1. A display device comprising:
a protective layer comprising:
a first area located on a substrate;
a second area located on the first area;
a third area located on the second area; and
a fourth area located on the third area;
a first island part disposed in the first area of the protective layer, the first island part comprising:
a buffer layer disposed on the substrate; and
a semiconductor layer disposed on the buffer layer;
a second island part disposed in the second area of the protective layer, the second island part comprising:
a first gate insulating layer disposed on the first area; and
a first metal layer disposed on the first gate insulating layer;
a third island part disposed in the third area of the protective layer, the third island part comprising:
a second gate insulating layer disposed on the second area; and
a second metal layer disposed on the second gate insulating layer-; and
a fourth island part disposed in the fourth area of the protective layer, the fourth island part comprising:
