Abstract

The purpose is to provide an organic EL display device which has good sensitivity and is free from the occurrence of luminance decrease or pixel shrinkage, thereby having excellent long-term reliability. In order to achieve the above-described purpose, provided is the following configuration. Namely, an organic EL display device wherein an insulating layer formed on a first electrode is a cured film obtained by curing a photosensitive resin composition; and the residual amount of acid anhydrides contained in the cured film is from 0.003 to 0.04 (inclusive) when the residual amount of aromatic rings contained in the cured film is taken as 1 (the reference value).

Claims (25)

1. A method for manufacturing an organic EL display device, said method comprising:

emitting an actinic ray onto a photosensitive resin film through a mask having a pattern, and

a bleaching treatment that is included in an insulating layer formation step,

wherein the organic EL display device in which the insulating layer formed on a first electrode comprises a cured film produced by curing a photosensitive resin composition, wherein the below-shown index (a), which indicates the residual amount of acid anhydrides in the cured film, is 0.003 to 0.04 inclusive:

index ( a )=(intensity at 1853 cm −1 )/(intensity at 1436 cm −1 )

wherein each of the intensities represents an intensity of absorption measured with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR),

wherein the photosensitive resin composition comprises (A) an alkali-soluble resin having a carboxylic acid structure, (B) a photosensitizing agent, and (C) an organic solvent,

wherein the photosensitizing agent (B) is (b1) an o-quinone diazide compound and has positive-type photosensitivity, and

wherein the bleaching treatment is carried out on a pattern on the photosensitive resin film.
