Abstract
A display device includes electrodes spaced apart from each other in a display area, an insulating layer disposed on the electrodes, light emitting elements disposed between the electrodes on the insulating layer, a signal line electrically connected to the light emitting elements, and a pad electrode electrically connected to the signal line, the pad electrode and the electrodes being disposed on a same layer in a non-display area. The insulating layer includes an opening exposing the pad electrode, and the signal line does not overlap the opening of the insulating layer in plan view.
Claims10
A method of manufacturing a display device comprising:
- forming a via layer on a signal line;
- forming a contact hole exposing the signal line in the via layer;
- forming electrodes and a pad electrode on the via layer;
- forming an insulating layer on the electrodes and the pad electrode;
- forming an opening in the insulating layer that exposes a first region of the pad electrode and does not overlap the contact hole in plan view;
- and
- aligning light emitting elements between the electrodes on the insulating layer,
- wherein a second region of the pad electrode is electrically connected to the signal line through the contact hole of the via layer.
