Abstract

A display device includes a first substrate, a display region arranged with a pixel including a light emitting element above the first substrate, a first inorganic insulating layer covering the display region, an organic insulating layer arranged above the first inorganic insulating layer, a second inorganic insulating layer arranged above the organic insulating layer and having a N—H bond total weight measured by an FT-IR method lower than a N—H bond total weight per unit [% area] of the first inorganic insulating layer, and a polarizing plate arranged above the second inorganic insulating layer.

Claims (33)

1. A display device comprising:
