Light-emitting element ink, display device, and method of fabricating the display device
A light-emitting element ink, a display device, and a method of fabricating the display device are provided. The light-emitting element ink includes a light-emitting element solvent, light-emitting elements dispersed in the light-emitting element solvent, each of the light-emitting elements including a plurality of semiconductor layers and an insulating film that surrounds parts of outer surfaces of the semiconductor layers, and a surfactant dispersed in the light-emitting element solvent, the surfactant including a fluorine-based and/or a silicon-based surfactant.
1. A display device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of first banks extending in a first direction on the substrate and spaced apart from each other;
first and second electrodes extending in the first direction and on different ones of the first banks spaced apart from each other;
a first insulating layer on the substrate and covering parts of the first and second electrodes;
a plurality of light-emitting elements on the first insulating layer such that both end portions of each of the light-emitting elements are respectively on the first and second electrodes; and
a fluorine-based and/or a silicon-based surfactant on a surface of the first insulating layer.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is further on surfaces of the light-emitting elements.
3. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first contact electrode on the first electrode such that the first contact electrode is in contact with first end portions of the light-emitting elements; and
a second contact electrode on the second electrode such that the second contact electrode is in contact with second end portions of the light-emitting elements.
4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:
each of the light-emitting elements comprises a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, and at least one light-emitting layer between the first and second semiconductor layers, and
the first semiconductor layer, the second semiconductor layer, and the at least one light-emitting layer are surrounded by an insulating film.
