  • Publication number: 20060066215
    Abstract: An upper bus electrode is formed as a laminated wire of a metal film lower layer, a metal film intermediate layer and a metal film upper layer. Al lower in electrode potential is used as a low resistance material for the metal film intermediate layer of the upper bus electrode, while Cr high in heat resistance and oxidation resistance and higher in electrode potential than Al is used for the metal film lower and upper layers disposed as upper and lower layers. Al and Cr are selectively etched so that the metal film lower layer projects on one side and has an undercut on the other side with respect to the metal film intermediate layer.

  • Patent number: 7019455
    Abstract: A cap surrounding projection is formed on an outer periphery of a light transmitting cap substrate simultaneously with the formation of pixel separation banks. A surrounding recess is formed at a position, opposed to the cap surrounding projection, on a substrate provided with emitter elements, the projection and the recess being joined through a sealant with an absorbent arranged therein. With such a construction, it becomes possible to efficiently take out light from an emitting layer and to highly accurately seal the substrate provided with the emitter elements and the light transmitting cap substrate, thus realizing an organic electro-luminescence device of high reliability.

  • Publication number: 20050269926
    Abstract: Inside surround desiccant pattern A surrounding an organic EL element by bonding an element substrate to a sealing board, outside surround desiccant pattern C surrounding the inside surround desiccant pattern A, and internal desiccant pattern (having a thinner film thickness than the inside surround desiccant pattern A) surrounded by the inside surround desiccant pattern A are formed on the sealing board by one time screen printing. For this purpose, a screen mask is utilized on which opening patterns for the inside and outside surround desiccant patterns A, C and an opening pattern having a narrower opening width than the opening patterns for A and C for forming an internal desiccant pattern are formed. With this configuration, it has been achieved to manufacture a highly reliable organic EL display apparatus in more simplified process.

  • Publication number: 20040095060
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image display apparatus having a construction such that ultraviolet rays irradiated from a second substrate side are prevented from propagating through a first substrate to reach its display area by providing a picture-frame resin film for shielding ultraviolet rays on that area of the first substrate that is to be sealed to the second substrate with a sealant. Thereby, when the sealant for sealing the substrates is cured by irradiation of ultraviolet rays, photo deterioration of organic materials constituting emitting layered products and semiconductor layers constituting active elements both of which are formed on the display area may be prevented, and a high-reliability and high-performance image display apparatus may be realized.
