Abstract
Provided herein is a display device and a method of fabricating the display device. The display device includes a substrate including a display area and a non-display area, a via layer disposed in the display area, electrodes disposed on the via layer and spaced apart from each other, light emitting elements disposed between the electrodes, dummy pattern layers disposed in the non-display area, and dummy electrodes disposed on the dummy pattern layers. The via layer and the dummy pattern layers may be disposed on a same layer. The electrodes and the dummy electrodes may be disposed on a same layer.
Claims19
A display device comprising:
- a substrate comprising a display area comprising pixels, and a non-display area;
- a via layer in the display area;
- electrodes above the via layer and spaced apart from each other;
- light-emitting elements between the electrodes;
- dummy pattern layers in the non-display area;
- signal lines between the substrate and the dummy pattern layers, and configured to supply control signals or power to the pixels;
- and
- dummy electrodes above the dummy pattern layers,
- wherein the via layer and the dummy pattern layers are at a same layer, and
- wherein the electrodes and the dummy electrodes are at a same layer.
A display device comprising:
- a substrate comprising a display area comprising pixels, and a non-display area;
- a via layer in the display area;
- electrodes above the via layer and spaced apart from each other;
- light-emitting elements between the electrodes;
- dummy pattern layers disposed in the non-display area;
