Abstract
According to one embodiment, a manufacturing method of a display device includes preparing a processing substrate by forming a lower electrode, forming a rib, and forming a partition including a lower portion and an upper portion, forming an organic layer on the lower electrode, forming an upper electrode on the organic layer, forming a first transparent layer on the upper electrode, and forming a second transparent layer on the first transparent layer. The first transparent layer and the second transparent layer are formed of organic materials different from each other. A refractive index of the second transparent layer is less than a refractive index of the first transparent layer.
Claims20
A manufacturing method of a display device, comprising:
- preparing a processing substrate by
- forming a first lower electrode and a second lower electrode above a substrate,
- forming a rib on the first lower electrode and the second lower electrode, the rib being formed of a first inorganic insulating material and including a first aperture overlapping the first lower electrode and a second aperture overlapping the second lower electrode, and
- forming a partition on the rib, the partition including
- a lower portion on the rib and between the first aperture and the second aperture, and
- an upper portion on the lower portion and extending beyond a side surface of the lower portion;
- forming a first organic layer on the rib and the partition, the first organic layer including a first light-emitting layer and being in contact with the first lower electrode at the first aperture;
- forming a first upper electrode on the first organic layer;
- forming a first transparent layer on the first upper electrode, the first transparent layer being formed of a first organic material;
- forming a second transparent layer on the first transparent layer, the second transparent layer being formed of a second organic material different from the first organic material;
- forming a first sealing layer on the second transparent layer, the first sealing layer being formed of a second inorganic insulating material;
- forming a first patterned resist on the first sealing layer, the first patterned resist covering a first portion of the first sealing layer above the first lower electrode and a second portion of the first sealing layer above a first part of the upper portion of the partition, and the first patterned resist exposing a third portion of the first sealing layer above the second lower electrode and a fourth portion of the first sealing layer above a second part of the upper portion of the partition;
- removing the third portion of the first sealing layer to expose a portion of the second transparent layer by a first dry etching;
- removing the portion of the second transparent layer to expose a portion of the first transparent layer by a second dry etching using an oxygen plasma;
- removing the portion of the first transparent layer to expose a portion of the first upper electrode by the second dry etching;
- removing the portion of the first upper electrode to expose a portion of the first organic layer by a first wet etching;
- removing the portion of the first organic layer by a third dry etching using the oxygen plasma, and
- removing the first patterned resist.
