1. A display device comprising:
a substrate;
a transistor overlapping the substrate and comprising a semiconductor layer, a source electrode or a drain electrode, wherein the source electrode or the drain electrode directly contacts the semiconductor layer;
an interlayer insulating layer overlapping the transistor and including a first groove and a second groove;
a first conductive line electrically connected to the transistor, disposed on the interlayer insulating layer and at least partially disposed inside the first groove, the interlayer insulating layer overlapping the source electrode or the drain electrode of the transistor;
a first data line electrically connected to the transistor, disposed on the interlayer insulating layer and at least partially disposed inside the second groove, the interlayer insulating layer overlapping the source electrode or the drain electrode of the transistor;
a pixel electrode electrically connected to the first conductive line through the transistor and overlapping the first conductive line;
a passivation layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the first conductive line and directly contacting at least one of the pixel electrode and the first conductive line;
a common electrode overlapping the pixel electrode; and
a light emitting element layer disposed between the common electrode and the pixel electrode,
wherein the interlayer insulating layer includes a first portion overlapping the first conductive line and a second portion excluding the first portion, and
a thickness of the first portion is less than a thickness of the second portion, and
wherein the passivation layer is in a direct contact with a part of the first groove and the second groove.
