Abstract

A display unit comprising an organic layer between a light-emitting section portion of a first electrode layer and a light-emitting section portion of a second electrode layer. Light is emissible from within the organic layer. An aperture-defining insulating film is between a contact section of the first electrode layer and a gap section portion of the second electrode layer. The thickness of the gap section portion of the second electrode layer is greater than the thickness of the light-emitting section portion of the second electrode layer.

Claims (35)

1. A display unit comprising:

an aperture-defining insulating film between a first conductive layer and a first electrode, the first electrode and the first conductive layer touching the aperture-defining insulating film;

a second conductive layer between the first conductive layer and a protective film, the protective film and the first conductive layer touching the second conductive layer,

wherein the first conductive layer is between the aperture-defining insulating film and the second conductive layer, and a volume resistivity of the second conductive layer is lower than a volume resistivity of the first conductive layer.

2. A display unit according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an organic layer between the first electrode and the first conductive layer, the first conductive layer extending from the organic layer to the aperture-defining insulating film.

3. A display unit according to claim 2 , wherein the organic layer touches the aperture-defining insulating film.

4. A display unit according to claim 2 , wherein the first electrode and the first conductive layer touch the organic layer.

5. A display unit according to claim 2 , wherein light is emissible from within the organic layer.

6. A display unit according to claim 2 , wherein the organic layer comprises:

a hole transportation layer between a hole injection layer and a luminescent layer, the luminescent layer being between an electron transportation layer and the hole transportation layer.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the display unit according to claim 2 ;

a housing, the display unit being in the housing.

8. A display unit according to claim 1 , further comprising:

wiring electrically connected to a contact section of the first electrode, the contact section of the first electrode being between the aperture-defining insulating film and the wiring.

9. A display unit according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a gate insulating film between a metallic layer and a channel layer, the channel layer touching the wiring.

10. A display unit according to claim 9 , wherein the gate insulating film touches the metallic layer and the channel layer.

11. A display unit according to claim 9 , wherein the channel layer is a semiconductor thin film.

12. A display unit according to claim 9 , wherein the channel layer is silicon.

13. A display unit according to claim 9 , wherein the channel layer is amorphous silicon.

14. A display unit according to claim 9 , further comprising:

an insulating channel protective film between a source electrode and a drain electrode, the channel layer being between the gate insulating film and the insulating channel protective film.

15. A display unit according to claim 14 , wherein the wiring touches the source electrode and the channel layer, and the channel layer touches the source electrode and the drain electrode.

16. A display unit according to claim 14 , wherein the source electrode and the drain electrode are silicon.
