Organic electroluminescence device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for producing an organic electroluminescence device, comprising, in sequence, the steps of:
- (a) forming an organic luminescence element portion on a substrate;
(b) dehydrating a sealing glass sheet; and
(c) sealing the organic luminescence element portion by overlapping the organic luminescence element portion with the sealing glass sheet such that the organic luminescence element portion and the sealing glass sheet are in direct contact,wherein the sealing step is conducted under a reduced pressure atmosphere and comprises the sub-steps of;
(c-i) directly contacting the substrate and the sealing glass sheet with each other at a periphery of the sealing glass sheet; and
thereafter(c-ii) fixing the sealing glass sheet to the substrate with a low melting point metal applied along an outer edge of the sealing glass sheet and an adjoining surface of the substrate.

Abstract
The present invention provides an excellent organic EL device with a glass substrate and a sealing glass sheet which are thinned for weight reduction while avoiding lowering the durability and impact resistance of the device. The organic luminescence device is characterized in that sealing is performed at the space between a face of the sealing glass sheet along the outer edge and a face of the device substrate with a low melting point metal.
