Abstract

A display device includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a substrate and spaced apart from each other, a first light emitting element disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, a second light emitting element disposed on the first electrode and spaced apart from the first light emitting element, and an insulating layer disposed on the first electrode and overlapping the second light emitting element. The insulating layer includes at least one contact hole which penetrates the insulating layer to expose a part of the first electrode.

Claims (51)

1. A display device comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a substrate and spaced apart from each other;

a first light emitting element disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a second light emitting element disposed on the first electrode and spaced apart from the first light emitting element; and

an insulating layer disposed on the first electrode and overlapping the second light emitting element, the insulating layer comprising at least one contact hole which penetrates the insulating layer to expose a part of the first electrode.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a length of the second light emitting element is greater than a diameter of the at least one contact hole.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the at least one contact hole includes a plurality of contact holes, and

at least part of the plurality of contact holes overlap the second light emitting element.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the second light emitting element is electrically connected with the first electrode.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein at least part of the second light emitting element directly contacts the first electrode.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first light emitting element is electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode, and

the second light emitting element is not electrically connected to the second electrode.

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

a first contact electrode electrically connected with an end of the first light emitting element and the first electrode; and

a second contact electrode electrically connected with another end of the first light emitting element and the second electrode,

wherein the first contact electrode is electrically connected with the first electrode through the at least one contact hole.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the second light emitting element includes:

an end electrically connected with the first contact electrode; and

another end contacting the insulating layer.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first electrode includes a side facing the second electrode and another side opposite to the side,

a third light emitting element is disposed at the another side of the first electrode, and the insulating layer overlaps the third light emitting element.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the third light emitting element is not electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode.

11. A display device comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a substrate and spaced apart from each other;

a first insulating layer overlapping at least part of each of the first electrode and the second electrode;

a first light emitting element disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a second light emitting element disposed on the first electrode and spaced apart from the first light emitting element;

a second insulating layer disposed on the first electrode and overlapping the second light emitting element, the second insulating layer comprising at least one first contact hole which penetrates the second insulating layer to expose a part of the first electrode; and

a third insulating layer disposed on the first light emitting element and exposing at least part of the first light emitting element.

12. The display device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a first contact electrode electrically connected with an end of the first light emitting element and the first electrode; and

a second contact electrode electrically connected with another end of the first light emitting element and the second electrode.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the second insulating layer further comprises at least one second contact hole which penetrates the second insulating layer to expose at least part of the second light emitting element.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein a length of the second light emitting element is greater than a diameter of the at least one second contact hole.

15. The display device of claim 12 , wherein

the first insulating layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and

the first light emitting element is disposed on the first insulating layer.

16. The display device of claim 12 , wherein

at least part of the first insulating layer is disposed on the first electrode, and

the second light emitting element is disposed on the first electrode.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the at least one first contact hole penetrates the first insulating layer to expose a part of the first electrode.

18. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the second insulating layer is spaced apart from the first insulating layer.

19. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the second insulating layer contacts at least part of the first insulating layer.

20. The display device of claim 11 , wherein

the first electrode includes a side facing the second electrode and another side opposite to the side,

a third light emitting element is disposed at the another side of the first electrode, and

the second insulating layer overlaps the third light emitting element.

21. The display device of claim 20 , wherein the third light emitting element is not electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode.
