Abstract

A display device includes an element substrate including a display area where a plurality of self-light-emitting elements are formed, and a driver IC disposed outside the display area in the element substrate. A first metal layer is disposed on the reverse side of the element substrate at a position opposite to the display area. A second metal layer is disposed with a space between the first metal layer and the second metal layer on the reverse side of the element substrate at a position opposite to the driver IC.

Claims (15)

1. A display device comprising:

a plurality of self-light-emitting elements;

an element substrate having a display area where the plurality of self-light-emitting elements are provided;

a driver IC disposed outside the display area of the element substrate;

a first metal layer disposed on a reverse side of the element substrate at a position opposite to the display area; and

a second metal layer disposed on the reverse side of the element substrate at a position opposite to the driver IC, and leaving a space from the first metal layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a protective layer which is formed of an insulating layer, and which covers the first metal layer and the second metal layer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

further comprising a counter substrate that is disposed to face the element substrate,

the element substrate having a first area exposed from the counter substrate, the driver IC disposed in the first area,

the element substrate having a second area which is overlapped with the counter substrate, and which is arranged outside the display area where the plurality of self-light-emitting elements are provided,

the second metal layer which is disposed on the reverse side at a first position opposite to the first area, and which meanders from the first position to a second position opposite to the second area.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal layer and the second metal layer, which the space therebetween separate, each stand insular.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a bridge portion, which is a metal layer, and electrically connects the first metal layer and the second metal layer at an equal potential.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal layer and the second metal layer are of an identical metal layer which is deposited by sputtering or vapor deposition.
