1. A display module comprising:
a glass substrate comprising a thin film transistor (TFT) layer arranged on a front surface of the glass substrate;
a driver circuit disposed on a rear surface of the glass substrate, the driver circuit configured to drive the TFT layer;
a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) electrically connected to the TFT layer of the glass substrate;
a plurality of first connection pads formed in an edge region of the front surface of the glass substrate so as to be electrically connected, through wiring, to a TFT circuit provided on the TFT layer;
a plurality of second connection pads formed in an edge region of the rear surface of the glass substrate so as to be electrically connected to the driver circuit through wiring; and
a plurality of side wirings formed in a plurality of recessed grooves arranged at intervals on a side of the glass substrate so that the plurality of side wirings are located at concave positions from the side of the glass substrate, the plurality of side wirings electrically connecting the plurality of first connection pads to the plurality of second connection pads,
wherein the plurality of first connection pads and the plurality of second connection pads are spaced a predetermined distance inward from the side of the glass substrate, and
wherein the plurality of recessed grooves are arranged so that opposite ends of the plurality of recessed grooves are located at positions corresponding to the plurality of first connection pads and the plurality of second connection pads, respectively.
