Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a base, a first insulating layer, a first pixel electrode on the first insulating layer in a pixel, a second pixel electrode on the first insulating layer in a dummy pixel, a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer, a first organic layer in the pixel and in contact with the first pixel electrode, a second organic layer in the dummy pixel, a partition wall on the second insulating layer and between the organic layers and a common electrode covering the organic layers and the partition wall. An end portion of the first organic layer is in contact with a side surface of the partition wall.

Claims (66)

1 - 20 . (canceled)

21 . A display device comprising:

a base;

a first insulating layer disposed on the base;

a first pixel electrode disposed on the first insulating layer in a pixel located in a display area;

a second pixel electrode disposed on the first insulating layer in a dummy pixel located in a peripheral area on an outer side of the display area;

a second insulating layer disposed on the first insulating layer and comprising an opening overlapping the first pixel electrode;

a first organic layer disposed in the pixel and in contact with the first pixel electrode via the opening;

a second organic layer disposed in the dummy pixel;

a partition wall disposed on the second insulating layer and between the first organic layer and the second organic layer;

a first common electrode covering the first organic layer; and

a second common electrode covering the second organic layer,

wherein

a first end portion of the first common electrode is in contact with a side surface of the partition wall, and

the first common electrode is electrically coupled with the second common electrode.

22 . The display device of claim 21 , wherein

the partition wall has a shape such that a width of an upper portion is less than a width of a lower portion.

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

a third common electrode covering the partition wall, and

wherein the third common electrode is connected to the first common electrode and the second common electrode.

24 . The display device of claim 23 , wherein

a thickness of the first common electrode is greater than a thickness of the second common electrode.

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

a power feed line disposed on the partition wall,

wherein the power feed line is in contact with the second common electrode.

26 . The display device of claim 25 , further comprising:

a third common electrode covering the partition wall, and

wherein the third common electrode is located between the partition wall and the power feed line, and is separated from the first common electrode and the second common electrode.

27 . The display device of claim 21 , wherein

the second pixel electrode and the second organic layer oppose each other via the second insulating layer.

28 . A display device comprising:

a base;

a first insulating layer disposed on the base;

a first pixel electrode disposed on the first insulating layer in a pixel located in a display area;

a second pixel electrode disposed on the first insulating layer in a dummy pixel located in a peripheral area on an outer side of the display area;

a second insulating layer disposed on the first insulating layer and comprising an opening overlapping the first pixel electrode;

a first organic layer disposed in the pixel and in contact with the first pixel electrode via the opening;

a second organic layer disposed in the dummy pixel;

a partition wall disposed on the second insulating layer and between the first organic layer and the second organic layer;

a common electrode covering the first organic layer, the second organic layer; and

a first conductive layer disposed on the first insulating layer in the peripheral area,

wherein

the second insulating layer comprises a first contact hole in the peripheral area,

the common electrode includes a portion in the peripheral area, and

the portion is in contact with the first conductive layer via the first contact hole.

29 . The display device of claim 28 , further comprising:

a third organic layer disposed on the second insulating layer and covered by the portion.

30 . The display device of claim 29 , wherein

the third organic layer is formed into a ring shape in the peripheral area.

31 . The display device of claim 29 , wherein

the dummy pixel is located between the display area and the third organic layer.

32 . The display device of claim 28 , wherein

the first conductive layer is formed into a ring shape in the peripheral area.

33 . The display device of claim 28 , wherein

the dummy pixel is located between the display area and the first conductive layer in planar view.

34 . The display device of claim 28 , further comprising:

a second conductive layer located between the base and the first insulating layer,

wherein

the first insulating layer comprises a second contact hole in the peripheral area, and

the first conductive layer is in contact with the second conductive layer via the second contact hole.

35 . The display device of claim 34 , wherein

the second conductive layer is formed into a ring shape in the peripheral area.

36 . The display device of claim 34 , wherein
