1. A display device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction, arranged in a second direction, and formed over the substrate;
a plurality of source lines arranged in the first direction;
a plurality of TFTs connected to the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of source lines;
a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the plurality of TFTs;
a plurality of sensor electrodes arranged in the first direction and the second direction;
a first metal line;
a second metal line;
an insulation layer disposed between the plurality of sensor electrodes and the substrate; a first contact hole formed in the insulation layer; and a second contact hole formed in the insulation layer,
wherein
the plurality of sensor electrodes comprise a first sensor electrode and a second sensor electrode arranged in the second direction,
the first sensor electrode is transparent and overlaps a first pixel electrode of the plurality of pixel electrodes,
the second sensor electrode is transparent and overlaps a second pixel electrode of the plurality of pixel electrodes,
the first metal line and the second metal line are arranged in the first direction,
the first contact hole overlaps the first sensor electrode,
the second contact hole overlaps the second sensor electrode,
the first metal line is connected to the first sensor electrode via the first contact hole,
the second metal line is connected to the second sensor electrode via the second contact hole, and
the second contact hole is located away from the first metal line in the first direction.
