Abstract

An organic electroluminescent apparatus including a substrate, an organic light-emitting device layer, a patterned structure layer and an encapsulation film is provided. The substrate has a light-emitting region and a non-light-emitting region. The organic light-emitting device layer is disposed on the substrate in the light-emitting region. The patterned structure layer is disposed on the substrate in the non-light-emitting region. The encapsulation film is disposed on the substrate and covers the organic light-emitting device layer and the patterned structure layer. A surface of the encapsulation film on the patterned structure layer is a concave-convex surface, and a surface of the encapsulation film on the organic light-emitting device layer is an even surface.

Claims (14)

1. An organic electroluminescent apparatus, comprising:

a substrate having a light-emitting region and a non-light-emitting region;

an organic light-emitting device layer disposed on the substrate and located in the light-emitting region;

a first inorganic layer covering the organic light-emitting device layer and covering the non-light-emitting region of the substrate;

an aggregated enhanced layer covering the first inorganic layer located in the non-light-emitting region of the substrate, wherein a surface of the aggregated enhanced layer is an even surface;

an organic layer covering the first inorganic layer and the aggregated enhanced layer, wherein a material affinity between the organic layer and the aggregated enhanced layer is different from a material affinity between the organic layer and the first inorganic layer; and

a second inorganic layer covering the organic layer, wherein a surface of the organic layer and a surface of the second inorganic layer on the aggregated enhanced layer are concave-convex surfaces, and the concave-convex surfaces overlaps and corresponds only to the even surface of the aggregated enhanced layer, and a surface of the organic layer and a surface of the second inorganic layer on the organic light-emitting device layer are even surfaces.

2. The organic electroluminescent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the aggregated enhanced layer comprises titanium, magnesium, or aluminum.

3. The organic electroluminescent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic layer has an outermost side surface, and the organic layer and the second inorganic layer sequentially cover the outermost side surface of the first inorganic layer.

4. The organic electroluminescent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic layer has an outermost side surface, the organic layer does not cover the outermost side surface of the first inorganic layer, and the second inorganic layer covers the outermost side surface of the first inorganic layer.

5. The organic electroluminescent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic layer and the second inorganic layer comprise metal oxide, metal nitride, silicon oxide, or silicon nitride, respectively.

6. The organic electroluminescent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first inorganic layer and a thickness of the second inorganic layer range from 300 angstroms to 1 micrometer, respectively.

7. The organic electroluminescent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the organic layer comprises acrylate or parylene.

8. The organic electroluminescent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the organic layer ranges from 0.5 to 2 micrometers.
