a first color filter comprising a plurality of first color filter patterns on the first and second sub-emission areas, the plurality of first color filter patterns being configured to transmit a first color light; and

a bank surrounding an emission area of the first pixel including the first and second sub-emission areas,

wherein the first pixel comprises:

a first electrode and a second electrode in the first sub-emission area;

at least one of the first light-emitting elements in the first sub-emission area and connected between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a third electrode and a fourth electrode in the second sub-emission area;

at least one of the first light-emitting elements in the second sub-emission area and connected between the third electrode and the fourth electrode; and

at least one contact electrode configured to connect any one of the first and second electrodes and any one of the third and fourth electrodes.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first color filter patterns are separated from each other with the light blocking pattern interposed therebetween.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first light-emitting elements in the first sub-emission area and at least one of the first light-emitting elements in the second sub-emission area are connected in series.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the bank is located between the first sub-emission area and the second sub-emission area and includes an opening exposing an area between the first sub-emission area and the second sub-emission area.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bank includes openings corresponding to areas including the first and second sub-emission areas and a non-emission area between the first sub-emission area and the second sub-emission area.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first color filter is a color filter corresponding to the first color.

7. The display device of claim 6 , further comprising:

a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel and including a first sub-emission area and a second sub-emission area that are spaced from each other, and second light-emitting elements in the first and second sub-emission areas and configured to emit a same color light; and

a third pixel adjacent to the second pixel and including a first sub-emission area and a second sub-emission area that are spaced from each other, and third light-emitting elements in the first and second sub-emission areas, and configured to emit a same color light.

8. The display device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a second color filter comprising second color filter patterns corresponding to a second color, the second color filter patterns being on the first and second sub-emission areas of the second pixel and being spaced from each other with the light blocking pattern interposed therebetween; and

a third color filter comprising third color filter patterns corresponding to a third color, the third color filter patterns being on the first and second sub-emission areas of the third pixel and being spaced from each other with the light blocking pattern interposed therebetween.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the light blocking pattern is on the first to third pixels and overlapping non-emission areas between the first sub-emission areas and the second sub-emission areas of the first to third pixels, the light blocking pattern including a plurality of first openings corresponding to the first and second sub-emission areas of the first pixel, a plurality of second openings corresponding to the first and second sub-emission areas of the second pixel, and a plurality of third openings corresponding to the first and second sub-emission areas of the third pixel.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein a size of each of the first openings is smaller than a size of each of the second and third openings.

11. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the second light-emitting elements are second color light-emitting elements, and

the third light-emitting elements are third color light-emitting elements.

12. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the second and third light-emitting elements are first color light-emitting elements, and

the display device further comprises a first color conversion layer on the second pixel to convert a first color light emitted from the second light-emitting elements into a second color light, and a second color conversion layer on the third pixel to convert the first color light emitted from the third light-emitting elements into a third color light.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the first color conversion layer is between the second light-emitting elements and the second color filter, and

the second color conversion layer is between the third light-emitting elements and the third color filter.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the first and second color conversion layers are on one surface of a substrate on which the first to third color filters are located.

15. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the first and second color conversion layers are on one surface of a base layer on which the first to third light-emitting elements are located, and

the first to third color filters are disposed on one surface of a substrate so as to face the one surface of the base layer.

16. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the first and second color conversion layers and the first to third color filters are sequentially formed on one surface of a base layer on which the first to third light-emitting elements are located, and

wherein the display device further comprises an encapsulation layer configured to cover the one surface of the base layer on which the first to third color filters are located.

17. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the first, second, and third light-emitting elements are blue light-emitting elements,

wherein the first, second, and third color filters are a blue color filter, a green color filter, and a red color filter, respectively, and
