Abstract

An organic EL display device includes lower electrodes each provided for each of pixels, a bank layer formed so as to cover the peripheries of the lower electrodes and including bank openings through each of which a portion of the lower electrode is exposed, a light-emitting layer, an organic layer including portions each formed in the bank opening, a first barrier layer covering the organic layer, a second barrier layer covering the first barrier layer, an intermediate layer located at the edges of the bank openings, and light reflection films each provided under the lower electrode for each of the pixels. A first region where the intermediate layer is present when the pixel is viewed in a plan view includes, above or under the intermediate layer, a different layer structure from that of a second region inside the first region.

Claims (27)

1. An organic EL display device comprising:

lower electrodes each provided for each of pixels;

a bank layer formed so as to cover the peripheries of the lower electrodes and including bank openings through each of which a portion of the lower electrode is exposed;

an organic layer including a light-emitting layer and portions each formed in the bank opening;

a first barrier layer covering the organic layer;

a second barrier layer covering the first barrier layer;

an intermediate layer formed between the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer, formed of a different material from those of the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer, and located at the edges of the bank openings;

a first light reflection film and a second light reflection film are provided under the lower electrode for each of the pixels,

a conductive film under the lower electrode,

a first region where the intermediate layer is located when the pixel is viewed in a plan view; and

a second region located inside the first region, wherein

the first light reflection film, the conductive film, the second light reflection film, the lower electrode, and the organic layer are formed in this order, and

one of the first region and the second region includes the second light reflection film, while the other includes the first light reflection film and does not include the second light reflection film,

a distance from the organic layer to the first light reflection film in the first region is different from a distance from the organic layer to the second light reflection film in the second region.

2. An organic EL display device comprising:

lower electrodes each provided for each of pixels;

a bank layer formed so as to cover the peripheries of the lower electrodes and including bank openings through each of which a portion of the lower electrode is exposed;

an organic layer including a light-emitting layer and portions each formed in the bank opening;

a first barrier layer covering the organic layer;

a second barrier layer covering the first barrier layer;

an intermediate layer formed between the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer, formed of a different material from those of the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer, and located at the edges of the bank openings;

light reflection films each provided under the lower electrode for each of the pixels;

a conductive film above the lower electrode,

a first region where the intermediate layer is located when the pixel is viewed in a plan view; and

a second region located inside the first region, wherein

the light reflection film, the lower electrode, the conductive film, and the organic layer are formed in this order, and

one of the first region and the second region includes both the lower electrode and the conductive film, while the other includes the lower electrode and does not include the conductive film, a distance from the organic layer to the light reflection film in the first region is different from a distance from the organic layer to the light reflection film in the second region.
