Abstract

A display device includes: a substrate; pixels, the pixels each including at least one transistor and a light emitting device connected to the transistor; data lines and scan lines connected to the pixels; and a power line supplying power to the light emitting device. The transistor includes an active pattern on the substrate, source and drain electrodes each connected to the active pattern, a gate electrode on the active pattern, an interlayer insulating layer covering the gate electrode, the interlayer insulating layer including a first interlayer insulating layer, a second interlayer insulating layer, and a third interlayer insulating layer, which are sequentially stacked, and a protective layer provided on the interlayer insulating layer. The third interlayer insulating layer includes a concave part in a region in which the light emitting device and the second conductive layer overlap with each other, and the second conductive layer is in the concave part.

Claims (29)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate comprising a pixel region and a peripheral region;

pixels in the pixel region of the substrate, the pixels comprising at least one transistor and a light emitting device connected to the at least one transistor;

data lines and scan lines connected to the pixels;

a power line configured to supply power to the light emitting device, the power line overlapping with the light emitting device; and

an insulating layer between the power line and the light emitting device,

wherein the power line comprises a first conductive layer at a same layer as the data lines and a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer,

wherein the insulating layer comprises a concave part at a region in which the light emitting device and the power line overlap with each other, and

wherein the second conductive layer is in the concave part.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer comprises a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer that are sequentially stacked.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first insulating layer comprises:

a first sub-insulating layer on the first conductive layer; and

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the concave part comprises a region in which a portion of the second sub-insulating layer is removed to expose the first sub-insulating layer therethrough.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the second conductive layer is on the first sub-insulating layer.

6. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the concave part comprises a concave region at which a partial thickness of the second sub-insulating layer is removed.

7. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first insulating layer comprises an organic insulating layer, and

wherein the concave part exposes the first conductive layer therethrough.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein, at the concave part, the second conductive layer is in direct contact with the first conductive layer.
