1. A display device, comprising:
a substrate comprising a display area and a peripheral area disposed outside of the display area;
a plurality of display elements and a plurality of pixel-circuits on the display area, the plurality of pixel-circuits includes a first pixel-circuit and a second pixel-circuit disposed adjacent to each other in a first direction;
an inorganic insulating layer disposed in the display area, wherein the inorganic insulating layer comprises a groove disposed in a region between the first pixel-circuit and the second pixel-circuit; and
a first vertical connection wiring disposed over the inorganic insulating layer and extending in the first direction across the groove,
wherein a semiconductor layer of the first pixel-circuit is spaced apart from a semiconductor layer of the second pixel-circuit by the groove, and the semiconductor layer of the first pixel-circuit is connected to the semiconductor layer of the second pixel-circuit by the first vertical connection wiring,
wherein the groove surrounds at least some of the plurality of pixel-circuits.
