Display, method for producing display, and electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗A display includes a first substrate including elements arranged on a main surface of the first substrate, a second substrate arranged so as to face the main surface of the first substrate on which the elements are arranged, a first sealing layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to cover the elements, and a second sealing layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to surround the first sealing layer. The second substrate has a peripheral projection, the entirety of which projects toward the side on which the elements are arranged, and the peripheral projection surrounds the first sealing layer. The second sealing layer is arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to extend from the periphery of the first sealing layer to the peripheral projection.
1. A display comprising:
a first substrate including elements arranged on a main surface of the first substrate;
a second substrate arranged so as to face the main surface of the first substrate on which the elements are arranged;
a first sealing layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to cover the elements and fill in between the elements, the first sealing layer having a planar major surface facing the second substrate; and
a second sealing layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to surround a periphery of the first sealing layer but not to overlap the major surface of the first sealing layer, wherein,
the second substrate has a peripheral projection, the entirety of which projects toward the first substrate to form a first portion of a planar sidewall,
the peripheral projection surrounds the first sealing layer,
the second sealing layer is arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to (i) extend from the periphery of the first sealing layer to the peripheral projection, (ii) form a second portion of the planar sidewall, and (iii) be between the periphery of the first sealing layer and the peripheral projection, and
the first sealing layer and the second sealing layer are arranged adjacent to each other along the first substrate.
2. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the second sealing layer extends between the first substrate and the peripheral projection.
3. The display according to claim 1 , wherein:
each of the first substrate and the second substrate is composed of an organic material, and
a protective film is arranged on at least one surface of each of the first substrate and the second substrate.
4. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the peripheral projection is shorter as measured from said second substrate than a height of the first sealing layer as measured from said first substrate major surface.
5. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the second substrate is formed integrally with the peripheral projection.
6. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the elements are organic electroluminescent elements.
7. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the first sealing layer and the second sealing layer are formed directly on the first substrate.
8. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the second substrate terminates at the second sealing layer.
9. An electronic apparatus with a panel, the panel comprising:
a first substrate provided with elements arranged on a main surface of the first substrate;
a second substrate arranged so as to face the main surface of the first substrate on which the elements are arranged;
a first sealing layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to cover the elements and fill in between the elements, the first sealing layer having a planar major surface facing the second substrate; and
a second sealing layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to surround a periphery of the first sealing layer but not to overlap the major surface of the first sealing layer, wherein,
the second substrate has a peripheral projection, the entirety of which projects toward the first substrate to form a first portion of a planar sidewall,
the peripheral projection surrounds the first sealing layer,
the second sealing layer is arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to (i) extend from the periphery of the first sealing layer to the peripheral projection, (ii) form a second portion of the planar sidewall and (iii) be between the periphery of the first sealing layer and the peripheral projection, and
the first sealing layer and the second sealing layer are arranged adjacent to each other along the first substrate.
10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the panel is a display panel.
11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first sealing layer and the second sealing layer are formed directly on the first substrate.
12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the second substrate terminates at the second sealing layer.
