Abstract
Abstract A display device has a relatively large insulation substrate on which a metal layer is formed. On the metal layer on the insulation substrate, there are at least one pair of ceramic unit substrates which are disposed in close vicinity to each other, respectively having thereon metal layers bearing light emitting diodes. The metal layer on the insulation substrate is connected with the metal layers on the unit substrates at its end portions by means of, e.g., flexible lead frames.
