A display device having a gate line on a first substrate, a gate insulating layer covering the gate line, a semiconductor layer on the gate insulating layer, a data line intersecting the gate line and including a source electrode and a drain electrode facing the source electrode on the semiconductor layer, a connection assistant separated from the data line, a passivation layer covering the data line and including contact holes exposing the connection assistant and a pixel electrode, including a plurality of sub-pixel electrodes, and formed on the passivation layer. The sub-pixel electrodes are electrically connected to each other through the connection assistant and at least one of the sub-pixel electrodes is electrically connected to the drain electrode. The connection assistant is connected to facing edges of adjacent sub-pixel electrodes and is disposed at about ¼ the distance from the end of the left or the right side of the sub-pixel electrode.
