Display device and method of repairing the same

A display device comprising:

• a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel adjacent to each other, each of the first, second, and third sub-pixels including an emission area and a non-emission area;
• light emitting elements in the emission area of each of the first to the third sub-pixels;
• a first insulating layer under the light emitting elements;
• a bank on the first insulating layer in the non-emission area;
• a second insulating layer on the light emitting elements in at least the emission area, and including, in at least the non-emission area, through holes to expose one area of the bank;
• electrodes on the second insulating layer and electrically connected to the light emitting elements;
• sub-electrodes spaced from the electrodes;
• an intermediate electrode electrically connecting at least one of the sub-electrodes of the first sub-pixel with at least one of the sub-electrodes of the second sub-pixel;
• and
• a third insulating layer on the second insulating layer, and including, in at least the non-emission area, a first contact hole to expose one area of the intermediate electrode, and a second contact hole to expose at least one of the electrodes.

A method of repairing a display device,

• wherein the display device comprises a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel adjacent to each other, each of the first to third sub-pixels including an emission area and a non-emission area,
• wherein each of the first, second, and third sub-pixels comprises:
• a first alignment electrode and a second alignment electrode spaced from each other;
• a first insulating layer on the first and second alignment electrodes in at least the emission area, and including, in at least the non-emission area, a plurality of openings to expose one area of the first alignment electrode;
• light emitting elements on the first insulating layer on the first alignment electrode and the second alignment electrode in the emission area;
• a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer and the light emitting elements, and including a through hole corresponding to each of the openings in at least the non-emission area;
• and
• a third insulating layer on the second insulating layer, and including a contact hole corresponding to the through hole in the at least non-emission area, and
• wherein one area of the first alignment electrode is exposed to an outside in at least the non-emission area,
• the method comprising separating one area of the first alignment electrode that is exposed to the outside into parts.
