Abstract: An organic EL display device or a lighting device is covered by sealing the top and bottom, left and right, front and back, that is the entire body and periphery of the panel, with an air-impermeable sealing resin. Dipping the substrate plate or printing the sealing resin onto the substrate plate is applied to the substrate plate excluding the display area and light emitting area of the organic EL panel to block intrusion of air and moisture that affect the life of the organic EL element. With this, the life of an organic EL panel can be extended, and large screen size and mass production of panel can be also easily accomplished.
