A display device and a method for manufacturing the same capable of preventing a defective drive of a gate-in-panel (GIP) driver by dissipating high heat generated in a large-sized thin film transistor of the GIP driver are disclosed. The display device includes a flexible substrate, a GIP driver and a display unit disposed on the flexible substrate, a protective member disposed under the flexible substrate, and a heat pad disposed between the flexible substrate and the protective member and overlapping the GIP driver.
