  • Publication number: 20090202708
    Abstract: An apparatus of manufacturing a light emitting element having a plurality of layers including an organic layer on a substrate to be processed is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of process chambers to which the substrate to be processed is transferred in series, wherein the plurality of process chambers are substantially linearly connected to one another and wherein adjacent two of the process chambers are filled with gas that does not react with a layer on the substrate to be processed when the substrate to be processed is transferred between the two process chambers.

  • Publication number: 20090051280
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light-emitting device including a first electrode; a second electrode opposite to the first electrode; and an organic layer that is formed between the first electrode and the second electrode and includes a light-emitting layer. The second electrode includes a conductive protection layer that is formed on the organic layer so as to protect the organic layer and a conductive main electrode layer that is formed on the protection layer.

  • Publication number: 20080289754
    Abstract: A substrate mark is formed on a transparent substrate as an alignment mark. The substrate mark is formed at the same time as transparent electrodes are formed on the transparent substrate. The substrate mark is formed of the same material as the transparent electrodes. A center wavelength of a transmission wavelength of a plurality of optical filters is different from each other. An optical filter corresponding to a thickness of the substrate mark is selected from a plurality of optical filters. Light is irradiated from a white light source to the substrate mark via the selected optical filter. Accordingly, the substrate mark is recognized and a shadow mask is aligned with the transparent substrate.
