Abstract

A display device includes a circuit element layer disposed on a substrate; a first insulation layer disposed on the circuit element layer; a first conductor pattern disposed on the first insulation layer; a second insulation layer disposed on the first conductor pattern; a second conductor pattern disposed on the second insulation layer; a third insulation layer disposed on the second conductor pattern; an electrode of a light emitting diode disposed on the third insulation layer; and a pixel defining layer disposed on the third insulation layer and including an opening that overlaps the electrode of the light emitting diode. The opening overlaps the first conductor pattern, and in a plan view, an area of the opening matches an area of the first conductor pattern or is disposed inside the area of the first conductor pattern.

Claims (28)

1. A display device comprising:

a circuit element layer disposed on a substrate;

a first insulation layer disposed on the circuit element layer;

a first conductor pattern disposed on the first insulation layer and including one or more metal layers;

a second insulation layer disposed on the first conductor pattern;

a second conductor pattern disposed on the second insulation layer;

a third insulation layer disposed on the second conductor pattern;

an electrode of a light emitting diode disposed on the third insulation layer; and

a pixel defining layer disposed on the third insulation layer and including an opening that overlaps the electrode of the light emitting diode, wherein

the opening overlaps the first conductor pattern,

in a plan view, an area of the opening matches an area of the first conductor pattern or is disposed inside the area of the first conductor pattern, and

the first conductor pattern is electrically connected with a drain electrode of a first transistor and a drain electrode of a second transistor to each other, a gate electrode of the first transistor receiving an inverted scan signal, and a gate electrode of the second transistor receiving an initialization control signal.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein, in a cross-sectional view, a width of the first conductor pattern is equal to or greater than a width of the opening.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the second insulation layer and the third insulation layer comprise an organic insulating material.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the first insulation layer comprises an inorganic insulating material.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the electrode of the light emitting diode is electrically connected with the second conductor pattern through a contact hole of the third insulation layer.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a data line disposed between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer.

7. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a driving voltage line disposed between the second insulation layer and the third insulation layer.

8. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a light blocking member that does not overlap the opening of the pixel defining layer over the light emitting diode; and

a color filter that overlaps the opening of the pixel defining layer over the light emitting diode.

9. The display device of claim 8 , further comprising:

an encapsulation layer disposed between the light emitting diode and the light blocking member.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the circuit element layer comprises a plurality of transistors which include:

a transistor including a polycrystalline semiconductor; and

a transistor including an oxide semiconductor.
