Publication number: 20060128252Abstract: An organic EL panel has a support substrate on which an organic EL device layer is formed. The support substrate is adhered to a sealing substrate via an adhesive to define a sealed space for encapsulating the organic EL device between both the substrates. The sealing substrate is made of a transparent material. On the inner surface of the sealing substrate, a color filter layer is formed. This structure allows light emitted from the organic EL device to transmit through the sealing substrate after having passed through the color filter layer. A transparent moisture capturing film is formed on the inner surface of the sealing substrate to cover the color filter layer, thereby filling the sealed space with transparent moisture capturing film. Thereby, the organic EL panel is provided, which makes it possible to obtain a sufficient moisture capturing effect in the sealed space.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2006Publication date: June 15, 2006Inventors: Michio Menda, Masami Kimura
