Claim 16:
17. A method of fabricating a display device, comprising:
forming a pixel circuit layer including at least one transistor on a substrate; and
forming, on the pixel circuit layer, a display element layer including a plurality of emission areas that emit light, and a peripheral area provided around each of the plurafity of emission areas,
wherein the forming of the display element layer comprises:
forming a first electrode and a second electrode spaced apart from each other in each of the plurality of emission areas,
forming, in the peripheral area, a 1-1-th connection line extending in a direction and a 2-1-th connection line provided parallel to the direction in which the 1-1-th connection line extends;
forming a metal layer on the first and the second electrodes and the 1-1-th connection line;
forming, on the 2-1-th connection line, a 2-2-th connection line including a material identical to a material of the metal layer;
aligning a plurality of light emitting elements between the first and the second electrodes by applying an electric field between the first and the second electrodes; and
forming, by removing a portion of the metal layer, on the substrate including the plurality of light emitting elements, a capping layer overlapping each of the first and the second electrodes, a 1-2-th connection line overlapping the 1-1-th connection line, and a bridge pattern electrically disconnected from the capping layer, and
forming the 1-2-th connection line and the bridge pattern to be in the peripheral area and electrically disconnected from each of the first and the second electrodes.
