Abstract

A display device, which includes a display region in which a plurality of pixels are arranged, includes a first organic insulating film, a first groove, which exists in a frame shape surrounding the display region to separate the first organic insulating film, a first inorganic partition portion, which is arranged in the first groove, and is made of an inorganic insulating material that exists in a frame shape surrounding the display region, a second organic insulating film formed above the first organic insulating film and the first inorganic partition portion, and a second groove, which exists in a frame shape surrounding the display region to separate the second organic insulating film, and is located inside the first groove in plan view.

Claims (30)

1. A display device, which includes a display region in which pixels are arranged and a frame region surrounding the display region, comprising:

a first organic insulating film in the frame region;

a first groove separating the first organic insulating film;

a first inorganic partition portion in the first groove;

a second groove being closer to the display region than the first groove and separating the first organic insulating film;

a second organic insulation film on the first organic insulating film;

a third groove separating the second organic insulation film;

a fourth groove separating the second organic insulation film;

wherein the first, second, third, and fourth grooves have frame shapes in the frame region and each surrounding the display region,

a side surface of the first inorganic partition portion contacts the first organic insulating film, and

the first inorganic partition portion includes an upper surface that is below an upper surface of the second organic insulation film.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first groove extends along the second groove.

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

a pixel electrode which is above the first organic insulating film;

an inorganic insulating film which is below the first organic insulating film; and

a lower electrode which is between the first organic insulating film and the inorganic insulating film and which is connected to the pixel electrode via an interlayer connection hole formed in the first organic insulating film,

wherein, between the first inorganic partition portion and the inorganic insulating film, wirings in a same layer as the lower electrode extend across a region of the first inorganic partition portion.

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

an inorganic insulating film below the first organic insulating film; and

a lower electrode arranged between the first organic insulating film and the inorganic insulating film which is connected to a pixel electrode via an interlayer connection hole in the first organic insulating film,

wherein a circuit element including a conductive film in a same layer as the lower electrode is below the first inorganic partition portion.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a conductive film in a same layer as a pixel electrode is above the first inorganic partition portion.

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

an inorganic insulating film below the first organic insulating film; and

a lower electrode between the first organic insulating film and the inorganic insulating film which is connected to a pixel electrode via an interlayer connection hole formed in the first organic insulating film,

wherein the first inorganic partition portion includes at least one of a part of the inorganic insulating film or a conductive film in a same layer as the lower electrode.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein an organic material does not extend across a region of the first inorganic partition portion.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first groove and the third groove overlap each other.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the third groove is on the first groove and the fourth groove is on the second groove.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth groove is closer to the display region than the third groove.
