Abstract

According to one embodiment, an organic semiconductor device includes a supporting substrate, a plurality of organic EL light emitting elements, a first barrier layer, a flattening layer, and a second barrier layer. The flattening layer exists sporadically and makes gentle in inclination steep elevation change present in the surface of the first barrier layer. The first barrier layer and the second barrier layer are made of moisture penetration preventive material.

Claims (63)

1 . (canceled)

2 . A display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel; and

a backlight device opposed to the liquid crystal display panel;

the backlight device comprising:

a frame-shaped structure with a first surface and a second surface, the second surface facing the liquid crystal display panel and being located between the liquid crystal display panel and the first surface;

a reflective sheet adhering to the first surface with a first adhesive layer; and

a light-shielding member covering a side surface of the liquid crystal display panel;

wherein

the liquid crystal display panel adheres to the second surface with a second adhesive layer,

the second surface includes a first region that is not in contact with the second adhesive layer,

the frame-shaped structure includes a portion that protrudes outward from the liquid crystal display panel in a plan view, and

the light-shielding member overlaps the portion in the plan view.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the light-shielding member is a third adhesive layer made of resin.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein a part of the second adhesive layer is located between the third adhesive layer and the second surface.

5 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate, and

the light-shielding member is in contact with a first side surface of the first substrate and a second side surface of the second substrate.

6 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein

the second substrate is located between the first substrate and the frame-shaped structure,

the liquid crystal display panel includes a first polarizing plate located between the frame-shaped structure and the second substrate, and

the light-shielding member is in contact with the first polarizing plate.

7 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein

the second substrate is located between the first substrate and the frame-shaped structure,

the liquid crystal display panel includes a second polarizing plate, the first substrate being located between the second polarizing plate and the second substrate, and

the light-shielding member is not in contact with the second polarizing plate.

8 . The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a first optical sheet between the liquid crystal display panel and the frame-shaped structure,

wherein the light-shielding member is in contact with the first optical sheet.

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

a second optical sheet between the liquid crystal display panel and the reflective sheet, wherein the light-shielding member is not in contact with the second optical sheet.

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

a lightguide located on the reflective sheet,

wherein

the frame-shaped structure surrounds the lightguide, and

the second optical sheet is located on the lightguide.

11 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the second optical sheet is not located on the second surface.

12 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the first adhesive layer is a frame-like shape on the first surface.

13 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the frame-shaped structure is a rectangular shape with four sides, and

the first adhesive layer is located on the four sides successionally.

14 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the frame-shaped structure is a rectangular shape with a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, and

the second adhesive layer is located on the first to third sides successionally, and is not located on the fourth side.

15 . The display device of claim 14 , further comprising:

a printed circuit board located on the fourth side, and

wherein the frame-shaped structure is located between the printed circuit board and the reflective sheet.

16 . The display device of claim 15 , wherein

the backlight device includes light sources, and

the printed circuit board is electrically connected to the light sources.

17 . The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a printed circuit board located on the first region, and

wherein the frame-shaped structure is located between the printed circuit board and the reflective sheet.

18 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein a thickness of the second adhesive layer is greater than a thickness of the first adhesive layer.

19 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the liquid crystal display panel includes a first polarizing plate facing the frame-shaped structure, and

the first polarizing plate covers at least two of internal surfaces of the first adhesive layer, the two facing each other.

20 . The display device of claim 19 , wherein the first polarizing plate does not cover the first region.

21 . The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a prism sheet,

wherein

the second surface includes a second region that is in contact with the second adhesive layer and does not overlap the light-shielding member in the plan view, and

the prism sheet overlaps the second region in the plan view.
