Abstract

Provided is a display apparatus which can easily bond a drive panel and a sealing panel together. The drive panel includes organic electroluminescence devices on a substrate for drive and extracts light from the side of the organic electroluminescence devices. The sealing panel includes a color filter on a substrate for sealing. The drive panel and the sealing panel are disposed to face each other, and the whole facing surfaces of the drive panel and the sealing panel are bonded together with an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is cured with at least heat, and is made of only one coating liquid or a combination of two or more coating liquids for curing. A temporary fixing portion is formed in an edge portion of the adhesive layer. The temporary fixing portion is made of, for example, an ultraviolet cure resin, and is formed so as to straddle between the sealing panel and the drive panel to align their relative positions.

Claims (17)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a first substrate with a plurality of organic electroluminescence devices;

a second substrate with a color filter;

an adhesive layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to cover the plurality of organic electroluminescence devices, the adhesive layer being made of a material selected from the group consisting of a phenol resin, a melanin resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, an epoxy resin, a silicon resin and a polyurethane resin,

wherein each of the plurality of organic electroluminescence devices includes a first electrode, one or more organic layers including a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode laminated in this order on a first surface of the first substrate,

wherein the first and second electrodes are shared among the plurality of organic electroluminescence devices in a direction orthogonal to each other,

and wherein the second substrate faces the first surface of the first substrate.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer is made of at least one coating liquid for curing.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the color filter is disposed on a side of the second substrate facing the first substrate.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a reflected-light absorbing film is disposed on the second substrate.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the reflected-light absorbing film is made of a black resin film or a thin film filter.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a temporary fixing portion made of an ultraviolet cure resin in a part of an edge portion of the adhesive layer.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode includes a semitransparent electrode having semi-transparency for light generated in the light-emitting layer, and a transparent electrode having transmittance for the light generated in the light-emitting layer, which are laminated in this order from the side of the organic layer.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an antireflective film on the second substrate.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a temporary fixing portion made of an ultraviolet cure resin, wherein the temporary fixing portion is in contact with at least a part of an edge portion of the adhesive layer.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second electrodes have a function as wiring to supply a current to the plurality of organic electroluminescence devices.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein light is extracted from a side of the second electrode.
