Abstract
A display device includes: a first substrate including data electrodes and first and second groups of connecting pads; a second substrate, which faces the first substrate and which includes data signal input terminals, a spare line, and third and fourth groups of connecting pads opposed to the first and second groups of connecting pads, respectively; and a display medium layer interposed between the first and second substrates. The data signal input terminals are connected to the third group of connecting pads. In case of disconnection, a data signal to be supplied to one of the data electrodes may be input through the spare line. The fourth group of connecting pads crosses the spare line with an insulating layer interposed between them. Each pair of connecting pads in the first and third groups or the second and fourth groups is electrically connected together with an anisotropic conductive material.
