Abstract
A display device includes: an underlayer, a first insulating film contacting an upper face of the underlayer, a semiconductor layer, a second insulating film, a first metal layer, a first resin layer, a first electrode, and a second resin layer, in order from a lower layer, wherein at least one of the underlayer, the first resin layer, and the second resin layer is a thin film layer having a maximum film thickness in a display region provided with a light-emitting element being thicker than a maximum film thickness in a frame region surrounding the display region.
Claims13
A display device comprising:
- an underlayer, a first insulating film contacting an upper face of the underlayer, a semiconductor layer, a second insulating film, a first metal layer, a first resin layer, a first electrode, and a second resin layer, which are formed in order from bottom to top,
- wherein any one of the underlayer, the first resin layer, and the second resin layer is a thin film layer having a first maximum film thickness in a display region that is thicker than a second maximum film thickness of a corresponding one of the underlayer, the first resin layer, and the second resin layer in a frame region, and the frame region surrounds the display region, and
- wherein the underlayer includes a resin layer, and the display region is provided with a light-emitting element.
