Abstract

An organic EL element having a functional layer with a uniform film thickness is provided. The organic EL element of the present invention contains a substrate; an anode electrode set on the substrate; an organic EL layer set on the anode electrode; a cathode electrode set on the organic EL layer; and a bank having a forward tapered shape, which define the organic EL layer. The bank contains a fluorine resin, the fluorine concentration at a top of the bank is higher than the fluorine concentration at a bottom surface of the bank, and a height of the top of the bank from the substrate is 0.8 to 1.2 μm.

Claims (13)

1. A top emission type organic EL display panel comprising:

a substrate;

anode electrodes set on the substrate;

hole transport layers set on the anode electrodes, the hole transport layers containing tungsten oxide, molybdenum oxide, vanadium oxide, or a combination thereof;

organic EL layers set on the hole transport layers;

transparent cathode electrodes set on the organic EL layers; and

a plurality of linear banks having a forward tapered shape, which define the organic EL layers; wherein:

the plurality of linear banks contain a fluorine resin,

a fluorine concentration at a top of the plurality of linear banks is higher than a fluorine concentration at a bottom surface of the plurality of linear banks, and

a height of the top of the plurality of linear banks from the substrate is 0.8 to 1.2 μm.

2. The top emission type organic EL display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorine concentration at the top of the plurality of linear banks is 5 to 10 atom % and the fluorine concentration at the bottom surface of the plurality of linear banks is 0 to 3 atom %.

3. The top emission type organic EL display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising thin film transistors each including a source electrode or a drain electrode, wherein:

the anode electrodes are connected with respective thin film transistors at the source electrode or the drain electrode.
