Abstract

An insulating layer is disposed in areas between pixel electrodes adjacent to each other so as to rest on peripheries of the pixel electrodes. An organic layer is disposed to include a common layer that continuously covers the pixel electrodes and the insulating layer. A common electrode is disposed on the organic layer. A sealing layer conducts sealing to cover the organic layer and the common electrode. The pixel electrodes have depressed portions whose upper surfaces are recessed on ends including the peripheries of the pixel electrodes. The common layer has depressed portions whose upper surfaces are recessed in correspondence with the depressed portions of the pixel electrodes. The common electrode has depressed portions whose upper surfaces are recessed in correspondence with the depressed portions of the common layer. The sealing layer is curved in correspondence with the depressed portions of the common electrode.

Claims (40)

1. An organic electroluminescent display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of pixel electrodes that are disposed on the substrate;

an insulating layer that is disposed in areas between the respective pixel electrodes adjacent to each other so as to rest on at least peripheries of the respective pixel electrodes;

an organic layer that is disposed with the inclusion of a common layer that continuously covers the plurality of pixel electrodes and the insulating layer;

a common electrode that is disposed on the organic layer; and

a sealing layer that is disposed to cover the organic layer and the common electrode,

wherein each of the respective pixel electrodes has a depressed portion whose upper surface is recessed on an end of the periphery thereof,

wherein the insulating layer has depressed portions whose upper surfaces are recessed by resting on the depressed portions of the respective pixel electrodes, and

wherein the common layer has depressed portions whose upper surfaces are recessed in correspondence with the depressed portions of the insulating layer.

2. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a wiring layer that is disposed below the respective pixel electrodes,

wherein at least a part of the depressed portions of the respective pixel electrodes is electrically connected to the wiring layer.

3. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the common electrode has depressed portions whose upper surfaces are recessed in correspondence with the depressed portions of the common layer.

4. The organic electroluminescent display device according to claim 3 ,
