Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a lower electrode, a second insulating layer including an opening overlapping the lower electrode, an organic layer including a light-emitting layer, disposed in the opening and covering the lower electrode and an upper electrode covering the organic layer. The light-emitting layer includes a first bottom surface, a first end surface and a second end surface intersecting the first end surface. An angle between the first end surface and the first bottom surface in a cross-sectional view along a first direction is greater than an angle between the second end surface and the first bottom surface in a cross-sectional view along a second direction.

Claims (27)

1. A display device comprising:

a plurality of sub-pixels;

an insulating substrate;

a first insulating layer disposed above the insulating substrate;

a lower electrode disposed on the first insulating layer;

a second insulating layer disposed on the first insulating layer, and covering a peripheral portion of the lower electrode and comprising an opening overlapping the lower electrode;

an organic layer including a light-emitting layer, disposed in the opening and covering the lower electrode; and

an upper electrode covering the organic layer,

wherein

the sub-pixels of different display colors are located adjacent to each other in a first direction,

the sub-pixels of a same display color are aligned along a second direction intersecting the first direction,

each of sub-pixels comprises the lower electrode, the organic layer, and the upper electrode,

the light-emitting layer includes a first bottom surface, a first end surface and a second end surface intersecting the first end surface,

the organic layer further comprises a first carrier adjustment layer located between the lower electrode and the light-emitting layer, and a second carrier adjustment layer located between the light-emitting layer and the upper electrode,

each of the first carrier adjustment layer, the light-emitting layer, and the second carrier adjustment layer extends above the second insulating layer,

the first end surface and the second end surface are located above the first carrier adjustment layer outside the opening and in contact with the second carrier adjustment layer,

the second carrier adjustment layer covers the light-emitting layer and the first carrier adjustment layer, and an angle between the first end surface and the first bottom surface in a cross-sectional view along the first direction is greater than an angle between the second end surface and the first bottom surface in a cross-sectional view along the second direction.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first carrier adjustment layer includes a second bottom surface and a third end surface, and

in a cross-sectional view along the first direction, an angle between the third end surface and the second bottom surface is less than an angle between the first end surface and the first bottom surface.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the second carrier adjustment layer exposes the third end surface, and

the upper electrode covers the third end surface.

4. The display device of claim 1 ,

wherein the sub-pixels of a same display color are aligned along the second direction.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

a length of the first end surface along the second direction is greater than a length of the second end surface along the first direction.
