Abstract

A display device and a method of repairing the same, where the display device includes a substrate, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode on the substrate and sequentially arranged along a first direction, at least one first light emitting element between the first electrode and the second electrode, at least one second light emitting element between the second electrode and the third electrode, a first contact electrode that is in contact with the first electrode and one end of the first light emitting element, a second contact electrode having one side that is in contact with another end of the first light emitting element and another side that is in contact with the third electrode and one end of the second light emitting element, a third contact electrode that is in contact with the second electrode and another end of the second light emitting element.

Claims (16)

1 . A display device comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode on the substrate and sequentially arranged along a first direction;

at least one first light emitting element between the first electrode and the second electrode;

at least one second light emitting element between the second electrode and the third electrode;

a first contact electrode that is in contact with the first electrode and one end of the first light emitting element;

a second contact electrode having one side that is in contact with another end of the first light emitting element and another side that is in contact with the third electrode and one end of the second light emitting element;

a third contact electrode that is in contact with the second electrode and another end of the second light emitting element; and

at least one conductive pattern that is in contact with the third electrode and one end of the second light emitting element,

wherein the second contact electrode bypasses the third contact electrode and extends around the third contact electrode, and

wherein the conductive pattern is disconnected from the second contact electrode.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second contact electrode and the conductive pattern comprise a same conductive layer.

3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive pattern comprises a first conductive pattern and a second conductive pattern electrically separated from each other, and

wherein the display device further comprises a connection electrode connecting the first conductive pattern and the second contact electrode.

4 . The display device according to claim 3 , wherein one end of the connection electrode is in contact with one end of the first conductive pattern, and another end of the connection electrode is in contact with the second contact electrode.

5 . The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the second electrode comprises a first conductive layer, the second contact electrode comprises a second conductive layer, the connection electrode comprises a third conductive layer, and the second conductive layer is between the first conductive layer and the third conductive layer.
