1. A display device comprising:
an array substrate comprising a display area in which pixels are located, a peripheral area adjacent to the display area, and a pad area adjacent to the peripheral area and in which pad electrodes are located;
an electrified layer under the array substrate;
a first driving member on the array substrate at the pad area;
a flexible circuit film comprising connection lines respectively electrically connected to the pad electrodes;
a conductive connecting part electrically connected to the electrified layer by passing through the array substrate at the pad area;
a covering member comprising:
an insulating first covering member above the array substrate, contacting a portion of the flexible circuit film and the first driving member, and surrounding the first driving member in plan view at the pad area; and
a conductive second covering member above the first covering member, contacting a top surface of an encapsulation substrate, and electrically connected to the conductive connecting part, the encapsulation substrate on the array substrate, covering the pixels, and electrically contacting the second covering member,
wherein static electricity generated in the encapsulation substrate is configured to be induced to the electrified layer through the covering member and the conductive connecting part.
