Abstract

A display device including: a substrate; a plurality of transistors disposed on the substrate; and a multi-layer insulating film disposed on the transistors, wherein the multi-layer insulating film includes a first insulating film and a second insulating film, the multi-layer insulating film includes a first region in which the first insulating film and the second insulating film overlap each other in a direction perpendicular to the substrate and a second region in which the first insulating film is disposed, the first region overlaps the plurality of transistors, and a modulus of the second insulating film is lower than a modulus of the first insulating film.

Claims (32)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of transistors disposed on the substrate; and

a multi-layer insulating film disposed on the transistors,

wherein the multi-layer insulating film includes a first insulating film, a second insulating film, and a third insulating film,

the multi-layer insulating film includes a first region and a second region,

the third insulating film is sandwiched between the second insulating film and the first insulating film in the first region,

the second insulating film is sandwiched between the third insulating film and the first insulating film in the second region, and

a modulus of the second insulating film is lower than a modulus of the first insulating film and a modulus of the third insulating film,

wherein the modulus of the first insulating film, the modulus of the second insulating film and the modulus of the third insulating film is Young's modulus.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first region overlaps the transistors, and

the second region does not overlap the transistors.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the second insulating film includes a plurality of portions spaced apart from each other, and

the third insulating film contacts upper and side surfaces of the portions of the second insulating film.

4. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an interlayer insulating film disposed between the transistors and the multi-layer insulating film,

the interlayer insulating film and the second insulating film contact each other in the first region, and

the interlayer insulating film and the third insulating film contact each other in the second region.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the modulus of the third insulating film is 5 to 30 times the modulus of the second insulating film.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the modulus of the third insulating film is 80 GPa to 150 GPa.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first insulating film and the third insulating film include the same material.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first and third insulating films include an inorganic material, and the second insulating film includes an organic material.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first region overlaps a data line.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first region is disposed between adjacent scan lines.
