Abstract

Disclosed is a display device including a transistor, a light emitting element disposed on the transistor and including a first electrode, a second electrode on the first electrode, and an emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, a data line spaced apart from the light emitting element, and a shield electrode disposed at a same level of the first electrode. When viewed in a plan view, the shield electrode overlaps the data line and extends along the data line.

Claims (55)

1. A display device, comprising:

a transistor;

a light emitting element disposed on the transistor, the light emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode on the first electrode, and an emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode;
