Light attenuation in defective pixel in organic EL panel
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A laser processing method in an organic EL panel in which a plurality of pixels each comprising an organic EL element are arranged in a matrix form, wherein the method comprises an attenuation process including:
- irradiating a peripheral region of a foreign body adhered to the organic EL element with laser light to make an organic layer of the organic EL element to which the foreign body is adhered highly resistive; and
altering characteristics of organic matter in the organic layer by irradiation of laser to the organic layer and increasing the resistance of the organic layer without removing the organic layer.

Abstract
An organic EL element of one pixel is selectively irradiated with laser light. With the laser irradiation, the functionality of the organic layer of the organic EL element is selectively degraded and the light emission capability is removed without damaging the cathode.
