Thereafter, edge portions of the sealing substrate and edge portions of the resin sheet are removed along a line a. Due to such steps, it is possible to manufacture highly reliable organic EL display devices at a low cost.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: A method of separating a protein by gel electrophoresis, which comprises a staining step for bringing a protein-containing sample into contact with a staining liquid containing a staining agent, a surfactant and a buffer solution, and an electrophoresis step for subjecting the protein-containing sample after the staining step to gel electrophoresis. According to the present invention, using a staining liquid containing a surfactant such as SDS and the like, a protein-containing sample can be stained in a short time, and can develop color with high sensitivity. In addition, since an excess staining agent migrates earlier than protein by electrophoresis, a washing operation is not necessary. Furthermore, by staining, after the first dimension electrophoresis, with a staining liquid containing a surfactant such as SDS and the like, the second dimension electrophoresis can be performed immediately.
