Abstract

To provide a novel display panel that is highly convenient or reliable. To provide a novel input and output device that is highly convenient or reliable. To provide a novel data processing device that is highly convenient or reliable. To provide a method for manufacturing a novel display panel that is highly convenient or reliable. The display panel includes a pixel, a third conductive film electrically connected to the pixel, an insulating film including an opening portion overlapping with the third conductive film, and an electrode including a first region in contact with the third conductive film and a second region functioning as a contact point.

Claims (38)

1. A method for manufacturing a display panel, comprising:

a first step of forming a separation film over a process substrate;

a second step of forming a first insulating film including a region overlapping with the separation film;

a third step of heating the first insulating film;

a fourth step of forming a second insulating film including a region overlapping with the first insulating film;

a fifth step of forming a first opening portion in the second insulating film and forming, in the first insulating film and the separation film, a second opening portion overlapping with the first opening portion;

a sixth step of forming, in the second opening portion, an electrode in contact with the process substrate;

a seventh step of forming a conductive film in contact with the electrode and forming a pixel circuit electrically connected to the conductive film;

an eighth step of forming a display element electrically connected to the pixel circuit;

a ninth step of stacking a second base to overlap with the second insulating film;

a tenth step of performing separation from the process substrate; and

an eleventh step of stacking a first base.

2. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the separation film comprises an element selected from tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, tantalum, niobium, nickel, cobalt, zirconium, zinc, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and silicon, or an alloy including the element.

3. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the separation film comprises a stack of a first film comprising tungsten and a second film comprising an oxide of tungsten.

4. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the separation film comprises polyimide, polyester, polyolefin, polyimide, polycarbonate, or an acrylic resin.

5. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first insulating film comprises silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen.

6. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first insulating film comprises a hydrogen blocking layer.

7. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode comprises copper.

8. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising in the fifth step forming a recessed portion in the process substrate overlapping with the first opening portion.

9. A method for manufacturing a display panel, comprising:

a first step of forming a separation film over a process substrate;

a second step of forming a first insulating film over the separation film;

a third step of heating the first insulating film so that hydrogen diffuses from the first insulating film to the separation film;

a fourth step of forming a second insulating film over the first insulating film;

a fifth step of forming an opening in the second insulating film, the first insulating film and the separation film;

a sixth step of forming an electrode in contact with the process substrate through the opening;

a seventh step of forming a conductive film in contact with the electrode and forming a pixel circuit electrically connected to the conductive film;

an eighth step of forming a display element electrically connected to the pixel circuit;

a ninth step of stacking a second base over the second insulating film;

a tenth step of performing separation from the process substrate; and

an eleventh step of stacking a first base to overlap with the second base with the display element and the pixel circuit placed between the first base and the second base.

10. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the separation film comprises an element selected from tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, tantalum, niobium, nickel, cobalt, zirconium, zinc, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and silicon, or an alloy including the element.

11. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the separation film comprises a stack of a first film comprising tungsten and a second film comprising an oxide of tungsten.

12. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the separation film comprises polyimide, polyester, polyolefin, polyamide, polycarbonate, or an acrylic resin.

13. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the first insulating film comprises silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen.

14. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the first insulating film comprises a hydrogen blocking layer.

15. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 9 , wherein the electrode comprises copper.

16. The method for manufacturing the display panel according to claim 9 , further comprising in the fifth step forming a recessed portion in the process substrate overlapping with the opening.
