Abstract

An emissive display device includes: a substrate; a transistor disposed on the substrate; an insulating layer disposed on the transistor; a connection electrode disposed on the insulating layer and electrically connected to the transistor; a first electrode of a light emitting element disposed on the insulating layer; a separation pattern layer including a first pattern layer disposed on the connection electrode and a second pattern layer disposed on the insulating layer; a pixel defining layer disposed on the insulating layer and the separation pattern layer and including an opening overlapping the connection electrode; and a second electrode of the light emitting element disposed on the pixel defining layer and connected to the connection electrode through the opening of the pixel defining layer.
