Abstract

A display device includes electrodes disposed on a substrate, extended in a first direction, and spaced apart from one another in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and light-emitting elements having ends disposed on the electrodes, wherein the electrodes include a first electrode having a first portion and a second portion, and a floating electrode adjacent to the first portion of the first electrode, and a width of the second portion is greater than a width of the first portion in the second direction.

Claims (71)

1. A display device comprising:

electrodes disposed on a substrate, extended in a first direction, and spaced apart from one another in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and

light-emitting elements having ends disposed on the electrodes, wherein

the electrodes comprise:

a first electrode having a first portion and a second portion; and

a floating electrode adjacent to the first portion of the first electrode, and

a width of the second portion is greater than a width of the first portion in the second direction.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the electrodes comprise:

a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode in the second direction;

a third electrode disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and

a fourth electrode spaced apart from the second electrode in the second direction, and

the floating electrode is disposed between the first portion of the first electrode and the third electrode.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the first electrode comprises an inner side facing the third electrode, and

a distance between the inner side of the first portion of the first electrode and the third electrode is greater than a distance between the inner side of the second portion of the first electrode and the third electrode.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein

the distance between the inner side of the first portion of the first electrode and the third electrode is measured in the second direction, and

the floating electrode is disposed between the first electrode and the third electrode.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein an outer side of the first portion of the first electrode is parallel to at least a side of the third electrode facing the first electrode in the first direction.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the inner side of the first portion of the first electrode is recessed in the second direction from the inner side of the second portion.

7. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the third electrode comprises a first portion and a second portion, and

the floating electrode is disposed between the first portion of the first electrode and the first portion of the third electrode.

8. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

each of the first electrode and the third electrode comprises first portions spaced apart from each other in the first direction, and

the second portion is disposed between the first portions.

9. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the first portion of the third electrode comprises at least one chamfered or rounded corner in at least one bent edge of the first portion of the third electrode.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the first electrode comprises at least one chamfered or rounded corner in at least one bent edge of the first portion of the first electrode.

11. The display device of claim 2 , wherein ends of the light-emitting elements are disposed on the first electrode and the third electrode, and disposed on the second electrode and the fourth electrode.

12. The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

contact electrodes disposed on the electrodes and in contact with at least part of the light-emitting elements.

13. A display device comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a substrate and extended in a first direction;

a third electrode disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and

a fourth electrode spaced apart from the second electrode in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and

light-emitting elements having ends disposed on the first electrode and the third electrode, and on the second electrode and the fourth electrode, wherein

the first electrode comprises:

a first portion that is bent and adjacent to the third electrode; and

a floating electrode adjacent to the first portion of the first electrode, and

the floating electrode is disposed between the first portion of the first electrode and the third electrode.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the first electrode comprises:

an extended electrode portion extended in the first direction; and

a bent electrode portion bent from a side of the extended electrode portion in the first direction and extended in the second direction.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the first portion of the first electrode is disposed at an area where the extended electrode portion meets the bent electrode portion.

16. The display device of claim 14 , wherein

the third electrode comprises an inner side facing the first electrode,

the inner side of the third electrode is parallel to the first direction, and

the floating electrode is disposed between the first portion of the first electrode and the inner side of the third electrode.

17. The display device of claim 14 , wherein

the third electrode comprises a third portion and a fourth portion having a greater width than a width of the third portion in the second direction, and

the floating electrode is disposed between the first portion of the first electrode and the third portion of the third electrode.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the third portion of the third electrode comprises at least one chamfered or rounded corner in at least one bent edge of the third portion of the third electrode.

19. A display device comprising:

first-type electrodes disposed on a substrate, extended in a first direction, and spaced apart from one another in a second direction intersecting the first direction;

second-type electrodes spaced apart from the first-type electrodes in the second direction between the first-type electrodes; and

light-emitting elements disposed on the first-type electrodes and the second-type electrodes, wherein

each of the first-type electrodes comprises:

a first portion;

a second portion having a width greater than a width of the first portion in the second direction; and

a floating electrode adjacent to the first portion, and

a distance between the first portion of the first-type electrodes and the second-type electrodes facing the first portion is greater than a distance between the second portion of the first-type electrodes and the second-type electrode facing the second portion.

20. The display device of claim 19 , wherein the floating electrode is disposed between the first portion of the first-type electrodes and the second-type electrodes.

21. The display device of claim 19 , wherein

the second-type electrodes comprise a first portion and a second portion,

the first portion of the first-type electrodes and the first portion of the second-type electrodes face each other, and

the second portion of the first-type electrodes and the second portion of the second-type electrode face each other.

22. The display device of claim 21 , wherein the floating electrode is disposed between the first portion of the first-type electrodes and the first portion of the second-type electrodes.

23. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the floating electrode extends only a portion of the length of the electrodes in the first direction.

24. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the floating electrode extends only about a same length as the first portion.
