Abstract

A method of manufacturing an organic EL display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: forming a plurality of lower electrodes respectively corresponding to a plurality of pixels on a substrate; forming a plurality of banks, which partition the pixels, between adjacent lower electrodes on the substrate; forming an organic material layer on the lower electrodes and the banks; and selectively irradiating the organic material layer on the banks with an energy ray from a direction of a surface of the organic material layer opposite to a surface of the organic material layer in contact with the banks.

Claims (19)

1. A method of manufacturing an organic EL display device, comprising:

forming a plurality of lower electrodes respectively corresponding to a plurality of pixels on a substrate;

forming a plurality of banks, which partition the pixels, between adjacent lower electrodes on the substrate;

forming an organic material layer on the lower electrodes and the banks; and

selectively irradiating the organic material layer on the banks with an energy ray from a direction of a surface of the organic material layer opposite to a surface of the organic material layer in contact with the banks,

wherein an area to be irradiated with the energy ray is an area that overlaps one of the banks in plan view and is located outside an adjacent pixel.

2. The method of manufacturing the organic EL display device according to claim 1 , further comprising

forming a plurality of upper electrodes on the organic material layer after the organic material layer being irradiated with the energy ray.

3. The method of manufacturing the organic EL display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the organic material layer includes a hole transport layer.

4. The method of manufacturing the organic EL display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the organic material layer is a hole transport layer.

5. The method of manufacturing the organic EL display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the energy ray has a wavelength that is absorbable by the hole transport layer.

6. The method of manufacturing the organic EL display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the energy ray is a laser beam.

7. The method of manufacturing the organic EL display device according to claim 1 , further comprising forming a mask on the organic material layer, wherein

in the irradiating step, the organic material layer on the banks is selectively irradiated with ultraviolet light using the mask from a side of the organic material layer opposite to the banks.

8. The method of manufacturing the organic EL display device according to claim 1 , wherein an altered area of the organic material layer is formed in the area that overlaps the bank in plan view and is located outside the pixel by selectively irradiating.
