View Patent ↗Disclosed is an organic EL display panel which includes: a substrate; a plurality of linear luminescent regions formed on the substrate, the luminescent regions running in parallel to one another; and two or more sub-pixels arranged in a row in each of the luminescent regions; wherein the luminescent regions include a luminescent region having the sub-pixels emitting red light, a luminescent region having the sub-pixels emitting green light, and a luminescent region having the sub-pixels emitting blue light, each of the sub-pixels includes a pixel electrode disposed on the substrate, an organic functional layer disposed on the pixel electrode by coating, a counter electrode disposed on the organic functional layer, and a forward tapered bank which constitutes wall surfaces of a region in which the organic functional layer is formed, and when an inclination angle of the wall surface of the region on the substrate edge side is defined as inclination angle α, and an inclination angle of the wall surface of the region on the substrate center side is defined as inclination angle β, inclination angle α is smaller than inclination angle β in sub-pixel X in luminescent region X provided at the edge of the substrate.
1. An organic EL display panel comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of linear luminescent regions formed on the substrate, the luminescent regions running in parallel to one another; and
two or more sub-pixels arranged in a row in each of the luminescent regions;
wherein the luminescent regions include a luminescent region having the sub-pixels emitting red light, a luminescent region having the sub-pixels emitting green light, and a luminescent region having the sub-pixels emitting blue light,
each of the sub-pixels includes a pixel electrode disposed on the substrate, an organic functional layer disposed on the pixel electrode by coating, a counter electrode disposed on the organic functional layer, and a forward tapered bank which constitutes wall surfaces of a region in which the organic functional layer is formed, and
when an inclination angle of the wall surface of the region on a substrate edge side is defined as inclination angle α, and an inclination angle of the wall surface of the region on a substrate center side is defined as inclination angle β, inclination angle α is smaller than inclination angle β in sub-pixel X in luminescent region X provided at the edge of the substrate.
2. The organic EL display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between inclination angle α and inclination angle β in sub-pixel X is larger than a difference between inclination angle α and inclination angle β in sub-pixel Y which emits a same color of light as sub-pixel X and which is arranged in luminescent region Y positioned at the center of the substrate.
3. The organic EL display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the region in which the organic functional layer is formed in each of the sub-pixels is entirely surrounded by the bank.
4. The organic EL display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the region in which the organic functional layer is formed is shared by the two or more sub-pixels arranged in a row in each of the luminescent region and constitutes one linear region defined by the bank.
5. The organic EL display panel according to claim 4 , wherein in one of the linear luminescent regions, the inclination angles of the wall surfaces of the region in which the organic functional layer is formed are larger at the sub-pixel positioned at a middle of the linear luminescent region than at the sub-pixel positioned at an end of the linear luminescent region.
