Abstract

A display device is disclosed, which comprises: a first substrate; a first metal layer disposed on a surface of the first substrate; a first insulating layer disposed on the first metal layer; a second insulating layer disposed on the first insulating layer; and a second metal layer covering a part of the second insulating layer and comprising a connecting region, wherein the first metal layer and the second metal layer are electrically connected to each other in the connecting region, wherein the second metal layer corresponding to the connecting region comprises a sidewall region and a non-sidewall region, a first thickness of the sidewall region corresponding to the second insulating layer along a direction parallel to the surface of the first substrate is smaller than a second thickness of the non-sidewall region along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the first substrate.

Claims (17)

1. A display device, comprising:

a first substrate;

a poly-silicon layer disposed on the first substrate;

a first metal layer disposed on the poly-silicon layer and comprising a gate electrode;

a first insulating layer disposed on the first metal layer;

a second insulating layer disposed on the first insulating layer, wherein the first insulating layer is disposed between the first metal layer and the second insulating layer;

a second metal layer covering a part of the second insulating layer;

a planar layer disposed on the second metal layer;

a pixel defining layer disposed on the planar layer and comprising a pixel opening, wherein the gate electrode and the pixel opening are at least partially overlapped, and a light emitting region is defined by the pixel opening;

a first electrode electrically connected to the second metal layer;

a second electrode; and

an organic light emitting layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the pixel defining layer is disposed between the first electrode and the organic light emitting layer,

wherein a thickness of the second insulating layer under the second metal layer is larger than that uncovered with the second metal layer.

2. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second insulating layer uncovered with the second metal layer is 10˜95% of that under the second metal layer.

3. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first insulating layer comprises a first side wall, the second insulating layer comprises a second side wall, and at least a part of the second side wall is protruded beyond a part of the first side wall.

4. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display device is an organic light emitting diode display device or a liquid crystal display device.

5. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a third insulating layer disposed between the poly-silicon layer and the first metal layer.
