Abstract

According to one embodiment, an organic semiconductor device includes a supporting substrate, a plurality of organic EL light emitting elements, a first barrier layer, a flattening layer, and a second barrier layer. The flattening layer exists sporadically and makes gentle in inclination steep elevation change present in the surface of the first barrier layer. The first barrier layer and the second barrier layer are made of moisture penetration preventive material.

Claims (25)

1. An organic electroluminescent display device comprising:

a substrate comprising an active area in which a plurality of organic electroluminescent light emitting elements are disposed, and an outside area surrounding the active area;

a resin layer on the substrate;

a first inorganic insulating layer on the resin layer;

a second inorganic insulating layer on the first inorganic insulating layer; and

an organic material between the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer,

wherein

in the outside area,

the first inorganic insulating layer comprises a first flat surface and an inclined surface extending from the first flat surface,

the organic material is formed to be in contact with a first portion of the first flat surface and a first portion of the inclined surface, and

the second inorganic insulating layer is in contact with each of a second portion of the first flat surface and a second portion of the inclined surface.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the resin layer comprises a concave portion or a convex portion, and

the inclined surface overlaps with an edge of the concave portion or an edge of the convex portion.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the organic material is disposed between the second portion of the first flat surface and the second portion of the inclined surface.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first inorganic insulating layer further comprises a second flat surface extending from the inclined surface, and

the second inorganic insulating layer is in contact with the second flat surface.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein

a distance between the second flat surface and the substrate is larger than a distance between the first flat surface and the substrate.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer extends from the active area to the outside area continuously.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

an interface between the organic material and the second inorganic insulating layer has a curved shape in a cross sectional view.
