  "description_excerpt": "Field of the Invention The invention relates to display devices, and in particular to a display device with light-emitting elements. Description of the Related Art As digital technology develops, display devices are being used more widely in many aspects of daily life, such as in televisions, notebook computers, computers, cell phones, smartphones, and other modern information devices. Also, display devices are continuously being developed to be lighter, thinner, smaller and more fashionable than previous generations. These display devices include light-emitting diode display devices. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) generate electromagnetic radiation (for example, light) by applying the recombination of an electron-hole pair in a p-n junction. In a forward bias p-n junction formed of direct band gap material such as GaAs or GaN, electromagnetic radiation is generated by the recombination of electron-hole pairs pouring into a depletion region. The electromagnetic radiation may be in the visible light region or the invisible light region, and LEDs of different colors are formed of materials with different energy gaps.\n\nNowadays, LEDs for the display device industry are trending towards mass production, and any reduction in the production cost of LED display devices may bring a significant beneficial economic effect. However, existing display devices are not satisfactory in every aspect. Therefore, a display device that can increase display quality or reduce the production cost is still required in the industry.",
