Abstract

Provide is a display device that prevents adverse effects on pixel circuits, resulting from a process related to a sealing film, and a manufacturing method of the display device. A display device includes pixel circuits on a substrate and a sealing film having a multilayer structure on the pixel circuits. The sealing film includes a first layer being formed in contact with the pixel circuits and being made of a silicon-containing inorganic material. The first layer is a mixed film containing at least one component changing seamlessly in a stacking direction.

Claims (23)

1. A display device comprising:

pixel circuits on a substrate; and

a sealing film having a multilayer structure on the pixel circuits, the sealing film comprising a first layer being formed in contact with the pixel circuits and being made of a silicon-containing inorganic material, and a second layer being formed on at least part of a top of the first layer and being made of resin material,

wherein the first layer is a mixed film containing at least one component changing seamlessly in a stacking direction.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein composition of the top of the first layer has higher adhesion to a bottom of the second layer than composition of a bottom of the first layer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the resin material of the second layer is an organic resin.

4. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein composition of a bottom of the first layer is one component selected from the group consisting of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and silicon oxide.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

composition of a bottom of the first layer is silicon nitride, and

composition of a top of the first layer is one component selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide and amorphous silicon.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the pixel circuits include an organic electroluminescence layer.

7. A manufacturing method of a display device, the method comprising:

forming pixel circuits on a substrate; and

forming a sealing film having a multilayer structure on the pixel circuits, the sealing film comprising a first layer being formed in contact with the pixel circuits and being made of a silicon-containing inorganic material,

wherein

the first layer is sequentially formed by changing at least one component of the first layer seamlessly in a stacking direction,

in a process for forming the first layer by chemical vapor deposition, types and flow rates of process gases flowing in are changed seamlessly,

the sealing film further includes a second layer made of a resin material, and

the second layer is formed on at least part of a top of the first layer.
