Abstract

An organic light emitting device includes a first electrode and a second electrode, an organic layer including a light emitting layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, and an insulating film covering a rim of the first electrode from a surface thereof to a side surface thereof, and having an internal wall surface being in contact with the organic layer, and one or more corner sections in the internal wall surface with a ridge line thereof in parallel with the surface of the first electrode.

Claims (25)

1. An organic light emitting device comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode;

an organic layer including a light emitting layer between the first electrode and the second electrode; and

an insulating film covering a rim of the first electrode from a top surface thereof to a side surface thereof, and having an aperture therein above the first electrode,

wherein the insulating film has an internal wall surface that is in contact with the organic layer and forms a border of the aperture, the internal wall surface including at least a first face portion and a second face portion, the first face portion extending from the first electrode to the second face portion, the second face portion extending from the first face portion toward a top surface of the insulating film,

wherein a first angle θ 1 between the first face portion and the top surface of the first electrode is larger than a second angle θ 2 between the second face portion and a line parallel to the top surface of the first electrode, and

wherein the second angle θ 2 is such that 20°≦θ2≦45°.

2. A display unit comprising

a plurality of organic light emitting devices,

wherein the organic light emitting devices include:

a first electrode and a second electrode;

an organic layer including a light emitting layer between the first electrode and the second electrode; and

an insulating film covering a rim of the first electrode from a top surface thereof to a side surface thereof, and having an aperture therein above the first electrode,

wherein the insulating film has an internal wall surface that is in contact with the organic layer and forms a border of the aperture, the internal wall surface including at least a first face portion and a second face portion, the first face portion extending from the first electrode to the second face portion, the second face portion extending from the first face portion toward a top surface of the insulating film,

wherein a first angle θ 1 between the first face portion and the top surface of the first electrode is larger than a second angle θ 2 between the second face portion and a line parallel to the top surface of the first electrode, and

wherein the second angle θ 2 is such that 20°≦θ2≦45°.

3. An organic light emitting device comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode;

an organic layer including a light emitting layer between the first electrode and the second electrode; and

an insulating film covering a rim of the first electrode from a top surface thereof to a side surface thereof, and having an aperture therein above the first electrode,

wherein the insulating film has an internal wall surface that is in contact with the organic layer and forms a border of the aperture, the internal wall surface including at least a first face portion and a second face portion, the first face portion extending from the first electrode to the second face portion, the second face portion extending from the first face portion toward a top surface of the insulating film, and an intersection of the first and second face portions forming a ridge line in parallel with the top surface of the first electrode,

wherein a first angle θ 1 between the first face portion and the top surface of the first electrode is such that 70°≦θ1≦90°, and

wherein a second angle θ 2 between the second face portion and a line parallel to the top surface of the first electrode is such that 20°≦θ2≦45°.

4. The display unit of claim 2 ,

wherein the organic layer is continued between the apertures of the plurality of organic light emitting devices.
