Abstract

A display device with high resolution is provided. Manufacturing cost of a display device using a micro LED as a display element is reduced. The display device includes a substrate, a plurality of transistors, and a plurality of light-emitting diodes. The plurality of light-emitting diodes are provided in a matrix over the substrate. Each of the plurality of transistors are electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of light-emitting diodes. The plurality of light-emitting diodes are positioned closer to the substrate than the plurality of transistors are. The plurality of light-emitting diodes emit light to the opposite side of the substrate.
