An electroluminescence display is disclosed that comprises: a pixel; a low-resistance line at one side of the pixel and having a connection part; an insulating layer on the low-resistance line; a low-resistance connecting terminal on the insulating layer and connected to the connection part; a passivation layer on the low-resistance connecting terminal; a planarization layer on the passivation layer; a cathode contact hole exposing a portion of the low-resistance connecting terminal. The low-resistance line includes an open area overlapping with a middle portion of the low-resistance connecting terminal at the connection part. The low-resistance connecting terminal connects to a first side and a second side of the low-resistance connecting terminal. The cathode electrode is connnected to the low-resistance connecting terminal via the cathode contact hole.

An electroluminescent display device can include a substrate divided into a plurality of sub-pixels having an opening area and a non-opening area, a planarization layer disposed on the substrate, an anode disposed on the planarization layer, and a bank disposed on the anode and the planarization layer, the bank having an opening exposing a portion of the anode in the opening area. The electroluminescent display device has a light emitting unit disposed on the portion of the anode; a cathode disposed on the light emitting unit and the bank. A deposition blocking layer is disposed on the cathode in a portion of the non-opening area and the opening area, and a reflective layer disposed on the cathode in another portion of the non-opening area, in which the reflective layer does not overlap with the deposition blocking layer.

There has been a problem that difference in refractive index between an opposite substrate or a moisture barrier layer provided thereover, and air is maintained large, and light extraction efficiency is low. Further, there has been a problem that peeling or cracking due to the moisture barrier layer is easily generated, which leads to deteriorate the reliability and lifetime of a light-emitting element. A light-emitting element comprises a pixel electrode, an electroluminescent layer, a transparent electrode, a passivation film, a stress relieving layer, and a low refractive index layer, all of which are stacked sequentially. The stress relieving layer serves to prevent peeling of the passivation film. The low refractive index layer serves to reduce reflectivity of light generated in the electroluminescent layer in emitting to air. Therefore, a light-emitting element with high reliability and long lifetime and a display device using the light-emitting element can be provided.

A highly reliable display device. A first flexible substrate and a second flexible substrate overlap each other with an element positioned therebetween. A periphery of the overlapped first and second substrates is covered with a high molecular material having a light-transmitting property. The high molecular material is more flexible than the first substrate and the second substrate. As the element, for example, an EL element can be used.

The present disclosure provides a top emitting organic electroluminescent device including a first scattering layer, and a first electrode, at least one organic material layer, a second electrode and a second scattering layer formed on the first scattering layer sequentially. The first scattering layer contains a plurality of micro-particles that are 10 to 90 wt % of the first scattering layer.

An electroluminescent device including a lower substrate; a lower structure including an inorganic multilayer; and an upper encapsulation structure, in which the lower structure includes a display region inside an outline of the inorganic multilayer, and a light transmitting region having a non-through-hole structure having at least a portion surrounded by the display region; the lower structure has an inorganic surface portion surrounding the display and light transmitting regions, the upper encapsulation structure has an inorganic lower surface forming an inorganic-inorganic encapsulation contact region; the electroluminescent device does not have a hole formed through both the lower substrate and the lower structure, a portion of the upper encapsulation structure corresponding to the light transmitting region is not removed, and the portion of the upper encapsulation structure is surrounded by the inorganic-inorganic encapsulation contact region; and a portion of the semi-transparent electrode corresponding to the light transmitting region is not present.

An EL display having high operating performance and reliability is provided. LDD regions 15a through 15d of a switching TFT 201 formed in a pixel are formed such that they do not overlap gate electrodes 19a and 19b to provide a structure which is primarily intended for the reduction of an off-current. An LDD region 22 of a current control TFT 202 is formed such that it partially overlaps a gate electrode 35 to provide a structure which is primarily intended for the prevention of hot carrier injection and the reduction of an off-current. Appropriate TFT structures are thus provided depending on required functions to improve operational performance and reliability.

There is provided a display device including: a light emitting element; and a drive transistor (DRTr) that includes a coupling section (W1) and a plurality of channel sections (CH) coupled in series through the coupling section (W1), wherein the drive transistor (DRTr) is configured to supply a drive current to the light emitting element.
