Benefits of technology

[0066]The thin-film formed substrate, the organic EL display device, the color filter substrate, and the method of producing a thin-film formed substrate of the present invention enable production of a thin-film formed substrate which can easily achieve improvement in thin-film flatness and a yield rate; an organic electroluminescent display device; a color filter substrate; and a method of producing a thin-film formed substrate.

Problems solved by technology

Since an organic EL element is formed by laminating thin films (organic EL layers) in the above way, it has been particularly difficult for such an organic EL element to have uniformly controlled film thicknesses as compared to color filter substrates and wiring substrates.
At this time, the functional fluid may not be sufficiently maintained within the region surrounded by the bank depending on the shape of the bank and, as a result, the functional fluid may not completely cover the hole transport layer and the anode.
The decrease causes problems such as a decrease in brightness, generation of heat, and an increase in power consumption, which lead to major problems in the power efficiency or the element life.
The above problems similarly arise in a structure in which an electron transport layer is arranged between the cathode and the light-emitting layer, when there is contact, without the light-emitting layer interposed, between the anode and the cathode, between the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, between the hole transport layer and the cathode, or between the electron transport layer and the anode.
As a result, the organic EL layers can have different thicknesses for the respective pixels, and the difference appears as display unevenness.
