Abstract

An organic electro luminescence device includes a light emission unit disposed on a substrate and a passivation film including a plurality of organic films and a plurality of inorganic films, the plurality of organic films and the plurality of inorganic films are alternately stacked to cover the light emission unit on the substrate, wherein a side of the passivation film disposed between an edge of the substrate and an edge of the light emission unit is gradually thinner from the edge of the light emission unit towards the edge of the substrate.

Claims (9)

1. An organic electro luminescence device comprising:

a light emission unit disposed on a substrate; and

a passivation film including a plurality of organic films and a plurality of inorganic films, the plurality of organic films and the plurality of inorganic films are alternately stacked to cover the light emission unit on the substrate,

wherein a side of the passivation film disposed between an edge of the substrate and an edge of the light emission unit is gradually thinner from the edge of the light emission unit towards the edge of the substrate, and edges of the plurality of the inorganic films contact each other to seal the plurality of the organic films thereunder.

2. The organic electro luminescence device of claim 1 , wherein the side of the passivation film disposed between the edge of the substrate and the edge of the light emission unit constantly tapers from the edge of the light emission unit towards the edge of the substrate when viewed in a cross-section.

3. The organic electro luminescence device of claim 1 , wherein each of the inorganic films of the plurality of inorganic films has a uniform thickness.

4. The organic electro luminescence device of claim 1 , wherein a first organic film which contacts the light emission unit among the plurality of the organic films is gradually thinner from the edge of the light emission unit towards the edge of the substrate, and an edge of the first organic film is separated from the edge of the substrate.

5. The organic electro luminescence device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the organic films are gradually thinner from the edge of the light emission unit towards the edge of the substrate, and an edge of a first organic film contacting the light emission unit is separated from the edge of the substrate.

6. The organic electro luminescence device of claim 1 , wherein a first organic film contacting the light emission unit among the plurality of the organic films is a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyurea, polyamic acid and polyimide.
