A display device and a method of manufacturing a display device are provided. A display device includes: a substrate; a switching element on the substrate; a first insulating layer on the switching element; a first alignment electrode and a second alignment electrode disposed on the first insulating layer so as to face each other; a second insulating layer on the first alignment electrode and the second alignment electrode; a first driving electrode on the second insulating layer and connected to the switching element; a second driving electrode disposed on the second insulating layer so as to face the first driving electrode; and a light emitting element between the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode, and a distance between the first alignment electrode and the second alignment electrode is less than a distance between the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode.
