## Abstract

A display device may include: a substrate; first and second electrode on the substrate; light emitting element between the first and second electrodes; a barrier structure on the substrate and including a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface; a light conversion layer on the barrier structure; and a passivation layer on the light conversion layer. A first space defined by the second and third surfaces may be between the substrate and the barrier structure. A second space defined by the first and second surfaces may be between the barrier structure and the passivation layer. The first and second spaces may be alternately located in the first direction. The light emitting element may be in the first space. The light conversion layer may be in the at least one second space.
