Abstract

Provided is a manufacturing method of a display device, which includes: forming a first electrode; forming a first insulating film covering an edge portion of the first electrode and having an opening portion overlapping with the first electrode; forming an EL layer over the first electrode and the first insulating film; forming a second electrode over the EL layer; forming a second insulating film over the second electrode so as to overlap with the first insulating film; removing the second insulating film; and forming a sealing film over the second electrode.

Claims (71)

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

forming a first electrode;

forming a first insulating film covering an edge portion of the first electrode and having an opening portion overlapping with the first electrode;

forming an EL layer over the first electrode and the first insulating film;

forming a second electrode over the EL layer;

forming a second insulating film over the second electrode so as to overlap with the first insulating film;

removing the second insulating film; and

forming a sealing film over the second electrode,

wherein the second insulating film is formed so as to have a flat top surface over the first insulating film.

2. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second insulating film is formed so as to cover the first insulating film.

3. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the removal of the second insulating film is carried out with a plasma treatment.

4. The manufacturing method according to claim 3 ,

wherein the plasma treatment is performed in the presence of a gas including oxygen.

5. The manufacturing method according to claim 3 ,

wherein the plasma treatment is performed so that the second insulating film is anisotropically etched.

6. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first insulating film and the second insulating film each comprise an organic compound.

7. The manufacturing method according to claim 6 ,

wherein the organic compound includes an acrylic resin.

8. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first insulating film and the second insulating film include the same material.

9. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the sealing film comprises:

a first layer including an inorganic compound;

a second layer over the first layer, the second layer including an organic compound; and

a third layer over the second layer, the third layer including an inorganic compound.

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

forming a first electrode;

forming a first insulating film covering an edge portion of the first electrode and having an opening portion overlapping with the first electrode;

forming an EL layer over the first electrode and the first insulating film;

arranging a mask having an opening portion between the first insulating film and an evaporation source so as to be in contact with the first insulating film;

forming a second electrode over the EL layer through the opening portion of the mask;

forming a second insulating film over the second electrode so as to overlap with the first insulating film;

removing the second insulating film; and

forming a sealing film over the second electrode.

11. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the second insulating film is formed so as to cover the first insulating film.

12. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the second insulating film is formed so as to have a flat top surface over the first insulating film.

13. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the removal of the second insulating film is carried out with a plasma treatment.

14. The manufacturing method according to claim 13 ,

wherein the plasma treatment is performed in the presence of a gas including oxygen.

15. The manufacturing method according to claim 13 ,

wherein the plasma treatment is performed so that the second insulating film is anisotropically etched.

16. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the first insulating film and the second insulating film each comprise an organic compound.

17. The manufacturing method according to claim 16 ,

wherein the organic compound includes an acrylic resin.

18. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the first insulating film and the second insulating film include the same material.

19. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the sealing film comprises:

a first layer including an inorganic compound;

a second layer over the first layer, the second layer including an organic compound; and

a third layer over the second layer, the third layer including an inorganic compound.

20. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the second insulating film is formed so as to cover a damaged portion of the first insulating film, the damaged portion resulting from contact with the mask.

21. The manufacturing method according to claim 20 ,

wherein the damaged portion has a depression, and

wherein the second insulating film is formed so as to fill the depression.

22. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein a part of the first insulating film is removed when the second insulating film is removed.

23. The manufacturing method according to claim 21 ,

wherein the second insulating film is removed so that a part of the second insulating film remains in the depression.

24. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the removal of the second insulating film is performed so that a part of the second insulating film is left in the first insulating film.

25. The manufacturing method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the removal of the second insulating film is performed so that a part of the second insulating film is left in the first insulating film.
