Abstract:
An organic electroluminescence device includes a substrate, a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged on the substrate, each including a pair of electrodes and an organic light-emitting layer disposed between the electrodes, an organic buffer layer covering the plurality of light-emitting elements, and a gas barrier layer covering the organic buffer layer. The gas barrier layer has a structure wherein first inorganic films and second inorganic films are alternately stacked. The first inorganic films contain a silicon compound containing nitrogen, the second inorganic films contain an oxide of the formation material of the first inorganic films and each have a thickness smaller than that of each first inorganic film. The numbers of the first inorganic films and the second inorganic films are each at least two.

Abstract:
A sequential multi-layer coating method comprises: applying a photosensitive layer protection layer (A) L1 with a rod coating device onto a continuously traveling web; and applying a photosensitive layer protection layer (B) L2 with an extrusion coating device, wherein W/[U(γ1−γ2)]≧0.018 . . . (A1) is satisfied when W (cc/m2) represents a wet coating amount of the photosensitive layer protection layer (B) L2; U (m/min.) represents a traveling speed of the web; γ1 (mN/m) represents a dynamic surface tension of the photosensitive layer protection layer (B) L2; and γ2 (mN/m) represents a static surface tension of the photosensitive layer protection layer (A) L1. This method provides stable coating without coating defects such as poor coating, liquid repellency and coating streak when a non-contact coater is used as a coating device for the upper layer to conduct sequential multi-layer coating.
Abstract:
A light-emitting device includes: a plurality of light-emitting elements each of which has an anode, a thin organic light-emitting layer, and a cathode sequentially stacked on a substrate and emits light by excitation due to an electric field, the anode being separated from another anode by an insulating pixel partition wall; an organic buffer layer that is formed of an organic compound, covers an area larger than a region where the plurality of light-emitting elements are formed, has a step difference smaller than that of an upper surface of the cathode on the substrate, and is approximately flat; and first and second gas barrier layers that are formed of an inorganic compound, are disposed on an outer surface of the organic buffer layer, and protect the plurality of light-emitting elements against air. Only one of the first and second gas barrier layers is adjacent to an upper surface of an insulating layer formed of an inorganic compound on the substrate so as to cover an area larger than that of the organic buffer layer.
