Display device
View Patent ↗A display device includes a first pixel and a second pixel arranged in a first or a second direction, each of them has a pixel electrode, a contact hole under the pixel electrode, a bank on the pixel electrode, and an opening provided in the bank and on the pixel electrode. A first imaginary line connecting the center of the contact hole of a first pixel and the center of the contact hole of a second pixel is substantially parallel to the first direction or the second direction, a second imaginary line connecting the center of the opening of the first pixel and the center of the opening of the second pixel is substantially parallel to the first direction or the second direction, and each of straight-line sides of the openings of the plurality of pixels has an angle with respect to both of the first and the second direction.
1. A display device having a display region including a plurality of pixels arranged in a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction on a substrate,
each of the plurality of pixels comprises:
a transistor on the substrate;
a pixel electrode; and
a contact portion connecting one of a source electrode and a drain electrode of the transistor and the pixel electrode,
a flattening layer is between the transistor and the pixel electrode, and covers the transistor,
an insulating layer is between the flattening layer and the pixel electrode, and has an opening,
a bank layer is on the pixel electrode and the insulating layer, and covers an edge of the pixel electrode and the opening of the insulating layer, and
the bank layer has an opening exposing an upper surface of the pixel electrode, wherein
the contact portion has a contact hole through the flattening layer and the insulating layer,
the flattening layer and the bank layer are directly in contact with each other at the opening of the insulating layer,
the contact portion and the opening of the insulating layer are arranged in line along one of the first direction and the second direction, and
the opening of the insulating layer and the opening of the bank layer are arranged in line along another one of the first direction and the second direction.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the contact portion and the opening of the insulating layer are not arranged in line along the another one of the first direction and the second direction.
3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the opening of the insulating layer and the opening of the bank layer are not arranged in line along the one of the first direction and the second direction.
4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the opening of the bank layer has a first side and the second side crossing the first side,
each of the first side and the second side has an angle with respect to both of the first direction and the second direction.
5. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an organic layer on the pixel electrode and covering the upper surface of the pixel electrode; and
a common pixel electrode on the organic layer commonly covering the plurality of pixels.
6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of data signal lines extending along the first direction and arranged along the second direction; and
a plurality of gate signal lines extending along the second direction and arranged along the first direction.
