Abstract

Damage of a color filter due to erosion or the like in a process of patterning a light-shielding film to form a black matrix laminated on the color filter of a display device is prevented. Plural color filters are formed on a second substrate correspondingly to pixels. Protection films laminated on upper surfaces of the respective color filters are formed. A light-shielding film is laminated on a surface of the second substrate on which the protection films are formed. The light-shielding film is processed while the protection films are used as damage stoppers, and light-shielding members made of the light-shielding film selectively left along boundaries of the pixels are formed.

Claims (17)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate on which a light-emitting element is disposed correspondingly to each of a plurality of pixels; and

a second substrate on which a color filter is disposed correspondingly to each of the plurality of pixels and which is bonded to the first substrate, wherein

the second substrate is provided with a protection film laminated on the color filter, and a light-shielding member which is laminated on the protection film and is disposed along a boundary of each of the pixels, a plurality of color filters are provided with a separation groove along the boundary of the pixels to separate the color filters, wherein the separation groove further separates the protection films along the boundary of the pixel, and the light-shielding member covers an inner surface of the separation groove and a part of an upper surface of the color filter.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding member covers the inner surface of the separation groove and a peripheral part of the upper surface of the color filter.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the protection film is selectively disposed on the upper surface of the color filter, and

the light-shielding member has an overlap with the protection film at the peripheral part.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

an arrangement of the pixels includes a non-filter pixel in which the color filter is not disposed on the second substrate, and

the light-shielding member covers a side surface and an edge part of the upper surface of the color filter at a portion in contact with the non-filter pixel among the boundaries of the pixels.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first substrate is provided with a pixel separation area to separate the plurality of light-emitting elements from each other, and

the light-shielding member has a plane shape corresponding to the pixel separation area.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light-shielding member which is formed by patterning a light-shielding film laminated on the protection film, and

the protection film is made of a material resistant to a process of patterning the light-shielding film.
