1. A display device comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode and a second electrode spaced from each other on the substrate; and

a first light emitting element and a second light emitting element arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element are electrically insulated from each other,

wherein the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element have different lengths, and wherein:

the first electrode comprises a first lower electrode and a first upper electrode, wherein an insulation layer is located between the first lower electrode and the first upper electrode;

the second electrode comprises a second lower electrode and a second upper electrode, wherein the insulation layer is located between the second lower electrode and the second upper electrode;

the first lower electrode and the second lower electrode are spaced from each other in a first direction and are located at a same layer; and

the first upper electrode and the second upper electrode are spaced from each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and are located at a same layer.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

a length of the second light emitting element is shorter than that of the first light emitting element.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element have a cylindrical shape, and

the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element cross each other.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the second light emitting element at least partially overlaps one surface of the first light emitting element.

the first light emitting element is located between the first lower electrode and the second lower electrode; and

the second light emitting element is located between the first upper electrode and the second upper electrode.

6. A display device comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode and a second electrode on the substrate;

a first light emitting element located above the first electrode and the second electrode;

a second light emitting element located above the first light emitting element and having a different length from the first light emitting element;

an insulation layer between the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element;

a first contact electrode connecting a first end portion of the first light emitting element and a first end portion of the second light emitting element to the first electrode; and

a second contact electrode connecting a second end portion of the first light emitting element and a second end portion of the second light emitting element to the second electrode.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

a length of the second light emitting element is shorter than that of the first light emitting element.

8. The display device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a first alignment electrode on the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein the first alignment electrode comprises a first sub-alignment electrode and a second sub-alignment electrode located at a same layer;

the first sub-alignment electrode connects the first electrode and the first contact electrode; and

the second sub-alignment electrode connects the second electrode and the second contact electrode.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein

the first light emitting element at least partially overlaps the first sub-alignment electrode and the second sub-alignment electrode.

10. The display device of claim 8 , further comprising:

two second alignment electrodes located at the same layer as the first alignment electrode,

wherein the two second alignment electrodes are spaced from the first sub-alignment electrode and the second sub-alignment electrode, and are located between the first sub-alignment electrode and the second sub-alignment electrode.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein

the second light emitting element at least partially overlaps the two second alignment electrodes.

12. The display device of claim 8 , further comprising:

a first auxiliary electrode and a second auxiliary electrode located at the same layer as the first alignment electrode,

wherein the first auxiliary electrode and the second auxiliary electrode are spaced from the first alignment electrode, wherein the first alignment electrode is located between the first auxiliary electrode and the second auxiliary electrode.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein

the first contact electrode comprises a first lower contact electrode and a first upper contact electrode that are located at different layers, wherein the insulation layer is located between the first lower contact electrode and the first upper contact electrode; and

the second contact electrode comprises a second lower contact electrode and a second upper contact electrode that are located at different layers, wherein the insulation layer is located between the second lower contact electrode and the second upper contact electrode.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein

the first lower contact electrode connects the first sub-alignment electrode and the first end portion of the first light emitting element; and

the second lower contact electrode connects the second sub-alignment electrode and the second end portion of the first light emitting element.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein

the first upper contact electrode connects the first auxiliary electrode and the first end portion of the second light emitting element; and

the second upper contact electrode connects the second auxiliary electrode and the second end portion of the second light emitting element.
