DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0028] The embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following description. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes and modifications may be made in the form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above-mentioned invention can be obtained by the following embodiments. It should not be construed as being limited to the contents described.
[0029] In the configuration of the invention described below, the same parts or parts having similar functions are referred to as the same parts. The same reference numerals are used in common among different drawings, and the repeated explanations are omitted. When referring to a function, the same hatch pattern may be used and no particular reference number may be given.
[0030] In addition, the position, size, range, etc. of each component shown in the drawings are not necessarily the same as in the actual embodiment, in order to facilitate understanding. Therefore, the disclosed invention may not necessarily represent the position, size, range, etc. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the position, size, range, etc. disclosed in the drawings.
[0031] The words "film" and "layer" may be interchangeable depending on the circumstances. For example, the term "conductive layer" can be replaced with "conductive film" Alternatively, for example, the term "insulating film" can be changed to " The term "insulating layer" may be changed to "insulating layer."
[0032] In this specification and the like, unless otherwise specified, elements (light-emitting devices, light-emitting layers, etc.) Even when describing a configuration that has multiple elements, when describing matters common to each element For example, the light-emitting layer 193B and the light-emitting layer 193G, etc. When describing matters common to the above, it may be referred to as the light-emitting layer 193.
[0033] (Embodiment 1) In this embodiment, a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0034] The display unit of the display device of the present embodiment has an image capturing function and a sensor function in addition to a function of displaying an image. It also has one or both of the following functions:
[0035] For example, an organic electroluminescence (EL) device is a light-emitting device, and an organic photodiode is a light-receiving device. Therefore, the display using the organic EL device can be formed on the same substrate. The display device can include an organic photodiode.
[0036] However, when a subpixel having a light receiving device is provided in addition to the subpixel having a light emitting device, In such a case, the aperture ratio of the pixel may decrease, and it may become difficult to achieve high definition of the display device.
[0037] Therefore, in the display device of the present embodiment, a sub-pixel that exhibits one of the colors is provided with a light-emitting device instead of a light-emitting device. Instead, a light receiving / emitting device is provided. The light receiving / emitting device has the function of emitting light (light emitting function). For example, a pixel has a red subpixel, a green subpixel, and a In the case of a pixel having three subpixels, i.e., a red subpixel, a blue subpixel, and a red subpixel, at least one subpixel is a receiving pixel. The light receiving and emitting device is configured to include an optical device and the other sub-pixels are configured to include a light emitting device. By combining light-emitting and light-receiving devices, the number of sub-pixels in a pixel can be reduced. This allows the pixel to have a light receiving function. While maintaining the image quality and resolution of the display device, the display unit of the display device is equipped with an imaging function and a sensor. One or both of the functions can be added.
[0038] The light-receiving device is made by combining an organic EL device and an organic photodiode. For example, the active layer of an organic photodiode can be integrated into the stacked structure of an organic EL device. By adding this, a light-receiving device can be created. Light-emitting devices made by combining organic photodiodes are also used in conjunction with organic EL devices. By forming layers that can be used in the same configuration at once, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of film formation steps.
[0039] For example, one of the pair of electrodes (a common electrode) is shared by the light receiving and emitting device. For example, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, and an electrode layer may be used. At least one of the child injection layers may be a layer common to the light receiving and emitting device. In addition, for example, the light receiving and emitting devices are different from each other except for the presence or absence of an active layer of the light receiving device. In other words, the light-emitting device can be made to have the same structure as the light-receiving device. By simply adding a conductive layer, a light-emitting device can be fabricated. The number of film depositions and masks can be reduced by having common layers for the seat and the light-emitting device. This makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing process and manufacturing costs of the display device. To manufacture a display device having a light receiving and emitting device using existing manufacturing equipment and manufacturing methods. can be done.
[0040] In addition, the layers of the light receiving and emitting device are formed in the following manner when the light receiving and emitting device functions as a light receiving device. The function of the device may be different when it functions as a light emitting device and when it functions as a light emitting device. The components are based on the function when the light receiving and emitting device functions as a light emitting device. For example, the hole injection layer is used to prevent the light emitting device from functioning as a light emitting device. functions as a hole injection layer, and when the light emitting / receiving device functions as a light receiving device, Similarly, the electron injection layer functions as a hole transport layer. When the light emitting device functions as a light receiving device, the light emitting device functions as an electron injection layer. When the film is formed, it functions as an electron transport layer.
[0041] In this manner, the display device of the present embodiment has a light receiving and emitting device in the display section. Specifically, the display unit has a matrix of light receiving and emitting devices and light emitting devices. Therefore, the display unit has an image capturing function and a display function in addition to displaying an image. It also has one or both of the sensing functions.
[0042] The display unit can be used as an image sensor or a touch sensor. By detecting, it is possible to capture images and detect the proximity or contact of objects (finger, pen, etc.). Furthermore, in the display device of the present embodiment, the light emitting device is connected to the light of the sensor. Therefore, there is no need to provide a light receiving section and a light source separately from the display device. This makes it possible to reduce the number of parts in the electronic device.
[0043] In the display device of this embodiment, when the light emitted by the light-emitting device included in the display portion is reflected by an object, The light-receiving device can detect the reflected light, so imaging and touch (and more) can be performed even in dark places. is capable of proximity detection.
[0044] The display device of this embodiment uses a light emitting device and a light receiving and emitting device to display an image. In other words, the light-emitting device and the light-receiving and light-emitting device are display devices (display elements and It functions as a

Alternatively, an LED such as a light emitting diode (LED) can be used.
[0046] The display device of this embodiment mode has a function of detecting light by using a light receiving and emitting device. The optical device can detect light with a shorter wavelength than the light emitted by the light-receiving device itself. .
[0047] When the light emitting and receiving device is used as an image sensor, the display device of the present embodiment For example, the display device of this embodiment can be used to capture an image. It can be used as a scanner.
[0048] For example, an image sensor can be used to obtain data such as fingerprints and palm prints. That is, the display device of this embodiment can have a built-in biometric authentication sensor. By incorporating a biometric authentication sensor in the device, it is possible to provide a biometric authentication sensor separately from the display device. Compared to the conventional method, the number of parts in an electronic device can be reduced, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the electronic device. do.
[0049] In addition, the image sensor can be used to record information such as the user's facial expression, eye movement, or changes in pupil diameter. By analyzing the data, the user's physical and mental information can be obtained. Based on this information, the display and / or audio output contents can be changed. By doing so, for example, it will be possible to develop devices for VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Au Equipment for Enhanced Reality or Mixed Reality ) devices, it is possible to ensure that users can use the devices safely.
[0050] In addition, when the light emitting and receiving device is used as a touch sensor, the display device of the present embodiment has a light emitting and receiving The device can be used to detect the proximity or contact of an object.
[0051] The light-receiving device is a photoelectric conversion device that detects light incident on the light-receiving device and generates an electric charge. The amount of charge generated is determined by the amount of incident light.
[0052] The light-receiving and light-emitting device is formed by adding an active layer of a light-receiving device to the above-mentioned light-emitting device. It can be made.
[0053] The light-receiving device uses, for example, the active layer of a pn-type or pin-type photodiode. It is possible.
[0054] In particular, the light-receiving and light-emitting device includes an active layer of an organic photodiode having a layer containing an organic compound. It is preferable to use an organic photodiode. The organic photodiode can be easily made thin, lightweight, and large in area. Since the present invention is easy to manufacture and has a high degree of freedom in terms of shape and design, it can be applied to a variety of display devices.

[0149] The pixel electrode 191 is located on the insulating layer 214. The edge of the pixel electrode 191 is connected to the partition wall 216. The two adjacent pixel electrodes 191 are covered with a partition wall 216. Electrically insulated (also called electrically separated).

Details will be described later. However, instead of the partition 216, a partition 217 that blocks visible light may be provided.
[0151] The display device 10A includes a light emitting and receiving device 19 between a pair of substrates (substrate 151 and substrate 152). 0R(PD), light emitting device 190G, light emitting device 190B, and transistor 42, etc. has.
[0152] The light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) has a function of detecting light. The device 190R (PD) receives light 22 incident from outside the display device 10A and outputs The light 22 is a light emitting device 190G and a light emitting device The light emitted from one or both of the devices 190B can be regarded as light reflected by the object. The light 22 may be incident on the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) via a lens.
[0153] Light emitting device 190G and light emitting device 190B (hereinafter, collectively referred to as light emitting device 190 Specifically, the light-emitting device 190 includes a pixel By applying a voltage between the electrode 191 and the common electrode 115, light is emitted toward the substrate 152. It is an electroluminescent device (see light 21G and light 21B).
[0154] The buffer layer 192, the light-emitting layer 193, and the buffer layer 194 are organic layers (containing an organic compound). The pixel electrode 191 has a function of reflecting visible light. It is preferable that the common electrode 115 transmits visible light.
[0155] The pixel electrode 191 is connected to the transistor 42 through an opening provided in the insulating layer 214. The transistor 42 is electrically connected to the source or drain of a light emitting device or It has a function of controlling the driving of the light receiving and emitting devices.
[0156] At least a part of the circuit electrically connected to the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) is It is formed of the same material and in the same process as the circuit electrically connected to the light emitting device 190. This makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the display device compared to the case where the two circuits are formed separately. The thickness can be reduced and the manufacturing process can be simplified.
[0157] The light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) and the light emitting device 190 of each color are each provided with a protective layer 1. In FIG. 6A etc., a protective layer 195 is preferably provided on the common electrode 115. By providing the protective layer 195, the light emitting / receiving device 190R (PD ) and the light emitting devices of each color, impurities are prevented from entering the light receiving and emitting device 190. The R(PD) and the light-emitting device of each color can be improved. The protective layer 195 and the substrate 152 are bonded together.
[0158] A light-shielding layer BM is provided on the surface of the substrate 152 facing the substrate 151. The position where the light emitting device 190 overlaps with the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) In this specification and the like, the position where the light emitting device 190 overlaps with the opening is defined as Specifically, it refers to the position that overlaps with the light emitting area of the light emitting device 190. Specifically, the position where the light emitting and receiving device 190R (PD) overlaps with the light emitting and receiving device 190R (PD) is This refers to the position where the light-emitting area and the light-receiving area overlap.
[0159] As shown in FIG. 6B, the light emitting device 190 emits light and receives light reflected by the object. The device 190R (PD) can detect the light emitted by the light-emitting device 190. is reflected within the display device 10A and reaches the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) without passing through the object. The light shielding layer BM can suppress the effect of such stray light. For example, if the light-shielding layer BM is not provided, the light emitted by the light-emitting device 190G may be The reflected light 23 is reflected by the substrate 152, and the reflected light 24 enters the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). By providing the light shielding layer BM, the reflected light 24 may be reflected by the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD ) can be suppressed. This reduces noise and The sensitivity of the sensor using (PD) can be increased.
[0160] The light-shielding layer BM may be made of a material that blocks light emitted from the light-emitting device. The BM preferably absorbs visible light. The light-shielding layer BM may be, for example, a metal material or A black matrix is created by using a resin material containing a pigment (carbon black, etc.) or a dye. The light-shielding layer BM can be formed by forming a red color filter, a green color filter, and a Alternatively, the second color filter may have a laminated structure of a first color filter and a second color filter.
[0161] [Display device 10B] The display device 10B shown in FIG. 7A includes a light emitting device 190 and a light receiving / emitting device 190R (PD ) do not have the buffer layer 192 and the buffer layer 194, and have the common layer 112 and the common layer 112, respectively. The display device 10A is different from the display device 10A in that it has a through layer 114. Therefore, description of the same configuration as the display device described above may be omitted.
[0162] The light emitting device 190B, the light emitting device 190G, and the light receiving and emitting device 190R (P D) The laminated structure is not limited to the configuration shown in the display devices 10A and 10B. For example, the laminated structures shown in Figs. 2 to 5 can be appropriately applied.
[0163] [Display device 10C] The display device 10C shown in FIG. 7B does not have the substrate 151 and the substrate 152, but has the substrates 153 and 154. The display device 10 differs from the display device 10B in that it has a second insulating layer 154, an adhesive layer 155, and an insulating layer 212.
[0164] The substrate 153 and the insulating layer 212 are bonded together by an adhesive layer 155. The protective layer 195 is attached by an adhesive layer 142 .
[0165] The display device 10C includes an insulating layer 212, a transistor 42, a light receiving / emitting device, and a The device 190R (PD), the light emitting device 190, etc. are transposed onto the substrate 153. The substrate 153 and the substrate 154 each have flexibility. This is preferable. The flexibility of the display device 10C can be improved. For example, the substrate 1 It is preferable that the material for 53 and the substrate 154 be resin.
[0166] The substrates 153 and 154 are each made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Polyester resins such as polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyacrylonitrile resins Grease, acrylic resin, polyimide resin, polymethyl methacrylate resin, polycarbonate (PC) resin, polyethersulfone (PES) resin, polyamide resin (nylon, aramid amide, etc.), polysiloxane resin, cycloolefin resin, polystyrene resin, polyamide Imide resin, polyurethane resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, polyvinylidene chloride resin, polyp Propylene resin, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin, ABS resin, cellulose Nanofibers or the like can be used. Alternatively, glass having a sufficient thickness to provide flexibility may be used.
[0167] For the substrate of the display device of this embodiment mode, a film having high optical isotropy may be used. Triacetyl cellulose (TAC, cellulose triacetate) is an example of a film with high optical isotropy. (also called acetate) film, cycloolefin polymer (COP) film, cyclo Examples include olefin copolymer (COC) film and acrylic film.
[0168] [Display device 10D] FIG. 8A shows a cross-sectional view of a display device 10D.
[0169] The light receiving and emitting device detects light emitted by the light emitting device and reflected by an object. The light emitted from the light emitting device is reflected in the display device and is reflected by the light receiving and emitting device without passing through the object. Such stray light may become noise during light detection, resulting in a low S / N ratio ( This reduces the signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, by providing a light-shielding layer BM on the display surface side of the surface on which the light-receiving and light-emitting devices are provided, the This reduces noise and reduces the effect of light on the image. The sensitivity of the sensor can be increased.
[0170] The closer the light-shielding layer BM is to the light-emitting device, the more effectively it can block stray light from the light-emitting device in the display device. On the other hand, the light-shielding layer BM prevents the light from entering the light-receiving device and increases the sensitivity of the sensor. The farther away the light is, the narrower the area of the imaging range of the light receiving and emitting device can be, and the better the imaging resolution. The image quality can be improved.
[0171] Therefore, the distance from the light-shielding layer BM to the light-receiving device and the distance from the light-shielding layer BM to the light-emitting device are Even if a structure (e.g., a resin layer) is provided on the surface on which the light-shielding layer is formed so that there is a difference between the distance By adjusting the layout and thickness of the structure, the light-shielding layer BM to the light-receiving and light-emitting device can be It is possible to increase the distance at the light emitting device and to reduce the distance from the light shielding layer BM to the light emitting device. This makes it possible to reduce sensor noise while increasing the imaging resolution.
[0172] In addition, the distance from the light-shielding layer BM to the light-receiving device and the distance from the light-shielding layer BM to the light-emitting device are If the difference between the distance and is too large, the viewing angle dependence of the color will change. Depending on the purpose of the display device, etc., the structure can be adjusted to a range that balances the display quality and image quality. It is preferable to adjust the layout and thickness of the
[0173] The display device 10D differs from the display device 10A in that a resin layer 159 is provided.
[0174] The resin layer 159 is provided on the surface of the substrate 152 facing the substrate 151. The receiving element 190G is provided at a position overlapping the optical device 190G and the light emitting device 190B. It is not provided at a position overlapping with the light emitting device 190R (PD).
[0175] For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the resin layer 159 is formed at a position overlapping the light emitting device 190G and The light emitting / receiving device 190R ( Alternatively, the resin layer 159 may be configured not to be provided at a position overlapping with the photoresist PD. For example, as shown in FIG. 8C, the position where the light emitting device 190G overlaps with the light emitting device 190G and the position where the light emitting device 190G overlaps with the light emitting device 190G are overlapped with the light emitting device 190G. 90B and at a position overlapping the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). It may have an opening 159p.
[0176] A light-shielding layer BM is formed on the surface of the substrate 152 facing the substrate 151 and on the surface of the resin layer 159 facing the substrate 151. The light-shielding layer BM is provided at a position overlapping the light-emitting device 190B and at a position overlapping the light-emitting device 19 It has openings at a position overlapping with 0G and at a position overlapping with the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). .
[0177] For example, the light shielding layer BM is formed by blocking light that passes through the resin layer 159 and is reflected by the surface of the substrate 152 on the substrate 151 side. The light-shielding layer BM can absorb the stray light 23a before it reaches the resin layer 159. 23b. This allows the light incident on the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) to be absorbed. Therefore, the noise can be reduced, and the light receiving and emitting device 190R can be In particular, the light-shielding layer BM can improve the sensitivity of the sensor using the light-emitting device. It is preferable that the light shielding layer BM is located close to 190 because stray light can be further reduced. If the light emitting device 190 is located close to the display, the viewing angle dependency of the display can be suppressed. This is also preferable from the viewpoint of improving quality.
[0178] In addition, by providing the light-shielding layer BM, the range in which the light-receiving device 190R (PD) detects light is The position where the light-shielding layer BM is apart from the light-receiving device 190R (PD) can be controlled. When the imaging range is within this range, the imaging resolution can be increased.
[0179] When the resin layer 159 has an opening, the light-shielding layer BM covers at least a part of the opening and It is preferable to cover at least a part of the side surface of the resin layer 159 exposed in the opening.
[0180] When the resin layer 159 is provided in an island shape, the light-shielding layer BM is formed on at least one of the side surfaces of the resin layer 159. It is preferable that both of them are partially covered.
[0181] In this way, since the light-shielding layer BM is provided along the shape of the resin layer 159, The distance to the light emitting device 190 (specifically, the light emitting region of the light emitting device 190) is The light emitting / receiving device 190R(PD) (specifically, the light emitting / receiving device 190R(P D) is shorter than the distance to the light receiving area of the sensor. This reduces the noise of the sensor while Furthermore, the image resolution can be increased and the viewing angle dependency of the display can be suppressed. This makes it possible to improve both the display quality and the imaging quality of the display device.
[0182] The resin layer 159 is a layer that transmits light emitted from the light emitting device 190. Examples include acrylic resin, polyimide resin, epoxy resin, polyamide resin, and polyimide a Amido resin, siloxane resin, benzocyclobutene resin, phenolic resin, and their derivatives The structure provided between the substrate 152 and the light-shielding layer BM may be a resin precursor. The thickness of the structure is not limited to the oil layer, and an inorganic insulating film or the like may be used. The distance from the light-shielding layer to the light-emitting device 190R (PD) and the distance from the light-shielding layer to the light-emitting device 190R (PD) are Since it is easy to form a thick organic insulating film such as resin, , is suitable for the structure.
[0183] The distance from the light-shielding layer BM to the light-receiving device 190R (PD) and the distance from the light-shielding layer BM to the light-emitting device In order to compare the distance to the light receiving and emitting device 190 with the distance to the light shielding layer BM, The shortest distance L1 from the end of the OR (PD) side to the common electrode 115 and the light-emitting device of the light-shielding layer BM and the shortest distance L2 from the end on the chair 190 side to the common electrode 115 can be used. Since the shortest distance L2 is shorter than the shortest distance L1, stray light from the light emitting device 190 is suppressed. This can improve the sensitivity of the sensor using the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). The shortest distance L1 is longer than the short distance L2, so that the image of the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) The image range can be narrowed and the imaging resolution can be increased.
[0184] In addition, the light emitting and receiving devices are located closer to each other than the portion of the adhesive layer 142 that overlaps the light emitting device 190. By making the overlapping part with the 190R (PD) thick, the light-receiving and light-emitting devices can be separated from the light-shielding layer BM. the distance from the light-shielding layer BM to the light-emitting device 190; can make a difference.
[0185] [Display device 10E] FIG. 9A shows a cross-sectional view of a display device 10E. FIG. 9A shows the top views shown in FIG. 9B and FIG. 9C. 1 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along dashed line A1-A2 in FIG.
[0186] In a top view (also referred to as a plan view), a light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) and a light emitting device A light-shielding layer 219 is provided between the light receiving and emitting device 190G. A light-shielding layer 219 is also provided between R(PD) and the light-emitting device 190B. By providing a light-shielding layer between the optical device 190R (PD) and the light-emitting device 190, stray light This can prevent the light from being incident on the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD).
[0187] As shown in FIG. 9B, the light-shielding layer 219 is adjacent to the plurality of light-receiving and light-emitting devices 190R (PD). As shown in FIG. 9C, the light emitting / receiving device 190R may be adjacent to only one light emitting / receiving device 190R (PD). It is okay to do so.
[0188] As shown in FIG. 9A, the partition 216 separates the light emitting and receiving device 190R (PD) from the light emitting device 190R. 90G, an opening is provided between the light-shielding layer 219 and the light-shielding layer 219. The light-shielding layer 219 covers the openings of the partition walls 216 and the side surfaces of the partition walls 216 exposed at the openings. It is preferable that the light-shielding layer 219 further covers at least a part of the upper surface of the partition wall 216. It is preferable to do so.
[0189] Alternatively, the partition wall 216 may not have an opening, and the light-shielding layer 219 may be provided on the partition wall 216. However, there is a possibility that stray light may pass through the partition 216 and enter the light emitting and receiving device 190R (PD). An opening is provided in the partition wall 216, and a light-shielding layer 219 is provided to fill the opening. As a result, stray light transmitted through the partition wall 216 is absorbed by the light blocking layer 219 at the opening of the partition wall 216. This makes it possible to prevent stray light from entering the light emitting and receiving device 190R (PD).
[0190] The light-shielding layer 219 preferably has a forward tapered shape. The angle between the side surface and the bottom surface of the layer (taper angle) is greater than 0° and less than 90°. As a result, the films (common electrode 115, protective layer 195, etc.) provided on the light-shielding layer 219 The covering ability can be improved.
[0191] The light shielding layer 219 absorbs at least the wavelength of light detected by the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). For example, it is preferable to receive the green light emitted by the light-emitting device 190G. When the detector 190R (PD) detects the light, the light-shielding layer 219 absorbs at least green light. For example, if the light-shielding layer 219 has a red color filter, the light-shielding layer 219 can receive green light. This can prevent the reflected light from entering the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). The light-shielding layer 219 is a black layer formed using a resin material containing a pigment or a dye. The light-shielding layer 219 may be a matrix. Alternatively, the light-shielding layer 219 may have a laminated structure of a blue filter and a green color filter. In addition, a brown resist material may be used to form a colored insulating layer.
[0192] For example, the light emitting device 190G emits green light and the light emitting device 190R (PD) detects the light. When the light emitting device 190G emits light, the light is reflected by the substrate 152 and the partition wall 216. In this case, the reflected light may be incident on the light receiving / emitting device 190R (PD). The light emitted by 190G passes through the partition 216 and is reflected by the transistor or wiring, etc. In this case, the reflected light may be incident on the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). In the case of the reflected light, the light is absorbed by the light shielding layer BM and the light shielding layer 219, and the reflected light is not received. This can prevent the light from entering the light emitting device 190R (PD). This reduces noise. In addition, the sensitivity of the sensor using the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) can be improved.
[0193] For example, the light shielding layer BM can absorb much of the stray light 23b before it reaches the substrate 152. Furthermore, even if a part of the stray light 23b is reflected by the light-shielding layer BM, the light-shielding layer 219 can prevent the stray light 23b from being reflected by the light-shielding layer BM. By absorbing b, it is possible to prevent the stray light 23b from entering a transistor, wiring, etc. Therefore, it is possible to prevent stray light from reaching the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). The more times the light 23b hits the light-shielding layer BM and the light-shielding layer 219, the more the amount of light absorbed is increased. This makes it possible to extremely reduce the amount of stray light that reaches the light emitting / receiving device 190R (PD). This can be done.
[0194] In addition, the light-shielding layer 219 absorbs light, so that the light is not directly incident on the light-shielding layer 219 from the light-emitting device. The stray light 23d can be absorbed by the light-shielding layer 219. By providing the optical layer 219, stray light incident on the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) is reduced. It is possible.
[0195] In addition, by providing the light-shielding layer BM, the range in which the light-receiving device 190R (PD) detects light is The distance between the light-shielding layer BM and the light-receiving device 190R (PD) can be controlled. If it is long, the imaging range becomes narrower and the imaging resolution can be increased.
[0196] [Display device 10F] The display device 10F shown in FIG. 10A does not have a partition wall 216 that transmits visible light, but blocks visible light. It differs from the display device 10D in that it has a partition wall 217.
[0197] The partition 217 preferably absorbs the light emitted by the light emitting device 190. For example, a black matrix is formed using a resin material containing a pigment or a dye. In addition, by using a brown resist material, the partition wall 21 can be formed with a colored insulating layer. 7 can be configured.
[0198] In the display device 10D (FIG. 8A), light emitted by the light emitting device 190 is guided through the substrate 152 and the The light is reflected by the partition 216, and the reflected light may enter the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). In addition, light emitted by the light emitting device 190 passes through the partition wall 216 and is incident on a transistor or a wiring. The reflected light may be incident on the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). In the display device 10F, the partition 217 absorbs the light, and the reflected light is This can suppress the light from being incident on the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). This can reduce the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) and increase the sensitivity of the sensor using the device.
[0199] The partition 217 absorbs at least the wavelength of light detected by the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). For example, it is preferable that the light emitting device 190 emits green light and the light emitting device 1 In the case of 90R(PD) detection, the partition 217 preferably absorbs at least green light. For example, if the partition 217 has a red color filter, it will absorb green light. This can prevent the reflected light from entering the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD).
[0200] The light-shielding layer BM can absorb most of the stray light 23b before it reaches the resin layer 159. A part of the light 23b may be reflected and enter the partition 217. The absorbing structure can prevent the stray light 23b from entering the transistors, wiring, etc. Therefore, the stray light 23c is prevented from reaching the light emitting and receiving device 190R (PD). The more times the stray light 23b hits the light-shielding layer BM and the partition wall 217, the more the light is absorbed. The amount of light that reaches the light receiving / emitting device 190R (PD) can be increased. If the resin layer 159 is too thick, the stray light 23b may penetrate through the light blocking layer. This is preferable because it increases the number of times the BM hits the partition wall 217 .
[0201] In addition, the partition 217 absorbs light, so that the light directly enters the partition 217 from the light-emitting device 190. The stray light 23d incident thereon can be absorbed by the partition wall 217. By providing the wall 217, it is possible to reduce stray light incident on the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD). This can be done.
[0202] [Display device 10G] The display device 10G shown in FIG. 10B does not have a partition wall 216 that transmits visible light, but blocks visible light. The main difference from the display device 10E is that it has a partition wall 217.
[0203] The light-shielding layer 219 is located on the partition wall 217.

As a result, the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD The potential of the anode of the transistor 101 and the potential of the node FD are reset to the potential supplied to the wiring VRS.

[0322] The display device of the present embodiment has an image display mode, an image capture mode, and an image display mode. The image display mode can be used in either the image display mode or the image capture mode. In the mode for taking pictures, for example, a full-color image can be displayed. For example, an image for imaging (e.g., a single color of green, a single color of blue, etc.) is displayed, and a light receiving / emitting device is used. In the imaging mode, for example, fingerprint authentication can be performed. In addition, in a mode in which image display and image capture are performed simultaneously, for example, some pixels may emit An image to be captured is captured using an optical device (light emitting device 190G or light emitting device 190B). The remaining pixels are displayed, and the light receiving and emitting device 190R (PD) is used to capture an image. Using the light receiving and emitting devices, full color images can be displayed. .
[0323] An example of an operation method in a mode in which image display and image capture are performed simultaneously will be described with reference to FIG.
[0324] In Figure 19, the subpixels (R·PD) and (G) in the first row and the subpixels (R·P 15 shows the pixel circuits of the sub-pixels (D) and (G). The circuit configuration of each sub-pixel is the same as that in FIG.
[0325] In the following example, the image is displayed using the sub-pixels (R PD) and sub-pixels (G) in the first row, and This shows an example of imaging using the sub-pixels (R·PD) and (G).
[0326] First, the potential of the wiring GL1 in the first row is set to a high potential, and the potential of the wiring TX, the wiring RS1, and the wiring SE This causes the transistors in the subpixels (R PD) to The transistors M1R and M3R of the subpixel (G) and the transistors M1G and M3G of the subpixel (G) are turned on. Image signals are supplied from the wirings SLR and SLG. At this time, the potential of the wiring WX1 is low. Next, the potential of the wiring GL1 is set to a low potential, so that the transistors M1R and M1 G, M3R, and M3G become non-conductive, and the image signal writing operation ends. Based on the gate potentials of M2R and M2G, the light-receiving device 190R (PD) and the light-emitting device Each of the 190G lights up.

Based on the potential, the light emitting device 190G emits light. By performing the transfer and detection operations, the sub-pixel (R·PD) can capture an image. Cut.
[0328] 20A to 20C, a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied to the display portion 6001. The functions of the child device 6000 will now be described.
[0329] As shown in FIG. 20A, the display unit 6001 can function as a touch panel. The display unit 6001 detects the touch of a finger 6003 while displaying a full-color image. It is possible.
[0330] FIG. 20B shows an example of performing fingerprint authentication on a finger 6003 touching the top surface of the display unit 6001. 0C is an example in which fingerprint authentication is performed on a finger 6003 that touches the side surface of a display unit 6001. Since the entire display unit of the device has a light receiving function, a fingerprint sensor is required separately from the display unit in electronic devices. In comparison with the case where the fingerprint sensor is equipped with a fingerprint sensor, the degree of freedom of the area to be used for fingerprint authentication can be increased. A display device according to one embodiment of the present invention functions as a display panel, a fingerprint sensor, and a touch sensor. Since the two components are provided separately, it is not necessary to provide each separately, which contributes to making electronic devices smaller, thinner, and lighter. It is possible to quantify it.
[0331] As described above, the display device of the present embodiment has a sub-division that emits red light and has a light receiving function. A pixel (R·PD) can be used for both image display and light detection. It is also possible to use some of the pixels (R·PD) for image display and the rest for light detection. As a result, the display device of this embodiment can be operated in a variety of modes, including an image display mode, an image capture mode, and an image capture mode. The device can be driven in either a mode in which image display and image capture are performed simultaneously.
[0332] This embodiment mode can be combined with other embodiment modes as appropriate.
[0333] (Embodiment 3) In this embodiment, a driving method of a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. I will use this to explain.
[0334] In this embodiment, a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention is used as a touch panel. I will explain it below.
[0335] Since high resolution is required for fingerprint imaging, the imaging data obtained using a light-receiving device is The data is preferably read out individually for every pixel (pixel by pixel). On the other hand, if it is to function as a touch panel, a higher resolution is required compared to fingerprint authentication. However, it is required to perform read operations at high speed.
[0336] For example, the driving frequency can be increased by performing touch detection on multiple pixels at once. For example, the number of pixels read simultaneously can be set to 4 pixels (2 x 2 pixels), 9 pixels (3 x 3 pixels), or can be appropriately determined as 16 pixels (4×4 pixels), etc.
[0337] Figure 21A shows the image data of the light-receiving devices (R·PD) included in multiple pixels. Here is an example of reading it.
[0338] Each pixel 300 includes a sub-pixel (R·PD) having a light receiving function and a sub-pixel ( In FIG. 21A, the unit 310 has a subpixel (G) that emits blue light, and a subpixel (B) that emits blue light. In the example shown, the unit 310 has nine pixels 300 (3×3 pixels). The pixels 300 included in the same unit 310 simultaneously receive image data. For example, first, the imaging data of the unit 310a is read out, and then the imaging data of the unit 310b is read out. The imaging data of the unit 310b is read out. In comparison with the case where the number of read operations is reduced, the driving frequency can be increased. The image data of the unit 310a is stored in a memory of a plurality of pixels 300 (here, nine pixels 300). ) image data is added together, so the sense is clearer than when capturing images one pixel at a time. The degree can be increased.
[0339] Alternatively, touch detection may be performed using only some of the pixels. The pixels are divided into 1 pixel per 4 pixels (2 x 2 pixels) and 1 pixel per 100 pixels (10 x 10 pixels). It can be decided appropriately as 1 pixel, or 1 pixel per 900 pixels (30 x 30 pixels), etc. Cut.
[0340] FIG. 21B shows an example in which touch detection is performed using only some of the pixels.
[0341] Each pixel 300 includes a sub-pixel (R·PD) having a light receiving function and a sub-pixel ( The target pixel 32 to be read out has a sub-pixel (G) that emits blue light, and a sub-pixel (B) that emits blue light. 21B, only the pixel 300 surrounded by the dashed line is used for touch detection. In this example, the pixel 320 is one pixel out of nine pixels (3×3 pixels). The number of pixels is not particularly limited. First, the image data of the target pixel 320a is read out, and then the target pixel The image data of the pixel 320b is read out. No imaging data is read out from the pixels 300 in the Compared to reading out image data from pixels, the number of readouts can be reduced and the drive frequency can be increased. It is possible.
[0342] In addition, if only a specific pixel 300 is used as the target pixel 320, the other pixels 300 and the receiving and transmitting There may be differences in the degree of deterioration of the optical device. It is preferable to use one pixel out of every nine pixels as the target pixel 320. When the pixel 320 is used as the target pixel, the target pixel 320 is shifted by one row or one column, and three pixels are intersected. Alternatively, all nine pixels may be used as the target pixel 320 in turn. It may also be used.
[0343] A display device according to one embodiment of the present invention has two or more operation modes for a light receiving and emitting device. The operating modes are preferably switchable between each other. For example, for all pixels: Switch between a mode in which each pixel is read out individually and a mode in which multiple pixels are read out together Alternatively, it is preferable to select a mode in which all pixels are read out and a mode in which only some pixels are read out. It is preferable that the mode in which only the element is read out can be switched to the mode in which only the element is read out. When capturing fingerprint images, images are captured at high resolution, and when the images are displayed, touch detection is performed at a high drive frequency. It is possible to make an exit.
[0344] In addition, when performing touch detection, it is preferable to eliminate the influence of ambient light, which can cause noise. .
[0345] For example, in some pixels, the light-emitting device is periodically turned on and off, By obtaining the difference in the detection intensity of the light-receiving device when it is turned on (lighted on), the influence of ambient light is eliminated. The pixels that are repeatedly turned on and off can be used to detect the image being displayed on the display device. It is preferable to provide multiple frames as long as they do not cause any adverse effect. The light-emitting device changes every frame, with lit pixels being switched for unlit pixels. It is preferable that the light source be turned on and off repeatedly. The color of the light emitted when turned on is not particularly limited.
[0346] In FIG. 22A, the pixels 330a and 330d are turned off, and the pixels 330b and 330 In FIG. 22B, pixel 330a and pixel 330d are lit, and pixel 3 30b, and pixel 330c are off.
[0347] Since pixel 330b detects ambient light, the detection intensity of the light receiving and emitting device is On the other hand, pixel 330d detects reflected light from finger 340, The detection intensity of the light-receiving device changes when the light-emitting device is turned on and off. The influence of ambient light can be eliminated by utilizing the difference in detection intensity between when the light is on and when it is off.
[0348] As described above, the display device of the present embodiment has a mode in which each unit captures an image and a mode in which each unit receives and emits light. For example, the device can be driven in either a high-speed When operation is required, a mode in which imaging is performed for each unit can be used. When high-resolution imaging is required, imaging is performed pixel by pixel (each light-receiving device). By changing the driving mode according to the application, the display device The functionality of the device can be improved.
[0349] This embodiment mode can be combined with other embodiment modes as appropriate.
[0350] (Embodiment 4) In this embodiment, a pixel layout that can be used in a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. The arrangement of the sub-pixels is not limited to the order shown in the figure. For example, The positions of the sub-pixel (A) and the sub-pixel (B) may be reversed.
[0351] The pixel shown in FIG. 23A is a sub-pixel (R·PD) that emits red light and has a light receiving function. It has a sub-pixel (G) that emits green light and a sub-pixel (B) that emits blue light. (R·PD) is arranged in a different column from subpixel (G) and subpixel (B). Subpixel (G) The sub-pixels (A) and (B) are alternately arranged in the same column, one in the odd-numbered rows and the other in the even-numbered rows. Note that the sub-pixels arranged in a column different from the sub-pixels of other colors are limited to the red (R) sub-pixels. The color may be green (G) or blue (B).
[0352] FIG. 23B shows two pixels, with one pixel being composed of three sub-pixels surrounded by dotted lines. The pixel shown in FIG. 23B is a sub-pixel that emits red light and has a light receiving function. A pixel (R·PD), a sub-pixel (G) that emits green light, and a sub-pixel (B In the pixel on the left shown in FIG. 23B, the subpixel (G) is in the same row as the subpixel (R PD). In FIG. 23B, sub-pixel (B) is arranged in the same column as sub-pixel (R PD). In the pixel on the right shown in Figure 1, the subpixel (G) is located in the same row as the subpixel (R PD), and the subpixel (G In the pixel layout shown in FIG. 23B, the odd-numbered subpixels (B) are arranged in the same column. In both the even and even rows, the sub-pixels (R PD), (G), and (B) are arranged repeatedly, and in each column, odd and even rows are of different colors. The sub-pixels are arranged.
[0353] FIG. 23C is a modified example of the pixel array shown in FIG. 1G. The pixel consists of a sub-pixel (R·PD) that emits red light and has a light receiving function, and a sub-pixel (R·PD) that emits green light. The lower left pixel and the upper right pixel shown in FIG. 23C have a sub-pixel (G) that emits red light. The sub-pixels (R·PD) emit blue light and have a light-receiving function, and the sub-pixels (B·PD) emit blue light and have a light-receiving function. ).
[0354] In FIG. 1G, each pixel is provided with a subpixel (G) that emits green light. In this case, each pixel is provided with a sub-pixel (R·PD) that emits red light and has a light receiving function. Since each pixel has a sub-pixel having a light receiving function, the configuration shown in FIG. In the configuration shown in FIG. 1G, the imaging can be performed with higher resolution. For example, the accuracy of biometric authentication can be improved.
[0355] The top surface shape of the light emitting device and the light receiving and emitting device is not particularly limited, and may be a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or the like. , a polygon with rounded corners, etc. FIG. 1G shows an example where the shape is a circle, and FIG. 23C shows an example where the shape is a square. The top surface shapes of the light-emitting devices and light-receiving / light-emitting devices of each color may be different from each other. Or it may be the same for all colors.
[0356] The aperture ratios of the sub-pixels of each color may be different from each other, or may be the same for some or all of the colors. For example, a sub-pixel (G in FIG. 1G, sub-pixel (G) in FIG. 23) provided in each pixel may be In C, even if the aperture ratio of the sub-pixel (R PD) is made smaller than that of the sub-pixels of other colors, good.
[0357] FIG. 23D is a modified example of the pixel array shown in FIG. 23C. Specifically, the configuration of FIG. 23D is as follows: This is obtained by rotating the configuration of FIG. 23C by 45°. In FIG. 23C, the two sub-pixels Although the above description assumes that one pixel is configured, as shown in FIG. 23D, the pixel is divided into four sub-pixels. It can also be considered that one pixel is made up of these.
[0358] In FIG. 23D, it is explained that one pixel is composed of four sub-pixels surrounded by dotted lines. Each pixel consists of two sub-pixels (R PD), one sub-pixel (G), and one In this way, one pixel has a plurality of sub-pixels having a light receiving function. By having a high-resolution image, it is possible to capture images with high resolution. Therefore, the accuracy of biometric authentication can be improved. For example, the resolution of the image can be set to the root of 2 times the resolution of the display. Cut.
[0359] The display device to which the configuration shown in FIG. 23C or FIG. 23D is applied has p (p is an integer of 2 or more) q (q is an integer of 2 or more) second light-emitting devices; and r (r p and r are integers greater than p and greater than q), and In addition, p, q, and r satisfy r=p+q. One of the devices emits green light and the other emits blue light. It emits light and has a light receiving function.
[0360] For example, when a light-receiving device is used to perform touch detection, light emitted from a light source is visible to a user. Blue light is less visible than green light, so blue light It is preferable that the light source is a light emitting device that emits blue light. It is preferable that the color filter has a function of receiving light of various colors.
[0361] As described above, pixels having various arrangements can be applied to the display device of one embodiment of the present invention. do.
[0362] This embodiment mode can be combined with other embodiment modes as appropriate.
[0363] (Embodiment 5) In this embodiment, the semiconductor device can be used for the OS transistor described in the above embodiment. Metal oxides (also called oxide semiconductors) will be described.
[0364] The metal oxide preferably contains at least indium or zinc. In particular, indium In addition to these, aluminum, gallium, yttrium, and zinc are preferably included. It is preferable that the alloy contains thorium, tin, etc. Also, boron, silicon, titanium, Iron, nickel, germanium, zirconium, molybdenum, lanthanum, cerium, neodymium A metal selected from aluminum, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, magnesium, cobalt, etc. It may contain one or more species.
[0365] <Classification of crystal structures> First, classification of crystal structures in oxide semiconductors will be described with reference to FIG. 24A. FIG. 24A shows an oxide semiconductor, typically IGZO (a metal oxide semiconductor containing In, Ga, and Zn). FIG. 1 is a diagram explaining the classification of crystal structures of metals (oxides).
[0366] As shown in FIG. 24A, oxide semiconductors are broadly divided into "amorphous" ", "Crystalline" and "Crystal" In addition, "Amorphous" includes completely amorp hous is included. Also, "Crystalline" includes CAAC (c-ax is-aligned crystalline), nc(nanocrystalli ne), and cloud-aligned composite (CAC). The classification of "Crystalline" includes single crystal, pol y crystal and completely amorphous are excluded. "Crystal" includes single crystal and poly crystal. Contains stal.
[0367] The structures in the bold frames in FIG. 24A are classified into two types: "Amorphous" and "Cryptozoic". It is an intermediate state between "crystal" and "new crystal" This structure belongs to the line phase. Completely different from the stable "Amorphous" and "Crystal" This can be rephrased as a structure in which
[0368] The crystal structure of the film or substrate was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The quartz glass substrate and the "Cr IGZO (also called crystalline IGZO) has a crystal structure classified as "crystalline" XRD obtained by GIXD (Grazing-Incidence XRD) measurement of the film The spectra are shown in Figures 24B and 24C, respectively. This is also called the Seemann-Bohlin method. Hereafter, the GIXD measurements shown in Figures 24B and 24C The XRD spectrum obtained by the measurement is simply referred to as the XRD spectrum. FIG. 24B and FIG. 24C are the XRD spectra of the crystalline IGZO film. The vertical axis Intensity [au] of FIG. 24C indicates the intensity (arbitrary unit). The composition of the crystalline IGZO film shown in Fig. 1 is approximately In:Ga:Zn=4:2:3 [atomic ratio]. The thickness of the crystalline IGZO film shown in FIG. 24C is 500 nm.
[0369] As shown by the arrow in FIG. 24B, the shape of the peak in the XRD spectrum of the quartz glass substrate is On the other hand, as shown by the arrow in Figure 24C, the crystalline IGZO film has a large area of X The peak shape of the RD spectrum is asymmetric. The peak shape of the XRD spectrum is asymmetric. The asymmetry clearly indicates the presence of crystals in the film or substrate. If the peak shape of the XRD spectrum is not symmetrical, the film or substrate is in an amorphous state. In addition, in FIG. 24C, a crystal phase (IGZO The left-right asymmetrical XRD spectrum is clearly indicated. The symmetric peak is presumed to be due to the diffraction peak of the crystalline phase (microcrystals). do.
[0370] Specifically, the interference of X-rays scattered by atoms in IGZO is 2θ=34° or It is assumed that the small crystals contribute to the peaks around 2θ=31°. It is assumed that this contributes to the peak near the peak in the XRD spectrum of the crystalline IGZO film shown in Figure 24C. The spectrum has a wide peak width on the low angle side at or near 2θ=34°. This is due to the presence of a peak at or near 2θ=31° in the crystalline IGZO film. This suggests the presence of tiny crystals.
[0371] The crystal structure of the film or substrate was also analyzed by nano-beam electron diffraction (NBED). Diffraction patterns observed by electron diffraction (ultra-microelectron The quartz glass substrate and the substrate temperature The diffraction patterns of the IGZO film formed at room temperature are shown in Figures 24D and 24E, respectively. FIG. 24D shows the diffraction pattern of the quartz glass substrate, and FIG. 24E shows the diffraction pattern of the IGZO film. The IGZO film shown in 4E is an oxide ternary layer with an atomic ratio of In:Ga:Zn=1:1:1. The film is formed by sputtering using a target. Electron diffraction is performed with a probe diameter of 1 nm.
[0372] As shown in FIG. 24D, a halo was observed in the diffraction pattern of the quartz glass substrate. It can be seen that the silica glass is in an amorphous state. In the diffraction pattern of the deposited IGZO film, a spot-like pattern, not a halo, was observed. For this reason, the IGZO film formed at room temperature is neither crystalline nor amorphous. , it is presumed that the state is intermediate and it cannot be concluded that the state is amorphous.
[0373] <<Structure of oxide semiconductor>> In addition, when focusing on the crystal structure, oxide semiconductors may be classified differently from that shown in FIG. 24A. For example, oxide semiconductors are classified into single-crystal oxide semiconductors and other non-single-crystal oxide semiconductors. As examples of non-single-crystal oxide semiconductors, the above-mentioned CAAC-OS, Non-single-crystal oxide semiconductors include polycrystalline oxide semiconductors and pseudo-crystalline oxide semiconductors. Amorphous-like oxide semiconductor (a-like OS) semiconductor), amorphous oxide semiconductor, etc.
[0374] Here, for details of the above-mentioned CAAC-OS, nc-OS, and a-like OS, Provide an explanation.
[0375] [CAAC-OS] CAAC-OS has multiple crystalline regions, and the multiple crystalline regions have c-axes aligned in a specific direction. The specific direction is the thickness direction of the CAAC-OS film. The normal direction of the surface on which the CAAC-OS film is formed, or the normal direction of the surface of the CAAC-OS film. A crystalline region is a region in which the atomic arrangement has periodicity. When considered as an arrangement, the crystalline region is also a region with a uniform lattice arrangement. S has a region in which multiple crystal regions are connected in the ab-plane direction, and the region has distortion. The distortion may occur in the lattice arrangement in the area where multiple crystal regions are connected. A place where the lattice orientation changes between a uniform area and a different uniform area. In other words, the CAAC-OS has a c-axis orientation and no clear orientation in the ab-plane direction. It is an oxide semiconductor that does not have a
[0376] Each of the multiple crystalline regions is made up of one or more minute crystals (maximum diameter 10n If the crystalline region is made up of a single tiny crystal, The maximum diameter of the crystalline region is less than 10 nm. In addition, the crystalline region is composed of many tiny crystals. In such a case, the size of the crystalline region may be approximately several tens of nm.
[0377] In-M-Zn oxide (where element M is aluminum, gallium, yttrium, or tin) In the case of the CAAC-OS, one or more selected from the group consisting of indium, titanium, etc. A layer containing element M, zinc (Zn), and oxygen (hereinafter referred to as the In layer) and a layer containing element M, zinc (Zn), and oxygen (hereinafter referred to as the In layer) are A layer having a layer structure (hereinafter, a (M,Zn) layer) is laminated. ) In addition, indium and element M can be substituted for each other. Therefore, The (M,Zn) layer may contain indium. The In layer may contain the element M. The In layer may contain Zn. The layered structure may be, for example, High-resolution TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) ) image, it is observed as a lattice image.
[0378] For example, when the structure of the CAAC-OS film is analyzed using an XRD device, the θ / 2θ shift In the out-of-plane XRD measurement using a slit, the peak indicating the c-axis orientation was = 31° or in the vicinity. Note that the position of the peak indicating the c-axis orientation (value of 2θ) may vary depending on the type and composition of the metal elements constituting the CAAC-OS.
[0379] For example, in the electron diffraction pattern of the CAAC-OS film, multiple bright spots (spots) ) is observed. Note that one spot and another spot are the same as the incident electron beam that has passed through the sample. The spot (also called the direct spot) is the center of symmetry and the observations are made at positions that are point-symmetric. .
[0380] When the crystalline region is observed from the specific direction, the lattice arrangement in the crystalline region is a hexagonal lattice. The unit cell is not necessarily a regular hexagon, but may be a non-regular hexagon. The above distortion may have a lattice arrangement such as a pentagon or heptagon. In the OS, clear grain boundaries were confirmed even in the vicinity of the strain. In other words, the formation of grain boundaries is suppressed by the distortion of the lattice arrangement. This is because the arrangement of oxygen atoms in the CAAC-OS is dense in the ab-plane direction. The lack of a metal atom and the change in bond distance between atoms due to the substitution of metal atoms, This is believed to be because distortion can be tolerated.
[0381] The crystal structure in which clear grain boundaries are observed is called polycrystal. The grain boundaries act as recombination centers, trapping carriers and forming on-states in transistors. It is highly likely that this will cause a decrease in the on-state current and a decrease in the field effect mobility. CAAC-OS, in which no grain boundaries are observed, has a crystal structure suitable for the semiconductor layer of a transistor. CAAC-OS is one of the crystalline oxides that have Zn. For example, In-Zn oxide and In-Ga-Zn oxide are preferably In oxide. This is preferable because it can suppress the generation of grain boundaries more effectively than the above-mentioned materials.
[0382] The CAAC-OS is an oxide semiconductor with high crystallinity and no clear crystal grain boundaries. Therefore, it can be said that the CAAC-OS is less susceptible to the decrease in electron mobility caused by grain boundaries. In addition, the crystallinity of an oxide semiconductor may be reduced due to the inclusion of impurities or the generation of defects. Therefore, CAAC-OS is similar to oxide semiconductors with few impurities and defects (such as oxygen vacancies). Therefore, the physical properties of the oxide semiconductor having the CAAC-OS are stable. Therefore, oxide semiconductors having CAAC-OS have high heat resistance and reliability. -OS is stable even under high temperatures (so-called thermal budget) during the manufacturing process Therefore, using CAAC-OS for OS transistors can expand the flexibility of the manufacturing process. This makes it possible.
[0383] [nc-OS] The nc-OS is a nano-sized area (e.g., an area of 1 nm to 10 nm, especially 1 nm to 3 nm). In other words, nc-OS has a periodic atomic arrangement in the region of microscopic The size of the minute crystals is, for example, 1 nm or more and 10 nm or less. In particular, since the size of these tiny crystals is between 1 nm and 3 nm, they are also called nanocrystals. In nc-OS, there is no regularity in the crystal orientation between different nanocrystals. No orientation is observed. Therefore, depending on the analysis method, nc-OS may be considered as a-like OS. For example, in the case of an nc-OS film, XR When structural analysis was performed using the D instrument, out-of-plane θ / 2θ scans were used. No peaks indicating crystallinity were detected in the XRD measurement. Electron diffraction (control) using an electron beam with a probe diameter larger than that of a silicon crystal (e.g., 50 nm or more). When electron diffraction (also called limited-field electron diffraction) is performed, a diffraction pattern resembling a halo pattern is observed. On the other hand, for the nc-OS film, the probes were close to or smaller than the nanocrystals. Electron beam diffraction using an electron beam with a diameter of 1 nm or more and 30 nm or less (nanobeam electron beam) When the light is diffracted, multiple light beams are emitted from the light source within a ring-shaped area centered on the direct spot. An electron diffraction pattern may be obtained in which the spots are observed.
[0384] [a-like OS] The a-like OS is an oxide semiconductor that has a structure between the nc-OS and the amorphous oxide semiconductor. Conductive. A-like OS has voids or low density regions. The OS has lower crystallinity than the nc-OS and CAAC-OS. The OS has a higher hydrogen concentration in the film than the nc-OS and CAAC-OS.
[0385] <<Oxide semiconductor structure>> Next, the details of the above-mentioned CAC-OS will be described. Regarding.
[0386] [CAC-OS] CAC-OS is, for example, a metal oxide made up of elements with a size of 0.5 nm to 10 nm. Preferably, the material is unevenly distributed in a size range of 1 nm to 3 nm or less, or in the vicinity thereof. In the following, it is assumed that one or more metal elements are unevenly distributed in a metal oxide. The region having the metal element has a thickness of 0.5 nm to 10 nm, preferably 1 nm to 3 nm. A state where the pixels are mixed at or near the size is called a mosaic or patch pattern.
[0387] Furthermore, CAC-OS is a mosaic material that is separated into a first region and a second region. The first region is in a cloud-like shape, and the first region is distributed throughout the film (hereinafter, also referred to as a cloud-like shape). In other words, the CAC-OS is a system in which the first region and the second region are mixed. It is a composite metal oxide having the following structure.
[0388] Here, the In ratio to the metal elements constituting the CAC-OS in the In-Ga-Zn oxide is The atomic ratios of In, Ga, and Zn are expressed as [In], [Ga], and [Zn], respectively. For example, in the CAC-OS of In-Ga-Zn oxide, the first region is In] is larger than [In] in the composition of the CAC-OS film. The region is a region where [Ga] is larger than [Ga] in the composition of the CAC-OS film. Or, for example, the first region has a larger [In] than the second region. The first region has a smaller Ga than the first region. In the second region, [Ga] is larger than [Ga] in the first region, and [In] is , which is a region smaller than [In] in the first region.
[0389] Specifically, the first region is mainly composed of indium oxide, indium zinc oxide, etc. The second region is a region in which gallium oxide, gallium zinc oxide, etc. In other words, the first region is called the region in which In is the main component. The second region can be rephrased as a region containing Ga as the main component. This can be done.
[0390] In addition, there are cases where a clear boundary between the first region and the second region cannot be observed.
[0391] In addition, CAC-OS in In-Ga-Zn oxide is a compound that consists of In, Ga, Zn, and O. In the material composition containing Ga, there is a region mainly composed of Ga and a region mainly composed of In. The regions are arranged in a random pattern, with the regions being in a mosaic pattern. Therefore, it is speculated that CAC-OS has a structure in which metal elements are distributed non-uniformly. .
[0392] CAC-OS is formed by sputtering without intentionally heating the substrate. In addition, when the CAC-OS is formed by a sputtering method, the deposition gas and The gas to be used should be selected from an inert gas (typically argon), oxygen gas, and nitrogen gas. In addition, the ratio of oxygen gas to the total flow rate of the deposition gas during deposition may be The lower the flow rate ratio of the oxygen gas to the total flow rate of the deposition gas during deposition, the more preferable. It is preferable to set the flow rate ratio to be 0% or more and less than 30%, and more preferably 0% or more and 10% or less.
[0393] For example, in the CAC-OS of In-Ga-Zn oxide, the energy dispersive X Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) The EDX mapping obtained using scopy revealed that the In-based region (the first The structure is one in which the first region (the first region) and the second region (the second region) mainly composed of Ga are unevenly distributed and mixed. It can be confirmed that it has.
[0394] Here, the first region is a region having a higher conductivity than the second region. When carriers flow through this region, the metal oxide exhibits electrical conductivity. The first region is distributed in a cloud-like shape in the metal oxide, resulting in high field-effect mobility (μ ) can be achieved.
[0395] On the other hand, the second region is a region having a higher insulating property than the first region. The regions are distributed in the metal oxide, so that leakage current can be suppressed.
[0396] Therefore, when the CAC-OS is used in a transistor, the conductivity due to the first region and the conductivity due to the second region are different. The insulating properties of the second region act in a complementary manner to provide switching functionality. (On / Off function) can be given to CAC-OS. OS is a material that has a conductive function in part and an insulating function in other part. The whole has the function of a semiconductor. By separating the conductive function from the insulating function, Therefore, the CAC-OS can be used as a transistor. By using on ), high field effect mobility (μ), and good switching A switching operation can be realized.
[0397] In addition, transistors using CAC-OS have high reliability. It is ideal for various semiconductor devices including display devices.
[0398] Oxide semiconductors have a variety of structures, each of which has different characteristics. Oxide semiconductors include amorphous oxide semiconductors, polycrystalline oxide semiconductors, a-like OS, and CA Two or more of C-OS, nc-OS, and CAAC-OS may be included.
[0399] <Transistor Having Oxide Semiconductor> Next, the case where the oxide semiconductor is used for a transistor will be described.
[0400] By using the oxide semiconductor for a transistor, a transistor with high field-effect mobility can be realized. In addition, a highly reliable transistor can be realized.
[0401] It is preferable to use an oxide semiconductor having a low carrier concentration for the transistor. For example, The carrier concentration of oxide semiconductors is 1×10 17 cm -3 Less than or equal to 1×10 15 cm -3 Less than 1×10, more preferably 13 cm -3 Less than or equal to 1×10 11 c m -3 Less than 1×10, more preferably 10 cm -3 Less than 1 x 10 -9 cm -3 In addition, in order to reduce the carrier concentration of the oxide semiconductor film, The impurity concentration in the conductor film may be reduced to reduce the defect level density. A low impurity concentration and a low defect level density are called high purity intrinsic or substantially high purity intrinsic. Note that the oxide semiconductor having a low carrier concentration is a highly purified intrinsic or substantially highly purified intrinsic semiconductor. It may be called an oxide semiconductor.
[0402] In addition, a highly purified intrinsic or substantially highly purified intrinsic oxide semiconductor film has a low density of defect states. Therefore, the trap level density may be low.
[0403] In addition, it takes a long time for the charges trapped in the trap states of the oxide semiconductor to disappear. Therefore, the trap level density is high. A transistor in which a channel formation region is formed in an oxide semiconductor has unstable electrical characteristics. There are cases.
[0404] Therefore, in order to stabilize the electrical characteristics of a transistor, the impurity concentration in the oxide semiconductor is In order to reduce the impurity concentration in the oxide semiconductor, It is also preferable to reduce the impurity concentration in the adjacent film. These include potassium metal, alkaline earth metals, iron, nickel, silicon, etc.
[0405] <Impurities> Here, the influence of each impurity in an oxide semiconductor will be described.
[0406] When an oxide semiconductor contains silicon or carbon, which is one of the group 14 elements, it becomes an oxide. Defect levels are formed in the semiconductor. This causes the silicon and carbon in the oxide semiconductor to The concentration of silicon and carbon near the interface with the oxide semiconductor (Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy ( By SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) The resulting concentration is 2 x 10 18 atoms / cm 3 Less than or equal to 2 x 10 17 at oms / cm 3 The following applies.
[0407] In addition, when an oxide semiconductor contains an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, defect levels are formed. Therefore, alkali metals or alkaline earth metals may form carriers. A transistor using an oxide semiconductor containing such a metal oxide tends to be normally on. Therefore, the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal in the oxide semiconductor obtained by SIMS The concentration of is 1×10 18 atoms / cm 3 Less than or equal to 2 x 10 16 atoms / cm 3 To the following:
[0408] In addition, when nitrogen is contained in an oxide semiconductor, electrons that act as carriers are generated, and the carriers The concentration increases and it becomes easier to make the oxide semiconductor n-type. The transistor using the oxide semiconductor is likely to be normally on. However, when nitrogen is contained, trap states may be formed. The electrical characteristics may become unstable. The nitrogen concentration is 5×10 19 atoms / cm 3 Less than 5 x 10 18 atom s / cm 3 Less than or equal to 1×10 18 atoms / cm 3 The following is more preferable: is 5 x 10 17 atoms / cm 3 To the following:
[0409] In addition, hydrogen contained in the oxide semiconductor reacts with oxygen that bonds with metal atoms to form water. When hydrogen enters the oxygen vacancy, the electron carrier In addition, some of the hydrogen may combine with the oxygen that is bonded to the metal atom to form a carbide. Therefore, it is necessary to use an oxide semiconductor that contains hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen in the oxide semiconductor It is preferable that the SIM is reduced as much as possible. The hydrogen concentration obtained by S is 1×10 20 atoms / cm 3 Less than 1x1 0 19 atoms / cm 3 less than 5×10 18 atoms / cm 3 less than, More preferably, 1×10 18 atoms / cm 3 Make it less than.
[0410] To use an oxide semiconductor in which impurities are sufficiently reduced for a channel formation region of a transistor Thus, stable electrical characteristics can be imparted.

[0471] The light emitting and receiving device fabricated in this example has the same structure as the active layer 183 except that it has a thickness of about 60 nm. , and has the same configuration as Device 2 prepared in Example 1 (see Table 1).
[0472] [Characteristics as a light receiving device] The characteristics of the light receiving and emitting device fabricated in this example as a light receiving device (when a reverse bias is applied) The light receiving and emitting device of this embodiment was used to evaluate the wavelengths from 375 nm to 750 nm. Light is applied every 25 nm, 12.5 μW / cm 2 The wavelength dependence of the external quantum efficiency was calculated. The voltage was set to -6V. The measurement temperatures were 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C. The temperature dependence of the external quantum efficiency was calculated under seven conditions: 70℃, 70℃, and 79℃.

[0475] In this example, a light-emitting and receiving device that can be used for a display device of one embodiment of the present invention was manufactured. The evaluation results will now be described.
[0476] The light-receiving device fabricated in this example has a structure in common with the light-emitting device (organic EL device). This is a configuration that aims to streamline the process.
[0477] <3-1. Effect of active layer thickness> First, to confirm the effect of the thickness of the active layer of the light-receiving device, five devices shown in Table 2 were (Devices 3-a, 3-b, 3-c, 3-d, and 3-e) were fabricated and used as light-emitting devices. Both the characteristics and the characteristics as a light receiving device were evaluated.
[0478] [Table 2]
[0479] The five light emitting / receiving devices are configured by the thickness (X) of the active layer 183 and the thickness (Y) of the hole transport layer 182. The active layer 18 was fabricated by changing the values of X and Y under the condition that the sum of the active layer thicknesses was 75 nm. Device 2 produced in Example 1 (see Table 1) except for the thickness of layer 3 and the thickness of hole transport layer 182. The device 3-e does not have an active layer 183. It can be said to be a color light-emitting device.
[0480] [Light-emitting device properties] First, we evaluated the characteristics of the light-emitting device as a receiving / emitting device (characteristics when a forward bias is applied). Figure 33 shows the external quantum efficiency vs. luminance characteristics of the light-receiving and light-emitting device. The current density-voltage characteristics of the device are shown.
[0481] As shown in FIG. 33, the thinner the thickness (X) of the active layer 183, the higher the external quantum efficiency. In addition, as shown in Figure 34, the current density-voltage characteristics of the five devices showed There was almost no difference, and it was found that the effect of the thickness (X) of the active layer 183 was extremely small. Therefore, there is a large difference in carrier (hole) transport properties between the active layer 183 and the hole transport layer 182. It was suggested that it was not.
[0482] From the above, it can be seen that the active layer 183 in the light emitting / receiving device of this embodiment has a function that affects the light emission efficiency. However, it was found that this does not significantly affect the hole transport properties when a forward bias is applied.
[0483] [Characteristics as a light receiving device] Next, we evaluated the characteristics of the light-receiving device (characteristics when reverse bias is applied) Figure 35 shows the external quantum efficiency vs. wavelength characteristics of the light-receiving and light-emitting device. The current density-voltage characteristics of the device are shown.
[0484] The measurement conditions were: light intensity of 12.5 μW / cm 2 The voltage in FIG. 35 was −6V. The voltage applied here is the voltage when the bias applied to the EL device is normally positive. That is, when the first electrode 180 side is at a high potential and the second electrode 189 side is at a low potential, The combination is positive.
[0485] As shown in FIG. 35, the thinner the thickness (X) of the active layer 183, the lower the external quantum efficiency. In addition, as shown in FIG. 36, the thinner the thickness (X) of the active layer 183, the greater the photoelectric conversion efficiency. In addition, the current flow was reduced by the buffer layer between the active layer and the light-emitting layer. It was found that the thicker the thickness (Y) of the hole transport layer 182, the higher the driving voltage.
[0486] <3-2. Effect of buffer layer thickness> Next, to investigate the effect of the thickness of the buffer layer on the light-emitting / receiving device, the five devices shown in Table 3 were Devices 3-f, 3-g, 3-h, 3-i, and 3-j were fabricated and used as light-emitting devices. We evaluated both its properties as a photodiode and as a light-receiving device.
[0487] [Table 3]
[0488] The light-receiving and light-emitting devices prepared in Example 1, Example 2, and 3-1 of this Example (see Tables 1 and 2) ) were configured to receive light from the second electrode 189 side, The light receiving and emitting device fabricated in accordance with 2 (Table 3) is configured to receive light from the first electrode 180 side. do.
[0489] The light emitting / receiving device fabricated in 3-2 of this embodiment has a first electrode 180 having an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer with a thickness of about 70 nm. The second electrode 189 is an indium tin oxide (ITO) film having a thickness of about 150 nm. The thickness (Z) of the hole transport layer 182 was changed. Other than that, the configuration is the same as that of Device 2 produced in Example 1 (see Table 1).
[0490] [Light-emitting device properties] First, we evaluated the characteristics of the light-emitting device as a receiving / emitting device (characteristics when a forward bias is applied). Figure 37 shows the external quantum efficiency vs. luminance characteristics of the light-receiving and light-emitting device. The current density-voltage characteristics of the device are shown.
[0491] As shown in FIG. 37, the thicker the thickness (Z) of the hole transport layer 182, the higher the external quantum efficiency. In addition, as shown in Figure 38, the current density-voltage characteristics of the five devices were It was found that there was almost no difference in the properties, and the effect of the thickness (Z) of the hole transport layer 182 was extremely small. I did.
[0492] From the above, the hole transport layer functions as a buffer layer between the active layer 183 and the light emitting layer 193. The thicker the thickness (Z) of the layer 182, the faster the energy transfer from the light-emitting layer 193 to the active layer 183. suppressed, and the luminous efficiency increased.
[0493] [Characteristics as a light receiving device] Next, we evaluated the characteristics of the light-receiving device (characteristics when reverse bias is applied) Figure 39 shows the external quantum efficiency vs. wavelength characteristics of the light-receiving and light-emitting device. The current density-voltage characteristics of the device are shown.
[0494] The measurement conditions were: light intensity of 12.5 μW / cm 2 The voltage in FIG. 39 was −6V.
[0495] 35 and 39, both the thickness of the active layer 183 and the thickness of the hole transport layer 182 are When the thickness of the hole transport layer 182 is changed, the external quantum efficiency As shown in FIG. 40, the thicker the hole transport layer 182, the smaller the change in On the other hand, by comparing Figures 36 and 40, No reduction in current density was observed by varying the thickness of the hole transport layer 182.
[0496] For these reasons, a buffer layer (a hole transport layer in this embodiment) is provided between the active layer and the light emitting layer. The thicker the buffer layer, the greater the increase in the driving voltage. It turned out to be big.
[0497] From the above two evaluations, 3-1 and 3-2, it was found that the active layer 183 is a factor suppressing the transfer of charges (holes). In addition, the buffer layer (the hole transport layer 182 in this embodiment) ) suppresses Förster migration from the light-emitting layer 193 to the active layer 183, and the light emission It is considered that the decrease in efficiency is suppressed. When the device is operated as an optical device, it is believed that efficient charge transfer, recombination, and light emission occur. can be.
[0498] Here, the overlap between the absorption spectrum of the active layer and the emission spectrum of the light-emitting layer is reduced, and the light-emitting layer By suppressing the phenomenon in which the light emitted by the active layer is absorbed by the active layer, it is possible to further increase the light emission efficiency. When trying to improve the characteristics of a light-emitting device by reducing the thickness of the active layer, On the other hand, the material of the active layer is If the material is changed, the trade-off relationship can be avoided while maintaining the characteristics of the light-emitting device. It is believed that this will improve both the optical properties and the characteristics as a light-receiving device. [Explanation of symbols]
