  • Patent number: 6624572
    Abstract: An organic EL display panel has a multi-layered structure in which a first electrode and a second electrode are formed on a transparent panel and an organic EL layer is formed between the first and second electrodes. A method for sealing the organic EL display panel includes the steps of forming a buffer layer of an organic matter such as silicon oxide and silicon nitride on the transparent panel, and locating a shield cover on the buffer layer. Thus, adhesive strength between the panel and an adhesive is enhanced to prevent external humidity and oxygen from being permeated into the panel, thereby increasing life span of the display.

  • Patent number: 6146715
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an organic EL display panel accomplishes pixelation without using a shadow mask, and without exposing active EL elements to solvents from photoresist, or developing and stripping solutions. A first electrode layer and an insulating layer are formed on a transparent substrate. Portions of the insulating layer are removed at predetermined regions using at least one laser beam. An organic function layer and a second electrode layer are then formed on the predetermined regions. The first electrode layer, the organic layer and the second electrode layer form a sub-pixel. Additional sub-pixels are formed using the same method.
