Display device and method of manufacturing the same

A display device, comprising:

• a substrate having a plurality of light emission areas;
• a plurality of inner banks extending in one direction on the substrate and located in the light emission areas and a plurality of outer banks located outside the light emission areas;
• a first alignment electrode and a second alignment electrode extending in the one direction and overlapping the plurality of inner banks in the light emission areas;
• a light emitting element between the first alignment electrode and the second alignment electrode;
• and
• a first contact electrode contacting one end of the light emitting element and the first alignment electrode and a second contact electrode contacting an other end of the light emitting element and the second alignment electrode,
• wherein the plurality of outer banks do not overlap the first alignment electrode and the second alignment electrode.

A method of manufacturing a display device comprising a substrate comprising a planarization layer, the method comprising:

• concurrently forming a plurality of inner banks and a plurality of outer banks extending in one direction and spaced from each other on the planarization layer;
• forming a first alignment electrode and a second alignment electrode on the plurality of inner banks;
• aligning a light emitting element between the first alignment electrode and the second alignment electrode;
• and
• forming a first contact electrode contacting a first end of the light emitting element on the first alignment electrode and forming a second contact electrode contacting a second end of the light emitting element on the second alignment electrode.
