Abstract: A connection structure between electrodes includes a center electrode disposed as a transparent electrode on a transparent substrate; paired side electrodes disposed as transparent electrodes on the transparent substrate so as to place the center electrode therebetween; a bridge wire serving as a wire to connect between the paired side electrodes; and an electrically insulating film disposed between the center electrode and the bridge wire; wherein the bridge wire comprises a metal material; the electrically insulating film is disposed so as to be out of contact with the side electrodes at least within a certain range; and the bridge wire is disposed so as to be brought into direct contact with the transparent substrate in a gap region, the gap region being formed by disposing the electrically insulating film so as to bring out of contact with the side electrodes.

Abstract: In an organic EL display, wherein anodes, cathode connection terminals, an insulating film, partition walls, organic compound layers and cathodes are provided on a substrate, the insulating film has apertural areas formed in positions serving as display pixels, and first structure is provided so as to surround connection positions between the cathodes and the cathode connection terminals in a region outside an endmost anode, the first structure avoids the formation of a resistor by preventing an organic material solution from flowing in the first structure when the organic material solution is applied.

Abstract: On a substrate 111, a color filter each comprising color layers 1A, 1B, 1C of three primary colors (red, green and blue) and a liquid-material-spreading preventive member 26 are formed, the liquid-material-spreading preventive member being disposed at the region 31 outside the anode wire formed at the outermost side. Then, a protective layer 4, anodes 101 and cathode supplementary wires 121 are formed on the substrate and an insulation film 122 is formed thereon. In the insulation film 122, openings 123 are formed at positions corresponding to display pixels. Partition walls 100 are formed on the insulation film 122 and a solution of organic material is applied onto the insulation film to form a thin organic compound layer. The spreading of the solution is prevented by the presence of the liquid-material-spreading preventive member 26. After thin organic compound layers are formed, cathode wires 105 are formed.

Abstract: An organic EL element is provided which is capable of restraining chrominance non-uniformity caused by a film thickness distribution of an applied film, of having good display quality, of reducing the driving voltage, and of having interlayer short-circuit endurance. The organic EL element according to one mode of the present invention comprises an anode 11, a cathode 12, and an organic EL layer 13. The organic EL layer comprises a hole injection layer 131 and a hole transport layer 132. The hole injection layer includes organic-thin-film-forming-molecules and dopants oxidizing the organic-thin-film-forming-molecules, the dopants having a reduction potential of 0.5 to 0.85 V with respect to a standard hydrogen electrode, and the hole transport layer having an ionization potential of 8.5×10?19 J (5.3 eV) or below.

Abstract: One mode of the fabricating method according to the present invention comprises the steps of spraying a solution in which a solute forming a least one portion of an organic layer is dissolved; and drying the substrate to evaporate the solvent contained in the sprayed solution; wherein the solution comprises a first solvent capable of dissolving the solute by 1 mass % or above and a volatile solvent capable of completely volatilizing before the sprayed solution has been arrived on the substrate.
