  • Publication number: 20200259109
    Abstract: A light emitting element includes a flexible plate-like portion having a glass substrate, and an organic functional layer formed on one surface side of the glass substrate. The organic functional layer includes a light emitting layer. When the plate-like portion is curved in a prescribed curving direction, and one surface of the plate-like portion is a concave surface, and the other surface thereof is a convex surface, a surface which is positioned on the concave surface side among both surfaces of the glass substrate is referred to as a first surface. When the plate-like portion is curved in a curving direction, and the one surface of the plate-like portion is a concave surface, and the other surface thereof is a convex surface, a compressive stress is applied to a portion whose distance from the first surface of the glass substrate is less than or equal to L (L>T/2).

  • Publication number: 20200251684
    Abstract: A light-emitting unit (140) is located on a first surface (100a) side of a substrate (100). At least a portion of an organic layer is located between the light-emitting unit (140) and an end (100c) of the substrate (100). In the example shown in FIG. 1, this organic layer is an organic insulating film (150) . Below, a description will be given with the organic layer as the organic insulating film (150). However, this organic layer maybe an organic layer (120) which will be described later. A first covering layer (200) covers the light-emitting unit (140) and the organic insulating film (150). An intermediate layer (300) is in contact with a surface of the first covering layer (200) on the opposite side of the substrate (100), and at least a portion of the intermediate layer is located more to the end (100c) side than the organic insulating film (150).
