Display panel and display device
First Claim
1. A display panel, comprising:
- a display area including pixels each of which includes an organic electroluminescent (EL) element; and
a contact area outside the display area, whereinthe contact area includes;
an upper conductive layer forming first electrodes of the organic EL elements;
a lower conductive layer below the upper conductive layer,a middle layer between the upper conductive layer and the lower conductive layer; and
an insulating layer between the lower conductive layer and the middle layer,the insulating layer includes a first contact hole and a second contact hole,the middle layer includes;
a first area and a second area which are electrically connected to the upper conductive layer, the first area and the second area being conductive areas; and
a separating area which separates the first area and the second area, the separating area being an insulating area, andthe lower conductive layer includes;
a first line which is electrically connected to the first area via the first contact hole; and
a second line which is electrically connected to the second area via the second contact hole.

Abstract
A display panel includes a contact area which includes an upper conductive layer forming first electrodes of the organic EL elements, a lower conductive layer disposed below the upper conductive layer, a middle layer between the upper conductive layer and the lower conductive layer, and an insulating layer between the lower conductive layer and the middle layer. The middle layer includes a first area and a second area which are conductive and electrically connected to the upper conductive layer, and an insulating separating area which separates the first area and the second area. The lower conductive layer includes a first line which is electrically connected to the first area via a first contact hole, and a second line which is electrically connected to the second area via a second contact hole.
