A display device includes a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate, a
countering substrate facing the TFT substrate, a sealant, and a liquid
crystal layer interposed between the TFT substrate and the countering
substrate. The TFT substrate includes a substrate having a display area
and a peripheral area, a first TFT formed in the peripheral area and
including a semiconductor layer and a resistive contact member formed on
the semiconductor layer, a light blocking semiconductor pattern, a second
TFT formed in the display area and including a gate electrode. The
sealant couples the TFT substrate to the countering substrate, and covers
the first TFT.
