions between the pixels and the DLs are opposite each other in odd-numbered pixel rows adjacent in a column direction. Connection directions between the pixels and the DLs are opposite each other in even-numbered pixel rows adjacent in the column direction.

A liquid crystal display comprises: an upper panel including an upper substrate on which a plurality of thin film layers are formed; a lower panel including a lower substrate on which a plurality of thin film layers are formed; a liquid crystal layer positioned between the upper panel and the lower panel; and a sealing member bonding between the upper panel and the lower panel and constraining the liquid crystal layer. The lower panel includes an aligning agent margin part which is positioned inside the sealing member on the lower substrate and dummy pixels which are positioned at the aligning agent margin part and which enclose a display area. By this configuration, it is possible for a liquid crystal display to be capable of reducing the peripheral area of the display panel so as to expand the display area or making the peripheral area seem smaller to make the display area seem larger.
