  • Publication number: 20190305249
    Abstract: A sealing substrate is arranged to oppositely face an element substrate on which organic EL layers are formed in a matrix array with a sealing material sandwiched therebetween. A gel-state desiccant is filled in an inner space surrounded by the element substrate, the sealing substrate and the sealing material. Since the gel-state desiccant is in a gel state, the gel-state desiccant is flexibly filled in the inner space of the organic EL display device thus completely eliminating a gap. Since the inner space is filled with the gel-state desiccant, moisture hardly intrudes into the inner space from the outside and, at the same time, a mechanical strength of the organic EL display device is also enhanced.

  • Patent number: 8680766
    Abstract: An organic EL element section (1000) is formed on a circuit formation section (102) formed on a circuit board (101). The organic EL element section (1000) is covered with a protective layer (113) including an SiNxOy film. The SiNxOy film has infrared absorption characteristics including: an Si—O—Si stretching vibration absorption peak appearing at energy lower than 1,000 cm?1; an absorption intensity of an Si—N stretching vibration absorption peak appearing in the vicinity of around 870 cm?1 which is 0.75 or more times an absorption intensity of the Si—O—Si stretching vibration absorption peak; and an absorption peak intensity in a range of 2,000 to 4,000 cm?1, which is 5% or less of the absorption intensity of the Si—N stretching vibration absorption peak. Thus, the protective film having an excellent moisture-blocking property may be obtained, and life property of an organic EL display device may be improved.

  • Patent number: 8152583
    Abstract: A mother element substrate and a mother seal substrate are adhered with each other via an adhesive sheet. An adhesive sheet cut portion of the adhesive sheet corresponding to a terminal portion is formed at a time when the adhesive sheet is applied to the mother seal substrate, thus requiring no processing of the terminal portion afterward. Since the adhesive sheet cut portion extends to reach an edge of the adhesive sheet to prevent deformation of the adhesive sheet around the terminal portion after adhering the mother element substrate and the mother seal substrate with each other under the negative pressure so as to be returned to the atmosphere, thus realizing the solid seal type organic EL display device with high reliability.

  • Patent number: 8102115
    Abstract: An organic EL display panel which does not impair a sealing effect and ensures a smooth edge portion when individual organic EL display panels are separated from a mother panel on which a plurality of organic EL display panels are formed is provided. A mother panel is formed by adhering a mother element substrate and a mother sealing substrate by way of an adhesive material sheet. In separating the mother panel into individual organic EL display panels, laser beams are radiated to the mother panel along separation lines so as to lower an adhesive strength of the adhesive material sheet at such portions. Thereafter, scribing is applied to the mother panel along the separation lines. Due to such a constitution, it is possible to realize an organic EL display panel without lowering a sealing effect and ensuring smooth appearance.

  • Patent number: 7942715
    Abstract: The present invention provides an organic light emitting device in which an upper transparent electrode 10 of an organic light emitting device 2 is connected electrically at a contact hole portion 122 to a current supply line 121 disposed in the same layer as that of and extending in parallel with a gate line 106. That is, a hole transport layer 5 and an electron transport layer 9 of the organic light emitting device 2 are formed over the entire display region, and then a contact hole portion 122 is removed to electrically connect the current supply line 121 and the upper transparent electrode 10, thereby decreasing unevenness of luminance due to wiring resistance of the upper transparent electrode.

  • Patent number: 7915073
    Abstract: The present invention provides an organic EL display panel manufacturing method which is capable of forming a desired organic film or the like with high accuracy without imparting damages to a substrate and an organic film and an organic EL display panel which is manufactured by the method. An opening portion which corresponds to a panel pattern region of a display panel is formed in a vapor deposition mask. The opening portion has a bottom surface in the inside of a recessed surface which is retracted from a surface on which the vapor deposition mask is brought into contact with the substrate. The opening portion of the vapor deposition mask is spaced apart from the substrate with a predetermined gap space and evaporated particles from an evaporating source are vapor-deposited to the substrate through the opening portion.
