Abstract

The embodiment provides a display device including an array substrate, an opposite substrate, a plurality of micro light-emitting diodes and a plurality of bank structures. The opposite substrate is disposed opposite to the array substrate. The micro light-emitting diodes are arranged in an array on the array substrate, wherein the micro light-emitting diodes are electrically connected to the array substrate. The bank structures are located between the array substrate and the opposite substrate, wherein the bank structures form a plurality of accommodating regions, and one of the micro light-emitting diodes is located in one of the accommodating regions. A height of the bank structures is more than or equal to a height of the micro light-emitting diodes.
