Abstract

A display device includes a light emitting device layer including a light emitting layer, a light-transmissive upper electrode on the light emitting device layer, a lower electrode having light transmittance and moisture permeability under the light emitting device layer, a light reflection layer under the lower electrode, and a hygroscopic layer having a hygroscopic property between the lower electrode and the light reflection layer.

Claims (22)

1. A display device comprising:

a light emitting device layer including a light emitting layer;

a light-transmissive upper electrode on the light emitting device layer;

a lower electrode having light transmittance and moisture permeability under the light emitting device layer;

a light reflection layer under the lower electrode;

a hygroscopic layer having a hygroscopic property located between the lower electrode and the light reflection layer; and

an insulating layer formed on a peripheral edge portion of the lower electrode without superimposition on a center portion of the lower electrode,

wherein the hygroscopic layer is provided to be superimposed on the peripheral edge portion without superimposition on the center portion of the lower electrode.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the hygroscopic layer has a property that light transmittance rises with absorption of moisture.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the hygroscopic layer is made of a material containing calcium.

4. A display device comprising:

a light emitting device layer including a light emitting layer;

a light-transmissive upper electrode on the light emitting device layer;

a lower electrode having light transmittance and moisture permeability under the light emitting device layer;

a light reflection layer under the lower electrode; and

a hygroscopic layer having a hygroscopic property located between the lower electrode and the light reflection layer,

wherein the lower electrode includes a plurality of lower electrodes arranged in a display area, and

the hygroscopic layer is provided below the lower electrodes located in a peripheral edge area of the display area but not below the lower electrodes located in a center area of the display area.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the hygroscopic layer is provided to protrude from a superimposition area on the insulating layer in a direction toward the center portion.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a light transmissive conducting layer under the center portion on which superimposition is avoided by the hygroscopic layer.

7. The display device according to claim 4 , further comprising an insulating layer formed on a peripheral edge portion of the lower electrode without superimposition on a center portion of the lower electrode,

wherein the hygroscopic layer is provided to be continuously superimposed on a region from the center portion to the peripheral edge portion.
