Abstract

A display device includes light-emitting elements arranged on a circuit substrate, extending in a thickness direction of the circuit substrate, and including a first light-emitting element configured to emit a first light, and a second light-emitting element configured to emit a second light, and having a width that is less than a width of the first light-emitting element, a common electrode layer above the light-emitting elements, and a connection electrode layer between the first light-emitting element and the common electrode layer.

Claims (23)

1 . A display device comprising:

light-emitting elements arranged on a circuit substrate, extending in a thickness direction of the circuit substrate, and comprising a first light-emitting element configured to emit a first light, and a second light-emitting element configured to emit a second light, and having a width that is less than a width of the first light-emitting element;

a common electrode layer above the light-emitting elements; and

a connection electrode layer between the first light-emitting element and the common electrode layer,

wherein the first light-emitting element partially overlaps the second light-emitting element in the thickness direction.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first light-emitting element is on a different layer from the second light-emitting element.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the light-emitting elements further comprise a third light-emitting element configured to emit a third light, and on a different layer from the first light-emitting element.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein the third light-emitting element is on a same layer as the second light-emitting element.

5 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein the width of the first light-emitting element is greater than a width of the third light-emitting element.

6 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein portions of the first light-emitting element respectively overlap the second light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element in a plan view.

7 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the connection electrode layer does not overlap with the second light-emitting element.

8 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the connection electrode layer comprises a same material as the common electrode layer.

9 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein a width of the connection electrode layer is less than the width of the first light-emitting element.

10 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting elements comprise:

a first semiconductor layer on the circuit substrate;

an active layer on the first semiconductor layer; and

a second semiconductor layer on the active layer.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the light-emitting elements further comprise an electron-blocking layer between the first semiconductor layer and the active layer, and a superlattice layer between the active layer and the second semiconductor layer.

12 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein the circuit substrate further comprises pixel electrodes, and

wherein the first semiconductor layer of the light-emitting elements is connected to a respective one of the pixel electrodes.

13 . The display device of claim 12 , further comprising a connection electrode between the first semiconductor layers of the light-emitting elements and the pixel electrodes.

14 . The display device of claim 13 , wherein a length of the connection electrode of the first light-emitting element is less than a length of the connection electrode of the second light-emitting element.

15 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the connection electrode layer comprises a same material as the second semiconductor layer.
