Organic EL display
An organic EL display of the present invention includes a plurality of organic EL devices, each including a first electrode, an intermediate insulating film disposed on the first electrode so as to have an exposed portion in which the first electrode is partially exposed, an organic layer disposed on the exposed portion, and a second electrode disposed on the organic layer. The organic layer has, on a part disposed on the exposed portion, a thick film portion disposed around the center of the exposed portion and a thin film portion disposed around the end of the exposed portion and having a smaller thickness than the thick film portion, and the thin film portions of the adjacent organic EL devices are substantially equal in width.
1. An organic EL display comprising:
a plurality of organic EL devices, each including:
a first electrode,
an intermediate insulating film disposed on the first electrode so as to form an exposed portion in which the first electrode is partially exposed,
an organic layer disposed on the exposed portion, and
a second electrode disposed on the organic layer,
wherein the organic layer has a thick film portion disposed around a center of the exposed portion and a thin film portion disposed around an end of the exposed portion and having a smaller thickness than the thick film portion, both of the thick and thin film portions comprising light emitting region,
wherein the thin film portions of the adjacent organic EL devices have substantially same width, and
wherein while ΔW represents a variation in the width of the thin film portion between the adjacent organic EL devices and W A represents an average width of the exposed portions of the adjacent organic EL devices, ΔW/W A is 0.05 or less.
2. The organic EL display according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the thin film portion is a distance from the intermediate insulating film to the thick film portion along a predetermined direction in the organic EL device.
3. The organic EL display according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of organic EL devices are arranged at a first predetermined interval along a first direction and arranged at a second predetermined interval along a second direction, the second predetermined interval being relatively shorter than the first predetermined interval, and wherein the predetermined direction includes the second direction.
4. The organic EL display according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate insulating film is formed so as to surround the exposed portion.
5. The organic EL display according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the thin film portion is 95% or less of a thickness of the thick film portion.
6. The organic EL display according to claim 3 , wherein the organic EL device has a rectangular shape having long sides and short sides in plan view and disposed so that a direction along the long side is substantially parallel with the first direction and a direction along the short side is substantially parallel with the second direction.
7. An organic EL display comprising:
a first organic EL device and a second organic EL device, each including:
a first electrode,
an intermediate insulating film disposed on the first electrode so as to form an exposed portion in which the first electrode is partially exposed,
an organic layer disposed on the exposed portion, and
a second electrode disposed on the organic layer,
wherein the organic layer has a thick film portion disposed around a center of the exposed portion and a thin film portion disposed around an end of the exposed portion and having a smaller thickness than the thick film portion, both of the thick and thin film portions comprising light emitting region, and
wherein while ΔW represents a variation in the width of the thin film portions of the first and the second organic EL devices and W A represents an average width of the exposed portions of the first and the second organic EL devices, ΔW/W A is 0.05 or less.
8. The organic EL display according to claim 7 , wherein the thickness of the thin film portion is 95% or less of a thickness of the thick film portion.
