A display panel includes a substrate, a gate metal layer formed on a substrate, an insulating layer that covers the gate metal layer, and a source metal layer formed on the insulating layer. In a driving circuit region, the gate metal layer includes a first electrode and a second electrode separated from each other in a first direction and close to each other. The first electrode is positioned nearer than the second electrode to an active region and has a first side on a side facing the second electrode. The second electrode includes an ESD sacrificial portion. The ESD sacrificial portion includes a first part extending in the first direction and a second part facing the first side and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the second part not overlapping a source metal of the source metal layer.
