Abstract

A display device includes a thin film transistor; a first organic insulating film covering the thin film transistor and containing a resin material; an inorganic insulating film on the first organic insulating film; a pixel electrode electrically connected with the thin film transistor; a second organic insulating film covering an end of the pixel electrode and exposing a top surface of the pixel electrode; and an organic layer provided on the top surface of the pixel electrode and including a light emitting layer. As seen in a plan view, the inorganic insulating film has an opening, overlapping the second organic insulating film, at a position not overlapping an opening provided in the first organic insulating film. The first and second organic insulating films face each other in the opening in the inorganic insulating film, with an oxide conductive film being between the first and second organic insulating films.
