Abstract

An organic EL device includes: a bank provided to surround a first anode (second anode) on a substrate; a red emission layer (green emission layer) provided at an opening portion of the bank; a third anode having the same polarity as that of the first anode provided on the bank; a blue emission layer provided at an entire portion of the substrate including the third anode; and a cathode having a different polarity from those of the first anode and the third anode provided to cover the blue emission layer.

Claims (31)

1. An organic EL device comprising:

a partition provided to surround a first electrode on a substrate;

a first emission layer provided in an opening portion of the partition;

a second electrode having the same polarity as that of the first electrode provided on the partition;

a second emission layer provided in an entire portion of the substrate including the second electrode;

a third electrode having a different polarity from those of the first electrode and the second electrode provided to cover the second emission layer; and

a transistor controlling light emission of the second emission layer provided between the substrate and the partition, wherein

the second electrode and the transistor are electrically connected to each other by at least two step contact holes.

2. The organic EL device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first electrode and the second electrode are an anode and the third electrode is a cathode.

3. The organic EL device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first emission layer is configured by a coating film, and

the second emission layer is configured by a deposition film.

4. The organic EL device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first emission layer is a layer emitting at least one of red and green lights, and

the second emission layer is a layer emitting blue light.

5. An organic EL device comprising:

a partition provided to surround a first electrode on a substrate;

a first emission layer provided in an opening portion of the partition;

a second electrode having the same polarity as that of the first electrode provided on the partition;

a second emission layer provided in an entire portion of the substrate including the second electrode; and

a third electrode having a different polarity from those of the first electrode and the second electrode provided to cover the second emission layer, wherein

the partition is provided at a region overlapping a region including a driving circuit on the substrate, a wire connected with the driving circuit and a capacitor in a planar fashion.

6. The organic EL device according to claim 5 , wherein

the first electrode and the second electrode are an anode and the third electrode is a cathode.

7. The organic EL device according to claim 5 , wherein

the first emission layer is configured by a coating film, and

the second emission layer is configured by a deposition film.

8. The organic EL device according to claim 5 , wherein

the first emission layer is a layer emitting at least one of red and green lights, and

the second emission layer is a layer emitting blue light.
