Description

  The present invention relates to a light emitting element such as an EL (electroluminescence) element or an LED (light emitting diode) element that emits light when a driving current flows through an organic semiconductor film, and a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as TFT) that controls the light emitting operation of the light emitting element. )) And an active matrix display device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a layout optimization technique for improving the display characteristics.

  An active matrix display device using a current-controlled light emitting element such as an EL element or an LED element has been proposed. Since all of the light emitting elements used in this type of display device self-emit, unlike a liquid crystal display device, there is an advantage that a backlight is not required and the viewing angle dependency is small.

  FIG. 22 shows a block diagram of an active matrix display device using a charge injection type organic thin film EL element as an example of such a display device. In the display device 1A shown in this figure, on a transparent substrate, a plurality of scanning lines gate, a plurality of data lines sig extending in a direction intersecting with the extending direction of these scanning lines gate, and these A plurality of common power supply lines com parallel to the data lines sig and pixels 7 corresponding to the intersections of the data lines sig and the scanning lines gate are configured. For the data line sig, a data side driving circuit 3 including a shift register, a level shifter, a video line, and an analog switch is configured. For the scanning lines, a scanning side drive circuit 4 including a shift register and a level shifter is configured. Further, each pixel 7 has a first TFT 20 to which a scanning signal is supplied to the gate electrode via the scanning line, and an image signal supplied from the data line sig via the first TFT 20. When the capacitor cap, the second TFT 30 to which the image signal held by the holding capacitor cap is supplied to the gate electrode, and the second TFT 30 are electrically connected to the common feeder line com, the common feeder line com The light emitting element 40 into which a drive current flows from is comprised.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 23A and 23B, in each pixel 7, the first TFT 20 and the second TFT 30 are formed using two island-shaped semiconductor films, and the second TFT A relay electrode 35 is electrically connected to the source / drain region of the TFT 30 through a contact hole in the first interlayer insulating film 51, and the relay electrode 35 is connected to the source / drain region through a contact hole in the second interlayer insulating film 52. Thus, the pixel electrode 41 is electrically connected. On the upper layer side of the pixel electrode 41, a hole injection layer 42, an organic semiconductor film 43, and a counter electrode op are stacked. Here, the counter electrode op is formed over the plurality of pixels 7 across the data line sig and the like. Note that a common power supply line com is electrically connected to the source / drain region of the second TFT 30 through a contact hole.

  On the other hand, in the first TFT 20, the potential holding electrode st that is electrically connected to the source / drain region is electrically connected to the extended portion 310 of the gate electrode 31. The semiconductor film 400 is opposed to the extended portion 310 on the lower layer side through the gate insulating film 50, and the semiconductor film 400 is made conductive by the impurities introduced therein. The storage capacitor cap is configured together with 310 and the gate insulating film 50. Here, the common power supply line com is electrically connected to the semiconductor film 400 through the contact hole of the first interlayer insulating film 51. Therefore, since the storage capacitor cap holds the image signal supplied from the data line sig via the first TFT 20, even if the first TFT 20 is turned off, the gate electrode 31 of the second TFT 30 is not connected to the image signal. Is held at a potential corresponding to. Therefore, since the drive current continues to flow from the common power supply line com to the light emitting element 40, the light emitting element 40 continues to emit light.

  However, the display device 1A has a problem in that the display quality cannot be improved because the pixels 7 are narrower than the liquid crystal display device because the second TFT 30 and the common power supply line com are necessary. .

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a display device that can improve the display quality by improving the layout of pixels and common power supply lines formed on a substrate to expand the light emitting region of the pixels.

The display device of the present invention includes a plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of data lines extending in a direction intersecting with the plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of common power supply lines, the plurality of data lines, and the plurality of scannings.

In the display device of the present invention, in the above display device, the potentials of the counter electrodes in the two pixels are set to have opposite polarities when the potentials of the plurality of common power supply lines are used as a reference. It is characterized by that.
The display device of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above display device, the first transistor provided in each of the two pixels is formed with different conductivity types.
The display device of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above display device, the second transistor provided in each of the two pixels is formed with different conductivity types.
In the display device of the present invention, in the above display device, the image signals supplied to the two pixels are set to have opposite polarities when the potentials of the plurality of common power supply lines are used as a reference. It is characterized by.
In the display device according to the aspect of the invention, in the display device, the driving is performed on two columns of pixels arranged along the one common power supply line on both sides of the one common power supply line. A current is supplied, and the light emitting elements in the two columns of pixels are driven by driving currents having opposite polarities.
In the display device of the present invention, in the display device described above, the polarity of the drive current in each pixel is the same in the extending direction of the plurality of data lines, and in the extending direction of the plurality of scanning lines, It is characterized in that the polarity of the drive current in the pixel is reversed every two pixels.
The display device of the present invention is characterized in that, in the display device described above, the polarity of the drive current in the pixel is inverted for each pixel in the extending direction of the plurality of data lines. .
In the display device of the present invention, in the display device, the polarity of the drive current in each pixel is the same in the extending direction of the plurality of scanning lines, and in the extending direction of the plurality of data lines, It is characterized in that the polarity of the drive current in the pixel is inverted every two pixels.
The display device of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above display device, the counter electrode is composed of a plurality of counter electrodes provided in common to two pixels driven by a drive current having the same polarity. To do.
In the display device of the present invention, in the display device described above, the polarity of the drive current in the pixel is inverted for each pixel in the extending direction of the plurality of scanning lines and the extending direction of the plurality of data lines. It is characterized by being comprised.

  That is, according to the present invention, a data line, a pixel group connected to the data line, a common power supply line, a pixel group connected to the data line, and a data line for supplying a pixel signal to the pixel group are regarded as one unit. Since it repeats in the extending direction, the pixels for two columns are driven by one common power supply line. Therefore, compared with the case where a common power supply line is formed for each pixel group in one column, the area where the common power supply line is formed can be narrowed, so that the light emission area of the pixel can be expanded accordingly. Therefore, display performance such as luminance and contrast ratio can be improved.

  In such a configuration, for example, the first thin film transistor, the second thin film transistor, and the light emitting element are connected to the common power supply line between two pixels arranged so as to sandwich the common power supply line. It is preferable to arrange them symmetrically about the center.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the pitches of the centers of the regions where the organic semiconductor film is formed are equal between any pixels adjacent along the extending direction of the scanning lines. Such a configuration is convenient for forming the organic semiconductor film by discharging the organic semiconductor film material from the inkjet head. That is, since the center pitches of the organic semiconductor film formation regions are equal, the material of the organic semiconductor film may be ejected from the inkjet head at equal intervals. This simplifies the movement control mechanism of the inkjet head and improves the positional accuracy.

  The formation region of the organic semiconductor film is surrounded by a bank layer made of an insulating film thicker than the organic semiconductor film, and the bank layer covers the data line and the common power supply line with the same width dimension. It is preferable that it is comprised. With this configuration, when the organic semiconductor film is formed by the ink jet method, the bank layer prevents the organic semiconductor film from protruding to the periphery, so that the organic semiconductor film can be formed in a predetermined region. In addition, since the bank layer covers the data line and the common power supply line with the same width dimension, the pitch of the center of the region where the organic semiconductor film is formed between any adjacent pixels along the extending direction of the scanning line Is suitable for equalization. Here, the counter electrode is formed over at least almost the entire surface of the pixel region or over a wide area in a stripe shape, and is in a state of facing the data line. Therefore, a large capacitance is parasitic on the data line as it is. However, according to the present invention, since the bank layer is interposed between the data line and the counter electrode, it is possible to prevent the capacitance formed between the data line and the counter electrode from parasitic on the data line. As a result, the load on the data side driving circuit can be reduced, so that the power consumption can be reduced or the display operation speed can be increased.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that a wiring layer is formed at a position corresponding to two data lines passing through the opposite side of the common power supply line with respect to the pixel. If two data lines are arranged in parallel, there is a risk of crosstalk occurring between these data lines. However, in the present invention, a wiring layer different from the two data lines passes between the two data lines. Therefore, such a wiring layer is set at a fixed potential within at least one horizontal scanning period of the image. Can prevent crosstalk.

  In this case, it is preferable that the sampling of the image signal is performed at the same timing between two adjacent data lines among the plurality of data lines. With this configuration, the potential change at the time of sampling occurs simultaneously between the two data lines, so that it is possible to more reliably prevent the crosstalk from occurring between these data lines.

  In the present invention, the plurality of pixels that are energized with the drive current between the same common power supply lines have substantially the same number of two types of pixels that are driven by the drive current with the polarity reversed. It is preferably included.

  With this configuration, the drive current flowing from the common power supply line to the pixel and the drive current flowing from the pixel to the common power supply line are canceled out, and the drive current flowing through the common power supply line can be small. Therefore, since the common power supply line can be made thinner, the display area for the panel outer shape can be expanded. In addition, luminance unevenness caused by a difference in driving current can be eliminated.

  For example, the polarity of the drive current in each pixel is the same in the extending direction of the data line, and the polarity of the drive current in each pixel is reversed every pixel or every two pixels in the extending direction of the scanning line. Configure. Alternatively, the polarity of the driving current in each pixel is the same in the extending direction of the scanning line, and the polarity of the driving current in each pixel is reversed every pixel or every two pixels in the extending direction of the data line. It may be configured. Among these forms, when the polarity of the drive current is inverted every two pixels, the counter electrode may be shared between adjacent pixels for the pixel through which the drive current of the same polarity flows. Therefore, the number of slits in the counter electrode can be reduced. That is, polarity inversion can be realized without increasing the resistance value of the counter electrode through which a large current flows.

  Further, the polarity of the drive current in each pixel may be reversed for each pixel in any of the extending direction of the scanning lines and the extending direction of the data lines.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Embodiment 1]
(Overall configuration of active matrix substrate)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the entire layout of a display device, and FIG. 2 is an equivalent circuit diagram of an active matrix configured therewith.

  As shown in this figure, in the display device 1 of the present embodiment, the central portion of the transparent substrate 10 as the base is the display unit 2. Of the outer peripheral portion of the transparent substrate 10, the data side drive circuit 3 and the inspection circuit 5 that output image signals are configured at both ends of the data line sig, and scanning that outputs a scanning signal at both ends of the scanning line gate. A side drive circuit 4 is configured. In these drive circuits 3 and 4, a complementary TFT is constituted by an N-type TFT and a P-type TFT, and this complementary TFT constitutes a shift register, a level shifter, an analog switch, and the like. On the transparent substrate 10, a mounting pad 6 serving as a terminal group for inputting an image signal, various potentials, and a pulse signal is formed in the outer peripheral area of the data side driving circuit 3.

(Common feed line and pixel arrangement)
In the display device 1, similarly to the active matrix substrate of the liquid crystal display device, a plurality of scanning lines gate and a plurality of data extended in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the scanning lines gate on the transparent substrate 10. Lines sig are formed, and as shown in FIG. 2, pixels 7 formed in a matrix are formed by these data lines sig and scanning lines gate.

  Each of these pixels 7 includes a first TFT 20 in which a scanning signal is supplied to the gate electrode 21 (first gate electrode) via the scanning line gate. One of the source / drain regions of the TFT 20 is electrically connected to the data line sig, and the other is electrically connected to the potential holding electrode st. A capacitance line cline is arranged in parallel with the scanning line gate, and a holding capacitance cap is formed between the capacitance line cline and the potential holding electrode st. Therefore, when the first TFT 20 is selected by the scanning signal and turned on, the image signal is written from the data line sig to the storage capacitor cap via the first TFT 20.

  A gate electrode 31 (second gate electrode) of the second TFT 30 is electrically connected to the potential holding electrode st. One of the source / drain regions of the TFT 30 is electrically connected to the common power supply line com, and the other is electrically connected to one electrode (a pixel electrode described later) of the light emitting element 40. The common power supply line com is held at a constant potential. Therefore, when the second TFT 30 is turned on, the current of the common power supply line com flows through the TFT to the light emitting element 40 and causes the light emitting element 40 to emit light.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of pixels 7 to which drive current is supplied to and from the common power supply line com are arranged on both sides of the common power supply line com, and these pixels 7 are opposite to the common power supply line com. Two data lines sig pass through the side. That is, a data line sig, a pixel group connected to the data line, a single common power supply line com, a pixel group connected to the data line sig, and a data line sig that supplies a pixel signal to the pixel group as one unit are used as a unit of the scanning line gate. It repeats in the extending direction, and the common power supply line com supplies a drive current to the pixels 7 for two columns. Therefore, in this embodiment, between the two pixels 7 arranged so as to sandwich the common power supply line com, the first TFT 20, the second TFT 30, and the light emitting element 40 are symmetrical with respect to the common power supply line com. The electrical connection between these elements and each wiring layer is facilitated.

  In this way, in this embodiment, since pixels for two columns are driven by one common power supply line com, the common power supply line com is compared with the case where the common power supply line com is formed for each pixel group of one column. , And a gap secured between the common power supply line com and the data line sig formed between the same layers is unnecessary. Therefore, since the area for wiring on the transparent substrate 10 can be narrowed, the proportion of the light emitting area in each pixel area can be increased correspondingly, and the display performance such as luminance and contrast ratio can be improved. Can do.

  Since two columns of pixels are connected to one common power supply line com in this way, two data lines sig are in parallel, and an image signal is output to the pixel group of each column. Will be supplied.

(Pixel configuration)
The structure of each pixel 7 of the display device 1 configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6A.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view showing three pixels 7 among the plurality of pixels 7 formed in the display device 1 of the present embodiment, and FIGS. 4, 5 and 6A are respectively It is the sectional view in the AA 'line, the sectional view in the BB' line, and the sectional view in the CC 'line.

  First, at a position corresponding to the line AA ′ in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 4, an island-shaped silicon film for forming the first TFT 20 on each pixel 7 on the transparent substrate 10. 200 is formed, and a gate insulating film 50 is formed on the surface thereof. A gate electrode 21 (a part of the scanning line gate) is formed on the surface of the gate insulating film 50, and source / drain regions 22 and 23 are formed in a self-aligned manner with respect to the gate electrode 21. A first interlayer insulating film 51 is formed on the surface side of the gate insulating film 50, and the data lines sig and the source / drain regions 22 and 23 are connected to the source / drain regions 22 and 23 through contact holes 61 and 62 formed in the interlayer insulating film. And the potential holding electrode st are electrically connected to each other.

  In each pixel 7, a capacitor line cline is formed between the scanning line gate and the gate electrode 21 (between the gate insulating film 50 and the first interlayer insulating film 51) so as to be in parallel with the scanning line gate. In addition, the extended portion st1 of the potential holding electrode st overlaps the capacitor line cline via the first interlayer insulating film 51. For this reason, the capacitor line cline and the extended portion st1 of the potential holding electrode st constitute a holding capacitor cap using the first interlayer insulating film 51 as a dielectric film. A second interlayer insulating film 52 is formed on the surface side of the potential holding electrode st and the data line sig.

  At a position corresponding to the line BB ′ in FIG. 3, each pixel 7 is formed on the surface of the first interlayer insulating film 51 and the second interlayer insulating film 52 formed on the transparent substrate 10 as shown in FIG. Two data lines sig corresponding to are in parallel.

  In the position corresponding to the line CC ′ in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 6A, the second substrate 7 is formed on the transparent substrate 10 so as to straddle the two pixels 7 sandwiching the common power supply line com. An island-like silicon film 300 for forming the TFT 30 is formed, and a gate insulating film 50 is formed on the surface thereof. On the surface of the gate insulating film 50, a gate electrode 31 is formed in each of the pixels 7 so as to sandwich the common power supply line com, and source / drain regions 32 and 33 are formed in a self-aligned manner on the gate electrode 31. Has been. A first interlayer insulating film 51 is formed on the surface side of the gate insulating film 50, and the relay electrode 35 is electrically connected to the source / drain region 62 through a contact hole 63 formed in the interlayer insulating film. ing. On the other hand, the common power supply line com is electrically connected to the central portion of the silicon film 300 via the contact hole 64 of the first interlayer insulating film 51 for the portion that becomes the common source / drain region 33 in the two pixels 7. Connected. A second interlayer insulating film 52 is formed on the surface of the common power supply line com and the relay electrode 35. A pixel electrode 41 made of an ITO film is formed on the surface side of the second interlayer insulating film 52. The pixel electrode 41 is electrically connected to the relay electrode 35 via a contact hole 65 formed in the second interlayer insulating film 52, and the source / drain region 32 of the second TFT 30 is connected via the relay electrode 35. Is electrically connected.

  Here, the pixel electrode 41 constitutes one electrode of the light emitting element 40. That is, the hole injection layer 42 and the organic semiconductor film 43 are laminated on the surface of the pixel electrode 41, and the counter electrode op made of a metal film such as lithium-containing aluminum or calcium is formed on the surface of the organic semiconductor film 43. ing. The counter electrode op is a common electrode formed at least on the pixel region or in a stripe shape, and is held at a constant potential.

  In the light emitting element 40 configured as described above, a voltage is applied with the counter electrode op and the pixel electrode 41 as the positive electrode and the negative electrode, respectively, and as shown in FIG. 7, in the region where the applied voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the organic semiconductor The current (drive current) flowing through the film 43 increases rapidly. As a result, the light emitting element 40 emits light as an electroluminescence element or an LED element, and the light of the light emitting element 40 is reflected by the counter electrode op, and is emitted through the transparent pixel electrode 41 and the transparent substrate 10.

  The driving current for performing such light emission flows through a current path including the counter electrode op, the organic semiconductor film 43, the hole injection layer 42, the pixel electrode 41, the second TFT 30, and the common feeder line com. When the second TFT 30 is turned off, it stops flowing. In the display device 1 of this embodiment, when the first TFT 20 is selected by the scanning signal and turned on, an image signal is written from the data line sig to the storage capacitor cap via the first TFT 20. Accordingly, the gate electrode of the second TFT 30 is held at the potential corresponding to the image signal by the storage capacitor cap even when the first TFT 20 is turned off, so that the second TFT 30 remains on. . Therefore, a driving current continues to flow through the light emitting element 40, and this pixel remains in a lighting state. This state is maintained until new image data is written in the storage capacitor cap and the second TFT 30 is turned off.

(Manufacturing method of display device)
In the manufacturing method of the display device 1 configured as described above, the steps until the first TFT 20 and the second TFT 30 are manufactured on the transparent substrate 10 are substantially the same as the steps of manufacturing the active matrix substrate of the liquid crystal display device 1. Therefore, the outline will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a process cross-sectional view schematically showing a process of forming each component of the display device 1.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, the transparent substrate 10 has a thickness of about 2000 to 5000 angstroms by plasma CVD using TEOS (tetraethoxysilane) or oxygen gas as a raw material gas as necessary. A base protective film (not shown) made of a silicon oxide film is formed. Next, the temperature of the substrate is set to about 350 ° C., and a semiconductor film 100 made of an amorphous silicon film having a thickness of about 300 to 700 Å is formed on the surface of the base protective film by plasma CVD. Next, a crystallization process such as laser annealing or solid phase growth is performed on the semiconductor film 100 made of an amorphous silicon film to crystallize the semiconductor film 100 into a polysilicon film. In the laser annealing method, for example, a line beam having a long beam shape of 400 mm is used with an excimer laser, and its output intensity is, for example, 200 mJ / cm ² . As for the line beam, the line beam is scanned so that a portion corresponding to 90% of the peak value of the laser intensity in the short dimension direction overlaps each region.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8B, the semiconductor film 100 is patterned to form island-shaped semiconductor films 200 and 300, and TEOS (tetraethoxysilane), oxygen gas, or the like is used as a source gas on the surface. A gate insulating film 50 made of a silicon oxide film or nitride film having a thickness of about 600 to 1500 angstroms is formed by plasma CVD.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8C, a conductive film made of a metal film such as aluminum, tantalum, molybdenum, titanium, or tungsten is formed by a sputtering method, and then patterned to form a gate as a part of the scan line gate. Electrodes 21 and 31 are formed. In this step, a capacitor line cline is also formed. In the figure, reference numeral 310 denotes an extended portion of the gate electrode 31.

  In this state, high concentration phosphorous ions or boron ions are implanted to form source / drain regions 22, 23, 32, 33 in the silicon thin films 200, 300 in a self-aligned manner with respect to the gate electrodes 21, 31. Note that portions where impurities are not introduced become channel regions 27 and 37.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8D, after forming the first interlayer insulating film 51, contact holes 61, 62, 63, 64, and 69 are formed, and the data line sig, the capacitor line cline, and the gate electrode are formed. The potential holding electrode st, the common power supply line com, and the relay electrode 35 including the extended portion st1 overlapping the 31 extended portion 310 are formed. As a result, the potential holding electrode st is electrically connected to the gate electrode 31 through the contact hole 69 and the extended portion 310. In this way, the first TFT 20 and the second TFT 30 are formed. In addition, the storage capacitor cap is formed by the capacitor line cline and the extended portion st1 of the potential holding electrode st.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8E, a second interlayer insulating film 52 is formed, and a contact hole 65 is formed in the interlayer insulating film at a portion corresponding to the relay electrode 35. Next, after forming an ITO film on the entire surface of the second interlayer insulating film 52, patterning is performed, and the pixel electrode 41 electrically connected to the source / drain region 32 of the second TFT 30 through the contact hole 65 is formed. Form.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8F, after forming a black resist layer on the surface side of the second interlayer insulating film 52, this resist is used as the hole injection layer 42 and the organic semiconductor film 43 of the light emitting element 40. Is left so as to surround a region to be formed, and a bank layer bank is formed. Here, the organic semiconductor film 43 has a bank shape corresponding to any shape, such as when formed independently for each pixel, or when formed in a stripe shape along the data line sig. The manufacturing method according to this embodiment can be applied only by forming the layer bank.

  Next, a liquid material (precursor) for forming the hole injection layer 42 is discharged from the inkjet head IJ to the inner region of the bank layer bank, and the hole injection layer 42 is injected into the inner region of the bank layer bank. Form. Similarly, a liquid material (precursor) for forming the organic semiconductor film 43 is ejected from the inkjet head IJ to the inner region of the bank layer bank to form the organic semiconductor film 43 in the inner region of the bank layer bank. To do. Here, since the bank layer bank is made of a resist, it is water repellent. On the other hand, since the precursor of the organic semiconductor film 43 mainly uses a hydrophilic solvent, the application region of the organic semiconductor film 43 is reliably defined by the bank layer bank and does not protrude into adjacent pixels. .

  In the case where the organic semiconductor film 43 and the hole injection layer 42 are formed by the ink jet method in this way, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The pitches P of the centers of the regions where the organic semiconductor film 43 is formed are made equal between any pixels 7 adjacent along the extending direction. Therefore, as indicated by the arrow Q, the material of the organic semiconductor film 43 and the like may be ejected from the inkjet head IJ to the positions at equal intervals along the extending direction of the scanning line gate. . In addition, the movement control mechanism of the inkjet head IJ is simplified, and the driving position accuracy is also improved.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8G, the counter electrode op is formed on the surface side of the transparent substrate 10. Here, the counter electrode op is formed at least on the entire surface of the pixel region or in a stripe shape. However, when the counter electrode op is formed in a stripe shape, a metal film is formed on the entire surface of the transparent substrate 10, and then Are patterned into stripes.

  Since the bank layer bank is made of a black resist, it is left as it is and used as a black matrix BM and an insulating layer for reducing parasitic capacitance as described below.

  TFTs are also formed in the data side driving circuit 3 and the scanning side driving circuit 4 shown in FIG. 1, and these TFTs are implemented by using all or part of the process of forming the TFTs on the pixels 7. Is called. Therefore, the TFT constituting the driving circuit is also formed between the same layers as the TFT of the pixel 7.

  The first TFT 20 and the second TFT 30 may both be N-type, both P-type, one N-type, and the other P-type. However, since the TFT can be formed by a known method, the description thereof is omitted.

(Bank layer formation region)
In this embodiment, the bank layer bank (formation area is hatched) is formed for all the peripheral areas of the transparent substrate 10 shown in FIG. Therefore, both the data side driving circuit 3 and the scanning side driving circuit 4 are covered with the bank layer bank. For this reason, even if the counter electrode op overlaps the formation region of these drive circuits, the bank layer bank is interposed between the wiring layer of the drive circuit and the counter electrode op. Therefore, parasitic capacitance can be prevented in the drive circuits 2 and 3, so that the load on the drive circuits 2 and 3 can be reduced, so that power consumption can be reduced or display operation speed can be increased.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the bank layer bank is formed so as to overlap the data line sig. Accordingly, since the bank layer bank is interposed between the data line sig and the counter electrode op, it is possible to prevent parasitic capacitance from occurring in the data line sig. As a result, the load on the data side drive circuit 3 can be reduced, so that the power consumption can be reduced or the display operation speed can be increased.

  Here, unlike the data line sig, a large current for driving the light emitting element 40 flows through the common power supply line com, and a driving current is supplied to the pixels for two columns. Therefore, for the common power supply line com, the line width is set wider than the line width of the data line sig, and the resistance value per unit length of the common power supply line com is set to the resistance per unit length of the data line sig. It is smaller than the value. Even under such design conditions, in this embodiment, when the bank layer bank is formed so as to overlap with the common power supply line com and the formation region of the organic semiconductor film 43 is defined, the width of the bank layer bank formed here is set. By setting the same width dimension as the bank layer bank overlapping the two data lines sig, as described above, the organic semiconductor film 43 between any of the pixels 7 adjacent along the extending direction of the scanning line gate. It becomes a structure suitable for making the pitch P of the center of the formation area of the same.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6 (A), of the formation region of the pixel electrode 41, the region overlapping the formation region of the first TFT 20 and the formation region of the second TFT 30. Also, the bank layer bank is formed. That is, as shown in FIG. 6B, if the bank layer bank is not formed in the region overlapping the relay electrode 35, even if the driving current flows between the counter electrode op and the organic semiconductor film 43 emits light, This light is not emitted between the relay electrode 35 and the counter electrode op, and does not contribute to display. The driving current that flows in a portion that does not contribute to the display can be said to be a reactive current in terms of display. However, in this embodiment, since the bank layer bank is formed in a portion where such a reactive current should flow and the drive current is prevented from flowing therethrough, it is possible to prevent a wasteful current from flowing through the common power supply line com. Therefore, the width of the common feeder line com may be reduced accordingly.

  Further, if the bank layer bank made of black resist is left as described above, the bank layer bank functions as a black matrix, and the display quality such as luminance and contrast ratio is improved. That is, in the display device 1 according to this embodiment, since the counter electrode op is formed in a stripe shape over the entire surface side of the transparent substrate 10 or over a wide region, the reflected light from the counter electrode op decreases the contrast ratio. However, in the present embodiment, since the bank layer bank having a function of suppressing the parasitic capacitance while defining the formation region of the organic semiconductor film 43 is configured by a black resist, the bank layer bank also functions as a black matrix, and is formed from the counter electrode op. Since the reflected light is blocked, there is an advantage that the contrast ratio is high. In addition, since the light emitting region can be defined in a self-aligned manner using the bank layer bank, the light emission that causes a problem when another metal layer or the like is used as the black matrix without using the bank layer bank as the black matrix. No alignment margin with the area is required.

[Improvement of the above embodiment]
In the above embodiment, the pixels 7 through which a drive current flows between the common power supply line com and the common power supply line com are arranged on both sides of the common power supply line com. Two data lines sig pass in parallel. Accordingly, there is a possibility that crosstalk occurs between the two data lines sig. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9, 10A, and 10B, a dummy wiring layer DA is formed at a position corresponding to between the two data lines sig. As this dummy wiring layer DA, for example, an ITO film DA1 formed simultaneously with the pixel electrode 41 can be used. Further, as the dummy wiring layer DA, an extended portion DA2 from the capacitance line cline may be formed between the two data lines sig. Both of these may be used as the dummy wiring layer DA.

  With such a configuration, a separate wiring layer DA passes between the two parallel data lines sig. Therefore, such a wiring layer DA (DA1, DA2) is scanned at least one horizontal of the image. The above crosstalk can be prevented only by setting a fixed potential within the period. That is, the first interlayer insulating film 51 and the second interlayer insulating film 52 have a film thickness of about 1 μm, whereas the interval between the two data lines sig is about 2 μm or more. Compared to the capacitance configured between the line sig and the dummy wiring layer DA (DA1, DA2), the capacitance configured between the two data lines sig is sufficiently small to be negligible. Therefore, the high-frequency signal leaking from the data line sig is absorbed by the dummy wiring layers DA and DA2, so that crosstalk between the two data lines sig can be prevented.

  In addition, it is preferable to perform sampling of image signals at the same timing between two adjacent data lines sig among the plurality of data lines sig. With this configuration, potential changes during sampling occur simultaneously between the two data lines sig, so that crosstalk between the two data lines sig can be more reliably prevented.

[Another configuration example of storage capacity]
In the above embodiment, the capacitor line cline is formed to form the storage capacitor cap. However, as described in the prior art, the storage capacitor cap is configured using the polysilicon film for forming the TFT. Also good.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, a storage capacitor cap may be formed between the common power supply line com and the potential holding electrode st. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the extended portion 310 of the gate electrode 31 for electrically connecting the potential holding electrode st and the gate electrode 31 is connected to the common feeder line com. The storage capacitor cap may be configured by extending to the lower layer side and using the first interlayer insulating film 51 located between the extended portion 310 and the common power supply line com as a dielectric film.

[Embodiment 2]
In the first embodiment, the light emitting element 40 is driven by the drive current having the same polarity in any of the pixels 7. However, as described below, the light emitting element 40 is connected to the same common power supply line com. The plurality of pixels 7 that are energized with the drive current may include the same number of the two types of pixels 7 that drive the light emitting element 40 with the drive current whose polarity is reversed.

  Such a configuration example will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a configuration in which two types of pixels in which the light emitting element 40 is driven by a drive current having reversed polarity. FIGS. 14 and 15 are explanatory diagrams of a scanning signal, an image signal, a potential of the common power supply line, and a potential of the potential holding electrode when driving the light emitting element 40 with a driving current whose polarity is inverted.

  In both of the present embodiment and the later-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, when the light emitting element 40 is driven by the drive current i with the polarity reversed, the pixel through which the drive current flows from the common feeder line com as indicated by the arrow E In 7A, the first TFT 20 is configured as an n-channel type, and as indicated by an arrow F, in the pixel 7B where a drive current flows toward the common power supply line com, the first TFT 20 is configured as a p-channel type. For this reason, scanning lines gateA and gateB are formed in each of these two types of pixels 7A and 7B. In this embodiment, the second TFT 30 of the pixel 7A is configured as a p-channel type, while the second TFT 30 of the pixel 7B is configured as an n-channel type, and the first TFT 20 is formed in any of the pixels 7A and 7B. And the second TFT 30 are of opposite conductivity type. Therefore, the polarities of the image signals respectively supplied via the data line sigA corresponding to the pixel 7A and the data line sigB corresponding to the pixel 7B are inverted as will be described later.

  Further, since each of the pixels 7A and 7B drives the light emitting element 40 with the drive current i whose polarity is inverted, as described later, the potential of the counter electrode op is also based on the potential of the common power supply line com. Sometimes it needs to be configured to have a reverse polarity. Therefore, the counter electrode op is configured to connect the pixels 7A and 7B through which the drive current i having the same polarity flows, and a predetermined potential is applied to each of the pixels.

  Therefore, in each of FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the waveform of the scanning signal supplied to the pixels 7A and 7B via the scanning lines gateA and gateB, and the image signal supplied via the data lines sigA and sigB. , The potential of the counter electrode op, and the potential of the potential holding electrodes stA and stB are expressed between the pixels 7A and 7B as the reference period with respect to the potential of the common feeder line com. It is set so as to have a reverse polarity in any light extinction period.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the light emitting elements 40A and 40B having different structures are formed in the respective pixels 7A and 7B. That is, in the light emitting element 40A formed in the pixel 7A, the pixel electrode 41 made of an ITO film, the hole injection layer 42, the organic semiconductor film 43, and the counter electrode opA are laminated in this order from the lower layer side to the upper layer side. Yes. On the other hand, the light emitting element 40B formed in the pixel 7B has a pixel electrode 41 made of an ITO film from the lower layer side toward the upper layer side, a lithium-containing aluminum electrode 45 that is thin enough to transmit light, and the organic semiconductor layer 42. The hole injection layer 42, the ITO film layer 46, and the counter electrode opB are stacked in this order. Therefore, even though a drive current having a reverse polarity flows between the light emitting elements 40A and 40B, the structure of the electrode layer in which the hole injection layer 42 and the organic semiconductor layer 42 are in direct contact with each other is the same. The light emission characteristics of 40A and 40B are equivalent.

  In forming these two types of light emitting elements 40A and 40B, both the organic semiconductor film 43 and the hole injection layer 42 are both formed inside the bank layer bank by the ink jet method. The manufacturing process is not complicated. In addition, in the light emitting element 40B, a lithium-containing aluminum electrode 45 and an ITO film layer 46 which are thin enough to have translucency compared to the light emitting element 40A are added, but the lithium-containing aluminum electrode 45 is still a pixel. There is no hindrance to display even if the structure is laminated in the same region as the electrode 41, and there is no hindrance to display even if the ITO film layer 46 is also laminated in the same region as the counter electrode opB. Therefore, the lithium-containing aluminum electrode 45 and the pixel electrode 41 may be patterned separately, but may be patterned in a lump with the same resist mask. Similarly, the ITO film layer 46 and the counter electrode opB may be patterned separately, but may be patterned together with the same resist mask. Of course, the lithium-containing aluminum electrode 45 and the ITO film layer 46 may be formed only in the inner region of the bank layer bank.

  In this manner, the light emitting elements 40A and 40B can be driven with the drive current having the polarity reversed in each of the pixels 7A and 7B, and the two types of pixels 7A and 7B are arranged as shown in FIG. is there. In this figure, the pixels marked with a sign (-) correspond to the pixels 7A described in FIGS. 13, 14, and 16, and the pixels marked with a sign (+) are shown in FIGS. This corresponds to the pixel 7B described in FIG. In FIG. 17, the scanning lines gateA and gate and the data lines sigA and sigB are not shown.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in this embodiment, the polarity of the drive current in each pixel is the same in the extending direction of the data lines sigA and sigB, and the polarity of the drive current in each pixel is in the extending direction of the scanning lines gateA and gateB. Each pixel is inverted. Note that, as indicated by the alternate long and short dash lines, the regions where the counter electrodes opA and opB corresponding to each pixel are formed are connected to each other so that the pixels 7A and 7B through which drive currents having the same polarity flow are connected to each other. It is configured. That is, the counter electrodes opA and opB are separately formed in stripes along the extending direction of the data lines sigA and sigB, and each of the counter electrodes opA and opB has the potential of the common power supply line com as a reference. A negative potential and a positive potential are applied to.

  Therefore, drive currents i in the directions indicated by arrows E and F in FIG. 13 flow between the pixels 7A and 7B and the common power supply line com, respectively. For this reason, the current that substantially flows through the common power supply line com cancels out between the drive currents i having different polarities, so that the drive current that flows through the common power supply line com can be small. Accordingly, since the common power supply line com can be made thinner by that amount, the ratio of the light emitting area of the pixel area in the pixels 7A and 7B can be increased, and display performance such as luminance and contrast ratio can be improved.

[Embodiment 3]
From the viewpoint of arranging the pixels so that the drive current flows with the opposite polarity to the same common power supply line com, each pixel may be arranged as shown in FIG. Note that in this embodiment, the configuration of each pixel 7A, 7B is the same as that in Embodiment 2, and therefore the description thereof is omitted, and FIG. 18 and FIGS. 19 to 19 for explaining each embodiment described below are shown. In FIG. 21, a pixel corresponding to the pixel 7A described in FIG. 13, FIG. 14, and FIG. 16 is represented by a sign (−), and a pixel corresponding to the pixel 7B described in FIG. ).

  As shown in FIG. 18, in this embodiment, the polarity of the drive current in each pixel 7A, 7B is the same in the extending direction of the data lines sigA, sigB, and each pixel 7A, 7B in the extending direction of the scanning lines gateA, gateB. The polarity of the drive current at is inverted every two pixels.

  Even in such a configuration, drive currents i in the directions indicated by arrows E and F in FIG. 13 flow between the pixels 7A and 7B and the common power supply line com, respectively. For this reason, since the current flowing through the common power supply line com cancels out between the drive currents i having different polarities, the drive current flowing through the common power supply line com can be small. Accordingly, since the common power supply line com can be reduced by that amount, the ratio of the light emitting area of the pixel area to the pixels 7A and 7B of the pixel area can be increased, and display performance such as luminance and contrast ratio can be improved. Can do. In addition, in this embodiment, since the polarity of the drive current is inverted every two pixels in the extending direction of the scanning lines gateA and gateB, the pixels driven by the drive current having the same polarity are adjacent to each other. What is necessary is just to form the common counter electrodes opA and opB in stripes for the two columns of pixels. Therefore, the number of stripes of the counter electrodes opA and opB can be reduced to ½. Further, since the resistances of the counter electrodes opA and opB can be made smaller than the stripe for each pixel, the influence of the voltage drop of the counter electrodes opA and opB can be reduced.

[Embodiment 4]
Further, from the viewpoint of arranging the pixels so that the drive current flows with the opposite polarity to the same common power supply line com, each pixel may be arranged as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in this embodiment, the drive currents in the pixels 7A and 7B have the same polarity in the extending direction of the scanning lines gateA and gateB, and the pixels 7A and 7B in the extending direction of the data lines sigA and sigB. The polarity of the drive current at is inverted every pixel.

  Even in such a configuration, as in the second or third embodiment, the current flowing through the common power supply line com cancels out between the drive currents having different polarities, so that the drive current flowing through the common power supply line com is small. I'll do it. Accordingly, since the common power supply line com can be made thinner by that amount, the ratio of the light emitting area of the pixel area in the pixels 7A and 7B can be increased, and display performance such as luminance and contrast ratio can be improved.

[Embodiment 5]
Further, from the viewpoint of arranging pixels so that the drive current flows with the opposite polarity to the same common power supply line com, each pixel may be arranged as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in this embodiment, the drive currents in the pixels 7A and 7B have the same polarity in the extending direction of the scanning lines gateA and gateB, and the pixels 7A and 7B in the extending direction of the data lines sigA and sigB. The polarity of the drive current at is inverted every two pixels.

  In such a configuration, as in the third embodiment, the current flowing through the common power supply line com cancels out the drive currents having different polarities, so that the drive current flowing through the common power supply line com can be small. . Accordingly, since the common power supply line com can be made thinner by that amount, the ratio of the light emitting area of the pixel area in the pixels 7A and 7B can be increased, and display performance such as luminance and contrast ratio can be improved. In addition, in this embodiment, since the polarity of the drive current is inverted every two pixels in the extending direction of the data lines sigA and sigB, the pixels driven by the drive current having the same polarity are adjacent to each other. What is necessary is just to form the common counter electrodes opA and opB in stripes for the two columns of pixels. Therefore, the number of stripes of the counter electrodes opA and opB can be reduced to ½. Further, since the resistances of the counter electrodes opA and opB can be made smaller than the stripe for each pixel, the influence of the voltage drop of the counter electrodes opA and opB can be reduced.

[Embodiment 6]
Further, from the viewpoint of arranging pixels so that the drive current flows with the opposite polarity to the same common power supply line com, each pixel may be arranged as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in this embodiment, the polarity of the drive current in each pixel 7A, 7B is set to one pixel in each of the extending direction of the scanning lines gateA, gateB and the extending direction of the data lines sigA, sigB. It is comprised so that it may invert.

  Even in such a configuration, as in the second to fourth embodiments, the current flowing through the common power supply line com is canceled out between the drive currents having different polarities, so that the drive current flowing through the common power supply line com is small. I'll do it. Accordingly, since the common power supply line com can be reduced by that amount, the ratio of the light emitting area in the pixels 7A and 7B can be increased, and display performance such as luminance and contrast ratio can be improved.

  When the pixels 7A and 7B are arranged in this way, the stripe-shaped counter electrodes opA and opB cannot cope with it. However, the counter electrodes opA and opB are formed for each pixel 7A and 7B, and the counter electrodes opA and opB are formed with each other. May be configured to be connected by wiring in the wiring layer.

  As described above, in the display device according to the present invention, pixels on which driving current is passed between the common power supply lines are arranged on both sides of the common power supply line. A single common feeder is sufficient. Therefore, compared with the case where a common power supply line is formed for each pixel group in one column, the area where the common power supply line is formed can be narrowed, and accordingly, the proportion of the light emitting region in the pixel can be increased. Display performance such as contrast ratio can be improved.

  In addition, when a plurality of pixels that are energized with the drive current between the same common power supply lines include two types of pixels that drive the light-emitting element with a drive current whose polarity is reversed. In one common power supply line, the drive current flowing from the common power supply line to the light-emitting element and the drive current flowing from the light-emitting element to the common power supply line in the opposite direction cancel each other. The drive current is small. Therefore, since the common power supply line can be made thinner accordingly, the ratio of the light emitting region in the pixel can be increased, and display performance such as luminance and contrast ratio can be improved.
