  • Publication number: 20230032902
    Abstract: An organic device comprising a pixel region in which pixels are arranged, a peripheral region including a pad electrode, and a sealing layer arranged to cover the pixel and peripheral regions, is provided. In the peripheral region, an opening of the sealing layer is formed. The opening comprises a first portion extending from a plane defined by an upper surface of the sealing layer towards the pad electrode, and a second portion which has an outer edge inside outer edges of the first portion and the pad electrode and opens from a lower end of the first portion to the pad electrode. A conductive particle for electrical connection to an electrode is arranged on the pad electrode, and a diameter of the conductive particle is larger than a height of the second portion.
