Abstract

A display device includes a substrate having a first side and a second side, a display region having a light-emitting element that includes an electrode, a pixel electrode disposed between the substrate and the electrode in a thickness direction of the substrate, and a light-emitting function layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the electrode in the thickness direction, a drive circuit disposed between the first side and the display region in plan view, and a conductive layer having a first portion extending between the first side and the display region in plan view and along the first direction, and a second portion extending between the second side and the display region in plan view and along the second direction, wherein a width of the first portion in the second direction is greater than a width of the second portion in the first direction.

Claims (38)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate having a first side extending in a first direction and a second side extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction;

a display region having a light-emitting element that includes an electrode, a pixel electrode disposed between the substrate and the electrode in a thickness direction of the substrate, and a light-emitting function layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the electrode in the thickness direction;

a drive circuit disposed between the first side and the display region in plan view; and

a conductive layer having:

a first portion extending between the first side and the display region in plan view and along the first direction, the first portion being in contact with the electrode; and

a second portion extending between the second side and the display region in plan view and along the second direction, the second portion being in contact with the electrode, wherein

a width of the first portion in the second direction is greater than a width of the second portion in the first direction.

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

an insulating layer that is arranged between the conductive layer and the electrode in the thickness direction, and that includes a first opening portion overlapping with the first portion in plan view and a second opening portion overlapping with the second portion in plan view, wherein

a width of the first opening portion in the second direction is greater than a width of the second opening portion in the first direction.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a distance from the display region to the first portion is greater than a distance from the display region to the second portion.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

a distance from the display region to the first portion is greater than a distance from the display region to the second portion.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light-emitting function layer is covered by the electrode in plan view.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a sealing layer covering the electrode in plan view, wherein

the sealing layer includes a first inorganic layer, an intermediate layer, and a second inorganic layer.

7. A display device comprising:

a substrate including a first side and a second side intersecting the first side;

a display region including a pixel circuit disposed at an intersection of a scanning line and a data line;

a data line drive circuit configured to supply a data signal to the data line; and

an opening defining layer that is disposed between a conductive layer and a common electrode and that has insulating properties, wherein

the pixel circuit includes a light-emitting element including a light-emitting function layer between a pixel electrode and the common electrode,

the light-emitting element emits light based on the data signal when the scanning line is selected,

the opening defining layer includes an opening portion outside the display region in plan view, a portion of the opening portion along the first side overlaps with the data line drive circuit in plan view, and a width of the portion along the first side is greater than a width of a portion along the second side, and

the common electrode is electrically coupled to the conductive layer at the opening portion.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

a distance from the display region to the portion along the first side is greater than a distance from the display region to the portion along the second side.

9. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the light-emitting function layer is covered by the common electrode.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , comprising:

a sealing layer covering the light-emitting function layer and the common electrode, wherein

the sealing layer includes a first inorganic layer, an intermediate layer, and a second inorganic layer.

11. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the display device according to claim 1 .
