Display device having a density of second inorganic layer in thickness direction changes in the thickness direction
A display device includes a light-emitting element layer that emits light with a luminance controlled for each of a plurality of unit pixels constituting an image, and a sealing layer provided on the light-emitting element layer and including a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers of the sealing layer includes at least an inorganic layer provided on the light-emitting element layer, an organic layer provided on the inorganic layer, and an inorganic layer that is an uppermost layer. A density of the inorganic layer that is the uppermost layer in a thickness direction changes in the thickness direction.
1. A display device comprising:
a light-emitting element layer; and
a sealing layer on the light-emitting element layer and including a plurality of layers, wherein
the plurality of layers includes at least a first inorganic layer on the light-emitting element layer, an organic layer on the first inorganic layer, and a second inorganic layer on the organic layer, and
a density of the second inorganic layer in a thickness direction changes gradually such that the density decreases toward the light-emitting element layer side.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second inorganic layer includes a first dense film and a first sparse film below the first dense film and having a density lower than that of the first dense film.
3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the first sparse film is a film containing a larger amount of gas than the first dense film.
4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein
the gas is hydrogen gas.
5. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the first sparse film has a refractive index lower than that of the first dense film.
6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
a density of the first inorganic layer in the thickness direction changes in the thickness direction.
7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein
the first inorganic layer includes a third dense film and a second sparse film below the third dense film and having a density lower than that of the third dense film.
8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein
the second sparse film is a film containing a larger amount of gas than the third dense film.
9. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein
the second sparse film has a refractive index lower than that of the third dense film.
10. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein
the density of the first inorganic layer in the thickness direction changes continuously such that the density decreases toward the light-emitting element layer side.
11. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein
the density of the first inorganic layer in the thickness direction changes stepwise such that the density decreases toward the light-emitting element layer side.
