Abstract

An organic EL display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate on which a display region including a plurality of pixels including an organic EL layer and an external region that surrounds the display region are formed, at least one separating wall that is formed at a part of the external region on the substrate, and an organic layer that covers at least a part of the display region, includes an organic material, and is formed on a display region side of the at least one separating wall. A wall surface of the display region side of the at least one separating wall includes an inclined surface that is inclined toward the display region side as it is extended away from the substrate.

Claims (11)

1. A method of manufacturing an organic EL display device comprising:

forming a separating wall as part of an external region on a substrate on which a display region and the external region are formed, wherein the display region comprises a plurality of pixels comprising an organic EL layer, and the external region surrounds the display region, wherein the pixels comprise a first electrode;

dripping a formation material of an organic planarizing layer including an organic material on a side of the separating wall that faces the display region such that the substrate, the organic EL layer, and the organic planarizing layer are arranged in this order in the display region, and

forming, on a wall surface of the side of the separating wall, an inclined surface that is inclined toward the display region as the inclined surface is extended away from the substrate such that the separating wall blocks the organic planarizing layer from spreading,

wherein the substrate, the organic EL layer, the first electrode, a first inorganic film, and the organic planarizing layer are arranged in this order from the substrate to the organic planarizing layer.

2. The method of manufacturing an organic EL display device according to claim 1 , further comprising forming the first inorganic film composed of an inorganic material on the substrate before dripping the formation material of the organic layer.

3. The method of manufacturing an organic EL display device according to claim 1 , further comprising forming a second inorganic film composed of an inorganic material that integrally covers the organic layer and the separating wall after dripping the formation material of the organic layer to form the organic layer.

4. The method of manufacturing an organic EL display device according to claim 1 , wherein the step of forming the separating wall further comprises:

forming a separating wall formation film with a photosensitive resin composition on the substrate;

disposing, on the separating wall formation film, a photomask including a light transmitting part that corresponds to a part where the separating wall is formed;

exposing the separating wall formation film to perform a development by a light source that is arranged above the display region.
