Therefore, a first component mentioned below may be a second component in a technical context of the present disclosure.Like reference numerals generally refer to like elements throughout the application.A size and a thickness of each component illustrated in the drawing are illustrated for convenience of description, and the present disclosure is not limited to the size and the thickness of the illustrated component.The features of various embodiments of the present disclosure may be partially or fully attached to or combined with each other and may technically interlock and operate with each other in various ways, and the embodiments may be carried out independently of or in conjunction with each other.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.FIG. 1 is a schematic system configuration view of a display device according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.For convenience of explanation, FIG. 1 illustrates only a display panel PN, a gate driver GD, a data driver DD, and a timing controller TC of a display device 100 among various components. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.Referring to FIG. 1, the display device 100 may include a display panel PN including a plurality of subpixels SP. The display device 100 may also include a gate driver GD and a data driver DD configured to supply various signals to the display panel PN, and a timing controller TC configured to control the gate driver GD and the data driver DD.The gate driver GD may supply a plurality of scan signals to a plurality of scan lines SL in response to a plurality of gate control signals GCS supplied from the timing controller TC. The plurality of scan signals may include a first scan signal SCAN 1 and a second scan signal SCAN 2. Although FIG. 1 illustrates that a gate driver GD is disposed on a side of the display panel PN so as to be spaced apart from the display panel PN, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.The gate driver GD may also be arranged in a GIP (gate-in-panel) manner, and the present disclosure is not limited to the number and position of the gate drivers GD.The data driver DD may convert image data RGB supplied from the timing controller TC into a data signal using a reference gamma voltage in response to a plurality of data control signals DCS supplied from the timing controller TC. Further, the data driver DD may supply the converted data signal to a plurality of data lines DL.The timing controller TC may control the image data RGB input from the outside and supply the image data RGB to the data driver DD.The timing controller TC may generate a gate control signal GCS and a data control signal DCS using synchronization signals SYNC such as a pixel clock signal, a data enable signal, and horizontal / vertical synchronization signals input from the outside. The timing controller TC may supply the generated gate control signal GCS and data control signal DCS to the gate driver GD and the data driver DD, respectively.The display panel PN is configured to display images to a user, and may include the plurality of subpixels SP. The display panel PN may include a plurality of scan lines SL and a plurality of data lines DL that overlap each other, and each of the plurality of sub-pixels SP may be connected to a scan line SL and a data line DL. Further, although not illustrated in the drawing, each of the plurality of subpixels SP may be connected to a high voltage power line, a low voltage power line, an initialization signal line, a light emission control signal line, and the like.Each of the plurality of subpixels SP is a minimum unit for displaying an image, and may include a light emitting element and a pixel circuit for driving the light emitting element. A plurality of light emitting elements may be defined differently depending on the type of the display panel PN. For example, when the display panel PN is an organic light emitting display panel, the light emitting element may be an organic light emitting element including an anode, a light emitting unit, and a cathode. Hereinafter, descriptions will be made on the assumption that the light emitting element is an organic light emitting element, but the light emitting element is not limited thereto.The pixel circuit is configured to control driving of the light emitting element. The pixel circuit may be composed of a plurality of transistors and a capacitor, but is not limited thereto.Hereinafter, the pixel circuit of the subpixel SP will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of a subpixel of the display device according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.Referring to FIG. 2, a pixel circuit of each of the plurality of subpixels SP may include a first transistor to sixth transistors T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4, T 5, and T 6, and a capacitor Cst.The first transistor T 1 may be connected to a second scan line and may be controlled by a second scan signal SCAN 2 supplied through the second scan line. The first transistor T 1 may be electrically connected between a data line supplying a data signal Vdata and the capacitor Cst. When the second scan signal SCAN 2 of an on-level voltage is applied through the second scan line, the first transistor T 1 may transmit the data signal Vdata supplied from the data line to the capacitor Cst. The first transistor T 1 may be referred to as a switching transistor that controls a timing of applying the data signal Vdata to the capacitor Cst.The second transistor T 2 may be electrically connected between a high voltage power line supplying a high voltage current signal EVDD and the fifth transistor T 5. Further, a gate electrode of the second transistor T 2 may be electrically connected to the capacitor Cst. The second transistor T 2 may be referred to as a driving transistor that controls brightness of a light emitting element 130 by controlling a current flowing to the light emitting element 130 depending on a voltage applied to the gate electrode.Likewise, the third transistor T 3 may be controlled by a first scan signal SCAN 1 supplied through a first scan line. The third transistor T 3 may be electrically connected between the gate electrode and a drain electrode or between the gate electrode and a source electrode of the second transistor T 2, depending on the type of the third transistor T 3.The second transistor T 2 as the driving transistor is configured to control a current flowing to the light emitting element 130 depending on the data signal Vdata applied to the subpixel SP. However, due to a threshold voltage difference between the second transistors T 2 arranged in the respective subpixels SP, a difference in brightness may occur between the light emitting elements 130 arranged in the respective subpixels SP.In this case, the third transistor T 3 may be arranged to compensate a threshold voltage of the second transistor T 2, and the third transistor T 3 may be referred to as a compensation transistor. For example, when the first scan signal SCAN 1 that turns on the third transistor T 3 is applied, a voltage obtained by subtracting the threshold voltage of the second transistor T 2 from the high voltage current signal EVDD may be applied to the gate electrode of the second transistor T 2. In a state where the high voltage current signal EVDD from which the threshold voltage is subtracted is applied to the gate electrode of the second transistor T 2, the data signal Vdata may be applied to the capacitor Cst. In this way, the threshold voltage of the second transistor T 2 may be compensated.The third transistor T 3 and the first transistor T 1 are illustrated as receiving different scan signals SCAN 1 and SCAN 2 through different scan lines, respectively. However, the third transistor T 3 and the first transistor T 1 may be connected to the same scan line and may receive the same scan signal SCAN 1 or SCAN 2, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.The fourth transistor T 4 may be electrically connected to the capacitor Cst and an initialization signal line supplying an initialization signal Vini. Further, the fourth transistor T 4 may be controlled by a light emission control signal EM supplied through a light emission control signal line. When the light emission control signal EM of an on-voltage level is applied through the light emission control signal line, the fourth transistor T 4 may initialize a voltage of the capacitor Cst. Alternatively, the fourth transistor T 4 may allow a current to flow into the light emitting element 130 in response to the data signal Vdata while slowly discharging the data signal Vdata applied to the capacitor Cst.The fifth transistor T 5 may be electrically connected between the second transistor T 2 and the light emitting element 130. Further, the fifth transistor T 5 may be controlled by the light emission control signal EM supplied through the light emission control signal line. When the data signal Vdata is applied to the capacitor Cst and the high voltage current signal EVDD having the compensated threshold voltage is applied to the gate electrode of the second transistor T 2, the light emission control signal EM of an on-level voltage may be applied. In this case, the fifth transistor T 5 may be turned on such that a current may flow into the light emitting element 130 connected to the low voltage power line EVSS.The sixth transistor T 6 may be electrically connected between the initialization signal line supplying the initialization signal Vini and an anode of the light emitting element 130. Further, the sixth transistor T 6 may be controlled by the first scan signal SCAN 1 supplied through the first scan line. When the first scan signal SCAN 1 of an on-level voltage is applied through the first scan line, the sixth transistor T 6 may use the initialization signal Vini to initialize the anode of the light emitting element 130. Alternatively, the sixth transistor T 6 may use the initialization signal Vini to initialize a node between the second transistor T 2 and the fifth transistor T 5.The capacitor Cst may be a storage capacitor Cst that is to apply a voltage to the gate electrode of the second transistor T 2 which is a driving transistor. Here, the capacitor Cst may be electrically connected between the gate electrode of the second transistor T 2 and the anode of the light emitting element 130. Therefore, the capacitor Cst can store a difference between a voltage of the gate electrode of the second transistor T 2 and a voltage applied to the anode of the light emitting element 130.In the above description, the pixel circuit of each of the plurality of subpixels SP is illustrated as including, for example, the first transistor to the sixth transistor T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4, T 5, and T 6 and the capacitor Cst. However, as described above, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.Hereinafter, the subpixel SP of the display device 100 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4.FIG. 3A is an enlarged plan view of a subpixel according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along a line III-III' of FIG. 3A.FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the subpixel according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 3A illustrates an example in which the subpixel has a hexagonal shape, but the present disclosure is not limited to the shape of the subpixel. FIG. 3B does not illustrate a lower structure below a cladding layer 113, and FIG. 4 illustrates a lower structure including a transistor 120 shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3B. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the lower structure illustrated in FIG. 4.For convenience of description, FIG. 3A illustrates only a first electrode 131 and a bank 114 among the components of the light emitting element 130. The bank 114 may be disposed on the first electrode 131 except for a region exposed by an opening OP. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 4 illustrates only one transistor 120 of the plurality of transistors T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4, T 5, and T 6 and the capacitor Cst of the pixel circuit of the subpixel.Referring to FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4, the display device according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may include a substrate 110, the transistor 120, the light emitting element 130, the overcoat layer 113, the bank 114, and a sealing member 150. The display device may be a top emission type display device, but is not limited thereto.Each of a plurality of subpixels is a unit that emits light, and the light emitting element 130 may be disposed in each of the plurality of subpixels. The plurality of subpixels may include first subpixels, second subpixels, and third subpixels that emit light of different colors. For example, the first sub-pixels may be blue sub-pixels, the second sub-pixels may be green sub-pixels, and the third sub-pixels may be red sub-pixels. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.A plurality of subpixels may be defined by the dam 114. That is, the bank 114 may be disposed so as to overlap the overcoat layer 113 and a part of the first electrode 131 of the light emitting element 130 in the plurality of sub-pixels. The substrate 110 is divided into an emission region EA and a non-emission region NEA. For example, in the non-emission region NEA, the bank 114 may be disposed on the first electrode 131 so as to block generation of light in the non-emission region NEA. Since the bank 114 is not disposed in the emission region EA, an organic layer 132 is directly disposed on the first electrode 131. Thus, light can be generated from the organic layer 132.The non-emission region NEA may be divided into a first non-emission region NEA 1 and a second non-emission region NEA 2.The first non-emission region NEA 1 refers to a region on a flat upper surface of the bank 114, and the second non-emission region NEA 2 refers to a region on an inclined upper surface of the bank 114. The second non-emission region NEA 2 may be positioned between the first non-emission region NEA 1 and the emission region EA.According to the present disclosure, at least one protrusion 140 is disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2. FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4 illustrate an example in which a protrusion 140 is disposed on a side surface of the bank 114 (that is, in the second non-emission region NEA 2), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may be disposed on both side surfaces of the bank 114 (that is, in the second non-emission region NEA 2), or two or more protrusions 140 may be disposed on at least one side surface of the bank 114.As illustrated in FIG. 3A, the protrusion 140 may be disposed to surround a part of the first electrode 131 of the subpixel. Alternatively, the protrusion 140 may be disposed at the edges of the first electrode 131 along the shape of the opening OP of the subpixel, but is not limited thereto. FIG. 3A illustrates an example in which the protrusion 140 is disposed only on a part of the edges of the first electrode 131 of the subpixel, but is not limited thereto. The protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may not be disposed on a part of the edges of the first electrode 131 of the subpixel for connection of a second electrode 133 between the adjacent subpixels. Hereinafter, the second electrode 133 is sometimes referred to as the cathode 133. Alternatively, at least a part of the protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may be disposed in the first non-emission region NEA 1 rather than the second non-emission region NEA 2. Alternatively, the protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may be disposed along edges of the opening OP, and at least one part is disposed in the first non-emission region NEA 1, and the other part is disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2, and the other part disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2 is longer than the at least one part of the protrusion disposed in the first non-emission region NEA 1.The protrusion 140 may be divided into a plurality of parts. That is, the protrusion 140 may be interrupted at a part of the edges of the first electrode 131 and may be divided into a plurality of parts. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.Further, the protrusion 140 may be disposed to partially overlap the first electrode 131 under the protrusion 140, but is not limited thereto.The protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may have a substantially trapezoidal shape in a cross-sectional view, but is not limited thereto. In this case, two angles θ 1 and θ 2 at the ends of the lower edge, that is, the lower base, may be acute or obtuse in a predetermined range. The protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may have various shapes in a cross-sectional view, such as a polygonal shape, for example, a triangular or rectangular shape, or a bell shape.The protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may act to suppress lateral leakage current occurring in, for example, a multi-stack structure. That is, the protrusion 140 of the present disclosure separates the organic layer 132 and the cathode 133 from each other between adjacent subpixels. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the multi-stack structure, and can be effectively applied to a case where a lateral leakage current occurs in a conventional organic light emitting diode display device.In order to suppress the influence of current leakage that occurs by using a common layer in an organic light emitting diode display device and occurs substantially due to a strong current path in a low gray area, a path of the current path may be increased or interrupted. The present disclosure is more effective in interrupting the current path.Specifically, according to the present disclosure, the protrusion 140 is disposed on an inclined side surface of the bank 114, that is, in the second non-emission region NEA 2. Therefore, it is possible to interrupt the organic layer 132 not only at an obtuse angle but also at an acute angle of 90° or less than a cone angle. Here, the taper angle (or tangential angle) refers to an angle between the substrate 110 and a tangent of the upper surface of the bank 114 on which the protrusion 140 is disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2.The protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may be formed of a material different from the dam 114, but is not limited thereto. The protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may be formed of the same material as the bank 114, and in this case, the protrusion 140 and the bank 114 may be formed in the same process.The protrusion 140 may be patterned together with the bank 114.The method for breaking the current path according to the present disclosure is performed under simple process conditions and has a high degree of freedom in selecting materials compared to a previous method using an etching rate difference.Referring to FIGS. 3B and 4, the substrate 110 is a support member for supporting the other components of the display device, and may be formed of an insulating material.For example, the substrate 110 may be formed of glass, resin, or the like. Also, the substrate 110 may be formed of a material including plastic such as a polymer or polyimide PI, or may be formed of a material including flexibility.A buffer layer 111 may be disposed on the substrate 110. The buffer layer 111 may suppress the penetration of moisture or contaminants through the substrate 110. The buffer layer 111 may be formed as a single layer of silicon oxide (SiOx) or silicon nitride (SiNx), or a multilayer layer of silicon oxide (SiOx) and silicon nitride (SiNx), but is not limited thereto. However, the buffer layer 111 may be omitted depending on the type of the substrate 110 or the type of the transistor, but is not limited thereto.The transistor 120 may be disposed on the buffer layer 111. The transistor 120 may include a gate electrode 121, an active layer 122, a source electrode 123, and a drain electrode 124.The transistor 120 illustrated in FIG. 4 has a structure in which the active layer 122 is disposed on the gate electrode 121, the source electrode 123 and the drain electrode 124 are disposed on the active layer 122. That is, the transistor has a bottom gate structure in which the gate electrode 121 is disposed as the lowermost layer, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.The gate electrode 121 may be disposed on the buffer layer 111.The gate electrode 121 may be formed of a conductive material such as, but not limited to, copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), or an alloy thereof.A gate insulating layer 112 may be disposed on the gate electrode 121.The gate insulating layer 112 is configured to isolate the active layer 122 from the gate electrode 121. The gate insulating layer 112 may be formed as a single layer of silicon oxide (SiOx) or silicon nitride (SiNx), or a multilayer of silicon oxide (SiOx) and silicon nitride (SiNx), but is not limited thereto.The active layer 122 may be formed on the gate insulating layer 112.The active layer 122 may be formed of a semiconductor material such as, but not limited to, an oxide semiconductor, amorphous silicon, or polysilicon. For example, when the active layer 122 is formed of oxide semiconductor, the active layer 122 is composed of a channel region, a source region, and a drain region. The source region and the drain region may be made conductive, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.An etching stopper 117 may be disposed on the active layer 122. When the source electrode 123 and the drain electrode 124 are formed by etching and patterning, the etching stopper 117 may serve to suppress plasma-caused damage to the surface of the active layer 122. One end of the etching stopper 117 may overlap the source electrode 123, and the other end of the etching stopper 117 may overlap the drain electrode 124. On the other hand, the etching stopper 117 may be omitted.The source electrode 123 and the drain electrode 124 may be disposed on the active layer 122 and the etching stopper 117. The source electrode 123 and the drain electrode 124 are spaced apart from each other and may be electrically connected to the active layer 122. The source electrode 123 and the drain electrode 124 may be formed of a conductive material such as, but not limited to, copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), or an alloy thereof.The overcoat layer 113 may be disposed on the transistor 120. The overcoat layer 113 is an insulating layer configured to flatten an upper portion of the substrate 110. The coating layer 113 may be formed of an organic material. The overcoat layer 113 may be formed as a single layer of, for example, polyimide or photoacryl, or a multilayer layer of polyimide and photoacryl, but is not limited thereto.A plurality of light emitting elements 130 may be arranged in a plurality of sub-pixels on the overcoat layer 113. Each light emitting element 130 may include the first electrode 131, the organic layer 132, and the second electrode 133. Although not illustrated in the drawings, the organic layer 132 may be composed of an emission layer disposed in the emission region EA and a common layer formed on the entire surface of the substrate 110 including the emission region EA and the non-emission region NEA.The first electrode 131 may be disposed on the coating layer 113.The first electrode 131 may be electrically connected to the transistor 120, and thus may be supplied with a driving current of the pixel circuit. The first electrode 131 may be formed of a conductive material having high leakage energy for supplying holes to the emission layer. The first electrode 131 may be formed of a light transmissive conductive material such as, but not limited to, indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO).The display device may be implemented as a top emission type or a bottom emission type. In the case of the top emission type display device, light emitted from the emission layer is reflected by the first electrode 131 in an upward direction, that is, toward the second electrode 133. For this purpose, a reflective layer made of a metal material having high reflection efficiency, such as aluminum Al or silver Ag, may be further disposed below the first electrode 131. In the case of the bottom emission type display device, the first electrode 131 may be formed of only a light transmissive conductive material. Hereinafter, descriptions will be made on the assumption that the display device of the present disclosure is a top emission display device.For example, the first electrode 131 may have a stack structure of two or more layers including a reflective layer.The organic layer 132 may be disposed between the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133.Electrons and holes supplied from the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133 are combined in the organic layer 132, thereby causing the organic layer 132 to emit light.Various organic light emitting element structures for improving the yield and lifetime and reducing the power consumption of an organic light emitting element have been proposed for improving the quality and productivity of an organic light emitting diode display device.Accordingly, an organic light emitting element adopting a single stack, that is, a single electroluminescence (EL) unit has been proposed. Also, a tandem organic light emitting element 130 adopting a plurality of stacks, that is, a stack of a plurality of EL units has been proposed for improving the yield and the lifetime. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the tandem structure. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the tandem structure will be described as an example.In the tandem structure, that is, the organic light emitting element 130 adopting a stack of a first EL unit and a second EL unit, an emission region in which light is emitted by recombination between electrons and holes is positioned in each of the first EL unit and the second EL unit. Further, light emitted from a first emission layer of the first EL unit and light emitted from a second emission layer of the second EL unit cause constructive interference. Thus, the tandem organic light emitting element 130 may provide a higher brightness than the organic light emitting element 130 adopting a single stack structure.The stacked structure may include, for example, a charge generation layer disposed between the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133. Further, the stack structure may include a first stack disposed between the charge generation layer and the first electrode 131, and a second stack structure disposed between the second electrode 133 and the charge generation layer. The charge generation layer may be disposed between the first stack and the second stack, and may generate charges. The charge generation layer may have a structure in which a p-type charge generation layer and an n-type charge generation layer are laminated. That is, the charge generation layer for generating positive charges and negative charges in both directions includes the p-type charge generation layer and the n-type charge generation layer. The charge generation layer may function substantially as an electrode.Each of the first stack and the second stack includes at least one emission layer and may include common layers on and below the emission layer.The distance between a plurality of subpixels consisting of a single pixel in the organic light emitting element 130 decreases as the resolution of the organic light emitting diode display device increases. Organic auxiliary layers such as a hole injection layer HIL, a hole transport layer HTL, a charge generating layer CGL, an electron injection layer EIL, and an electron transport layer ETL except an emission layer EML are disposed and formed using a common mask in a common layer corresponding to all of a plurality of subpixels. Emission layers within a plurality of subpixels generating light of different wavelengths may be individually arranged and formed using a fine metal mask corresponding to the respective subpixels.With respect to the organic light emitting element 130 as described above, when a voltage is applied between the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133, a lateral leakage current occurs in a horizontal direction of the organic light emitting element 130 through a common layer formed inside the organic light emitting element 130. Thus, color mixing caused by unwanted emission of a subpixel adjacent to a subpixel required to emit light occurs.Such color mixing can more strongly occur in the organic light emitting element 130 having a 2-stack structure in which the first EL unit and the second EL unit are laminated using constructive interference of light than in the organic light emitting element having a single stack structure.Accordingly, in the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4, the protrusion 140 is formed in the inclined second emission region NEA 2 of the bank 114. Thus, the organic layer 132 and the second electrode 133 are partially interrupted between adjacent subpixels. Therefore, particularly when a display device that is driven by a multi-stack structure, leakage current can be minimized.Referring again to FIGS. 3B and 4, the bank 114 may be disposed on the first electrode 131 and the plating layer 113. The bank 114 is an insulating layer arranged to divide a plurality of subpixels between the plurality of subpixels.The bank 114 may include an opening OP through which a part of the first electrode 131 is exposed. The bank 114 may be an organic insulating material disposed so as to cover an edge or a peripheral portion of the first electrode 131. The dam 114 may be formed of polyimide or acrylic or benzocyclobutene (BCB)-based resin, but is not limited thereto.A plurality of spacers may be disposed on the bank 114 in the first non-emission region NEA 1. That is, the spacers may be disposed on the flat upper surface of the bank 114 in the first non-emission region NEA 1. The spacers may be disposed in the first non-emission region NEA 1 on the bank 114 so as to maintain a predetermined distance from a deposition mask when the light emitting element 130 is formed. A predetermined distance between the bank 114 and the first electrode 131 among the spacers and the deposition mask may be maintained by the spacers. Also, the spacers can suppress damage caused by contact. Here, each of the plurality of spacers may be formed, for example, in a taper shape having a width increasing toward an upper side thereof to minimize a contact area with the deposition mask.The organic layer 132 is disposed on the first electrode 131. The organic layer 132 may include an emission layer disposed in each of a plurality of subpixels and a common layer disposed in common in the plurality of subpixels. The emission layer is an organic layer configured to emit light of a specific color. Different emission layers may be arranged in a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel, respectively. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Each of the subpixels may include a plurality of emission layers for emitting white light.The common layer is an organic layer configured to improve the emission yield of the emission layer. The common layer may be formed as a single layer across the plurality of sub-pixels. That is, the common layer in each of the plurality of sub-pixels may be connected to each other and may be integrally formed as one body. The common layer may include, but is not limited to, an HIL, an HTL, an EIL, a CGL, and the like.The second electrode 133 is disposed on the organic layer 132.The second electrode 133 is an electrode configured to supply electrons to the organic light emitting element 130 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The second electrode 133 may be formed of a material having a low output energy. The second electrode 133 may include a light transmissive conductive material. For example, the second electrode 133 may be formed of indium tin oxide (ITO), or indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), or the like. Alternatively, the second electrode 133 may include one selected from the group consisting of metal materials such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), magnesium (Mg), palladium (Pd), and copper (Cu), or alloys thereof. For example, the second electrode 133 may be formed of an alloy (Mg:Ag) of magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag). Alternatively, the second electrode 133 may include a stack of a layer formed of a light-transmissive conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), and a layer formed of a metal material such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), magnesium (Mg), palladium (Pd), or copper (Cu), or an alloy thereof, but is not limited thereto.Although not illustrated in the drawings, the second electrode 133 may be electrically connected to a low voltage power line, and thus may be supplied with a low voltage power signal.The sealing member 150 may be disposed on the second electrode 133. The sealing member 150 may be disposed on the bank 114 and the light emitting element 130. The sealing member 150 can suppress the penetration of oxygen and moisture from the outside into the display device. For example, when the display device is exposed to moisture or oxygen, pixel shrinkage in which the emission area EA is reduced may occur, or dark spots may appear in the emission area EA. Thus, the sealing member 150 blocks oxygen and moisture to protect the display device.The sealing element 150 may include a first encapsulation layer, a second encapsulation layer and a third encapsulation layer.The first encapsulation layer may be disposed on the second electrode 133 to suppress the ingress of moisture or oxygen. The first encapsulation layer may be formed of an inorganic material such as, but not limited to, silicon nitride (SiNx), silicon oxynitride (SiNxOy), or aluminum oxide (AlyOz).The second encapsulation layer may be arranged on the first encapsulation layer for flattening the surface of the first encapsulation layer. Likewise, the second encapsulation layer may cover foreign materials or particles that may be generated during a manufacturing process of the display device. The second encapsulation layer may be formed of an organic material such as, but not limited to, silicon oxy-carbon (SiOxZ) or acrylic- or epoxy-based resin.The third encapsulation layer may be disposed on the second encapsulation layer, like the first encapsulation layer, for suppressing the ingress of moisture or oxygen. The third encapsulation layer may be formed of an inorganic material such as, but not limited to, silicon nitride (SiNx), silicon oxynitride (SiNxOy), silicon oxide (SiOx), or aluminum oxide (AlyOz)As described above, a common layer of a plurality of light emitting elements 130 may be formed as a single layer across a plurality of subpixels. Since the light emitting elements 130 of the plurality of sub-pixels share the common layer, when the light emitting element 130 of a specific sub-pixel emits light, a current may flow to the light emitting element 130 of an adjacent sub-pixel. That is, current leakage may occur. The current leakage causes the light emitting element 130 of an unintentional subpixel to emit light, which may result in color mixing between the plurality of subpixels and an increase in power consumption. Also, an abnormal color, Mura, and the like may be observed due to leakage current, which may degrade display quality. For example, when only the first subpixel of the plurality of subpixels emits light, a portion of the current supplied to drive the light emitting element 130 of the first subpixel may leak to the second subpixel and / or the third subpixel adjacent thereto through the common layer.In the display device according to the present disclosure, the protrusion 140 is formed in the second non-emission region NEA 2, that is, an inclined side surface of the bank 114, as described above. Thus, current leakage through the common layer of the light emitting element can be minimized. First, the protrusion 140 is formed on the inclined side surface of the bank 114, and the organic layer 132 and the second electrode 133 are disposed on the protrusion 140. Therefore, the length of a leakage flow path may increase. Since the common layer of the organic layer 132 acting as a lateral leakage current flow path is formed over the protrusion 140 protruding from the bank 114, a leakage current flow path may be extended regardless of whether or not the organic layer 132 is interrupted. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce leakage current flowing to the light emitting element 130 of an adjacent subpixel. The organic layer 132 is divided into a first organic layer disposed at the opening OP and a second organic layer disposed from the first non-emission region NEA 1 of the bank 114 to an upper portion of the protrusion 140. Here, an end of the second organic layer is disposed at a distance from the first organic layer on a side surface of the protrusion 140.Also, in the display device according to the present disclosure, the protrusion 140 is disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2, that is, the inclined side surface of the bank 114. Thus, the organic layer 132 and the second electrode 133 may be at least partially interrupted between adjacent subpixels. Accordingly, it is possible to minimize a leakage current flowing to an adjacent subpixel.FIGS. 3B and 4 illustrate an example in which the organic layer 132 and the second electrode 133 are separated from each other on the right side of the protrusion 140, that is, between the emission region EA and the second non-emission region NEA 2. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The organic layer 132 and the second electrode 133 may be separated from each other on the left side as well as on the right side of the protrusion 140 depending on the degree of the left side angle θ 2 at the lower base.Such an interruption structure between the organic layer 132 and the second electrode 133 may be formed on at least one side surface of the protrusion 140. Since the protrusion 140 is disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2, that is, the inclined side surface of the bank 114, the degree of the right side angle θ 1 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 with respect to a horizontal plane can be substantially increased. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5.FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an angle range of a protrusion according to the present disclosureFIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the protrusion 140, for example, a center portion of the protrusion 140, according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure and as illustrated in FIG. 3B.Referring to FIG. 5, the right side angle θ 1 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may have an acute angle greater than 90°- α for having the breaking structure. Also, the left side angle θ 2 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 may have an acute angle.In this case, the protrusion 140 may be formed of an organic material or an inorganic material.Further, the protrusion 140 may be formed of a metal material. When the protrusion 140 is formed of a metal, it is possible to completely block a lateral leakage current by discharge (or ground) in an initialization timing period.Here, α refers to the angle between the upper surface of the bank 114 on which the protrusion 140 is disposed and a horizontal line. That is, α refers to the angle between the substrate 110 and a tangent of the upper surface of the bank 114 on which the protrusion 140 is disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2. Here, the horizontal line may be in the same direction as a deposition direction of the organic layer 132.Also, β refers to the angle between the upper surface of the bank 114 on which the protrusion 140 is disposed and a vertical line.Furthermore, γ 1 and γ 2 are illustrated as examples of the right side angle θ 1 at the lower base of the protrusion 140.When the right side angle θ 1 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 approaches a right angle (90°), it is more advantageous for the cut structure regardless of a taper angle of the bank 114. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The right side angle θ 1 at the end of the lower base of the protrusion 140 may also be 90°.Since α has a value equal to 90° - β, the right side angle θ1 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 needs to have an acute angle larger than β. This is because, when the right side angle θ 1 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 is equal to the angle formed with the horizontal angle, the organic layer 132 and the cathode 133 may also be disposed on a side surface of the protrusion 140. However, the right side angle θ 1 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 needs to have an acute angle that is significantly larger than β in consideration of diffraction and interference regions during deposition of the organic layer 132.Further, the right side angle θ 1 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 of the present disclosure may have an obtuse angle smaller than 120°. When the right side angle θ 1 at the lower base is 120° or more, the protrusion 140 may collapse due to a large difference in length between the upper base and the lower base. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. A range of the obtuse angle may vary depending on the height of the protrusion 140 or a critical dimension CD. The left side angle θ 2 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 may also have an obtuse angle.In this case, the protrusion 140 may be formed of an organic material such as a chemically amplified resist (CAR)-based negative photoresist (PR) forming a cross-link.Here, when the angles θ 1 and θ 2 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 of the present disclosure have acute angles and at least a part of the protrusion 140 is disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2, the cut-off structure may be formed. When the angles θ 1 and θ 2 at the lower base of the protrusion 140 are obtuse angles, the cut-off structure may be formed in any region.Also, even when the protrusion 140 of the present disclosure is disposed in the second non-emission region NEA 2, it is possible to achieve more stable workability in a region where the tangent angle of the cone of the bank 114 is 45° or less than in a region where the tangent angle is 45° to 90°.Here, a protrusion of the present disclosure may be disposed on both side surfaces of a dam as described above. This will be described in detail according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 6A is an enlarged plan view of a subpixel according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view taken along a line VI-VI' of FIG. 6A.The second exemplary embodiment of the foregoing disclosure illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B has substantially the same configuration as the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure except that protrusions 240A and 240B are disposed on both side surfaces of the bank 114, that is, on both edges of the opening OP, and thus an organic layer 232 and a cathode 233 are interrupted on both edges of the opening OP. Hereinafter, the cathode 233 is sometimes referred to as the second electrode 233. Thus, repeated description will be omitted.FIG. 6A illustrates an example in which the subpixel has a hexagonal shape, but the present disclosure is not limited to the shape of the subpixel. For convenience of description, FIG. 6B does not illustrate a lower structure below the overcoat layer 113.For convenience of description, FIG. 6A illustrates only a first electrode 231 and the bank 114 among the components of a light emitting element 230. Hereinafter, the first electrode 231 is sometimes referred to as the anode 231. The bank 114 may be disposed in any region other than a region exposed by the opening OP.Referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B, in a display device according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the protrusions 240 aand 240 bmay be disposed on the both side surfaces of the bank 114 (that is, both edges of the opening OP).Two or more protrusions 240 aand 240 bmay be disposed on the both side surfaces of the bank 114.As illustrated in FIG. 6A, the protrusions 240 aand 240 bmay be disposed so as to surround a part of the first electrode 231 of the subpixel. Alternatively, the protrusions 240 aand 240 bmay be disposed at the edges of the first electrode 231 along the shape of the opening OP of the subpixel, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.The protrusions 240 aand 240 bare separated from each other as a first protrusion 240 aand a second protrusion 240 b, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The first protrusion 240 aand the second protrusion 240 bmay extend so as to be connected to each other at an upper or lower portion. The first protrusion 240 aand the second protrusion 240 bmay be arranged at edges of the first electrode 231 of the subpixel so as to form a connection between the second electrodes 233 between adjacent subpixels. Alternatively, the protrusions 240 aand 240 bof the present disclosure may be at least partially disposed in a first non-emission region rather than a second non-emission region.Furthermore, the protrusions 240 aand 240 bmay be disposed so as to partially overlap the first electrode 231 among the protrusions 240 aand 240 b, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.Each of the protrusions 240 aand 240 bof the present disclosure may have a substantially trapezoidal shape in a cross-sectional view, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In this case, two angles at the ends of the lower base may be acute or obtuse in a predetermined range. Each of the protrusions 240 aand 240 bof the present disclosure may have various shapes in a cross-sectional view, such as a polygonal shape, for example, a triangular or rectangular shape, or a bell shape.The protrusions 240 aand 240 bof the present disclosure may be formed of a material different from the dam 114, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The protrusions 240 aand 240 bof the present disclosure may be formed of the same material as the bank 114, and in this case, the protrusions 240 aand 240 band the bank 114 may be formed in the same process.The protrusions 240 aand 240 bmay be patterned together with the bank 114.Here, in the second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the protrusions 240 aand 240 bare formed on the two inclined side surfaces of the bank 114. The organic layer 232 and the second electrode 233 disposed on the first electrode 231 may be separated from each other at the both inclined side surfaces of the bank 114. Therefore, in the second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, current leakage can be more effectively minimized than in the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Also, when the protrusions 240 aand 240 bare symmetrically disposed at a left edge and a right edge of the opening OP, a viewing angle can be improved.As described above, a protrusion of the present disclosure may be arranged to surround a first electrode of a subpixel and at least partially overlap a first non-emission region rather than a second non-emission region. This will be described in detail according to a third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 7A is an enlarged plan view of a subpixel according to the third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view taken along a line VIIa-VIIa' of FIG. 7A.FIG. 7C is a cross-sectional view taken along a line VIIb-VIIb' of FIG. 7A.The third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure illustrated in FIGS. 7A to 7C has substantially the same configuration as the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure except that a protrusion 340 is disposed so as to surround the first electrode 231 of the subpixel and is disposed at least partially in the first non-emission region NEA 1 rather than the second non-emission region NEA 2. Thus, repeated description will be omitted.FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view of a left portion and a right portion of the subpixel taken along line VIIa-VIIa' of FIG. 7A. FIG. 7C is a cross-sectional view of a lower portion of the subpixel taken along line VIIb-VIIb' of FIG. 7A.FIG. 7B illustrates a cross-sectional view of the second non-emission region NEA 2 and the emission region EA, and FIG. 7C illustrates a cross-sectional view of the first non-emission region NEA 1 and the second non-emission region NEA 2 and the emission region EA.FIG. 7A illustrates an example in which the subpixel has a hexagonal shape, but the present disclosure is not limited to the shape of the subpixel. For convenience of description, FIGS. 7B and 7C do not illustrate a lower structure below the overcoat layer 113.For convenience of description, FIG. 7A illustrates only the anode 231 and the bank 140 among the components of a light emitting element 230. The bank 114 may be disposed in any region other than a region exposed by the opening OP.Referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, in a display device according to the third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the protrusion 340 may be disposed at the edges of the opening OP of the bank 114.Here, the protrusion 340 may be disposed so as to surround the entire periphery of the first electrode 231 of the subpixel. Alternatively, the protrusion 340 may be disposed at the edges of the first electrode 231 along the shape of the opening OP of the subpixel, but is not limited thereto.In the third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the protrusion 340 is disposed so as to surround the entire periphery of the first electrode 231 of the subpixel. Thus, the organic layer 232 and the second electrode 233 disposed on the first electrode 231 may be separated from each other at at least an upper portion and at a left edge and a right edge of the opening OP.

This will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.FIGS. 13A to 13D are cross-sectional views sequentially illustrating a manufacturing process of a part of a display device according to the third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.For convenience of explanation, description will be made with omission of a lower structure below the overcoat layer 113.Referring to FIG. 13A, the overcoat layer 113 is formed on a substrate including a plurality of transistors and a capacitor.The overcoat layer 113 is an insulating layer configured to flatten an upper portion of the substrate. The overcoat layer 113 may be formed of an organic material. The overcoat layer 113 may be formed as a single layer of, for example, polyimide or photoacryl, or a multilayer of polyimide and photoacryl, but is not limited thereto.The overcoat layer 113 may be formed to a thickness of about 2 μm, but is not limited thereto.A plurality of light emitting elements may be formed in a plurality of subpixels on the overcoat layer 113. Each light emitting element may include the first electrode 231, an organic layer, and a second electrode.First, the first electrode 231 is formed on the overcoat layer 113.The first electrode 231 may be electrically connected to a transistor, and thus may be supplied with a driving current from a pixel circuit. The first electrode 231 may be formed to supply holes to an emission layer of a conductive material having high leakage energy. The first electrode 231 may be formed of a light transmissive conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO), but is not limited thereto.The display device may be implemented as a top emission type or a bottom emission type. Further, in the case of the top emission type display device, a reflective layer formed of a metal material having high reflection efficiency, such as aluminum Al or silver Ag, may be disposed below the first electrode 231. In the case of the bottom emission type display device, the first electrode 231 may be formed of only a light transmissive conductive material. Hereinafter, the description will be made on the assumption that the display device of the present disclosure is a top emission display device.For example, the first electrode 231 may have a stack structure of two or more layers including a reflective layer.The first electrode 231 may be formed to a thickness of about 0.1 μm, but is not limited thereto.Then, referring to FIG. 13B, the bank 114 and a spacer 360 are formed on the substrate on which the first electrode 231 has been formed.The bank 114 and the spacer 360 may be formed in the same mask process and in different mask processes, respectively.The bank 114 may include the opening OP through which a part of the first electrode 231 is exposed. The bank 114 may be an organic insulating material disposed so as to cover an edge or a peripheral portion of the first electrode 231. The dam 114 may be formed of polyimide or acrylic or benzocyclobutene (BCB)-based resin, but is not limited thereto.The spacer 360 may be formed on the flat top surface of the bank 114, that is, on a first non-emission region. The spacer 360 may be disposed on the bank 114 so as to maintain a predetermined distance from a deposition mask when a light emitting element is formed. A predetermined distance between the bank 114 and the first electrode 231 under the spacer 360 and the deposition mask may be maintained by the spacer 360. Also, the spacer 360 can suppress damage caused by a contact. Here, each of a plurality of spacers 360 for minimizing a contact area with the deposition mask may be formed, for example, in a taper shape having a width decreasing toward an upper side thereof.The bank 114 and the spacer 360 may be formed to a thickness of, but are not limited to, 1 μm to 2 μm and 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, respectively.Then, referring to FIG. 13C, a photoreactive organic material is applied to the entire surface of the substrate.The photoreactive organic material may include a photoresist PR.Here, a positive type PR may be used. In this case, a protrusion having a normal taper shape may be formed.The PR may be applied to a thickness of 0.5 μm or less, but is not limited thereto.Then, for forming the protrusion 340, exposure and development are performed on a side surface of the bank 114, that is, in a second non-emission region, using a predetermined mask 390.Here, since the positive type PR is used, a blocking portion of the mask 390 can be positioned corresponding to the protrusion 340 to be formed.The protrusion 340 may have a substantially trapezoidal shape in a cross-sectional view, but is not limited thereto.

Thus, the protrusion 340 is formed on a side surface of the bank 114, that is, in a second non-emission region.Here, when the first layer is formed of an inorganic material, a BOE may be used as an etchant.The protrusion 340 may have a substantially trapezoidal shape in a cross-sectional view, but is not limited thereto.

In this case, a protrusion having an inverted taper shape may be formed.Then, referring to FIG. 17D, a predetermined mask 690 may be disposed over the substrate on which the first layer 670 and the second layer 680 have been formed.Thereafter, the second layer is selectively exposed through the mask such that a first PR pattern 680' and a second PR pattern 680" formed from the second layer are formed.Since the negative type PR is used, the unexposed first PR pattern 680' can be removed by a developing solution.Then, referring to FIG. 17E, the first layer in a lower portion thereof is selectively etched using the second PR pattern 680" remaining without being removed by the etching solution as a mask. Thus, the protrusion 640 is formed on a side surface of the bank 114, that is, in a second non-emission region.The protrusion 640 may have a substantially trapezoidal shape in a cross-sectional view, but is not limited thereto. The protrusion 640 of the present disclosure may have various shapes in a cross-sectional view, such as a polygonal shape, for example, a triangular or rectangular shape, or a bell shape.The protrusion 640 may have an inverted cone shape, i.e., obtuse angles at the ends of the lower base.

The dummy pattern 1440 may function to discharge a voltage during an initial period.FIG. 30 illustrates substantially the same configuration as that in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 24, except that a protrusion 1540 aand a protrusion 1540 bare formed twice.
