Abstract
A display device includes: a first conductive layer on a resin substrate layer; a planarization film on the first conductive layer; and OLEDs on the planarization film. There is provided a second conductive layer in a frame area surrounding a display area. The second conductive layer is in contact with second electrodes of the OLEDs on the planarization film and also in contact with the first conductive layer in an external side of the planarization film. The second electrode is electrically connected to the first conductive layer via the second conductive layer. The planarization film includes, in the frame area, a portion where there is provided a trench. The first conductive layer is exposed from the planarization film in the trench. The second electrode is electrically connected to the first conductive layer via the second conductive layer in the trench.
