  • Publication number: 20070160777
    Abstract: The invention provides a display unit which can realize reduction in thickness and weight of the display unit by omitting a void between a touch panel and a display panel, and its manufacturing method. Whole faces of the touch panel and the display panel are directly bonded together with an adhesive layer in between. The display panel has a structure wherein a driving substrate in which organic light emitting devices are formed and a sealing substrate are bonded together with an adhesive layer in between. The touch panel has a structure wherein a lower plastic film in which a transparent electrode is formed and a touch-side plastic film in which a transparent electrode is formed are layered so that the transparent electrodes are placed opposite. The display panel is constructed with only the driving substrate, and the organic light emitting devices are sealed by the touch panel instead of the sealing substrate. Therefore, thickness and weight of the display unit can be further reduced.

  • Patent number: 7045949
    Abstract: A display unit has R, G, and B light-emitting pixels arranged in a predetermined sequence. The R pixels and the B pixels each have a G-light-absorbing filter at the image display side (light output side or external-light incident side) thereof. The G pixels have no filters. The R and B light-emitting pixels each have a composite structure including a reflective layer, an organic EL layer, and a translucent reflective layer. The translucent reflective layer and the reflective layer constitute an optical resonator that causes multiple interference of light. The transmittance of the G-light-absorbing filter is minimized at the G wavelength, at which the sensitivity of the naked eye is high, and maximized at the R and B wavelengths. Furthermore, the external light reflectance of each pixel is minimized at the G wavelength. This display unit significantly suppresses a decrease in contrast caused by external light without a decrease in luminance of an image.

  • Patent number: 7042546
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a display unit capable of manufacturing a large-screen display unit with high display quality without upsizing manufacturing facilities is provided. Device substrates on which a pixel including the organic light-emitting devices is formed are aligned on the same plane so as to face a sealing substrate. While the device substrates and the sealing substrate are bonded together with an adhesive resin for sealing in between, the adhesive resin for sealing is extruded from a seam portion to the backside of the seam portion so as to fill the seam portion with the adhesive resin for sealing. The backside of the seam portion can be securely sealed through a simple step. The method is suitable for a large-scale display unit using top-emitting organic light-emitting devices. A back sealing member may be disposed on the backside of the seam portion with the extruded adhesive resin for sealing in between. After that, the adhesive resin for sealing is cured.

  • Patent number: 7009340
    Abstract: The invention provides a display unit which can improve emission efficiency of lights for image display, and assure luminance of display images. The display unit comprises micro prisms which are arranged in the positions corresponding to organic EL devices, and which have a high refraction index to refract a light, and auxiliary prisms with a low refraction index which are embedded in voids between each micro prism. A light volume of the light viewed as an image in the direction facing an organic EL display (facing direction) is a total of a light volume of a light essentially emitted from the organic EL device in the facing direction, and lights which are directed in the facing direction by utilizing refraction phenomenon based on differences of refraction index between the micro prism and the auxiliary prism. Compared to the case wherein the micro prisms and the auxiliary prisms are not provided, an emission volume of the light in the facing direction is increased by the light volumes of the lights.
