A display device with an integrated touch screen panel includes upper and lower substrates each divided into a display area and a non-display area, which is provided outside of the display area and includes a sealing area. Pixels may be formed in the display area between the upper and lower substrates. A black matrix is formed on a bottom surface of the upper substrate and disposed in the display area and the non-display area. The black matrix is open in the sealing area. Sensing patterns may be formed in the display area on a top surface of the upper substrate. Sensing lines may be formed in the non-display area on the top surface of the upper substrate and connected to the sensing patterns along a first or second direction. A light-shielding pattern is formed to cover the sealing area of the non-display area on the top surface of the upper substrate.
