The patent application (Publication Number: US20240040818A1) describes a display device with a unique structure. The device includes a substrate with multiple pixels, each containing sub-pixels. These pixels consist of a lower electrode, an organic EL layer with an emission layer emitting different colors for each sub-pixel, and an upper electrode. An exposure protection layer with transparency and conductivity is placed between the organic EL layer and the upper electrode, with no emission layer between them. Additionally, the organic EL layer can have a tandem structure with multiple layers of the emission layer for each sub-pixel.

Furthermore, the display device may include a bank separating adjacent sub-pixels and various layers within the organic EL layer, such as hole injection, transport, blocking, emission, charge generation, and electron transport layers. The method for manufacturing the display device involves forming the lower electrode, organic EL layer, exposure protection layer, and upper electrode in sequence, ensuring no emission layer is present between the exposure protection layer and the upper electrode. This innovative design aims to improve the performance and efficiency of display devices by enhancing color emission and protection layers, ultimately providing a high-quality viewing experience for users.
