Abstract

A display device includes a substrate, a plurality of pixels, a light emitting element, and an inorganic insulating layer. The pixels are provided to the substrate. The light emitting element is provided to each of the pixels. The inorganic insulating layer has translucency and covers at least part of the light emitting element. The inorganic insulating layer includes a side part and an extending part. The side part is provided to the side surface of the light emitting element. The extending part is provided at a side on the lower end of the side part and extending toward the outer side of the light emitting element than the side part in planar view seen from the normal direction of the substrate.

Claims (35)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of pixels provided to the substrate;

a light emitting element provided to each of the pixels;

a nitride film arranged below the light emitting element;

an anode electrode electrically connected to the light emitting element;

an inorganic insulating layer having translucency and covering at least part of the light emitting element;

a flatting layer covering the inorganic insulating layer; and

a cathode electrode electrically connected to the light emitting element, wherein the inorganic insulating layer includes:

a side part provided between a side surface of the light emitting element and the flatting layer;

an extending part extending toward an outer side of the light emitting element than the side part in planar view seen from a normal direction of the substrate; and

an inclining part provided between the side part and the extending part and inclining with respect to the side part,

the nitride film, the anode electrode, the extending part, and the flatting layer that is in direct contact with the side part, are stacked in this order from the substate side,

the flatting layer is in direct contact with the upper surface of the extending part,

a refractive index of the inorganic insulating layer is larger than a refractive index of the flattening layer and a refractive index of the nitride film, and

a difference between refractive index of the inorganic insulating layer and refractive index of the light emitting element is smaller than a difference between refractive of the flattening layer and refractive index of the light emitting element.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a coupling layer provided between the light emitting element and the substrate and electrically coupled to the light emitting element, wherein

the inclining part is provided along a side surface of the coupler.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the cathode electrode is provided on the flattening layer, wherein

the inorganic insulating layer includes a top part coupled to an upper end of the side part and provided between an upper surface of the light emitting element and the cathode electrode.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the cathode electrode is provided on the flattening layer and electrically coupled to an upper surface of the light emitting element, and

the inorganic insulating layer has an opening at a part overlapping the upper surface of the light emitting element.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the inorganic insulating layer includes a facing part coupled to the extending part and provided along a wall surface of the wall structure, and

the anode electrode is provided between the wall surface of the wall structure and the facing part.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a wall structure facing a side surface of the light emitting element, wherein

the inorganic insulating layer includes a facing part coupled to the extending part and provided along a wall surface of the wall structure, and

the anode electrode is provided between the wall surface of the wall structure and the facing part.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a wall structure facing a side surface of the light emitting element, wherein

the inorganic insulating layer includes a facing part coupled to the extending part and provided along a wall surface of the wall structure.
