Abstract

An organic EL device in accordance with the invention has a structure in which a first electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode are formed on a substrate in this order, and light from the light-emitting layer is emitted to an exterior of the device via the second electrode.

Claims (13)

1. An organic EL device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of first electrodes, each of the first electrodes corresponding to each of the pixels being formed on the substrate;

a light-emitting layer formed over the first electrodes;

a pixel partition including an insulating material positioned between the pixels;

an auxiliary electrode including a light-absorbing conductive material and having a pattern corresponding to a pattern of the pixel partition; and

a second electrode continuous over the light-emitting layer and the auxiliary electrode.

2. The organic EL device according to claim 1 , the substrate being a semiconductor substrate having an integrated circuit formed thereon.

3. The organic EL device according to claim 1 , wherein, after at least one of the second electrode and the auxiliary electrode are formed, a protective substrate having a light absorbing layer formed at a position corresponding to a position between the pixels is disposed so that the pixel and an area of the protective substrate corresponding to the pixels are aligned with each other, and the protective substrate is subsequently bonded thereto with a sealing resin provided therebetween.

4. The organic EL device according to claim 1 , the pixel partition including a first layer and a second layer.

5. The organic EL device according to claim 4 , the first layer protruding from the second layer and delineating the light-emitting layer.

6. The organic EL device according to claim 1 , the auxiliary electrode including carbon or chromium.

7. The organic EL device according to claim 3 , the integrated circuit including at least one of a controller, a power supply circuit, an X driver and a Y driver.
