Display panel having a plurality of light-emitting elements with separators

A display panel comprising:

• a driving element layer including a pixel driver;
• a light-emitting element disposed on the driving element layer, the light-emitting element including:
• a first electrode,
• an intermediate layer disposed on the first electrode and including at least a light-emitting layer, and
• a second electrode disposed on the intermediate layer;
• a pixel-defining layer disposed on the driving element layer and including an opening exposing at least a portion of the first electrode;
• and
• a connection electrode disposed on the pixel-defining layer and electrically connected to the pixel driver and the second electrode, wherein
• in a contact region spaced apart from a light-emitting region where the light-emitting element is disposed, a lower surface of the second electrode is in contact with an upper surface of the connection electrode, and
• a connection region, where the connection electrode and the pixel driver are connected, is disposed between the contact region and the light-emitting region.

A display panel comprising:

• a driving element layer including a plurality of pixel drivers;
• a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed on the driving element layer and electrically connected respectively to the plurality of pixel drivers;
• a plurality of connection electrodes connected to the plurality of pixel drivers and the plurality of light-emitting elements;
• and
• a separator disposed between the plurality of light-emitting elements,
• wherein each of the plurality of light-emitting elements includes:
• a first electrode,
• an intermediate layer disposed on the first electrode, and
• a second electrode disposed on the intermediate layer, and
• in a contact region adjacent to the separator, a lower surface of the second electrode of each of the plurality of light-emitting elements is in contact with an upper surface of a corresponding connection electrode among the plurality of connection electrodes.
