 図1および図2(a)に示すように、まず、透光性の支持体50(例えば、ガラス基板)上に樹脂層12を形成する(ステップS1)。次いで、バリア層3を形成する(ステップS2)。次いで、半導体膜15、ゲート電極G、ソース電極S、ドレイン電極D、および無機絶縁膜16・18・20を含むTFT層4を形成する(ステップS3)。次いで、発光素子層(例えば、OLED素子層)5を形成する(ステップS4)。次いで、無機封止膜26・28および有機封止膜27を含む封止層6を形成する(ステップS5)。次いで、封止層6上に接着層8を介して上面フィルム9を貼り付ける(ステップS6)。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A, first, a resin layer 12 is formed on a translucent support 50 (for example, a glass substrate) (step S1). Next, the barrier layer 3 is formed (step S2). Next, the TFT layer 4 including the semiconductor film 15, the gate electrode G, the source electrode S, the drain electrode D, and the inorganic insulating films 16, 18, and 20 is formed (step S3). Next, a light emitting element layer (for example, OLED element layer) 5 is formed (step S4). Next, the sealing layer 6 including the inorganic sealing films 26 and 28 and the organic sealing film 27 is formed (step S5). Next, the top film 9 is pasted on the sealing layer 6 via the adhesive layer 8 (step S6).
 次いで、支持体50越しに樹脂層12の下面にレーザ光を照射する(ステップS7)。ここでは、支持体50の下面に照射され、支持体50を透過したレーザ光を樹脂層12が吸収することで、樹脂層12の下面(支持体50との界面)がアブレーションによって変質し、樹脂層12および支持体50間の結合力が低下する。次いで、支持体50を樹脂層12から剥離する(ステップS8)。次いで、樹脂層12の下面に、接着層11を介して下面フィルム10(例えば、PET)を貼り付ける(ステップS9)。次いで、下面フィルム付きの積層体を分断し、個片化する(ステップS10)。次いで、接着層38を介して機能フィルム39を貼り付ける(ステップS11)。次いで、TFT層4の端子部の裏面に電子回路基板60(例えば、FPC)を実装し、図2(b)および図3に示す、個片化された表示デバイス2を得る(ステップS12)。なお、前記各ステップは表示デバイスの製造装置が行う。 Next, the lower surface of the resin layer 12 is irradiated with laser light through the support 50 (step S7). Here, the resin layer 12 absorbs the laser beam irradiated to the lower surface of the support 50 and transmitted through the support 50, whereby the lower surface of the resin layer 12 (interface with the support 50) is altered by ablation, and the resin The bonding force between the layer 12 and the support 50 is reduced. Next, the support 50 is peeled from the resin layer 12 (step S8). Next, the lower film 10 (for example, PET) is attached to the lower surface of the resin layer 12 via the adhesive layer 11 (step S9). Next, the laminated body with the bottom film is divided and separated into pieces (step S10). Next, the functional film 39 is pasted through the adhesive layer 38 (step S11). Next, an electronic circuit board 60 (for example, FPC) is mounted on the back surface of the terminal portion of the TFT layer 4 to obtain the singulated display device 2 shown in FIGS. 2B and 3 (step S12). Each step is performed by a display device manufacturing apparatus.

The end surface of the terminal electrode TM is covered with the organic interlayer film 21.
 半導体膜15は、例えば低温ポリシリコン(LPTS)あるいは酸化物半導体で構成される。ゲート絶縁膜16は、例えば、CVD法によって形成された、酸化シリコン(SiOx)膜あるいは窒化シリコン(SiNx)膜またはこれらの積層膜によって構成することができる。ゲート電極G、ソース電極S、ドレイン電極D、および端子は、例えば、アルミニウム(Al)、タングステン(W)、モリブデン(Mo)、タンタル(Ta)、クロム(Cr)、チタン(Ti)、銅(Cu)の少なくとも1つを含む金属の単層膜あるいは積層膜によって構成される。なお、図2では、半導体膜15をチャネルとするTFTがトップゲート構造で示されているが、ボトムゲート構造でもよい(例えば、TFTのチャネルが酸化物半導体の場合)。 The semiconductor film 15 is made of, for example, low temperature polysilicon (LPTS) or an oxide semiconductor. The gate insulating film 16 can be constituted by, for example, a silicon oxide (SiOx) film, a silicon nitride (SiNx) film, or a stacked film thereof formed by a CVD method. The gate electrode G, the source electrode S, the drain electrode D, and the terminal are, for example, aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), tantalum (Ta), chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti), copper ( It is comprised by the metal single layer film or laminated film containing at least 1 of Cu).

 無機絶縁膜16・18・20は、例えば、CVD法によって形成された、酸化シリコン(SiOx)膜あるいは窒化シリコン(SiNx)膜またはこれらの積層膜によって構成することができる。 The inorganic insulating films 16, 18, and 20 can be formed of, for example, a silicon oxide (SiOx) film, a silicon nitride (SiNx) film, or a stacked film thereof formed by a CVD method.
 有機層間膜21は、ポリイミド、アクリル等の塗布可能な感光性有機材料によって構成することができる。有機層間膜21は、発光素子層5の下地(平坦化膜)として機能する。また、有機層間膜21と、非表示領域の凸状構造体TKの下部21yは同一工程で形成される。 The organic interlayer film 21 can be made of a photosensitive organic material that can be applied, such as polyimide or acrylic. The organic interlayer film 21 functions as a base (planarization film) for the light emitting element layer 5.

In this case, the conduction hole DH is surrounded by the edge Te of the terminal electrode TM. In addition, on the inorganic insulating film 20, one end is connected to the terminal electrode TM, and a terminal wiring TW made of the same material as the terminal electrode TM is provided. The wiring width w1 of the terminal wiring TW is the wiring width w1. Is smaller than the size w2 of the conduction hole DH in the same direction.
 なお、図2および図3では、端子電極TMがTFT層4のソース層(例えば、ソース電極)に接続されているがこれに限定されない。端子電極TMをTFT層4のゲート層(ゲート電極と同層)に接続することもできる。 In FIGS. 2 and 3, the terminal electrode TM is connected to the source layer (for example, the source electrode) of the TFT layer 4, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Conductive portions DC are formed on the inner walls of the through holes of the inorganic insulating films 16, 18, and 20 and the barrier layer 3.
 また、図8(b)のように、導通ホールDHの底面下に電子回路基板60を配するとともに、押さえ板PZに塗布した導電体55(導電性バインダー)を導通ホールDHの開口上に配し、圧着ヘッドAHを降下させて押さえ板PZおよび電子回路基板60間の導電体55に圧力を加えて導電体55を導通ホールDH内に充填してもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, the electronic circuit board 60 is disposed under the bottom surface of the conduction hole DH, and the conductor 55 (conductive binder) applied to the holding plate PZ is disposed on the opening of the conduction hole DH. Then, the pressure bonding head AH may be lowered to apply pressure to the conductor 55 between the pressing plate PZ and the electronic circuit board 60 to fill the conductor 55 in the conduction hole DH.

 実施形態1では、端子部44の裏面に電子回路基板60を実装することができるため、端子部上に実装した電子回路基板(FPC等)を裏面に折り曲げるような構成と比較して額縁部分を縮小することができる。また、電子回路基板を折り曲げる必要もないため、実装の信頼性も高められる。 In the first embodiment, since the electronic circuit board 60 can be mounted on the back surface of the terminal portion 44, the frame portion is compared with a configuration in which an electronic circuit board (FPC or the like) mounted on the terminal portion is bent on the back surface. Can be reduced. Further, since it is not necessary to bend the electronic circuit board, the mounting reliability can be improved.
