Abstract

Disclosed herein is a display including an acceptor substrate having thereon a red light-emitting element column, a green light-emitting element column, and a blue light-emitting element column that 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 (13)

1. A display including organic light-emitting elements formed on an acceptor substrate, the 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, the display formed by a process comprising:

forming a donor including a transfer layer;

forming on the acceptor substrate, for each of the organic light-emitting elements, a first electrode and an insulating layer having an aperture corresponding to a light-emission area of the first electrode;

transferring the transfer layer to the acceptor substrate to form a light-emitting layer of an organic layer of each of the organic light-emitting elements in at least the first column and the second column; and

forming a second electrode on the organic layer,

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

wherein a contact area between the insulating layer and the donor 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 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, a first D point over the insulating layer is at first B point or vertically below first B point over 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 over the insulating layer.

3. The display according to claim 2 wherein a second A point on the donor 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, and a second C point over the insulating layer is at second A point or vertically below second A point over the upper surface of the insulating layer, wherein a second B point on the donor is where a tangent line of the insulating layer is drawn from a first side end of a third light-emission area positioned right-adjacent to the first light-emission area to intersect with the donor, a second D point over the insulating layer is at second B point or vertically below second B point over 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 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.

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.
