Hermetic encapsulation package and method of fabrication thereof
First Claim
1. A hermetic encapsulation package comprising:
- a support substrate;
at least one element mounted on said support substrate; and
a sealing cap bonded to said support substrate accommodating said element to form a sealed space defined by said support substrate and said sealing cap, said sealing cap deforms to vary a volume of said sealed space according to an increase or a decrease in pressure inside said sealed space.

Abstract
At least one organic electroluminescent (EL) element is formed on a support substrate. A sealing cap for accommodating the organic EL element is bonded to the support substrate with an ultraviolet curing resin to form a sealed space defined by the sealing cap and the support substrate. At least part of the sealing cap is formed of an elastic material of a Young'"'"'s modulus of 70 GPa or less. Furthermore, relative to the volume of the sealed space at 25° C., the sealing cap is reversibly deflected to provide a decrease of 5% or more in volume of the sealed space at −35° C. and an increase of 5% or more in volume of the sealed space at 85° C., thereby varying the volume of the sealed space to relax a change in pressure inside the sealed space caused by a change in temperature.

16. A method for fabricating a hermetic encapsulation package comprising the steps of:
-
fabricating an organic panel by depositing on a support substrate by sputtering or by vapor deposition a predetermined pattern of an anode layer, an organic compound layer including at least a light-emitting layer composed of an organic compound, and a cathode layer in that order, or a predetermined pattern of a cathode layer, an organic compound layer including at least a light-emitting layer composed of an organic compound, and an anode layer in that order; and
bonding a sealing cap, at least part thereof being formed of an elastic material having a Young'"'"'s modulus of 70 GPa or less, to said support substrate in a dried atmosphere so as to accommodate a pixel-formed portion of said organic panel. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
