Abstract

According to one embodiment, a manufacturing method of a display device includes preparing a processing substrate, forming an organic layer, forming an upper electrode, forming a first transparent layer, and forming a second transparent layer. In a deposition process, an evaporation source emits a material to the processing substrate and a film thickness measurement device, and the film thickness measurement device applies an acoustic impedance correction value which differs depending on a frequency of a crystal oscillator, and measures an evaporation rate based on an amount of change in the frequency of the crystal oscillator, and a controller controls the evaporation source such that the evaporation rate becomes constant.

Claims (38)

1 . A manufacturing method of a display device, comprising:

preparing a processing substrate by forming a lower electrode above a substrate, forming a rib comprising an aperture which overlaps the lower electrode, and forming a partition including a lower portion located on the rib and an upper portion which is located on the lower portion and protrudes from a side surface of the lower portion;

forming an organic layer on the lower electrode in the aperture;

forming an upper electrode on the organic layer;

forming a first transparent layer on the upper electrode; and

forming a second transparent layer having a refractive index which is lower than a refractive index of the first transparent layer on the first transparent layer, wherein

a process of forming the organic layer, the upper electrode, the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer is a deposition process using the partition as a mask, and

in the deposition process of forming at least one of the organic layer, the upper electrode, the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer,

an evaporation source emits a material to the processing substrate and a film thickness measurement device,

2 . The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the evaporation source emits an organic material for forming the second transparent layer.

3 . The manufacturing method of claim 2 , wherein

the second transparent layer is formed by depositing the organic material while conveying the processing substrate in which the first transparent layer is formed along a conveyance path on a side opposite to the film thickness measurement device across the intervening evaporation source.

4 . The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the organic layer, the upper electrode, the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer formed immediately above the upper portion of the partition are spaced apart from the organic layer, the upper electrode, the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer formed immediately above the lower electrode in the aperture.
