  • Patent number: 9508761
    Abstract: Since a film, which is the upper layer of an interlayer insulating film and has a fast etching rate, does not have dense film quality, moisture is entered from the end portion of a substrate, and it is likely that display unevenness and the like occur. A manufacturing method of a display device includes the steps of: forming a first contact hole on the first interlayer film; forming a second interlayer film on the first interlayer film and in the first contact hole, the second interlayer film having a lower layer film and an upper layer film having an etching rate faster than an etching rate of the lower layer film; forming a second contact hole on the second interlayer film; and removing at least a part of the upper layer film.

  • Publication number: 20160293878
    Abstract: An organic EL display device includes in order from a substrate side: a metal layer; an insulating layer formed on the metal layer; a first electrode layer formed on the insulating layer; an organic layer formed on the first electrode layer; and a second electrode layer formed on the organic layer. The metal layer is for use as a reflective layer configured to reflect, on a surface of the metal layer, light generated from the organic layer by applying a voltage between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer.

  • Publication number: 20160293903
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a display device includes forming a three-layer laminate by laminating a first transparent conductive film, a metal film, and a second transparent conductive film in order from a substrate side. The three-layer laminate forms a plurality of anode electrodes arranged in a pixel region and a plurality of dummy electrodes arranged on an outer side of the pixel region. The method of manufacturing a display device also includes subjecting the second transparent conductive film and the metal film to etching and subjecting the first transparent conductive film to etching. A density of a pattern of the plurality of dummy electrodes is reduced as a distance from the pixel region is increased.
