Title
Display device
Abstract
A display device includes a plurality of pixel electrodes which are provided separately from each other on an insulative surface; a first layer which is provided separately from each other on the respective plurality of pixel electrodes, and includes a plurality of first carrier transport layers or a plurality of first carrier injection layers; a pixel separation film which is provided on the first layer, and includes a plurality of opening portions in each region which overlaps with the respective plurality of pixel electrodes in a planar view; a light emitting layer which is provided so as to cover at least one of the plurality of opening portions; a second layer which is provided on the light emitting layer, and includes a second carrier transport layer or a second carrier injection layer; and a counter electrode which is provided on the second layer.
Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising: a plurality of pixel electrodes which are provided separately from each other on an insulative surface; a first layer which is provided on the plurality of pixel electrodes, and includes a plurality of first carrier transport layers or a plurality of first carrier injection layers; a pixel separation film which is provided on the first layer so as to cover a part of the first layer, and includes a plurality of opening portions in each region which overlaps with the respective plurality of pixel electrodes in a planar view; a light emitting layer which is provided so as to cover at least one of the plurality of opening portions; a second layer which is provided on the light emitting layer, and includes a second carrier transport layer or a second carrier injection layer; and a counter electrode which is provided on the second layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the first layer is separately provided between the respective plurality of pixel electrodes.

3. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the first layer is continuously provided over the plurality of pixel electrodes.

4. The display device according to claim 1, wherein carrier mobility of the first layer which overlaps the pixel separation film in a planar view is lower than carrier mobility of the first layer which is exposed from the pixel separation film in a planar view.

5. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the light emitting layer is formed independently from each other so as to correspond to the respective plurality of pixel electrodes.

6. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the light emitting layer is continuously formed over the plurality of pixel electrodes in a planar view.

7. A display device comprising: a plurality of pixel electrodes which are provided separately from each other on an insulative surface; a plurality of first layers which correspond to the respective plurality of pixel electrodes thereon, are provided separately from each other, and include a plurality of first carrier transport layers or a plurality of first carrier injection layer; a light emitting layer which is provided on the plurality of first layers; a second layer which is provided on the light emitting layer, and includes a second carrier transport layer or a second carrier injection layer; and a counter electrode which is provided on the second layer, wherein carrier mobility of the first layer which does not overlap one of the plurality of pixel electrodes in a planar view is lower than carrier mobility of the first layer which overlaps one of the plurality of pixel electrodes in a planar view.

8. A display device comprising: a plurality of pixel electrodes which are provided separately from each other on an insulative surface; a first layer which is continuously provided on the plurality of pixel electrodes, and includes a first carrier transport layer or a first carrier injection layer; a light emitting layer which is provided on the first layer; a second layer which is provided on the light emitting layer, and includes a second carrier transport layer or a second carrier injection layer; and a counter electrode which is provided on the second layer, wherein the first layer includes an intermediate portion which is provided between two adjacent pixel electrodes of the plurality of pixel electrodes in a planar view, and carrier mobility of the intermediate portion is lower than carrier mobility of a portion which is provided on the pixel electrode in the first layer.

9. The display device according to claim 8, wherein the light emitting layer is formed independently from each other so as to correspond to the respective plurality of pixel electrodes.

10. The display device according to claim 8, wherein the light emitting layer is continuously formed over the plurality of pixel electrodes in a planar view.
