Abstract

The invention provides an organic electroluminescence device having an input function, including: an element substrate that has a light-emitting layer sandwiched between a positive electrode and negative electrode in each of a plurality of sub pixel regions that are arrayed in a matrix pattern; a sealing substrate that seals the element substrate; and a touch panel section that is provided at the outer-surface side of the sealing substrate. In such a configuration of the organic electroluminescence device having an input function according to an aspect of the invention, the negative electrode is formed on an individual basis so as to correspond to the display color of each of the sub pixel regions; and the sealing substrate has a shield conductor that is formed on the element-substrate side of the sealing substrate, the shield conductor having a fixed potential.

Claims (10)

1. An organic electroluminescence device having an input function, comprising:

an element substrate that has a light-emitting layer sandwiched between a positive electrode and negative electrode in each of a plurality of sub pixel regions that are arrayed in a matrix pattern;

a sealing substrate that seals the element substrate; and

a touch panel section that is provided at the outer-surface side of the sealing substrate,

wherein the negative electrode is formed on an individual basis so as to correspond to the display color of each of the sub pixel regions; and

the sealing substrate has a shield conductor that is formed on the element-substrate side of the sealing substrate, the shield conductor having a ground potential.

2. The organic electroluminescence device having an input function according to claim 1 , wherein the shield conductor constitutes a light-shielding film.

3. The organic electroluminescence device having an input function according to claim 1 , wherein the shield conductor has optical transparency.

4. The organic electroluminescence device having an input function according to claim 1 , wherein the shield conductor has a light-transmissive portion that is formed in a planar pattern on the inner surface of the sealing substrate and a light-shielding portion that functions as a light-shielding film.

5. An electronic apparatus that is provided with the organic electroluminescence device having an input function according to claim 1 .
