Abstract

A display is provided. The display includes an acceptor substrate including red light-emitting elements arranged in a first column, green light-emitting elements arranged in a second column, and blue light-emitting elements arranged in a third column. The light-emitting elements are arranged along a row direction and are each obtained by arranging rectangular organic light-emitting elements for generating light of one of red, green, and blue along a longitudinal direction of the organic light-emitting elements.

Claims (12)

1. A display comprising an acceptor substrate including a plurality of organic light-emitting elements, the plurality of organic light-emitting elements including a plurality of organic red light-emitting elements arranged in a first column, a plurality of organic green light-emitting elements arranged in a second column, and a plurality of organic blue light-emitting elements arranged in a third column, wherein each of the organic light-emitting elements include a first electrode, an insulating layer having an aperture corresponding to a light-emission area of the first electrode, an organic layer including a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode, wherein the light-emitting layers in at least the first column and the second column are provided by transferring a transfer layer from a donor substrate to the acceptor substrate, and wherein when the donor substrate is arranged away from the acceptor substrate at a distance at least substantially equal to a height of the insulating layer, a first A point on the donor substrate is where a tangent line of the insulating layer is drawn from a left-side end of a first light-emission area to intersect with the donor substrate, a first C point on the insulating layer is at first A Point or vertically below first A point on an upper surface of the insulating layer, and the light-emitting layer is formed over the insulating layer to cover at least first C point designated on the insulating layer, wherein a contact area between the insulating layer and the donor substrate in the third column that includes the organic blue light-emitting elements is larger than contact area in the first column that includes the organic red light-emitting elements and the contact area in the second column that includes the organic green light-emitting elements.

2. The display according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first B point on the donor substrate is where a tangent line of the insulating layer is drawn from a right-side end of a second light-emission area positioned left-adjacent to the first light-emission area to intersect with the donor substrate, a first D point on the insulating layer is at first B point or vertically below first B point on the upper surface of the insulating layer, and the light-emitting layer is formed over the insulating layer while not covering first D point designated on the insulating layer.

3. The display according to claim 2 ,

wherein a second A point on the donor substrate is where a tangent line of the insulating layer is drawn from a right-side end of the first light-emission area to intersect with the donor substrate, and a second C point on the insulating layer is at second A point or vertically below second A point on the upper surface of the insulating layer,

wherein a second B point on the donor substrate is where a tangent line of the insulating layer is drawn from a left-side end of a third light-emission area positioned right-adjacent to the first light-emission area to intersect with the donor substrate, a second D point on the insulating layer is at second B point or vertically below second B point on the upper surface of the insulating layer, and

wherein a distance CC is a distance between the first C point and the second C point, a distance DD is a distance between the first D point and the second D point, and a width of the transferred light-emitting layer along the row direction corresponding to the first light-emission area is greater than or equal to the distance CC and less than the distance DD.

4. The display according to claim 1 , wherein

a distance along the row direction between an end of the first light-emission area and a contact face between the insulating layer and the donor substrate is greater than or equal to 4 μm.

5. The display according to claim 1 , wherein

the transferred light-emitting layer is formed on an area other than a contact face between the insulating layer and the donor substrate.

6. The display according to claim 1 , wherein a rib is located over the insulating layer in the third column that includes the organic blue light-emitting elements, and an upper surface of the rib contacts the donor substrate.
