1. A display device comprising:
a substrate having a front surface, a rear surface, and a through hole passing from the front surface to the rear surface;
a plurality of pixels on the front surface of the substrate, the plurality of pixels being arranged in a display area around the through hole;
a plurality of scan lines extending along a first direction in the display area and configured to provide scan signals to the plurality of pixels;
a plurality of data lines extending along a second direction crossing the first direction in the display area and configured to provide data signals to the plurality of pixels, the plurality of data lines comprising a first data line and a second data line, each of the first data line and the second data line including a curved portion in a non-display area between the display area and the through hole;
an insulation layer interposed between the curved portion of the first data line and the curved portion of the second data line in a third direction perpendicular to the front surface of the substrate; and
an encapsulation layer on the plurality of pixels and including a first inorganic layer, a second inorganic layer, and an organic layer between the first inorganic layer and the second inorganic layer, the first inorganic layer and the second inorganic layer being in contact with each other in the non-display area between the display area and the through hole,
wherein the curved portions of the first and second data lines are located between the display area and a contact region of the first and second inorganic layers.
