Abstract

An organic EL display device includes a display area, a measurement area provided outside the display area, an organic layer that is formed in the display area and in the measurement area and includes a light-emitting layer, and a conductive film that is formed on the organic layer in the display area and functions as the upper electrode. The conductive film covers the organic layer in the measurement area.

Claims (29)

1. An organic EL display device comprising:

a display area;

a measurement area outside the display area;

an organic layer in the display area and in the measurement area, the organic layer including a light-emitting layer;

a conductive film, on the organic layer in the display area, for functioning as an upper electrode, the conductive film covering the organic layer in the measurement area; and

a sealing film covering the organic layer and the conductive film in the display area and covering neither the organic layer nor conductive film in the measurement area.

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

a reflective film is formed under the organic layer in the display area and under the organic layer in the measurement area.

3. The organic EL display device according to claim 2 , further comprising

a planarization film under the reflective film.

4. An organic EL display device comprising:

a display area;

a measurement area outside the display area;

an organic layer in the display area and in the measurement area, the organic layer including a light-emitting layer;

a conductive film, on the organic layer in the display area, for functioning as an upper electrode, the conductive film covering the organic layer in the measurement area; and

an underlayer under the organic layer in the measurement area, the underlayer having an opening therein, the organic layer being stacked in the opening.

5. A method for manufacturing an organic EL display device comprising:

preparing a substrate having a display area and a measurement area outside the display area;

forming an organic layer in the display area and in the measurement area, the organic layer including a light-emitting layer;

forming a conductive film on the organic layer in the display area and on the organic layer in the measurement area;

forming a sealing film disposed on the conductive film in the display area and on the conductive film in the measurement area; and

etching the sealing film in the measurement area.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising

forming a reflective film disposed under the organic layer in the display area and under the organic layer in the measurement area.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising

forming a planarization film disposed under the reflective film in the display area and under the reflective film in the measurement area.

8. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

forming an underlayer in the display area and in the measurement area; and

forming an opening in the underlayer in the measurement area.
