A top-emission organic EL display device includes a substrate, pixel electrodes, auxiliary electrode, insulating layer formed between the pixel electrodes and includes an opening to expose the auxiliary electrode, organic EL layer formed on the pixel electrodes and includes organic layers, at least one formed on the auxiliary electrode, a contact portion being an opening of the organic layer formed on the auxiliary electrode, and transparent electrode layer formed on the organic EL layer and the contact portion. When an insulating layer overlap distance between the contact portion and pixel electrode adjacent to the contact portion with respect to the pixel electrode is regarded as 'a' and an insulating layer overlap distance between the contact portion and pixel electrode adjacent to the contact portion with respect to the auxiliary electrode is regarded as 'b', at least one of &#x201c;a&#x201d; and &#x201c;b&#x201d; is equal to or greater than 2 &#x3bc;m.

Top-emission organic electroluminescence display device and production method therefor

To provide an element manufacturing method and element manufacturing apparatus for efficiently manufacturing an element such as an organic semiconductor element. First, an intermediate product, which includes a substrate and a protrusion extending in a normal direction of the substrate, is formed. Next, the intermediate product is covered, at a side where the protrusion is provided, with a first surface of a lid member. After the covering of the intermediate product, a gas is injected into an enclosed space formed at a side of a second surface of the lid member that is present on an opposite side of the first surface. This enhances an internal pressure of the enclosed space, thus bringing the first surface of the lid member into close contact with the intermediate product.

Element manufacturing method and element manufacturing apparatus utilizing differential pressure for covering a substrate

An element manufacturing method and apparatus for efficiently manufacturing an element such as an organic semiconductor element. First, an intermediate product that includes a substrate and a protrusion extending in a normal direction of the substrate is provided. Next, in a stacking chamber conditioned to a vacuum environment, a stacked structure is formed by continuously stacking a lid member on the intermediate product at a side where the protrusion is provided. After this operation, the stacked structure is transported from the stacking chamber to a first pressure chamber coupled to the stacking chamber and conditioned to a first pressure higher than the pressure in the vacuum environment. Next, the stacked structure is further transported from the first pressure chamber to a separation chamber coupled to the first pressure chamber and conditioned to a vacuum environment, and then the stacked structure is separated into the intermediate product and the lid member.

Element manufacturing method and element manufacturing apparatus

An element manufacturing method in which a section of a substrate that is irradiated with laser light can be covered efficiently. A plurality of protrusions of an intermediate product are lined up in a first direction on a substrate, and a sealing mechanism includes one pair of rollers that rotate around a rotational axis extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The paired rollers are lined up spacedly in the first direction. In a sealing step using the sealing mechanism, a section of a lid member that is being tensioned between the paired rollers is in close contact with a part of the intermediate product. In an irradiation step, light passes through the section of the lid member that is being tensioned between the paired rollers, and reaches the intermediate product.

A method for producing top-emission organic EL display device, in which, using cover material having flexibility such as resin film, space between organic EL layer-side substrate and cover material is made into decompressed state, thereafter, adhesion properties between organic EL layer-side substrate and cover material is maintained by retaining decompressed state in the space between organic EL layer-side substrate and cover material when adhering organic EL layer-side substrate and cover material by adjusting pressure of space on opposite side to the organic EL layer-side substrate, in relation to cover material so that deterioration in display properties can be restrained by preventing organic layer on auxiliary electrode removed by laser light from being scattered on pixel area. In the method for producing top-emission organic EL display device described above, resin film including barrier property with oxygen permeability of 100 cc/m2&#xb7;day or less is used as the cover material.
