Abstract

A display device which can suppress waveform distortion and lowered transmission coefficient of pixels, and suppress display irregularity is provided. In a display device having pixels arranged in a delta arrangement, a pixel includes a pixel portion which comprises a TFT including a source electrode, a drain electrode and a gate electrode, a common electrode and a pixel electrode, an organic passivation film has asymmetrical opening portions above a contact portion of the source electrode, and the orientations of the asymmetrical opening portions in the organic passivation films of pixels adjacent to each other are the same.

Claims (20)

1. A display device comprising:

a display area including a plurality of pixels; and

a driver which provides a signal for indicating an image in the display area, wherein:

each of the plurality of pixels includes a common electrode, a pixel electrode and a TFT including a source electrode, a drain electrode and a gate electrode;

the common electrode and the pixel electrode are disposed on a multilayer film including an inorganic passivation film and an organic passivation film disposed above the source electrode of the TFT;

the organic passivation film has an asymmetrical opening portion above a contact portion of the source electrode;

a through hole disposed above the contact portion of the source electrode and inside the asymmetrical opening portion of the organic passivation film is provided in the multilayer film including the inorganic passivation film and the organic passivation film, wherein the source electrode and the pixel electrode are electrically connected via the through hole; and

the orientations of the asymmetrical opening portions of the organic passivation films of the pixels which are adjacent to each other and to which the drain electrode of the TFT is connected are the same.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the through holes provided in the multilayer film comprising the inorganic passivation film and the organic passivation film are disposed at the further end of the pixel with respect to a drain signal line which connects the drain electrodes.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

A scanning line which connects the gate electrodes of the TFT provided in the plurality of pixels is a straight line, and

a video signal line which connects the drain electrodes is bent between the pixels disposed in a delta arrangement.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the asymmetrical opening portions of the organic passivation film are home plate-shaped opening portions.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

two scanning lines are formed between the pixels adjacent to each other.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the shape of the TFT which is present in each of the pixels adjacent to each other and the shape of the pixel electrodes are symmetrical with respect to the two scanning lines, and

the asymmetrical opening portions which are present in each of the pixels adjacent to each other are asymmetrical with respect to the two scanning lines.
