Abstract

A display module to prevent the leakage current generated between a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer that constitute a pixel via an organic light emitting layer and obtains uniform luminance. An interlayer insulation layer is provided between an edge of a first electrode layer and an organic light emitting layer that constitute the pixel and the distance between the edge and a second electrode layer is secured sufficiently. Further, the interlayer insulation layer ILI is coated with a resin material having fluidity, and flatness is improved as a whole. An aperture that accommodates the organic light emitting layer is formed in this interlayer insulation layer and the coated organic light emitting layer is formed in uniform thickness and through a necessary and sufficient spread.

Claims
