Abstract

A display device comprising: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a plurality of pixels arrayed in a display region of the substrate; an inorganic light-emitting element provided to each of the pixels on the first surface of the substrate; cathode wiring provided in a peripheral region between the display region and an end of the substrate on the first surface of the substrate and electrically coupled to the inorganic light-emitting element; and a heat radiator provided on the second surface of the substrate, wherein the substrate has a through hole that connects the first surface with the second surface in the peripheral region of the substrate and overlaps the cathode wiring in planar view viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the substrate.

Claims (38)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a plurality of pixels arrayed in a display region of the substrate;

an inorganic light-emitting element provided to each of the pixels on the first surface of the substrate;

cathode wiring provided in a peripheral region between the display region and an end of the substrate on the first surface of the substrate and electrically coupled to the inorganic light-emitting element; and

a heat radiator provided on the second surface of the substrate, wherein

the substrate has a through hole that connects the first surface with the second surface in the peripheral region of the substrate and overlaps the cathode wiring in planar view viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the substrate.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a planarization film that covers at least a side surface of the inorganic light-emitting element; and

a cathode electrode provided on the planarization film and coupled to the cathode wiring, wherein

thermal conductivity of the heat radiator is higher than thermal conductivity of the cathode electrode.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , further comprising a heat transmitter provided in the through hole.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the cathode electrode is provided along an inner wall and a bottom of the through hole, and
