Abstract

A display panel includes a planarization layer, self-luminous elements, a first wiring line, a second wiring line, and a sensing wiring line. The first wiring line is coupled to the first electrode layer through a first opening of the planarization layer. The second wiring line is coupled to the second electrode layer through a second opening of the planarization layer. The sensing wiring line is provided in a region and is electrically separated from the first electrode layer, the second electrode layer, the first wiring line, and the second wiring line. The region is positioned in the same layer as the first electrode layer, in the same layer as the second wiring line, or in a layer disposed between the first electrode layer and the second wiring line, and is positioned between the first electrode layer and the second opening.

Claims (28)

1. A display panel comprising:

a planarization layer having a first opening and a second opening that is provided closer to an end edge of the display panel than the first opening;

a plurality of self-luminous elements provided on a front surface of the planarization layer, and each including a first electrode layer, a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode layer that are provided in this order from the planarization layer;

a first wiring line provided on a back surface of the planarization layer, and coupled to the first electrode layer through the first opening;

a second wiring line provided on the back surface of the planarization layer, and coupled to the second electrode layer through the second opening; and

a sensing wiring line provided in a region and electrically separated from the first electrode layer, the second electrode layer, the first wiring line, and the second wiring line, the region being positioned in a same layer as the first electrode layer, in a same layer as the second wiring line, or in a layer disposed between the first electrode layer and the second wiring line, and being positioned between the first electrode layer and the second opening.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the sensing wiring line is provided in the same layer as the first electrode layer, and includes a same material as the first electrode layer.

3. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a drive circuit provided on the back surface of the planarization layer and configured to drive the plurality of self-luminous elements; and

a protection layer that is provided on the back surface of the planarization layer and covers, entirely or partially, the drive circuit, the first wiring line, and the second wiring line,

wherein the sensing wiring line is provided between the protection layer and the planarization layer.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a drive circuit provided on the back surface of the planarization layer and configured to drive the plurality of self-luminous elements; and

a protection layer that is provided on the back surface of the planarization layer and covers, entirely or partially, the drive circuit, the first wiring line, and the second wiring line,

wherein the sensing wiring line is provided in the same layer as the second wiring line.

5. The display panel according to claim 4 , wherein the sensing wiring line includes a same material as the second wiring line.

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the sensing wiring line is configured to vary its resistance value on a basis of a corrosion caused by a moisture.

7. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the sensing wiring line includes a metal material containing aluminum.

8. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the sensing wiring line is provided along an outer edge of the display panel.

9. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein

the second opening surrounds a region that includes the plurality of self-luminous elements, and

the second electrode layer includes a portion that covers an inner surface of the second opening.

10. An electronic apparatus with a display surface that includes a display panel, the display panel comprising:

a planarization layer having a first opening and a second opening that is provided closer to an end edge of the display panel than the first opening;

a plurality of self-luminous elements provided on a front surface of the planarization layer, and each including a first electrode layer, a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode layer that are provided in this order from the planarization layer;

a first wiring line provided on a back surface of the planarization layer, and coupled to the first electrode layer through the first opening;

a second wiring line provided on the back surface of the planarization layer, and coupled to the second electrode layer through the second opening; and

a sensing wiring line provided in a region and electrically separated from the first electrode layer, the second electrode layer, the first wiring line, and the second wiring line, the region being positioned in a same layer as the first electrode layer, in a same layer as the second wiring line, or in a layer disposed between the first electrode layer and the second wiring line, and being positioned between the first electrode layer and the second opening.
