Abstract
A display device includes a base member, a thin film transistor, an organic insulation film, a light-emitting layer, and a sealing layer. The display device has an active area and a non-active area. The non-active area includes a notched portion and a protrusion portion surrounding the notched portion and having, on a notched portion side, a side face including a reverse-tapered face. The light-emitting layer is disconnected as a result of a step at the protrusion portion. A filling material is embedded in at least a part of a space located between the reverse-tapered face and a top face of the organic insulation film. The top face overlaps the reverse-tapered face in a plan view.
