Display device and manufacturing method therefor

A method of manufacturing a display device, comprising:

• preparing a target substrate, and a first electrode and a second electrode that are spaced apart from each other on the target substrate;
• forming a coating layer on at least a partial area of the target substrate that covers at least a portion of each of the first electrode and the second electrode;
• spraying an ink comprising a light emitting element on the coating layer covering the first electrode and the second electrode;
• and
• positioning the light emitting element between the first electrode and the second electrode.

A display device comprising:

• a base layer in which an alignment area and a non-alignment area are defined;
• a first electrode and a second electrode extending in a first direction and spaced apart from each other in a second direction that is different from the first direction, at least a portion of each of the first electrode and the second electrode being in the alignment area on the base layer;
• a coating layer covering at least a portion of each of the first electrode and the second electrode, and comprising a hydrophobic material;
• at least one opening defined by the coating layer, and partially exposing the first electrode and the second electrode;
• and
• at least one light emitting element between the first electrode and the second electrode in the alignment area, and in an area in which the opening of the coating layer is not disposed.
