no. 1 approach

[0037] figure 1 It is a schematic plan view showing a part of the structure of the light emitting device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The lighting device 1 has a substrate 10 . Connection terminals 11 are formed at ends of the substrate 10 . Various signals and power supply voltages are supplied from an external circuit to the connection terminal 11 . In addition, a rectangular pixel region G and a peripheral region H located between the pixel region G and the outer periphery of the substrate 10 are provided on the substrate 10 . In the peripheral region H, a scanning line driving circuit 12 and a data line driving circuit (not shown) are formed. In the pixel area G, a plurality of scanning lines 13 and a plurality of data lines 14 are formed, and a plurality of unit circuits (pixel circuits) P ​​are provided near each of these intersections.

no. 2 approach

[0058] Figure 4 is a schematic plan view showing part of the structure of a light emitting device 2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 yes means Figure 4 The sectional view taken along the line B-B' of the light-emitting device 2 shown. The light emitting device 2 differs from the light emitting device 1 in that the sealing layer is formed of a single thin film. In the light-emitting device 2, a sealing layer is formed on the wiring layer 17 and the cathode layer 19 to protect the OLED 50 from external air. This sealing layer is formed of a film of one layer. This thin film is a gas barrier film 24 formed on the wiring layer 17 and the cathode layer 19 .

[0059] The gas barrier film 24 is a film for preventing intrusion of external gases such as oxygen and moisture, and extends to cover the cathode layer 19 . In addition, the gas barrier film 24 spans a length corresponding to the thickness of the insulating film 18 in the vicinity of ...

no. 3 approach

[0064] Image 6 It is a cross-sectional view of a part of the light emitting device 3 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The light emitting device 3 differs from the light emitting device 1 in that it includes a substrate in addition to the substrate 10 . The other substrate is a counter substrate 25 facing the substrate 10 across the OLED 50 . The counter substrate 25 is, for example, a color filter substrate, and is supported by the sealing portion 26 .

[0065] A filling material made of resin is filled between the side of the substrate 10 on which the OLED 50 is provided and the counter substrate 25 .

[0066] In the first and second embodiments, the gas barrier film 23 prevents external air from reaching the OLED 50 , but in this embodiment, the sealing performance is further improved by the filling material, the sealing portion 26 and the counter substrate 25 .

[0067] The sealing portion 26 is formed of, for example, resin, and is provided o...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a light-emitting device including: a substrate (10); a plurality of OLEDs (50) arranged on the substrate (10) and each having a positive electrode (81) and a negative electrode sandwiching a light emitting layer; an insulating film (18) formed on the substrate (10) and insulating the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes of the plurality of OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) (50) from each other; a circumferential wall (20) formed on the substrate (10) and positioned outside the insulating film (18); and a sealing layer formed on the substrate (10) and covering the plurality of OLEDs (50) and the insulating film (18). The sealing layer is composed of one or more layers of thin films, and an end of the thin film (an organic buffer film (22) or a gas barrier layer (24)) having the largest maximum thickness within the thin films constituting the sealing layer is positioned between the insulating film (18) and the circumferential wall (20). Therefore, to reduce the size of a frame even when one or more layers of thin films constituting a sealing layer is formed by a formation method low in positional accuracy, in a light-emitting device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light emitting device having a light emitting element of OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), and an electronic device having the light emitting device. Background technique [0002] An OLED has a structure in which a solid light-emitting layer made of an organic EL (Electro Luminescent) material is sandwiched between an anode and a cathode. As a light-emitting device having an OLED, a light-emitting device having a structure in which a plurality of OLEDs are arranged as pixels on a substrate is known. In this light emitting device, each pixel is sealed so as not to be corroded by external air. One of the sealing methods is to form a thin film on a substrate, and use the formed thin film to form a sealing layer for sealing. In film sealing, the sealing layer may have a single-layer structure as shown in Patent Document 1, or may have a multi-layer structure as shown in Patent Document 2. [0003] Figure 11 It is a...
