Abstract

A display device includes first and second pixels including first to third sub-pixels. Each of the first to third sub-pixels includes a first area disposed at a side of a pixel circuit, a second area disposed on another side of the pixel circuit, light emitting elements electrically connected to the pixel circuit, and an electrode electrically connecting the light emitting elements and the pixel circuit. The electrode of the first sub-pixel of the first pixel includes a first extension electrically connected to the pixel circuit in the first area and overlapping the second area in plan view, and the electrode of the first sub-pixel of the second pixel includes a second extension electrically connected to the pixel circuit in the second area and overlapping the first area in plan view.
