Provided is a display device 100 that includes a display panel having flexibility (an organic EL panel 1 as an example), and an optical member 2 having flexibility, arranged so as to be stacked on the display panel, wherein the display panel and the optical member 2 are stacked and bonded in a bent state, and thereafter stretched into a flat shape.

A display device according to the present disclosure has a resonator structure in which a light reflector and a semi-transmissive plate are disposed at a distance that differs for each luminescent color. In this resonator structure, a light-emitting function layer including a light-emitting layer, a transparent cathode electrode, and a protective film that protects the cathode electrode are laminated in order between the light reflector and the semi-transmissive plate. In addition, the semi-transmissive plate is formed on the protective film.

A display device includes a substrate including a display configured to display an image and a non-display area disposed on at least one side of the display area. A plurality of pixels is disposed in the display area. An organic insulating layer is disposed on the substrate. A pixel defining layer is disposed on the organic insulating layer. A sealing layer at least partially covers the display area and the non-display area and includes an inorganic material. The organic insulating layer and the pixel defining layer have a valley disposed therein. The valley is formed by removing portions of the organic insulating layer and the pixel defining layer along a circumference of the display area.

Methods for forming an OLED device are described. An encapsulation structure having organic buffer layer sandwiched between barrier layers is deposited over an OLED structure. The buffer layer is formed with a fluorine-containing plasma. The second barrier layer is then deposited over the buffer layer. Additionally, to ensure good adhesion, a buffer adhesion layer is formed between the buffer layer and the first barrier layer. Finally, to ensure good transmittance, a stress reduction layer is deposited between the buffer layer and the second barrier layer.

An optical scattering layer (10) comprising a birefringent matrix material (11) and a plurality of scattering particles (12) dispersed in the matrix material (11). The scattering particles (12) have a particle refractive index (“np”) that for visible light matches the ordinary refractive index (“no”). By matching the refractive index of the scattering particles with one of the refractive indices of the birefringent matrix material, anisotropic scattering is obtained.
