  • Patent number: 9673260
    Abstract: In an organic EL display device, a resistance of a cathode electrode of OLEDs is substantially reduced while maintaining a higher opening ratio of pixels as an entire display area. A reference power supply line is formed on a glass substrate, and receives a reference potential for driving the OLED. The OLED is formed on the glass substrate where the reference power supply line is formed, and has a structure in which a lower electrode, an organic material layer, and an upper electrode that is a cathode electrode common to plural pixels are laminated on each other in the order from the bottom. In some of the plural pixels, a cathode contact that penetrates through the organic material layer, and electrically connects the upper electrode to the reference power supply line is formed within an opening area corresponding to a W sub-pixel.
