Abstract

A bank partitions a plurality of pixels and has an opening in each of the plurality of pixels. An organic layer includes a light emitting layer, and covers the bank opening. A first inorganic barrier layer is formed of an inorganic material, and covers the bank and the organic layer. A plurality of organic barrier portions are formed of organic materials, and are disposed on the first inorganic barrier layer. A second inorganic barrier layer is formed of the inorganic material, and covers the first inorganic barrier layer and the plurality of organic barrier portions. A recessed portion is formed on the bank and the first inorganic barrier layer (for example, the recessed portion is formed in an area which covers a contact hole), and a portion of the organic barrier portion is formed in the recessed portion.

Claims (18)

1. An organic EL display device comprising:

a substrate having an insulating surface;

a lower electrode on the insulating surface;

a bank covering an edge of the lower electrode, the bank has an opening exposing a part of the lower electrode and has a concave portion away from the opening;

a first inorganic barrier layer covering the lower electrode and the bank;

a first organic portion on the first inorganic barrier layer;

a second organic portion on the first inorganic barrier layer; and

a second inorganic barrier layer covering the first organic portion and the second organic portion, wherein

the first organic portion overlaps with an exposed surface of the lower electrode at the opening,

the second organic portion overlaps with the concave portion, and does not overlap with the exposed surface of the lower electrode, and

the first inorganic insulating layer and the second inorganic insulating layer are in contact with each other directly above at least a part of the opening.

2. The organic EL display device according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the first organic portion and the second organic portion is encapsulated by the first inorganic barrier layer and the second inorganic barrier layer.

3. The organic EL display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the bank is between the insulating surface and the first inorganic barrier layer at the concave portion, and

the bank is not between the insulating surface and the first inorganic barrier layer at the opening.

4. The organic EL display device according to claim 1 , further comprising an upper electrode covering the lower electrode and the bank, wherein

the upper electrode is between the lower electrode and the first inorganic barrier layer.
