    Abstract: To attain not only reforming of a film moistureproof substrate but also inhibiting of penetration of moisture or water transportation from edge portions thereof. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Film moistureproof substrate (7) is fixed to base plane (3a) of frame body (3) with adhesion. The film moistureproof substrate (7) at its edge portions is covered with a moistureproof fixing member, so that when the film moistureproof substrate (7) is fixed to the frame body (3), the thin-film organic electroluminescence element built in the film moistureproof substrate (7) can be freed from influences of moisture and water.

  • Patent number: 7745987
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent display device includes organic electroluminescent films, each containing organic electroluminescent materials and sandwiched by a pair of electrodes, each forming a plurality of light-emitting elements above a substrate. Each pixel of the display device is composed of two different colors light-emitting elements, and the chromaticity of each color is controlled by changing the concentration of organic electroluminescent materials or by adding foreign materials thereto. For example, if the chromaticity of the red light-emitting element is set to a value shifted toward green side, various colors including white can be produced by mixing this red with blue of the blue light-emitting element. Then, the organic electroluminescent display device can produce high-quality quasi-color images by mixing two colors of which chromaticity values are properly controlled. By virtue of a two-color structure, the aperture ratio becomes high and the manufacturing process becomes simple.

  • Patent number: 7285906
    Abstract: In forming luminescent areas of organic EL devices of an organic EL display panel, it is necessary to prevent a display performance degradation in the vicinity of outermost edges of display area of the organic EL display panel. A film formation mask is used to form a film pattern of an organic layer containing a luminescent layer, in a manner such that the luminescent area formation sections can be covered. The film formation mask has a plurality of openings according to the film pattern, and false openings formed outside the area containing the openings but not useful in forming organic layer for forming luminescent areas. False openings are formed in positions corresponding to the outside of display area, and forms false patterns of an organic layer on the inner side of the adhesive area.

  • Patent number: 7247982
    Abstract: There is provided an organic EL display device comprising: an underlying layer, including at least one layer formed of organic materials, formed on a substrate; organic EL elements formed thereon; and each leading electrode from the organic EL element for an electrical interconnection to an electrode of an interconnection object. In the display device, each connecting region is formed by removing the layers formed of organic materials, of the underlying layer, at a location of a thermocompression bonding for the electrical interconnection. This enables a reliable electrical interconnection between the leading electrode and the electrode of the interconnection object, thereby allowing a good display performance of each organic EL element to be kept.
