Abstract

A display device includes a display region including light emitting elements; a first inorganic insulating layer covering the light emitting elements; a first organic insulating layer on the first inorganic insulating layer; a second organic insulating layer on the first organic insulating layer; a third organic insulating layer on the second organic insulating layer; and a second inorganic insulating layer on the third organic insulating layer. Edges of the first to third organic insulating layers are between edges of the first and second inorganic insulating layers and an edge of the display region; the edge of the second organic insulating layer is between the edge of the first organic insulating layer and the edge of the display region; and the edge of the third organic insulating layer is between the edges of the first and second inorganic insulating layers and the edge of the second organic insulating layer.

Claims (22)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display region including a plurality of light emitting elements arrayed in a matrix;

a first inorganic insulating layer covering the plurality of light emitting elements;

a first organic insulating layer on the first inorganic insulating layer;

a second organic insulating layer on the first organic insulating layer;

a third organic insulating layer on the second organic insulating layer; and

a second inorganic insulating layer on the third organic insulating layer,

wherein

an edge of the first organic insulating layer, an edge of the second organic insulating layer, and an edge of the third organic insulating layer are located between an edge of the first inorganic insulating layer and the display region,

the edge of the second organic insulating layer is located between the edge of the first organic insulating layer and the display region,

the edge of the first organic insulating layer is located between the edge of the second organic insulating layer and the edge of the third organic insulating layer,

the third organic insulating layer covers the edge of the first organic insulating layer and the edge of the second organic insulating layer, and

the edges of the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer are located outer to the edge of the display region and the edges of the first to third organic insulating layers.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer are in contact with each other at a position outer to the edge of the third organic insulating layer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a third inorganic insulating layer between the first organic insulating layer and the second organic insulating layer; and

a fourth inorganic insulating layer between the second organic insulating layer and the third organic insulating layer.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the edges of the first to third organic insulating layers are tapered.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the edges of the first to third organic insulating layers each have a rounded shape in a cross-sectional view.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a line layer on the second inorganic insulating layer, the line layer extending from the display region to a position outer to the third organic insulating layer,

wherein the line layer has a first line width in an area thereof overlapping the display region and has a second line width greater than the first line width in an area thereof overlapping the edges of the first to third organic insulating layers.
