Display device and method of manufacturing display device
Abstract
A display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a display panel having a through hole in a display area including a plurality of pixels. The display panel includes a substrate, and an organic light-emitting diode including a first electrode provided above the substrate for each of the pixels, a second electrode provided over the plurality of pixels, and an organic electroluminescence layer arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode. The through hole penetrates at least the second electrode, and the second electrode includes an oxidized part exposed at an inner surface of the through hole.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A display device comprising:
a display panel having a through hole in a display area including a plurality of pixels, wherein the display panel includes a substrate, and an organic light-emitting diode including a first electrode provided above the substrate for each of the pixels, a second electrode provided over the plurality of pixels, and an organic electroluminescence layer arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, the through hole penetrates at least the second electrode, and the second electrode includes an oxidized part exposed at an inner surface of the through hole.
2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the through hole also penetrate the substrate.
3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second electrode has a shape as a single film that surrounds peripheries of the through hole.
4 . The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pixel circuit provided in the pixels; a video signal line which supplies a voltage corresponding to a video signal, to the pixel circuit; and a scanning signal line which applies a voltage to a lighting thin-film transistor included in the pixel circuit, wherein the video signal line and the scanning signal line arranged next to the through hole are curved to detour around the through hole.
5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
a structure other than the display panel is arranged at a position corresponding to the through hole.
6 . The display device according to claim 5 , wherein
the structure include at least one of camera, earphone, and microphone.
7 . A method of manufacturing a display device that includes a display panel having a display area including a plurality of pixels, the method comprising:
forming an organic light-emitting diode which includes a first electrode provided above a substrate for each of the pixels, a second electrode provided over the plurality of pixels, and an organic electroluminescence layer arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode; providing a through hole which exposes a part of the second electrode, in the display area; and oxidizing apart of the second electrode exposed at an inner surface of the through hole.
8 . The method for manufacturing the display device according to claim 7 , wherein
a laser beam is irradiated in the display area, thus simultaneously carrying out the providing the through hole, and the oxidizing a part of the second electrode.
9 . The method of manufacturing the display device according to claim 7 , wherein
the second electrode is formed by a single film forming process using a single mask.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
