  • Publication number: 20160372672
    Abstract: The present invention intends to realize a narrow frame of a system on panel. In addition to this, a system mounted on a panel is intended to make higher and more versatile in the functionality. In the invention, on a panel on which a pixel portion (including a liquid crystal element, a light-emitting element) and a driving circuit are formed, integrated circuits that have so far constituted an external circuit are laminated and formed. Specifically, of the pixel portion and the driving circuit on the panel, on a position that overlaps with the driving circuit, any one kind or a plurality of kinds of the integrated circuits is formed by laminating according to a transcription technique.

  • Patent number: 9412948
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light emitting device is provided in which satisfactory image display can be performed by the investigation and repair of short circuits in defect portions of light emitting elements. A backward direction electric current flows in the defect portions if a reverse bias voltage is applied to the light emitting elements having the defect portions. Emission of light which occurred from the backward direction electric current flow is measured by using an emission microscope, specifying the position of the defect portions, and short circuit locations can be repaired by irradiating a laser to the defect portions, turning them into insulators.

  • Publication number: 20150325173
    Abstract: A display system in which the luminance of light-emitting elements in a light-emitting device is adjusted based on information on an environment. A sensor obtains information on an environment as an electrical signal. A CPU converts, based on comparison data set in advance, the information signal into a correction signal for correcting the luminance of EL elements. Upon receiving this correction signal, a voltage changer applies a predetermined corrected potential to the EL elements. Thus, this display system enables control of the luminance of the EL elements.

  • Patent number: 7994711
    Abstract: An active matrix light emitting device of which luminance characteristic does not vary among light emitting elements of respective pixels, and which can be realized even in a high definition display panel is disclosed. In the light emitting device, a light emitting material is interposed between a first electrode and a second electrode electrically connected to an auxiliary wiring, not only in a peripheral portion but also in a pixel portion. A layer containing the light emitting material comprises a first buffer layer, a light emitting layer, and a second buffer layer. In the pixel portion, either one or both of the first and the second buffer layer are interposed between the auxiliary wiring and the second electrode where the second electrode and the auxiliary wiring are electrically connected.
