Abstract

An organic electro-luminescence (EL) element used for a display device has a glass substrate having a luminescent device on the inner surface, a drying layer formed on the rim of the inner surface of the glass substrate, a sealing layer formed on the rim of the inner surface of the glass substrate and surrounding the drying layer, and a sealing case bonded to the rim of the glass substrate to form an airtight space.

Claims (42)
