  • Patent number: 9065021
    Abstract: A space between a lower substrate and an upper substrate including an organic EL light-emitting layer which includes a display region for displaying an image is filled by a dam material which is applied to enclose an exterior edge of the display region and a filling material which is dripped into the interior side of the dam material. The dam material is an epoxy resin with a comparatively high viscosity before hardening and the filling material is an epoxy resin with a comparatively low viscosity before hardening. A substrate concave part is formed between the display region on a surface of the lower substrate and a coating region of the dam material.

  • Patent number: 9035310
    Abstract: The invention prevents disconnection of data lines that traverse two-layered gate lines via an insulating film. Data lines 20 override and thereby traverse gate lines 10 with an insulating film deposited therebetween. The gate lines 10 each have a two-layered structure including a lower AlCu layer 11 and an upper MoCr layer 12. When the thickness ratio of the upper layer 12 to the lower layer 11 is in the range of 0.4 to 1.0, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the etch speed of the upper layer 12 near the side edges of the gate line 10, which occurs due to galvanization. As a result, the upper layer 12 is prevented from having an overhang. The absence of overhangs on the gate lines 10 prevents the data lines 20 from being disconnected at the intersections of the gate lines 10 and the data lines 20.

  • Publication number: 20150090991
    Abstract: A filling material is provided in an interval part between a first substrate provided with a light emitting device in a pixel and a second substrate provided with a color filter layer corresponding to each pixel which is provided to face each other and a protruding part is provided in the interval part. The protruding part is provided separated along one edge of each pixel. An end part in a length direction of the protruding part is formed in a cone or streamlined shape. In addition, the protruding part is formed from a material having light absorbing properties such as carbon black so as to provide light shielding properties. By adopting this structure, it is possible to solve a problem of mixing colors produced between pixels. It is possible to ensure that the flow of the filling material provided between the first substrate and the second substrate is not obstructed.

  • Publication number: 20150076477
    Abstract: A sealing substrate is arranged to oppositely face an element substrate on which organic EL layers are formed in a matrix array with a sealing material sandwiched therebetween. A gel-state desiccant is filled in an inner space surrounded by the element substrate, the sealing substrate and the sealing material. Since the gel-state desiccant is in a gel state, the gel-state desiccant is flexibly filled in the inner space of the organic EL display device thus completely eliminating a gap. Since the inner space is filled with the gel-state desiccant, moisture hardly intrudes into the inner-space from the outside and, at the same time, a mechanical strength of the organic EL display device is also enhanced.

The organic EL element section (1000) is covered with a protective layer (113) including an SiNxOy film. The SiNxOy film has infrared absorption characteristics including: an Si—O—Si stretching vibration absorption peak appearing at energy lower than 1,000 cm?1; an absorption intensity of an Si—N stretching vibration absorption peak appearing in the vicinity of around 870 cm?1 which is 0.75 or more times an absorption intensity of the Si—O—Si stretching vibration absorption peak; and an absorption peak intensity in a range of 2,000 to 4,000 cm?1, which is 5% or less of the absorption intensity of the Si—N stretching vibration absorption peak. Thus, the protective film having an excellent moisture-blocking property may be obtained, and life property of an organic EL display device may be improved.

  • Patent number: 8152583
    Abstract: A mother element substrate and a mother seal substrate are adhered with each other via an adhesive sheet. An adhesive sheet cut portion of the adhesive sheet corresponding to a terminal portion is formed at a time when the adhesive sheet is applied to the mother seal substrate, thus requiring no processing of the terminal portion afterward. Since the adhesive sheet cut portion extends to reach an edge of the adhesive sheet to prevent deformation of the adhesive sheet around the terminal portion after adhering the mother element substrate and the mother seal substrate with each other under the negative pressure so as to be returned to the atmosphere, thus realizing the solid seal type organic EL display device with high reliability.

  • Patent number: 8102115
    Abstract: An organic EL display panel which does not impair a sealing effect and ensures a smooth edge portion when individual organic EL display panels are separated from a mother panel on which a plurality of organic EL display panels are formed is provided. A mother panel is formed by adhering a mother element substrate and a mother sealing substrate by way of an adhesive material sheet. In separating the mother panel into individual organic EL display panels, laser beams are radiated to the mother panel along separation lines so as to lower an adhesive strength of the adhesive material sheet at such portions. Thereafter, scribing is applied to the mother panel along the separation lines. Due to such a constitution, it is possible to realize an organic EL display panel without lowering a sealing effect and ensuring smooth appearance.
