DISPLAY UNIT AND METHOD OF FABRICATING DISPLAY UNIT

摘要

A display unit of high reliability having reduced the amount of moisture and oxygen penetrating thereinto through sealing zones, which moisture and oxygen would cause deterioration of the performance of the display unit; and a method of fabricating such a display unit. A sealing film is provided so as to avoid direct contact of the organic-material-containing interlayer insulating film of the display unit with atmosphere lying outside the display unit (panel). Accordingly, penetration of water and oxygen lying outside the display unit through an insulating film containing an organic material such as one having moisture absorbing property into the display unit can be avoided. As a result, contamination of display unit interior, deterioration of electrical performance and various degradations such as dark spots and shrink that are attributed to water, oxygen, etc. can be prevented, thereby enhancing the reliability of the display unit.
