Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an organic EL display device that includes: a substrate; a first electrode provided on the substrate; an organic EL layer provided on the first electrode; a second electrode provided on the organic EL layer; and a sealing film layer provided so as to cover the second electrode. The sealing film layer has protruding portions and recessed portions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing an organic electro-luminescence display device, the method comprising the steps of: forming a first electrode on a substrate; forming an organic electro-luminescence layer on the first electrode; forming a second electrode on the organic electro-luminescence layer; and forming a sealing film layer having protruding portions and recessed portions that have a finer density than a subpixel pitch so that the sealing film layer covers the second electrode, wherein, in the step of forming the sealing film layer having protruding portions and recessed portions, a sealing film layer having a single layer structure is formed by using a mask that has full-open apertures that completely pass through the mask, and half-open apertures at which thickness of the mask is decreased. 2. The method for producing an organic electro-luminescence display device according to claim 1 , further comprising providing a flexible substrate covering the sealing film layer. 3. The method for producing an organic electro-luminescence display device according to claim 1 , wherein, in the step of forming the sealing film layer, the sealing film layer is formed by using a mask in which the full-open apertures are arranged in a lattice pattern and the half-open apertures are arranged in areas surrounded by the full-open apertures in the lattice pattern. 4. The method for producing an organic electro-luminescence display device according to claim 3 , wherein the lattice pattern is a diagonal lattice pattern. 5. The method for producing an organic electro-luminescence display device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing film layer is formed in such a shape that the protruding portions and the recessed portions are arrayed alternately by using a mask in which the full-open apertures and the half-open apertures are arranged alternately in one direction. 6. The method for producing an organic electro-luminescence display device according to claim 1 , wherein, in the step of forming the sealing film layer having protruding portions and recessed portions, the sealing film layer is formed so that a height from a bottom of the recessed portions to a top of the protruding portions is in a range of 100 nm to 5000 nm.
