Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a pixel electrode provided in each of a plurality of pixels, a bank provided between the adjacent pixel electrodes, an organic EL layer provided on the pixel electrode and provided in an opening of the bank, a common electrode provided over the first to third pixels, and an auxiliary electrode provided in at least one of the first to third pixels so as to overlap the common electrode and the organic EL layer.

Claims (34)

1 . A display device comprising:

a plurality of pixels comprising a first pixel which emits red light, a second pixel which emits green light and a third pixel which emits blue light;

a pixel electrode provided in each of the pixels;

a bank provided between the adjacent pixel electrodes;

an organic EL layer provided on the pixel electrode and provided in an opening of the bank;

a common electrode provided over the first to third pixels; and

an auxiliary electrode provided in at least one of the first to third pixels so as to overlap the common electrode and the organic EL layer.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the auxiliary electrode is provided so as to overlap the organic EL layer of the first pixel and the common electrode.

3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the common electrode is provided between the auxiliary electrode and the organic EL layer.

4 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the auxiliary electrode is provided between the common electrode and the organic EL layer.

5 . A display device comprising:

a plurality of pixels comprising a first pixel which emits red light, a second pixel which emits green light and a third pixel which emits blue light;

a pixel electrode provided in each of the pixels;

a bank provided between the adjacent pixel electrodes;

an organic EL layer provided on the pixel electrode and provided in an opening of the bank;

a common electrode provided in each of the pixels; and

an auxiliary electrode having a line shape and overlapping part of the common electrode.

6 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the auxiliary electrode comprises first and second auxiliary electrodes parallel to each other,

the first auxiliary electrode overlaps the common electrode of the first pixel and the common electrode of the third pixel, and

the second auxiliary electrode overlaps the common electrode of the second pixel.

7 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the auxiliary electrode overlaps an end portion of each of the common electrode of the first pixel, the common electrode of the second pixel and the common electrode of the third pixel.

8 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the auxiliary electrode has a grating shape, and comprises a first area extending in a first direction, a second area extending in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, and a third area in which the first area and the second area intersect each other, and

each of the first to third pixels overlaps at least a single first area and a single second area.

9 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the first pixel, the second pixel and the third pixel are arranged in a first direction, and

the auxiliary electrode has a line shape and extends in the first direction.

10 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein

a thickness of the common electrode is less than a thickness of the auxiliary electrode.
