  • Publication number: 20180108853
    Abstract: A display device includes: a flexible substrate; a plurality of stacked bodies that are formed on the flexible substrate; and a plurality of sealing layers that seal the plurality of stacked bodies, respectively. Each of the plurality of stacked bodies includes a lower electrode, an upper electrode, and alight-emitting layer interposed between the lower and upper electrodes to configure at least one light-emitting element. The adjacent sealing layers are separated with a space interposed therebetween. The upper electrode sealed by each of the plurality of sealing layers is separated from the upper electrode sealed by the adjacent sealing layer with the space interposed therebetween.

  • Patent number: 9923038
    Abstract: Provided is a display device including a pixel. The pixel has: a conductive film; an interlayer insulating film over the conductive film; a first electrode over the interlayer insulating film; an insulating film over the first electrode; an organic layer over the first electrode and the insulating film; and a second electrode over the organic layer. The interlayer insulating film has a first opening portion overlapping with the conductive film. The insulating film covers the first opening portion. A first region of the organic layer in contact with the first electrode surrounds the insulating film. An area defined by a periphery of the first region has at least two symmetry axes in a direction parallel to a surface of the substrate.
