 Organic electoluminescence display device and manufacturing method thereof

 Technical field

 TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an organic electoluminescence display device and a method for manufacturing the same.

 Background art

 Conventionally, as a self-luminous display device, an electoluminescence display device (hereinafter also referred to as an EL display device) has been widely known. There are inorganic EL display devices and organic EL display devices as EL display devices. Among them, organic EL display devices are particularly actively researched and developed because they have the characteristics of low-voltage drive, all-solid-state type, high-speed response, and self-luminance.

[0003] A general organic EL display device is provided between, for example, a substrate, a pixel electrode formed on the substrate, a counter electrode disposed to face the pixel electrode, and the pixel electrode and the counter electrode. And an organic layer formed.

 Here, high flatness is required in the region where the pixel electrode is formed. However, since the active matrix substrate is provided with TFTs and wirings, a large number of irregularities are formed on the surface of the active matrix substrate. When a pixel electrode is directly formed on a substrate having such irregularities, a large number of irregularities are formed on the pixel electrode corresponding to the irregularities, and the pixel electrode is easily lost.

 In general, in order to reduce such unevenness, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, it is known to form a planarization layer. The active matrix substrate of Patent Document 1 has a laminated structure in which an upper region including a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix and a lower region including a plurality of thin film transistors that drive the individual pixel electrodes are overlapped with each other. A planarizing layer is interposed between these regions. This flattening layer improves the flatness of the region where the pixel electrode is formed.

Disclosure of the invention Problems to be solved by the invention

[0006] The structure of an active matrix substrate used in a liquid crystal display device is directly applied to the substrate of an active matrix organic EL display device. However, in this case, as described below, there is a problem that display quality is relatively poor, such as a large number of pixel defects.

 [0007] As a result of extensive research on the organic EL display device, the present inventors have found that the cause of the above problem is unevenness slightly formed on the surface of the first electrode. That is, slight irregularities are likely to remain on the surface of the planarization layer formed on the active matrix substrate of Patent Document 1, reflecting the irregularities before the planarization layer is formed. Then, slight irregularities are also formed on the surface of the first electrode reflecting the irregularities on the surface of the planarizing layer. On the other hand, since the thickness of the organic layer is smaller than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, even if the unevenness of the first electrode is slight, it is greatly affected.

 That is, the thickness of the organic layer tends to be nonuniform due to slight unevenness of the first electrode. In particular, in a relatively steep region on the uneven surface of the first electrode, pixel defects may occur as a result of the organic layer being cut off and missing.

[0033] One action

 Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.

[0034] The thickness of the first electrode is not less than the maximum depth of the unevenness formed on the surface of the planarization layer, so that the flatness of the surface of the first electrode is improved. Therefore, since the uniformity of the organic layer thickness is improved, pixel defects are reduced.

[0035] Incidentally, if the maximum depth of the irregularities formed in the planarization layer is larger than lOOnm, the flatness of the first electrode is degraded, and the thickness of the organic layer tends to be nonuniform. Therefore, the uniformity of the luminance distribution tends to be reduced. [0036] On the other hand, when the maximum depth of the unevenness formed on the surface of the planarization layer is lOOnm or less, the influence of the unevenness on the surface of the planarization layer is reduced, and the surface of the first electrode is flattened. Sex is improved. This further improves the uniformity of the thickness of the organic layer, thereby improving the uniformity of the luminance distribution.

 [0037] Furthermore, when the light emission of the organic layer is extracted from the second electrode side, the light emission of the organic layer can be extracted without being blocked by a switching element or wiring that does not transmit light. Therefore, the aperture ratio is larger than that of the bottom emission type organic EL display device.

 [0038] In the method of manufacturing an organic EL display device according to the present invention, in the planarization layer forming step, a planarization layer that covers the switching elements is formed on the substrate body on which the plurality of switching elements are formed. In addition, a plurality of contact holes are formed in the planarization layer. At this time, if the flattening layer is formed so that the maximum depth of the irregularities on the flattening layer surface is lOOnm or less, the flatness of the surface of the first electrode is improved, so that the uniformity of the luminance distribution is improved. In particular, when polishing is performed on the surface of the planarizing layer, the maximum depth of the unevenness on the planarizing layer surface can be formed to a size of lOOnm or less without relatively increasing the thickness of the planarizing layer. It becomes possible.

 [0039] In a first electrode formation step performed thereafter, a plurality of first electrodes are formed on the planarization layer at a predetermined interval. At this time, the flatness of the surface of the first electrode is improved by forming the thickness of the first electrode so as to be not less than the maximum depth of the unevenness formed on the surface of the planarizing layer. Therefore, pixel defects are reduced.

 [0040] In the organic layer forming step, the organic layer is formed so as to cover at least a part of the first electrode. In particular, when an organic layer containing an organic polymer material is formed, the organic layer is formed by a wet process. This makes it possible to form an organic layer that is not subjected to a vacuum process. In the subsequent second electrode formation step, the second electrode is formed so as to cover the organic layer. Through the above process, the flatness of the surface of the first electrode is improved, and an organic EL display device with relatively high uniformity in the thickness of the organic layer is manufactured.

[0041] Further, for example, as a prior art, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-258796, after the planarization layer has a two-layer structure and the first layer including the polishing stubber film is planarized by polishing on the basis of the polishing stagger film A method for forming the second layer is disclosed. The amount of polishing in the prior art The control method is to polish the first planarizing layer until the surface of the strobe layer is exposed. Here, Fig. 6 shows the maximum depth of unevenness with respect to the polishing time in the CMP method for the planarization layer. As shown in FIG. 6, the unevenness change with respect to the polishing time in the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP method) of the planarization layer tends to increase the polishing time as the maximum depth of the unevenness decreases. In particular, when the unevenness is less than lOOnm, the unevenness change becomes extremely small. In other words, the step reduction speed decreases as the unevenness becomes smaller, and it takes a considerable amount of time to give the organic EL appropriate flatness. Furthermore, the formation of the staggered layer leads to a complicated pattern and process, and decreases productivity and yield. In addition, flattening by polishing with a staggered layer may cause unintentional irregularities due to overpolishing due to the difference in polishing speed between the location where the stubber layer is located or not! Become.

 [0042] However, as in the present invention, the planarization layer forming step includes a first planarization layer forming step of forming a planarization layer so as to cover the switching element, and a surface of the planarization layer. A flattening process for flattening the formed unevenness, and a second flattening layer forming process for forming at least one flattening layer on the flattened layer on which the unevenness has been flattened, By the process before the step reduction speed is significantly reduced, it is possible to perform the flattening process with excellent time controllability, flattening efficiency and high step reduction speed.

 [0043] Further, the second planarization located on the lower surface of the first electrode is formed by forming at least one second planarization layer above the first planarization layer on which the unevenness is planarized by the planarization process described above. It becomes possible to make the layer surface substantially flat. In addition, the formation of the second planarization layer is effective not only in planarization but also in mitigating the influence of scratches on the surface of the first planarization layer by the polishing process.

[0044] Further, according to the present invention, in the planarization treatment step, the maximum depth of the unevenness is set to 50 mm or more and 200 mm or less. Here, if the polishing process is performed until the maximum depth of the unevenness of the first planarization layer becomes smaller than 50 nm, excessive polishing time and generation of scratches on the surface are caused, resulting in productivity. And the yield decreases. In addition, when a polishing process is performed in which the maximum depth of the unevenness of the first planarization layer does not reach 200 nm, the thickness of the second planarization layer is increased to obtain planarity after the formation of the second planarization layer. It needs to be very thick. For this reason, it takes much time, and stable formation of the second planarization layer and contact hole As a result, it is difficult to reliably form the steel, resulting in a decrease in productivity and yield. However, when the maximum depth of the unevenness generated in the first planarization layer of the present invention is set to 50 nm or more and 200 nm or less, the unevenness reduction speed that decreases as the maximum depth of the unevenness decreases. It is possible to perform a flattening process with excellent time controllability and flattening efficiency with a large step reduction speed without being affected by the above. For this reason, it is possible to easily obtain the flatness suitable for the organic EL by forming the second planarizing layer.

 In the present invention, the polishing process is a CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process. CMP is a method of flattening the film surface by chemical etching with a chemical solution and mechanical polishing with fine abrasive grains. According to CMP, it has excellent flatness on the order of nm, and the polishing amount can be controlled with high V and accuracy.

 [0046] Further, according to the present invention, in the second planarization layer forming step, the maximum depth of the unevenness formed on the surface of the planarization layer located immediately below the first electrode is set to 100 mm or less. This can reduce the luminance distribution due to the unevenness on the planarization layer and improve the film thickness distribution of the organic layer on the pixel electrode. This makes it possible to manufacture high-quality organic EL display devices with few display defects at a high yield.

 In the present invention, in the organic layer forming step, the organic layer containing an organic polymer material is formed. Film formation of a polymer material using a liquid material can be obtained by baking after applying the material. However, the film thickness distribution is significantly affected by the unevenness of the base. Therefore, it is possible to improve the film thickness distribution of the organic layer by making the surface of the second planarizing layer, which is the lower surface of the first electrode, substantially flat. Therefore, excellent display quality and reliability can be obtained in an organic EL display device in which a polymer material is included in the organic layer in the organic EL portion. The invention's effect

 [0048] According to the present invention, the flatness of the surface of the first electrode can be improved because the thickness of the first electrode is not less than the maximum depth of the unevenness of the planarization layer. For this reason, the uniformity of the thickness of the organic layer is improved. As a result, it is possible to reduce the pixel defects and improve the display quality with the power S.

The insulating layer 40 partitions the plurality of first electrodes 20 in a matrix and is formed so as to overlap the entire contact hole 14c. That is, the adjacent first electrodes 20 are electrically insulated from each other through the insulating layer 40. Since the insulating layer 40 is formed on the contact hole 14c, the contact hole 14c is not included in the pixel region 35. The insulating layer 40 is made of, for example, photosensitive polyimide, acrylic resin, methallyl resin, or nopolac resin.

At this time, the first electrode 20 is formed so that the thickness H force of the first electrode 20 is, for example, 150 nm or the like, that is, the size of the maximum depth D of the unevenness on the surface of the planarizing layer 14.

[0074] Thereafter, the plurality of first electrodes 20 are partitioned in a matrix, and the insulating layer 40 that electrically insulates the adjacent first electrodes 20 from each other is formed. The insulating layer 40 is patterned into a frame shape surrounding the periphery of each first electrode 20 and covering the edge of the first electrode 20 by, for example, a photolithography method or the like. At this time, the insulating layer 40 is formed so as to overlap the entire contact hole 14c. In the organic layer forming step to be performed next, the organic layer 30 composed of the hole transport layer 31 and the light emitting layer 32 is formed so as to cover the exposed portion of the first electrode 20. First, a hole transport material paint in which an organic polymer material that is a hole transport material is dissolved or dispersed in a solvent is supplied so as to cover the exposed first electrode 20 by an inkjet method or the like. Thereafter, the hole transport layer 31 is formed by baking the substrate body 11. Next, an organic light emitting material coating material in which an organic polymer material as a light emitting material is dissolved or dispersed in a solvent is supplied so as to cover the hole transport layer 31 by an inkjet method or the like. Thereafter, the substrate body 11 is subjected to a firing process to form the light emitting layer 32. For example, pure water or the like is used as the solvent.

 In the subsequent second electrode formation step, for example, the second electrode 50 including the metal layer 51 and the transparent electrode layer 52 is formed so as to cover the organic layer 30 and the insulating layer 40. First, for example, a metal layer 51 made of A containing 5% Ca is formed on the surfaces of the organic layer 30 and the insulating layer 40 by resistance heating vapor deposition or the like. Thereafter, a transparent electrode layer made of ITO, IZO, ZnO, SnO, etc. 5

 2

 2 is formed so as to cover the metal layer 51 by DC sputtering or the like.

Thereafter, the sealing film 60 is formed on the second electrode 50 so as to cover the organic layer 30 and the second electrode 50 by a plasma CVD method or the like.

In the above embodiment, the force that the thickness H of the first electrode 20 is 150 nm and the maximum depth D of the unevenness of the planarization layer 14 is 48 nm. The present invention is not limited to this. Flattening layer 14 The flattening layer 14 is formed so that the maximum depth D of the surface irregularities is lOOnm or less, and the thickness of the first electrode 20 H force The maximum unevenness depth D of the flattening layer 14 or more The first electrode 20 is formed so as to have a size of! /.

[0079] Effect of Embodiment 1

 According to the first embodiment, the thickness of the first electrode 20 is equal to or greater than the maximum depth D of the unevenness formed on the surface of the flattening layer 14, so that the flatness of the surface of the first electrode 20 is reduced. Since the thickness can be improved, the uniformity of the thickness of the organic layer 30 is improved. As a result, pixel defects can be reduced and display quality can be improved.

By the way, if the maximum depth D force lOOnm of the unevenness formed in the planarization layer 14 is larger than the flatness of the first electrode 20, the planarity of the first electrode 20 is deteriorated and the thickness of the organic layer 30 is unsatisfactory. It tends to be uniform. Therefore, the uniformity of the luminance distribution tends to be reduced. [0081] On the other hand, since the maximum depth D of the flattening layer 14 is D force S, lOOnm or less, the influence of the unevenness of the surface of the flattening layer 14 is reduced, and the flatness of the surface of the first electrode is reduced. Power S can be improved. Thus, the thickness uniformity of the organic layer 30 can be further improved. As a result, the uniformity of the luminance distribution can be improved and the display quality can be improved.

 [0082] Further, since the organic EL display device 1 is a top emission method in which the light emitted from the organic layer 30 is extracted from the second electrode 50 side, the organic layer is not blocked by the TFT 12 or the wiring 13 that does not transmit light. 30 luminescence can be extracted. As a result, the aperture ratio can be made larger than the bottom emission type EL display device.

 Further, in the first electrode forming step, the first electrode 20 is formed so that the thickness H force of the first electrode 20 and the maximum depth D of the concave and convex on the surface of the planarizing layer 14 are not less than D. . For this reason, the flatness of the surface of the first electrode 20 can be improved. As a result, pixel defects can be reduced and display quality can be improved.

 Further, in the planarization layer forming step, the planarization layer 14 is formed so that the maximum depth D of the planarization layer 14 is less than D force l OOnm. For this reason, it is possible to improve the flatness of the surface of the first electrode 20. As a result, the power S improves the uniformity of the luminance distribution and improves the display quality.

 Further, in the planarization layer forming step, the surface of the planarization layer 14 is polished.

 For this reason, the maximum depth D of the unevenness of the planarizing layer 14 can be made less than lOOnm without increasing the thickness of the planarizing layer 14 relatively. As a result, since the planarization layer 14 can be formed relatively thin, the organic EL display device 1 can be thinned.

 [0086] Further, in the organic layer forming step, since the organic layer 30 containing the organic polymer material is formed by the inkjet method, it is possible to form the organic layer 30 without performing a vacuum process. As a result, productivity can be improved and manufacturing cost can be reduced with the power S.

That is, the gate electrode 72 is formed on the substrate body 11, and the gate insulating film 19 is formed so as to cover the gate electrode 72. In the gate insulating film 19, an island-shaped semiconductor layer 73 that is insulated from the gate electrode 72 through the gate insulating film 19 is formed so as to cover the gate electrode 72. In the island-shaped semiconductor layer 73, the drain region 71 and the source region 70 are formed in separate regions without contacting each other. In other words, the gate electrode 72 is insulated from the source region 70 and the drain region 71 through the gate insulating film 19.

The TFT 12 is formed on the substrate body 11 to form irregularities having the same maximum depth as that of the case! For this reason, in this embodiment, the force S can be obtained to obtain the same effect as in the first embodiment.

The insulating layer 113 is provided so as to cover the electrode, and the second electrode 11 lb (cathode) is provided so as to cover the insulating layer 113.

[0100] A plurality of first electrodes 11la are formed in a matrix at predetermined intervals on the surface of the second planarization layer 108b. Each of the first electrodes 11 la is formed in a rectangular shape, and each of the first electrodes 11 la constitutes each pixel region of the organic EL display device 100. Each first electrode 11 la is connected to a contact hole 114. The contact hole 114 is filled with the same metal material as the first electrode 11 la. In this way, the first electrode 111a is electrically connected to the TFT electrode 109b via the contact hole 114 formed in the first planarization layer 108a and the second planarization layer 108b, and the signal input from the TFT 106 Accordingly, the organic layer 112 has a function of injecting holes. The thickness of the first electrode 111a is, for example, 150 nm, and is larger than the maximum depth of the unevenness formed on the surface of the second planarization layer 108b. [0101] The insulating layer 113 partitions the plurality of first electrodes 111a in a matrix and is formed so as to overlap the entire contact hole 114. That is, the adjacent first electrodes 11 la are electrically insulated from each other through the insulating layer 113. Since the insulating layer 113 is formed on the contact hole 114! /, The contact hole 18 is not included in the pixel region! /. The insulating layer 113 is made of, for example, photosensitive polyimide, acrylic resin, methallyl resin, or nopolac resin.

By combining them, it has a function of emitting light. The light emitting layer 112b is formed including, for example, an organic polymer material which is one kind or many kinds of light emitting materials. As the organic polymer material used for the light emitting layer 1 12b, for example, poly (2-deoxy-1,4-phenylene) (DO-PPP) or the like is used.

As the second electrode 111b, for example, a material having a small work function (work function 4. OeV or less) made of a metal made of A and containing 5% of Ca or the like is preferable. This is because many organic materials have a lower electron affinity than metals and inorganic semiconductors, and thus an electrode with a low work function is required for electron injection.

[0108] Manufacturing Method

 A manufacturing process constituting the organic EL display device 100 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 8 to 13 are process diagrams illustrating a method of manufacturing the active matrix organic EL display device 100 including the thin film transistor according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

 First, as shown in FIG. 8, the TFT 106 and the wiring 107 are formed on the substrate body 105, and the interlayer insulating film 110 is formed on the TFT 106 and the wiring 107 as a protective film. The interlayer insulating film 110 formed here is formed by a known technique (such as a low pressure CVD method, a plasma CVD method, or a thermal oxidation method).

 Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the first planarizing layer 108a is formed. The first planarizing layer 108a is formed by spin coating or other coating method, and is fired immediately after coating. The first planarizing layer 108a preferably has a film thickness of at least 2 m as an interlayer insulating function.

 Next, a contact hole 114 is formed in the first planarizing layer 108a by a lithography method.

 [0112] Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the size of the unevenness of the formed first planarization layer 108a is reduced by a polishing process. Here, a direction C1 in FIG. 10 indicates a polishing process direction with respect to the first planarization layer 108a.

[0113] The maximum depth of the unevenness of the first planarized layer 108a after polishing is preferably 50 nm or more and 200 nm or less. Here, FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the organic EL display device 100 in which the shape of the first planarization layer 108a before the CMP polishing step is indicated by a dotted line 120 with respect to FIG. FIG. 11 shows that the unevenness of the first planarization layer 108a is reduced by the polishing process. In the polishing process, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP method) that has excellent flatness on the order of nm and can control the polishing amount with high accuracy is used. The CMP method is a method of flattening the surface to be polished by chemical etching with chemicals and mechanical polishing with fine abrasive grains. As the slurry, cerium oxide, alumina, silica, etc. are used, and as the node, polyurethane is used. Letan, suede, etc. are used. In the embodiment of the present invention, the force of using cerium oxide as the slurry and polyurethane as the pad is not limited to this. Regarding processing conditions, the substrate pressure is 0.1 MPa, the rotation speed is 50 rpm, the polishing time is 3 to 15 minutes, and 15 minutes.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the second planarizing layer 108b is formed on the first planarizing layer 108a.

 The second planarization layer 108b makes the unevenness of the surface located immediately below the first electrode 111a substantially flat. The second planarization layer 108b is formed by the same method as the first planarization layer 108a, and then the contact hole 114 is formed. The film thickness of the second planarizing layer 108b is such that the unevenness of the layer below the first electrode 111a can be made almost flat and the contact hole 114 can be easily formed. 5 ^ 01-2.0 m is preferable. The formation of the second planarization layer 108b is effective not only for planarization but also for mitigating the influence of scratches on the film surface of the first planarization layer 108a by the polishing process. The polishing process of the first planarization layer 108a and the formation of the second planarization layer 108b are performed when the planarization layer under the pixel electrode is substantially planarized, and a film is formed when a pixel electrode and a light emitting layer 112b described later are formed. It plays an important role in reducing the thickness distribution.

 Next, as shown in FIG. 13, contact holes 114 are formed so as to penetrate the first and second planarization layers 108a and 108b, respectively. A first electrode 111a is formed so as to be electrically connected to the active matrix substrate 101 through a conductor. Here, the first electrode 11 la may be used as a conductor for connection.

 [0116] Next, the insulating layer 113 is formed so as to cover the edge portion of the first electrode 111a. For the insulating layer 113, a SiO insulating film and an acrylic resin can be used.

 Next, an organic layer 112 is formed so as to cover them, and a second electrode 111 b is formed on the organic layer 112.

 Next, as shown in FIG. 7, an insulating film 103 functioning as a thin film sealing layer is formed on the second electrode 11 lb by a known technique (low pressure CVD method, plasma CVD method, thermal oxidation method, etc.). To do.

 [0119] Next, the sealing substrate 104 is bonded to the insulating film 103 through a sealant. As a result, the organic EL display device 100 is completed.

 [0120] Effect of Embodiment 3

In Embodiment 3, the first planarization layer 1 formed on the TFT 106 or the wiring 107 is used. Since the polishing of 08a is a process before the step reduction rate is significantly reduced, the time controllability is excellent, and polishing processing with high polishing efficiency and high step reduction rate is performed to reduce the unevenness to 50 nm or more and 200 nm or less. . Further, by forming the second planarization layer 108b above the polished first planarization layer 108a, the flatness of lOOnm or less, preferably 50nm or less, can be obtained with respect to the irregularities immediately below the first electrode 111a. Can do. The formation of the second planarization layer 108b is effective not only in planarization but also in mitigating the influence of scratches on the surface of the first planarization layer 108a by the polishing process. As a result, in the organic layer 112 including the light emitting layer 112b formed on the first electrode 111a, the film thickness distribution corresponding to the structure such as the TFT 106 below the first electrode 111a is reduced, and the luminance within the pixel is reduced. The distribution can be improved and light emission can be obtained with high brightness uniformly in the pixel. As a result, excellent light extraction can be performed in the organic EL display device 100. In the organic layer 112 including the light emitting layer 112b formed on the first electrode 111a, the unevenness corresponding to the structure such as the TFT 106 below the first electrode 11la is small, so the film thickness due to the unevenness is extremely large. The thin region can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a high-quality organic EL display device 100 with few display defects and high yield, high productivity, and high yield.

That is, the unevenness of the planarization layer 14 or the first planarization layer 108a is adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the planarization layer 14 or the first planarization layer 108a when forming the planarization layer 14 or the first planarization layer 108a. The maximum depth of the unevenness of the planarization layer 14 or the first planarization layer 108a, which may be set to a maximum depth of 10 nm or less, is only required to be 10 nm or less.

[0123] In the above embodiment, the first electrode 20 or the first electrode 11la (anode) is preferably formed of a material having a high work function (work function 4. OeV or more).

 [0145] The organic layer 30 was composed of a hole injection layer and a light emitting layer 32. The hole injection layer was formed on the first electrode side, and the light emitting layer 32 was formed on the second electrode 50 side. The hole injection layer is made of polyester.

1 electrode 20 was coated on the electrode 20 and dried at 150 ° C. for 20 minutes to form. The thickness of the hole injection layer was formed to 60 nm by controlling the concentration of the mixed solution and the amount of ink droplets dropped. The light emitting layer 32 was formed by applying a solution of a polyfluorene derivative by an ink jet method and the same method as the hole injection layer. The second electrode 50 was formed so as to have a thickness of 10 nm.

 [0146] In the organic EL display device 1 of Example 2, the planarization layer 14 was formed on the surface of the planarization layer 14 without performing the polishing treatment. The thickness of the acrylic resin layer 14b is 2 m, and the maximum depth D of the unevenness on the surface of the flattening layer 14 is 380 nm. The thickness H of the first electrode 20 is 400 nm. The other structure of Example 2 is the same as that of Example 1 above.

 [0147] In the organic EL display device 1 of Example 3, the acrylic resin layer 14b having a thickness of 2 m was formed by polishing the acrylic resin layer 14b having an initial thickness of 4 m. The maximum depth D of the irregularities on the surface of the planarized layer 14 is 62 nm. The thickness of the first electrode 20 is 150 nm. The structures of the organic layer 30 and the second electrode 50 in Example 3 are the same as in Example 1 above.

 [0148] In the organic EL display device 1 of Example 4, the surface of the planarization layer 14 was not polished, the acrylic resin layer 14b had a thickness of 2 Hm, and the surface of the planarization layer 14 was uneven. The maximum depth D is 320nm. The thickness H of the first electrode 20 is 400 nm. The structures of the organic layer 30 and the second electrode 50 in Example 4 are the same as in Example 1 above.

[0149] As a comparative example of Example 1 and Example 2, Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 3 were also measured for an increase in pixel defects with time, as in Examples 1 to 4. Further, as Comparative Examples of Example 3 and Example 4, also in Comparative Examples 4 to 6, the increase in pixel defects with the passage of time was measured in the same manner. In the following, the organic EL display devices of Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 6 will be described using the same reference numerals as in Examples 1 to 4 for easy understanding. [0150] In Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the thickness H force of the first electrode 20 is 300 nm, 200 nm, and 100 nm, respectively. The structures other than the first electrode 20 of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are the same as those of Example 2 described above. In Comparative Examples 4 to 6, the thickness H force of the first electrode 20 is 300 nm, 200 nm, and lOOnm, respectively. The structures other than the first electrode 20 in these comparative examples 4 to 6 are the same as those in the fourth embodiment. These organic EL display devices 1 of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 have 320 × 240 pixels.

 [0151] First electrodes of organic EL display devices of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6

 A voltage was applied between 20 and the second electrode 50, and a control signal was sent to the TFT 12 so that green light was emitted uniformly over the entire display area. For Example 1 and Example 3, uniform green emission was confirmed. In addition, when the lighting state in the pixel was observed using an optical microscope, no noticeable nonuniform luminance distribution was observed in the pixel.

 [0152] On the other hand, for Example 2, Example 4, and Comparative Examples 1 to 6, variation in the luminance distribution was confirmed. In addition, when the lighting state in the pixel was observed using an optical microscope, it was confirmed that the light and darkness corresponding to the irregularities on the surface of the planarization layer 14 was confirmed in these organic EL display devices.

 [0153] The luminance of the entire panel surface of Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 is about 40% of the luminance of the entire panel surface of Example 1, and Example 4 and Comparative Example 4 to Comparative Example The brightness of the entire panel surface of Example 6 was about 40% of the brightness of the entire panel surface of Example 3.

 [0154] Next, after lighting the organic EL display devices of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 for 500 hours, the number of pixels that newly became display defects was determined. As the number of pixel defects, we measured the increase in pixel defects over time.

 Increased number of

[0157] Table 1 shows the number of increased pixel defects in Example 1, Example 2, and Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Table 2 shows the number of increased pixel defects in Example 3, Example 4, and Comparative Example 4 to Comparative Example 6. For Example 1, there was no increase in pixel defects. On the other hand, in Example 2, only one increase in pixel defects was confirmed. In Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 3, an increase in 10 or more pixel defects was confirmed, and as the thickness H of the first electrode 20 was smaller than the maximum depth D of the unevenness on the surface of the planarization layer 14, the increased pixels were observed. The number of defects has increased.

 [0158] In Example 3, there was no increase in pixel defects. On the other hand, in Example 4, only two pixel defects were confirmed. In Comparative Examples 4 to 6, in each case, 10 or more pixel defects were confirmed, and the thickness H of the first electrode 20 was smaller than the maximum depth D of the concave / convex surface of the planarizing layer 14! The number of increased pixel defects has increased.

 [0159] According to the first embodiment described above, the first electrode 20 is formed so that the thickness H force of the first electrode 20 is greater than the maximum depth D of the unevenness on the surface of the planarizing layer 14. The ability to reduce pixel defects S

 [0160] (Second embodiment)

 In the second example, the sample device 2 shown in FIG. 4 is used to measure the luminance of light emitted from the concave and convex portions A1 and A2 formed on the surface of the flattening layer 14, thereby flattening. The effect of the maximum depth D on the surface of the organic layer 14 on the organic EL display device was confirmed. FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the sample device 2 used for confirming the influence of the luminance on the organic EL display device by the maximum depth D of the unevenness on the surface of the planarizing layer 14. In addition, a direction L2 in FIG. 4 indicates a light emission direction to the outside of the concave region A1, and a direction L3 indicates a light emission direction to the outside of the convex region A2.

[0161] The sample apparatus 2 was formed so as to cover the glass substrate 11, the metal material 5 provided in a stripe shape on one surface of the glass substrate 11, and the metal material 5, as shown in FIG. Planarization layer 14, a first electrode 20 formed so as to cover the planarization layer 14, an organic layer 30 formed so as to cover the first electrode 20, and a second electrode 50 formed on the surface of the organic layer 30 And.

[0162] The metal material 5 was formed by forming a 1 μm-thick A1 film on one surface of the glass substrate 11 by sputtering, and then forming a stripe pattern with a width and interval of lmm by a photolithography method. did. The planarization layer 14 was formed by applying an acrylic resin to the surface of the glass substrate 11 on which the metal material 5 was formed by spin coating, and then performing a baking treatment. On the surface of the planarizing layer 14, stripe-shaped concaves and convexes are formed corresponding to the metal material 5 formed in a stripe shape.

 [0163] The first electrode 20 was a Ni film, and was formed on the surface of the planarization layer 14 by electron vapor deposition. The thickness D of the first electrode 20 is lOOnm. The organic layer 30 was formed by applying an organic polymer material on the first electrode 20 by a spin coating method and then performing a baking treatment. Although not shown, the second electrode 50 is a laminated film of Ca and A1, and was formed by an electron vapor deposition method using a mask. The second electrode 50 is continuously formed in the adjacent concave and convex regions of the striped irregularities on the surface of the planarizing layer 14. The area of the recessed area A1 where the second electrode 50 is formed is approximately equal to the area of the raised area A2.

 Light emission is extracted in a 2 mm × 2 mm region where the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 50 overlap by applying a voltage between the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 50. That is, the luminance was measured in the region where the second electrode 50 was formed, that is, the concave region A1 and the convex region A2 having approximately the same size. The brightness of the concave region A1 and the convex region A2 can be measured by changing the thickness of the flattening layer 14 so that the maximum depth D of the flattened layer 14 is variously large such that it is 15ηm or more and 380nm or less. A plurality of sample devices 2 having a thickness were used.

FIG. 5 is a graph showing the ratio of the luminance of the concave region A1 and the convex region A2 with respect to the maximum unevenness depth D of the planarization layer 14 obtained in this example. Since the luminance was measured in the concave area A1 and the convex area A2 having approximately the same area, the value of “luminance in the convex area / luminance in the concave area” on the vertical axis is 1.0. S Desirably, the closer the value is to 1.0, the higher the uniformity of the luminance distribution in the concave region A1 and the convex region A2. Therefore, when the maximum depth D of the unevenness of the planarization layer 14 is lOOnm or less, the value of “brightness of the convex region / brightness of the concave region” is 0.9 or more. In these regions Al, A2 The brightness uniformity is relatively high.

 [0166] From the second embodiment shown above, by forming the planarization layer 14 so that the maximum depth of unevenness formed on the surface of the planarization layer 14 is D 1S lOOnm or less, the luminance distribution is uniform. It was found that the property can be improved.

 [0167] (Third example)

 In the third example, the organic EL display devices according to Examples 5 to 7 having the structure of the third embodiment were implemented, and the maximum depth of the unevenness after the unevenness generated on the surface of the first planarization layer was polished. The maximum depth of the unevenness of the second planarization layer formed after the polishing treatment of the first planarization layer was measured using a stylus type step gauge.

 [0168] Further, Table 3 shows the maximum depth of each unevenness after polishing of the first planarization layer for Examples 5 to 7 and Comparative Examples 7 to 8 as test evaluation results of the third example. The required time and the number of scratches, the maximum depth of each unevenness after forming the second planarization layer, the lighting state in the pixel of the organic EL display device, and the number of display defects are shown. Here, ○ in the lighting state in the pixel in Table 3 indicates that the lighting state is good, and X indicates that the lighting state is bad.

 [0169] [Table 3]

[0170] As the surface observation during the polishing treatment of the surface of the first planarizing layer, the number of scratches was confirmed using an optical microscope. The number of scratches generated was the average value of six 2.4 inch panels in a 320mm x 400mm substrate.

[0171] Regarding the lighting state in the pixel of these organic EL display devices, the light and darkness corresponding to the thin film transistor under the pixel electrode was confirmed by observation with an optical microscope. [0172] After these organic EL display devices were lit for 500 hours, the number of display defects was confirmed. The number of display defects was the average of six 2.4 inch panels in a 320mm x 400mm substrate. This OLED display has 320 x 240 pixels in the panel.

 [Example 5]

 In Example 5, a 320 mm × 400 mm substrate on which six 2.4 inch panels were mounted was used. On the substrate on which a plurality of TFTs and signal lines were formed, an acrylic resin was laminated to a thickness of 2 m as a first planarization layer by a spin coating method. When the first planarization layer was formed on the substrate on which the TFT and the signal line were formed, a concavo-convex pattern of 470 nm was generated on the surface. By polishing the unevenness that occurred on the surface of the first planarization layer, the maximum depth of the unevenness was reduced to 50 nm. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the maximum depth of the unevenness with respect to the polishing time in the CMP method of the planarization layer in Example 5.

 [0174] In this example, CMP was used as the unevenness polishing process of the first planarization layer, and the polishing time required 10 minutes. Above the first planarization layer, which has been polished to reduce the maximum depth of unevenness on the surface, the second planarization layer is laminated with an acrylic resin having a thickness of 2 ^ 111 in the same manner as the first planarization layer. Layered. Other than these, an organic EL display device was fabricated in the same manner as in Embodiment 3 above.

 [0175] In the organic EL display device of Example 5, the number of occurrences of scratch was 1 and almost no influence on light emission was observed, and the luminance distribution that affected the unevenness under the pixel electrode was not confirmed. As a result, the increase in the number of pixel defects was 0, and the lighting state in the pixel was also good. This is because polishing is performed until the maximum depth of unevenness on the surface of the first planarization layer reaches 50 nm, and the maximum depth of unevenness after the formation of the second planarization layer is set to 27 nm. This is because the planarization layer can be made almost flat, the luminance distribution due to the unevenness on the planarization layer can be reduced, and the film thickness distribution of the organic layer on the pixel electrode can be improved. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a high-quality organic EL display device with few display defects with high productivity and high yield.

 [0176] (Example 6)

In Example 6, the maximum depth of the unevenness was reduced to lOOnm by polishing the unevenness generated on the surface of the first planarization layer. The polishing time required 5 minutes. Other than above An organic EL display device was produced in the same manner as in Example 5.

 [0177] In the organic EL display device of Example 6, the number of scratches was 0, and the luminance distribution that affected the unevenness under the pixel electrode was not confirmed. As a result, there was no increase in the number of pixel defects, and the lighting state in the pixel was also good. This is performed by polishing until the maximum depth of the unevenness on the surface of the first planarizing layer reaches 100 ηm, and the maximum depth of the unevenness after forming the second planarizing layer is set to 42 nm. This is because a certain leveling layer can be made almost flat, the luminance distribution due to unevenness on the leveling layer can be reduced, and the film thickness distribution of the organic layer on the pixel electrode can be improved. Therefore, according to the present invention, it can be seen that a high-quality organic EL display device with few display defects can be manufactured with high productivity, high productivity, and high yield.

 [Example 7]

 In Example 7, the maximum depth of the unevenness was reduced to 200 nm by polishing the unevenness generated on the surface of the first planarization layer. The polishing time took 2 minutes. An organic EL display device was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 5 except for the above.

 [0179] In the organic EL display device of Example 7, the number of scratches was 0, and the luminance distribution that affected the unevenness under the pixel electrode was not confirmed. As a result, the increase in the number of pixel defects was 1, and the lighting state in the pixels was good. This is because the polishing process is performed until the maximum depth of the unevenness on the surface of the first planarization layer becomes lOOnm, and the maximum depth of the unevenness after the formation of the second planarization layer is set to 80 nm. This is because the planarization layer can be made almost flat, the luminance distribution due to the unevenness on the planarization layer can be reduced, and the film thickness distribution of the organic layer on the pixel electrode can be improved. Therefore, according to the present invention, it can be seen that a high-quality organic EL display device with few display defects can be manufactured with high productivity, high productivity, and high yield.

 [0180] (Comparative Example 7)

In Comparative Example 7, the maximum depth of the irregularities was reduced to 30 nm by polishing the irregularities generated on the surface of the first planarization layer. The polishing time required 20 minutes. This is a polishing time more than twice that of Examples 5 to 7 described above, and the productivity is remarkably inferior. As shown in Fig. 7, when the unevenness is less than 50 nm, the polishing time becomes extremely long because the unevenness change tends to be particularly small. Except for the above, an organic EL display device was produced in the same manner as in Example 1. [0181] In the organic EL display device of Comparative Example 7, when the first planarization layer was polished, 10 scratches were generated on the film surface, and an increase in the number of display defects of 16 pixels was observed. . This is because scratching did not become a problem when polishing to 50 nm in Example 1 with respect to the generation of scratches on the film surface, but the required time twice that for polishing to 50 nm was taken. This is thought to be due to the fact that the load on the film surface increased and a large number of relatively deep and large scratches were generated. The increase in the number of display defects is considered to be evidence that the maximum depth of irregularities exceeds lOOnm even after the second planarization layer is formed on the film surface where scratches are generated. Since the thickness of each layer is less than lOOnm in the organic EL part, when the first electrode is formed on the unevenness exceeding 10 Onm, the defect of the first electrode caused by the unevenness is lOOnm above it. The following effects on the thin organic layer are significant, which is thought to have led to an increase in the number of display defects. The organic EL display device of Comparative Example 1 left problems in terms of productivity and yield.

 [0182] (Comparative Example 8)

 In Comparative Example 8, the maximum depth of the unevenness was reduced to 300 nm by polishing the unevenness that occurred on the surface of the first planarization layer. The polishing time took 1 minute. Except for the above, an organic EL display device was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 3.

 [0183] In the organic EL display device of Comparative Example 8, brightness and darkness corresponding to the TFT under the pixel electrode was confirmed in the lighting state in the pixel, and an increase in the number of display defects of 9 pixels was observed. For the light and darkness corresponding to the TFT under the pixel electrode, the maximum depth of the unevenness after the second planarization layer formation exceeds 1 OOnm, resulting in a film thickness distribution in the organic layer formed on the pixel electrode. It is considered that the luminance distribution corresponding to the unevenness under the pixel electrode was generated in the pixel. In addition, when the first electrode is formed on the unevenness exceeding 100 nm, a defect is easily generated on the first electrode due to the unevenness, and the thin organic layer of less than lOOnm above it is affected by the defect of the first electrode. Therefore, it is considered that the number of display defects has been increased. The organic EL display device of Comparative Example 8 left problems with display quality and reliability.

 Industrial applicability
