Abstract
The organic electroluminescence display device of an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate, a plurality of pixels formed on the substrate, and a sealing film that covers the plurality of pixels. The sealing film includes a first barrier layer, a base layer covering the top surface of the first barrier layer, an inter layer locally formed on the top surface of the base layer, and a second barrier layer covering the top surface of the base layer and the top surface of the inter layer. The inter layer is formed so as to cover a step on the top surface of the base layer.
Claims3
A display device comprising:
- an insulating substrate;
- a circuit layer disposed on the insulating substrate;
- an anode disposed on the circuit layer;
- a pixel isolation film formed on the anode;
- an organic layer having light emitting element disposed on the pixel isolation film;
- a cathode covering the organic layer;
- and
- a sealing film covering the cathode,
- wherein
- the circuit layer includes a thin film transistor and a passivation film covering the thin film transistor,
- the pixel isolation film covers an edge portion of the anode and has a contact hole exposing a part of the anode,
- the organic layer is in contact with the anode through the contact hole,
