Display device and method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:

• forming driving transistors, each of the driving transistors including a first electrode and a second electrode in pixel areas on a substrate;
• forming an insulating layer covering the first electrodes and the second electrodes of the driving transistors, the insulating layer having contact holes respectively overlapping with the first electrodes of the driving transistors;
• and
• forming, on the insulating layer, light emitting elements including pixel electrodes respectively overlapping with the first electrodes of the driving transistors,
• wherein forming the insulating layer includes forming an insulating pattern in at least one of the contact holes to prevent a corresponding one of the pixel areas from emitting light.

A pixel, comprising:

• a light emitting element;
• a pixel circuit configured to drive the light emitting element;
• and
• an insulating pattern to electrically disconnect the pixel circuit from the light emitting element when the pixel is defective.
