A display device includes a first substrate including a display area and a non-display area. A gate line and a gate electrode are in the display area. A data line is connected to the gate line. A gate insulating layer is on the gate line and the gate electrode. A semiconductor layer is on the gate insulating layer. A drain electrode and a source electrode are on the semiconductor layer. A first passivation layer is on the drain electrode and the source electrode. A color filter is on the first passivation layer. A common electrode is on the first passivation layer. A second passivation layer is on the common electrode. A pixel electrode is on the second passivation layer. The gate insulating layer has substantially a same shape as a shape of the gate electrode. The gate insulating layer has a width wider than a width of the gate electrode.
