Abstract

A method of manufacturing display device is disclosed. A substrate includes a basal layer and metal contacts on the top surface. An insulation layer is disposed on the top surface and includes a first mounting surface and a bottom surface. Multiple grooves are formed on the insulation layer and each extends from the first mounting surface to the bottom surface. The grooves respectively correspond to the metal contacts and expose respective metal contacts. An electromagnetic force is provided with a direction from the basal layer toward the insulation layer. A droplet containing multiple micro components is provided on the first mounting surface. A configuration of an electrode of the micro component corresponds to a configuration of one of the grooves. The electrode is attracted to the corresponding groove by the electromagnetic force so as to electrically contact the metal contact.
