  • Publication number: 20200127075
    Abstract: A lower base surface of wirings includes a stepped portion with upper surfaces having mutually different heights and stepped surfaces rising from respective upper surfaces. Each upper surface and the stepped surface form a projecting portion rising in each normal direction and constitute a first recessed corner portion immediately below the wirings and a second recessed corner portion at the tip of the projecting portion in the normal direction of the stepped surface. A first interval exists between the adjacent wirings. The first recessed corner portion has a first height. The second recessed corner portion has a second height and a second width in the first direction. The second width is smaller than the first interval, the second height is lower than the first height, or both the second width is smaller than the first interval and the second height is lower than the first height.

  • Patent number: 10121413
    Abstract: A flash phenomenon of OLEDs at the time of power source ON of a display device is suppressed. The OLED emits light when reference potentials VSS and VDD are applied from power source lines to the OLED's cathode and anode respectively. While the anode can be connected to one of the power source line via a driving TFT and a lighting switch, a reset potential VRS can be applied to the anode via a reset switch and the driving TFT. The lighting switch is turned OFF and the reset switch and the driving TFT are turned ON so that VRS is applied to the anode, before starting the application of the reference potentials to the power source lines. Following this state, the application of the reference potentials to the power source lines starts, and thus a normal operation of allowing the OLED to emit light starts.
