A display panel includes a plurality of pixels disposed in an active area and arranged substantially in a matrix form including a pixel row and a pixel column, a first gate line disposed adjacent to a first side n of the pixel row and connected to a first pixel in the pixel row, a second gate line disposed adjacent to a second side of the pixel row and connected to a second pixel in the pixel row, a plurality of data lines crossing the first and second gate lines, where the pixels in a pair of adjacent pixel columns are connected to a same data line, and a blocking pattern which overlaps a pixel column disposed in an end portion of the active area.
