Abstract

An organic electroluminescence display device includes: a lower electrode that is made of a conductive inorganic material and formed in each of pixels arranged in a matrix in a display area; a light-emitting organic layer that is in contact with the lower electrode and made of a plurality of different organic material layers including a light-emitting layer emitting light; an upper electrode that is in contact with the light-emitting organic layer, formed so as to cover the whole of the display area, and made of a conductive inorganic material; and a conductive organic layer that is in contact with the upper electrode, formed so as to cover the whole of the display area, and made of a conductive organic material.

Claims (29)

1. An organic electroluminescence display device comprising:

a lower electrode that is made of a conductive inorganic material and formed in each of sub-pixels arranged in a matrix in a display area;

a light-emitting organic layer that is in contact with the lower electrode and made of a plurality of different organic material layers including a light-emitting layer emitting light;

an upper electrode that is in contact with the light-emitting organic layer, formed so as to cover the whole of the display area, and made of a conductive inorganic material;

a conductive organic layer that is in contact with the upper electrode, formed so as to cover the whole of the display area, and made of a conductive organic material; and

a conductive inorganic film that is in contact with a surface of the conductive organic layer on the side opposite to a surface thereof on which the upper electrode is formed, formed to cover the whole of the display area, and made of a conductive inorganic material.

2. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the conductive organic layer is formed on the inside of the upper electrode in a plan view.

3. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 1 , further comprising, on the conductive organic layer, a sealing film that covers the outsides of the conductive organic layer and the upper electrode in the plan view and is made of an inorganic material.

4. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the conductive organic layer planarizes irregularities of the upper electrode.
