Abstract

The present invention provides a thin organic EL element that can maintain stable emission characteristics for a long time without being affected by water or oxygen. Specifically, the present invention provides an organic EL display panel having a substrate ( 1 ), an organic EL element ( 2 ) formed on the substrate; and a case ( 3 ) encapsulating the organic EL element, wherein a specific hot melt-type member is arranged between the organic EL element and the case.

Claims (17)

1. An organic EL device having a hot melt-type member comprising a water-capturing agent and wax, wherein the water-capturing agent comprises organic metal compounds, wherein the content of the wax is 1 to 3 wt. % per total weight of the hot melt-type member.

2. The organic EL device having the hot melt-type member according to claim 1 , wherein the wax is microcrystalline wax.

3. The organic EL device having the hot melt-type member according to claim 1 , wherein the water-capturing agent further comprises inorganic oxide powders having an average particle diameter of not greater than 90 μm.

4. The organic EL device having the hot melt-type member according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the water-capturing agent is 50 to 99 wt. % per total weight of the hot melt-type member.

5. The organic EL device having the hot melt-type member according to claim 1 , wherein the decrease in weight after conducting vacuum-drying at 150° C. for 4 hours is not greater than 0.1%.

6. The organic EL device having the hot melt-type member according to claim 1 , which is in the form of a thin film having a thickness of not greater than 100 μm.

7. The organic EL device having the hot melt-type member according to claim 1 , wherein the organic EL device is an organic EL display panel, organic solar cell or organic semiconductor.

8. A transferring film comprising the hot melt-type member of claim 1 on a releasing substrate.

9. The organic EL device having the hot melt-type member according to claim 1 , wherein the hot melt-type member is transparent.

10. An organic EL display panel comprising:

a substrate;

an organic EL element formed on the substrate; and

a case encapsulating the organic EL element,

wherein a hot melt-type member comprising a water-capturing agent and wax, wherein the water-capturing agent comprises organic metal compounds, wherein the content of the wax is 1 to 3 wt. % per total weight of the hot melt-type member, is located between the organic EL element and the case.

11. The organic EL display panel according to claim 10 , wherein the space between the organic EL element and the case is substantially occupied by the hot melt-type member.

12. The organic EL display panel according to claim 10 , which further providing a short circuit prevention layer.

13. The organic EL display panel according to claim 12 , wherein the short circuit prevention layer is formed by polyparaxylene.
