Abstract

A display device includes a first organic layer, a first inorganic layer, a second organic layer, a second inorganic layer, and a thin film transistor. The first organic layer has a roughened top surface. The first inorganic layer has a roughened top surface and is disposed to have a roughened bottom surface that is in contact with the roughened top surface of the first organic layer. The second organic layer has a roughened bottom surface that is in contact with the roughened top surface of the first inorganic layer. The second inorganic layer is disposed to be in contact with the top surface of the second organic layer. The thin film transistor is disposed on the top surface of the second inorganic layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a first organic layer having a roughened top surface;
a first inorganic layer having a roughened bottom surface and a roughened top surface following the roughened bottom surface, the roughened bottom surface being in contact with the roughened top surface of the first organic layer;
a second organic layer having a roughened bottom surface in contact with the roughened top surface of the first inorganic layer;
a second inorganic layer in contact with a top surface of the second organic layer; and
a thin film transistor above the second inorganic layer,
wherein the first organic layer has a bottom surface opposite to the roughened top surface thereof,
a thermal diffusion sheet is disposed on the bottom surface of the first organic layer, and
a protective layer formed of a resin is disposed on an opposite surface of the thermal diffusion sheet from the bottom surface of the first organic layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising, above the second inorganic layer:
a lower electrode coupled to the thin film transistor;
a light-emitting layer on the lower electrode; and
an upper electrode on the light-emitting layer.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the roughened top surface of the first organic layer has a maximum height roughness greater than or equal to 10 nm and less than or equal to 100 nm.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the roughened top surface of the first organic layer has an arithmetic mean roughness greater than or equal to 1 nm and less than or equal to 5 nm.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
a plasma treatment is applied to the top surface of the second organic layer.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second organic layer is formed by applying a varnish made of an organic material to the roughened top surface of the first inorganic layer.

7. A display device comprising:
a substrate;
an under film on the substrate, the under film being made of an inorganic material; and
a thin film transistor on the under film, wherein
the substrate has a stack structure including a plurality of resin layers sandwiching an inorganic layer therebetween,
a resin layer in contact with the under film, among the plurality of resin layers, has a first surface located at a side of the under film and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and
the second surface is rougher than the first surface.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein
an outermost layer which is located at an opposite side of the substrate from the thin film transistor is one of the plurality of resin layers.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein
a protective film formed of a resin is disposed on an opposite surface of the outermost layer from the under film.

10. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein
the substrate includes a first inorganic layer in contact with the second surface and a first resin layer in contact with an opposite surface of the first inorganic layer from the second surface, and
a surface of the first resin layer is rougher than the first surface, the surface being in contact with the first inorganic layer.

11. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein
the substrate is flexible.

12. A display device comprising:
a first organic layer having a first roughened top surface;
a first inorganic layer having a first roughened bottom surface and a second roughened top surface, the first roughened bottom surface being in contact with the first roughened top surface of the first organic layer;
a second organic layer having a bottom surface in contact with the second roughened top surface of the first inorganic layer, and a top surface opposite to the bottom surface;
a second inorganic layer in contact with the top surface of the second organic layer; and
a thin film transistor above the second inorganic layer,
wherein the bottom surface of the second organic layer is rougher than the top surface of the second organic layer.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein
the second inorganic layer has a surface located at an opposite side of the second organic layer, and
the surface is rougher than the top surface of the second organic layer.

14. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein
the second inorganic layer has a surface located at an opposite side of the second organic layer, and
the surface is substantially flat.

15. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein
the top surface of the second organic layer is substantially flat.
