Abstract

A display device includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a substrate, the first and second electrodes extending in a first direction in parallel to each other, a first insulating layer disposed on the first and second electrodes, light-emitting elements disposed on the first insulating layer, the light-emitting elements including first end portions disposed on the first electrode and second end portions disposed on the second electrode, an oxide semiconductor layer disposed on the first insulating layer and the light-emitting elements, the oxide semiconductor layer including a first conductive portion electrically contacting the first end portions of the light-emitting elements, a second conductive portion electrically contacting the second end portions of the light-emitting elements, and a semiconductive portions disposed between the first and second conductive portions, and a second insulating layer disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer.

Claims (34)

1. A display device comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a substrate, the first and second electrodes extending in a first direction in parallel to each other;

a first insulating layer disposed on the first and second electrodes;

light-emitting elements disposed on the first insulating layer, the light-emitting elements including:

first end portions disposed on the first electrode; and

second end portions disposed on the second electrode;

an oxide semiconductor layer disposed on the first insulating layer and the light-emitting elements, the oxide semiconductor layer including:

a first conductive portion electrically contacting the first end portions of the light-emitting elements;

a second conductive portion electrically contacting the second end portions of the light-emitting elements; and

a semiconductive portion disposed between the first and second conductive portions; and

a second insulating layer disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive portion, the second conductive portion, and the semiconductive portion overlap the light-emitting elements and are integral with each other.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein an oxygen content of each of the first and second conductive portions is lower than an oxygen content of the semiconductive portion.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first and second conductive portions are spaced apart from each other, and

the semiconductive portion is disposed between the first and second conductive portions.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive portion, the second conductive portion, and the semiconductive portion have a same length in the first direction.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a length of each of the first and second conductive portions in the first direction is greater than a length of the semiconductive portion in the first direction.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

a width of the first and second conductive portions in a second direction is greater than a width of the semiconductive portion in a second direction, and

the second direction is a direction that intersects the first direction.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the width of the semiconductive portion is smaller than a length of the light-emitting elements.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the semiconductive portion overlaps the second insulating layer, and

the semiconductive portion does not overlap the first end portions and the second end portions of the light-emitting elements.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein a planar size of the semiconductive portion is equal to a planar size of the second insulating layer.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second conductive portions do not overlap the second insulating layer.

12. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

first banks overlapping the first and second electrodes and extending in the first direction; and

a second bank defining an emission area where the light-emitting elements are disposed and a subarea spaced apart from the emission area in the first direction,

wherein the first and second conductive portions are disposed in and across the emission area and the subarea.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein

the semiconductive portion is disposed in the emission area, and

the semiconductive portion is not disposed in the subarea.
