Method for manufacturing a display device

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a display device, the display device including: a substrate including a display area and a sub area at a side of the display area; a plurality of light emitting elements on the substrate in the display area; a first dam on the substrate and between the plurality of light emitting elements and the sub area; a bank structure on the substrate and in the sub area; and a first valley between the first dam and the bank structure, wherein the method includes: forming a first metal layer including a first metal in the first valley; forming a step compensator on the first metal layer in the first valley; forming a photoresist layer on the first metal layer and the step compensator; forming a photoresist pattern by patterning the photoresist layer; and forming a first electrode by patterning the first metal layer using the photoresist pattern.
