Active matrix display device
First Claim
1. An active matrix display device, comprising:
- a substrate;
a display region including a plurality of scanning lines provided on the substrate, a plurality of data lines extending in a direction perpendicular to a direction of extension of the scanning lines, and a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix bounded by the data lines and the scanning lines, each of the pixels being provided with a thin film luminescent device having;
a conduction control circuit having a thin film transistor including a gate electrode, the conduction control circuit supplying a scanning signal to the gate electrode through one of the scanning lines, a pixel electrode, an organic semiconductive film deposited above the pixel electrode, and an opposite electrode deposited above the organic semiconductive film, the thin film luminescent device emitting light based on an image signal supplied from one of the data lines through the conduction control circuit; and
an insulating film, a region in which the organic semiconductive film is formed being divided by the insulating film, the insulating film being thicker than the organic semiconductive film, the insulating film including a lower insulating layer which is formed of an inorganic material and which is thicker than the organic semiconductive film, and an upper insulating layer which is deposited on the lower insulating layer and which is formed of an organic material.

Abstract
In order to provide an active matrix display device in which a thick insulating film is preferably formed around an organic semiconductive film of a thin film luminescent device without damaging the thin film luminescent device, the active matrix display device is provided with a bank layer (bank) along a data line (sig) and a scanning line (gate) to suppress formation of parasitic capacitance in the data line (sig), in which the bank layer (bank) surrounds a region that forms the organic semiconductive film of the thin film luminescent device by an ink-jet process. The bank layer (bank) includes a lower insulating layer formed of a thick organic material and an upper insulating layer of an organic material which is deposited on the lower insulating layer and has a smaller thickness so as to avoid contact of the organic semiconductive film with the upper insulating layer.
