Abstract: This invention provides an organic EL light-emitting device, which can prevent the occurrence of brightness unevenness due to resistance of a transparent electrode, in a large surface light-emitting panel of an organic EL element. The organic EL light-emitting device includes an element formation substrate 1, on which an organic EL element 2 including an organic light-emitting layer is stacked, and a sealing substrate 3 for sealing the organic EL element so as to accommodate the organic EL element between the element formation substrate and the sealing substrate. A sealing portion 4 formed of an adhesive is formed in the peripheral edge portion between the element formation substrate 1 and the sealing substrate 3, and a grease layer 5 or a gel layer 5 is accommodated in between the element formation substrate, on which the organic EL element surrounded by the sealing portion is formed, and the plate-shaped sealing substrate so as to adhere to the element formation substrate and the sealing substrate.

Abstract: There are executed a coating or attaching process for coating or attaching a grease-like or gel-like material onto a surface of a sealing substrate on a sealed space side and a drying process for drying the grease-like or gel-like material coated or attached onto the sealing substrate. Then, there is executed a laminating process of sealing the peripheral edge portion between the sealing substrate and the element formation substrate by a sealing agent such as an adhesive in such a state that the surface of the sealing substrate onto which the grease-like or gel-like material is coated or attached and the surface of the element formation substrate on which an organic EL element is formed are opposed to each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides an organic EL light-emitting apparatus that can compensate a voltage drop caused on a transparent electrode and that can prevent the occurrence of brightness unevenness caused by the voltage drop. A transparent electrode 2, an organic light-emitting functional layer 5, and a back electrode 6 are successively laminated on a light-transmitting substrate 1, and a sealing member 9 for sealing the transparent electrode, the organic light-emitting functional layer, and the back electrode is provided so as to accommodate them between the substrate 1 and the sealing member 9. A conductive layer 10 is formed on the sealing member 9, and conductive columnar members 4 are interspersedly formed between the conductive layer 10 and the transparent electrode 2 in the plane direction of the substrate 1. Accordingly, electric power is supplied to the transparent electrode 2 from the conductive layer 10 through the conductive columnar members 4.
