Abstract

A display device includes a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode and facing the first electrode, a first insulating layer disposed to at least partially cover the first electrode and the second electrode, a second insulating layer disposed on at least a part of the first insulating layer, and a light-emitting element disposed on the second insulating layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein at least a part of a lower surface of the light-emitting element is chemically bonded to the second insulating layer.

Claims (77)

wherein at least a part of a lower surface of the light-emitting element is chemically bonded to the second insulating layer.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the light-emitting element contacts the second insulating layer to form the chemical bond, and

an area where the light-emitting element contacts the second insulating layer comprises a covalent bond area containing the chemical bond between the light-emitting element and the second insulating layer.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the light-emitting element comprises:

a rod-like semiconductor core;

an insulation film surrounding the semiconductor core; and

a binding group coupled to the insulation film,

the second insulating layer comprises a functional group, and

the chemical bond between the light-emitting element and the second insulating layer is formed by a chemical reaction between the bonding group and the functional group.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein

the binding group comprises:

a main chain;

a linker coupled to the main chain and connecting the main chain with the light-emitting element; and

another functional group substituted on the main chain, and

the another functional group forms a covalent bond with the functional group.

5. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the second insulating layer comprises at least one insulating pattern extended in a direction, and

the at least one insulating pattern is spaced apart from one another in another direction intersecting the direction.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the second insulating layer comprises:

a first insulating pattern partially overlapping the first electrode; and

a second insulating pattern partially overlapping the second electrode.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the first insulating pattern overlaps side portions of the first electrode and does not overlap between the side portions of the first electrode, and

the second insulating pattern overlaps side portions of the second electrode and does not overlap between the side portions of the second electrode.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein

the first insulating pattern overlaps a side portion of the first electrode that faces the second electrode, and
