(structure of self-emission panel)
Below, the structure of the self-emission panel of embodiments of the invention is described.In addition, because the surface structure of the self-emission panel of embodiments of the invention is identical with above-mentioned self-emission panel shown in Figure 1, thereby omits diagram here, use symbol to describe based on Fig. 1.
At first, the self-emission device 103 that the self-emission panel in the present embodiment 100 is had describes.The self-emission device 103 that self-emission panel 100 in the present embodiment has can list: applies by for example applying the electric field energy that voltage produces, thus EL (the Electro Luminescence: electroluminescence) element etc. that the electric field energy that is applied is emitted with the form of light.EL element has inorganic EL element and organic EL, yet in the present embodiment, illustrates with the example of organic EL as self-emission device 103.
Organic EL also is known as organic EL (OEL) device, Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) device and electroluminescence light source sometimes, and describes as organic EL in the present embodiment.Organic EL has organic EL and the use of using macromolecular material to form to hang down the organic EL that molecular material forms.Below, in the present embodiment, as an example, to the example of the organic EL that uses low molecular material to form as self-emission device 103 described.In the present embodiment, the component structure that the luminescent layer 102 by 101 of pair of electrodes 101 and pair of electrodes is constituted calls " organic EL ".
Generally, organic EL has the structure of clamping organic layer between anode (hole injecting electrode) and negative electrode (electron injection electrode).Here the organic layer of indication comprises luminescent layer.In organic EL, by to two electrode application voltage, make from the hole that anode is injected into and is transported in the organic layer to combine again with the electronics (luminescent layer) in organic layer that is injected into and is transported to from negative electrode in the organic layer, obtain this again in conjunction with the time light that produced.At present, because the backgrounds such as development progress of developing material and manufacturing process are used the device of low molecular material to realize commercialization as full-color display at organic layer, and in the present embodiment, are not limit low molecule or macromolecule.
Organic EL adopts a plurality of folded layer by layer structures that will have various functions.As the stepped construction of each layer in the organic EL, generally be to come stacked structure according to " lower electrode (anode)/hole injection layer/hole transporting layer/organic EL luminescent layer/electron supplying layer/electron injecting layer/upper electrode (negative electrode) " such order.In addition, in the present embodiment, utilize electrode 101a to realize lower electrode, utilize electrode 101b to realize upper electrode.
In the organic EL each layer all can be formed by single organic material, also can form (mixed layer) by making multiple material mixing, the functional material of organic class or mineral-type is dispersed in the polymer binder and forms.In addition, as functional material, can enumerate charge transport function, lighting function, electric charge and stop (blocking) function, optical function etc.
In the organic EL each layer can comprise: have and be used for making the pooling feature that luminescent layer 102 is not damaged and be used to prevent layer by the planarization function of the luminescent layer that film-forming process produced 102 concave-convex surfaces of luminescent layer 102 when the upside that uses sputtering method at luminescent layer 102 forms electrode 101b; Be used to protect the protective layer of inoranic membrane organic EL, for example SiN or SiON etc.; And a plurality of layer that constitutes by these layers.
In addition, organic EL also has following various: the electrode of the upside that is positioned at luminescent layer 102 as anode, and handle be positioned at the electrode of downside of luminescent layer 102 as the organic EL of negative electrode; Use the organic EL of a plurality of layers of formation luminescent layer 102; The organic EL (SOLED:Stacked (stacked) OLED) that a plurality of luminescent layers that glow color is different 102 are stacked; Make and do not make the organic EL (multi-photon element) of illustrated charge generation layer between negative electrode and anode; Omit the organic EL of layers such as hole transporting layer or carried out a plurality of stacked organic ELs; The organic EL of the component structure of 1 layer of organic layer (making each functional layer form, eliminate the organic EL on the border of layer continuously) etc. only.In addition, the present invention does not limit the structure of organic EL.
Below, sealing substrate 105 is described.Sealing substrate 105 is mutually opposed with luminescent layer 102 sides of supporting substrate 104 and dispose.Material as forming sealing substrate 105 can use glass baseplate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate (polyethylene terephthalate), polymethyl methacrylate various materials such as metal base such as plastic basis material, aluminium, stainless steel such as (polymethyl methacrylate) such as sodium carbonate glass (soda glass), lead glass, hard glass.The material that forms sealing substrate 105 can suitably be selected suitable material according to the structure of self-emission device 103.
For example, at self-emission device 103 is to send from a side opposite with supporting substrate 104 sides under the situation of organic EL of top light emitting (Top Emission) structure of light, or from supporting substrate 104 sides with and these both sides of opposition side send under the situation of organic EL of TOLED structure of light, the preferred material that uses the high material of the transparency as formation sealing substrate 105, and make that the thickness of sealing base material is the thickness with high-transmission rate.On the contrary, be to send from supporting substrate 104 sides under the situation of organic EL of bottom-emission (Bottom Emission) structure of light for example at self-emission device 103, also can be the metal base of the shortcoming transparency etc. as the material that forms sealing substrate 105.
Below, encapsulant 106 is described.Encapsulant 106 is set between supporting substrate 104 and the sealing substrate 105.Encapsulant 106 forms by making resin-shaped become thin plate (film) shape.Encapsulant 106 preferred surface do not have concavo-convex (perhaps few) and flatness excellence.The encapsulant that has good flatness by use, when encapsulant 106 being bonded on supporting substrate 104 or the sealing substrate 105, can prevent with the closed surface of supporting substrate 104 or sealing substrate 105 driving fits on, between supporting substrate 104 or sealing substrate 105 and encapsulant 106, sneak into bubble.
Preferably the thickness setting with encapsulant 106 becomes to make residual mechanical stress minimum.For example, if residual when forming encapsulant 106 have many internal stresss, then As time goes on, certain part can elongation or is shunk.Under the situation of using this encapsulant 106, encapsulant 106 makes self-emission device (organic EL) 103 be subjected to stress, following variety of issue may take place, that is: make the stacked state collapse of each layer in the self-emission panel 100 owing to encapsulant 106 changes as time passes, perhaps encapsulant 106 descends and the generation poor sealing with the adaptation of supporting substrate 104 or sealing substrate 105.That is,, can avoid such problem by the thickness setting of encapsulant 106 is become to make the minimum thickness of residual mechanical stress.And the other factors of the thickness of decision sealing material also can be to set for to make the water content that for example remains in the sealing material be reduced to few thickness.
As the resin that forms encapsulant 106, can list: for example with polyester acrylate (polyester acrylate), polyether acrylate (polyether acrylate), epoxy acrylate (epoxy acrylate), urethane acrylates (polyurethane acrylate) etc. are various to be the photoionization base polymerism resin of principal component with the acrylate, with epoxy, the resin of vinethene etc. is the cationically photopolymerizable resin of principal component, light-cured resins such as mercaptides (チ オ-Le エ Application) additive type resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polyether sulfone (polyethersulphone), polyarylate (polyarylate), Merlon (polycarbonate), polyurethane (polyurethane), acrylic resin, polyacrylonitrile (polyacrylonitrile), Pioloform, polyvinyl acetal (polyvinyl acetal), polyamide, polyimides, two propylene phthalate (diacryl phthalate, the resin of ジ ア Network リ Le Off レ-ト), the cellulose family plastics, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride etc., the thermoplastic resin of the co-polymer more than 2 kinds or 3 kinds in these etc. or thermosetting resin etc.
Form the resin of encapsulant 106 so long as in the manufacture process of self-emission panel 100, do not produce (perhaps generation seldom) cause the gas of deterioration and can deform because of the passing of environment temperature and time hardly/resin that shrink/expanded etc. changes get final product qualification especially.Yet, from the adaptation and the good aspect of zygosity of supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105, as the resin that forms encapsulant 106, the preferably thermosetting resin that is cured by heating.Below, in the present embodiment, the situation of using the encapsulant 106 that is formed by the thermosetting resin that is cured by heating is described.
(manufacture method of self-emission panel)
Below, an example of the manufacture method of the self-emission panel 100 of embodiments of the invention is described.Fig. 3-the 1st, the self-emission device that embodiments of the invention are shown forms the end view of operation.When making self-emission panel 100, at first carry out on supporting substrate 104, forming the self-emission device formation operation of self-emission device 103.Form in the operation at self-emission device, at first on supporting substrate 104, form electrode 101a, on electrode 101a, stack gradually luminescent layer 102 and electrode 101b.About formation self-emission device 103 on supporting substrate 104, owing to be known technology, thereby omit explanation here.
Fig. 3-the 2nd illustrates the end view of the 1st bonding process of embodiments of the invention.Then, make laminal encapsulant 106 bonding, with the 1st bonding process with self-emission device 103 sealings with the supporting substrate 104 that is formed with self-emission device 103.The face of adhesive seal material 106 is the faces that are formed with self-emission device 103 in supporting substrate 104.The 1st bonding process at decompression state, be configured in the atmospheric inert gas or be configured to carry out under any state in the inert gas of decompression state.In the present embodiment, be under decompression state, to carry out.
Supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106 bonding is by supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106 are overlapped, and the supporting substrate 104 that overlaps and encapsulant 106 exerted pressure to periphery from the central portion of Width and carries out.At this moment, except pressurization, can also supporting substrate 104 and the encapsulant 106 that overlap be heated.The 1st bonding process for example can use the Japan Patent spy to open the disclosed technology of 2002-361742 communique to carry out, and so long as can prevent the method for sneaking into bubble or foreign matter at the closed surface of supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106 and get final product, be not particularly limited in this method.
In the 1st bonding process, to supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106 in they direction pressurizations of driving fit separately.For example, in the 1st bonding process, use opposed a pair of roller (roller) 301, make the supporting substrate 104 of coincidence and encapsulant 106 by between this roller 301, thus to supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106 in they direction pressurizations of driving fit separately.The 1st bonding process in the present embodiment at decompression state, be configured in the atmospheric inert gas or be configured to carry out the bonding of supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106 under any state in the inert gas of decompression state.
Fig. 3-the 3rd illustrates the end view of the 2nd bonding process of embodiments of the invention.The 2nd bonding process that the supporting substrate 104 that then carries out under decompression state encapsulant 106 will be in the 1st bonding process bonding and sealing substrate 105 are bonding.In the present embodiment, under decompression state, carry out the 2nd bonding process.In the 2nd bonding process, supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 be held in make that bonding mutually face 201,202 is parallel and mutually opposed, simultaneously make opposed 201, supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 is bonding on the 202 approaching directions.
Supporting substrate 104 in the 2nd bonding process and sealing substrate 105 bonding for example used the Japan Patent spy to open the disclosed technology of 2002-216958 communique to carry out, yet get final product so long as can prevent the method for sneaking into bubble or foreign matter at the closed surface of encapsulant 106 and sealing substrate 105, be not particularly limited in this method.In addition, encapsulant 106 is heated up.Temperature during this intensification is not high to make encapsulant 106 soften to supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 is realized about the temperature of incorporate degree in appearance by encapsulant 106 to making encapsulant 106 that temperature about hot curings are reacted take place, encapsulant 106 can being warmed up to.
Fig. 3-the 4th illustrates the end view of the integrated operation of embodiments of the invention.Then make supporting substrate bonded in the 2nd bonding process 104 and sealing substrate 105 by encapsulant 106 incorporate integrated operations.
Because the encapsulant 106 of present embodiment is formed by thermosetting resin, thereby when in integrated operation during to encapsulant 106 heating, the resin generation hot curing of formation encapsulant 106 is reacted.Because in this hot curing course of reaction, the thermosetting resin that forms encapsulant 106 solidifies in bonding with supporting substrate 104, self-emission device 103 and sealing substrate 105, thereby makes the supporting substrate 104 and the sealing substrate 105 that are provided with self-emission device 103 integrated by encapsulant 106.By making encapsulant 106 solidify (being hot curing in the present embodiment) like this, can eliminate (or minimizing) encapsulant 106 as time passes and the variation that produces.In the present embodiment, under decompression state, carry out this integrated operation.
The heating means of encapsulant 106 can list following method: by 105 pairs of encapsulants of sealing substrate, 106 heating that contact with heating plate thermals source such as (hotplate), thereby perhaps by to sealing substrate 105 irradiation infrared rays so that sealing substrate 105 heats up that encapsulant 106 is heated, perhaps by using that heater etc. comes encapsulant 106 heated to the indoor heating that carries out integrated operation etc.The heating means of encapsulant 106 are so long as can make it that hot curing reaction take place to encapsulant 106 heating, and can remove the residual volatile ingredient of discharging and get final product from the material that forms encapsulant 106, be not particularly limited in above-mentioned heating means, yet from the most closely to the aspect of encapsulant 106 heating, the method that contacts with thermal source such as heating plate in the preferred said method.
And, in the integrated operation in the present embodiment, after the specific gas composition of discharging from encapsulant 106 is smaller or equal to ormal weight, atmosphere is become atmospheric pressure with inert gas.Here, the specific gas composition is meant in integrated operation because the gas componant of the specified molecular weight of setting in the gas componant that heating is produced when causing the resin generation hot curing reaction (cross-linking reaction) that forms encapsulant 106, according to the kind of the resin that forms encapsulant 106.The gas componant that is produced when thermosetting resin generation hot curing is reacted is different because of the kind of the resin that forms encapsulant 106, however main still gas componant after the gasifications such as employed remaining solvent and moisture when this resin synthetic.As the object lesson of the gas componant that when resin generation hot curing is reacted, is produced, can list analyte of for example methylethylketone (methyl ethyl ketone), toluene, water, resin or additive etc.
And, in integrated operation, to supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 on the direction that makes their driving fits, pressurize (with reference to Fig. 3-4).At this moment, with the face direction of supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 vertically, pressurization equably on supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 whole.Pressing time, force value etc. can suitably be adjusted according to generation degree of bubble etc., are not particularly limited.
Under decompression state, begin integrated operation in the present embodiment, yet be not limited thereto, also can in being configured to atmospheric inert gas or in the inert gas that is configured to reduce pressure, carry out.And, for example in being configured to atmospheric inert gas, under the situation of the integrated operation of beginning, can set decompression state later on at the arrival heat curing temperature.On the other hand, for example in being configured to the inert gas of decompression state, under the situation of the integrated operation of beginning, can also set vacuum state later on for smaller or equal to ormal weight at the specific gas composition.Setting the timing of negative pressure state or vacuum state or time etc. for can suitably adjust according to generation degree of bubble etc., is not particularly limited.
Fig. 4 is the process chart of the adoptable a plurality of operations of manufacture method that the self-emission panel 100 of present embodiment is shown.In the manufacture method of the self-emission panel of present embodiment, can be at decompression state, be configured in the atmospheric inert gas, perhaps be configured to carry out the 1st bonding process under any environment in the inert gas of decompression state.On the other hand, in the manufacture method of the self-emission panel 100 of present embodiment, only under decompression state, carry out the 2nd bonding process.
In the manufacture method of the self-emission panel 100 of present embodiment, at decompression state, be configured in the atmospheric inert gas, perhaps be configured to carry out integrated operation under any environment in the inert gas of decompression state.When under decompression state, carrying out integrated operation, can adopt following 3 kinds of processes, that is: under decompression state, handle to the last situation always, from the way, become the situation of the inert gas atmosphere that is configured to decompression state or become the situation that is configured to atmospheric inert gas atmosphere.On the other hand, when in being configured to atmospheric inert gas, carrying out integrated operation, can adopt these 2 kinds of processes of situation of from the way, setting the situation that the state that atmospheric pressure has been carried out reducing pressure is a negative pressure state for and becoming the vacuum state that has carried out decompression again from this negative pressure state.And, when carrying out integrated operation in the inert gas that is being configured to decompression state, reduce pressure until vacuum state after can adopting, perhaps become the such process of atmospheric inert gas atmosphere that is configured to.
Like this, manufacture method according to the self-emission panel 100 of present embodiment, by the 1st bonding process, make laminal encapsulant 106 and supporting substrate 104 bonding so that with self-emission device 103 sealings, by the 2nd bonding process, the supporting substrate 104 and the sealing substrate 105 that make encapsulant 106 under decompression state bonding are bonding by encapsulant 106, by integrated operation, make supporting substrate bonded in the 2nd bonding process 104 and sealing substrate 105 integrated by encapsulant 106.By using this Sealing Method, can when realizing that operation is simplified, prevent between encapsulant 106 and sealing substrate 105, to produce bubble.Like this, can prevent the descend decline of caused bonding bad and light conduction efficiency of bond area by encapsulant 106 and sealing substrate 105.
And, in the 2nd bonding process, by supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106 are pressurizeed on the direction that makes their driving fits, even after encapsulant 106 and sealing substrate 105 are bonding, just between encapsulant 106 and sealing substrate 105, produced under the situation of bubble soon, also can be with this bubble from outwards extruding between encapsulant 106 and the sealing substrate 105.
Fig. 5-the 1st carries out the end view when bonding under the state that sealing substrate is tilted with respect to supporting substrate, Fig. 5-the 2nd illustrates the end view of the state after being bonded in sealing substrate 105 on the supporting substrate.Shown in Fig. 5-1, as making sealing substrate 105, begin gently to carry out under the bonding situation from the end with respect to the state that supporting substrate 104 tilts, when a side direction opposite side is pushed encapsulant 106, carry out bonding.Therefore, concavo-convex thereby encapsulant 106 distortion sometimes take place on the surface of encapsulant 106 shown in Fig. 5-2, produce bubble 501.
By contrast, in the 2nd bonding process of present embodiment, with supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 be held in make must be bonding mutually face 201,202 parallel and mutually opposed, simultaneously make opposed 201, bonding supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 on the 202 approaching directions.Like this, owing to encapsulant 106 is deformed, thereby can prevent to take place concavo-convex, between encapsulant 106 and sealing substrate 105, produce bubble by under decompression state, carrying out bonding can preventing more reliably on the surface of encapsulant 106.
Fig. 5-the 3rd illustrates with sealing substrate and supporting substrate the end view of another state after bonding.Shown in Fig. 5-1, when beginning gently to carry out from the end under the state that sealing substrate 105 is tilted with respect to supporting substrate 104 when bonding, shown in Fig. 5-3, the thickness of encapsulant 106 is different at panel end and central portion sometimes.If the thickness of encapsulant 106 is different because of the position in a self-emission panel 100, then luminescent properties is also different because of the position, and then becomes the reasons for quality decrease of self-emission panel 100.
By contrast, in the 2nd bonding process of present embodiment, with supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 be held in make must be bonding mutually face 201,202 parallel and mutually opposed, make simultaneously on opposed 201,202 approaching directions supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 is bonding, thereby can make the thickness of encapsulant 106 become even on the whole at self-emission panel 100.
In addition, though there are methods that sealing substrate 105 bendings are carried out in order sealing substrate 105 to be begun gently bonding from the end with supporting substrate 104, yet make large-scale self-emission panel 100 in order to use this method, may need to be used to make the extensive bonding device of using of sealing substrate 105 bendings of maximization, perhaps may cause sealing substrate 105 breakages for sealing substrate 105 bendings that make maximization.
By contrast, the manufacture method of present embodiment need not make sealing substrate 105 bend just can be bonding with supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105, even thereby under the situation of the large-scale self-emission panel 100 of Production Example such as large-scale tv machine etc., do not need to be used to make the extensive bonding device of using of large-sized sealing substrate 105 bendings yet.And, do not worry causing sealing substrate 105 breakages in order to make large-sized sealing substrate 105 bendings, can the good self-emission panel 100 of workmanship.
That is,, can not be subjected to prevent between encapsulant 106 and sealing substrate 105, to produce bubble about the size institute of the self-emission panel 100 that will make, can obtain the second best in quality self-emission panel 100 according to the manufacture method of the self-emission panel 100 of present embodiment.In addition,, be not limited to abreast the manufacture method that supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 is bonding, can use the known various technology that make sealing substrate 105 bendings make the method for self-emission panel 100 that comprise as manufacture method.
In the present embodiment, use the encapsulant 106 that forms by thermosetting resin, and in integrated operation, under decompression state, encapsulant 106 is heated.Like this, because can be, thereby can prevent from more reliably between encapsulant 106 and supporting substrate 104 or encapsulant 106 and sealing substrate 105, to produce bubble with the specific gas composition that from the resin that forms encapsulant 106, produces when the hot curing from drawing to the outside between encapsulant 106 and the supporting substrate 104 or between encapsulant 106 and the sealing substrate 105.
And, when this integrated operation, set atmospheric pressure at the specific gas composition of discharging later on for smaller or equal to ormal weight, thereby can conduct heat to encapsulant 106 well from encapsulant 106.Promptly, though thermal source is directly contacted with supporting substrate 104 or sealing substrate 105, thereby yet conduct heat via the gas (air or inert gas) around the self-emission panel 100 by setting atmospheric pressure for, can heat encapsulant 106 thus, can heat effectively.And, can prevent to consume energy excessively for heating, can suppress manufacturing cost and rise.
Fig. 6 illustrates the chart that the special component gas flow is passed variation in time.Show in the variation of will pass in time from the special component gas flow of encapsulant 106 discharges under supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 bonding backs and the situation that thermal source contacts.When the variation that mensuration special component gas flow is passed in time, the supporting substrate 104 of self-emission panel 100 is contacted with the thermal source that is configured to about 40 ℃.The gas flow of discharging immediately after the contact is defined as 1.0, is timing definition 0.In Fig. 6, show since the time 0 and make heat source temperature rise to about 100 ℃ of the curing temperatures of encapsulant, and the variation that detected gas flow is passed in time when remaining the curing temperature of encapsulant.As can be seen from Figure 6, the special component gas flow of discharging from encapsulant 106 rose during certain, descends gradually after having crossed 10 minutes as peak point, became the amount of constant later at 40 minutes.
Manufacture method according to the self-emission panel 100 of present embodiment, for example during reaching 10 minutes or 10~40 minutes of peak value, the special component gas flow sets decompression state for, thereby the specific gas composition that produces from encapsulant 106 because hot curing is reacted is discharged to the outside, and set atmospheric pressure after this for, thereby the heat from thermal source is transmitted to self-emission panel 100 integral body effectively, can carries out good hot curing reaction.
Integrated operation is not limited to carry out under decompression state, for example by using the encapsulant 106 that forms by thermosetting resin, and in integrated operation, be configured in the atmospheric inert gas encapsulant 106 be heated, can preventing to be entered by aerobic G﹠W before the sealing fully etc. and make the luminescent properties decline of self-emission device 103 at self-emission device 103.
Equally, integrated operation is not limited to carry out under decompression state, for example by using the encapsulant 106 that forms by thermosetting resin, and in integrated operation, be configured in the inert gas of decompression state encapsulant 106 be heated, can be with the specific gas composition that from the resin that forms encapsulant 106, produces when the hot curing from drawing to the outside between encapsulant 106 and the supporting substrate 104 or between encapsulant 106 and the sealing substrate 105, thereby can prevent from more reliably producing bubble between encapsulant 106 and the supporting substrate 104 or between encapsulant 106 and the sealing substrate 105.
And, in integrated operation, by supporting substrate 104 and sealing substrate 105 are pressurizeed on the direction that makes their driving fits, the path of being passed through is formed in the encapsulant 106 that solidifies the way even the specific gas composition that produces from the resin that forms encapsulant 106 when hot curing is outwards overflowed between encapsulant 106 and supporting substrate 104 or between encapsulant 106 and the sealing substrate 105, owing to can squeeze this path, thereby can prevent the residual path that has specific gas to become branch to pass through in encapsulant 106.
In addition, the manufacture method according to the self-emission panel 100 of present embodiment by carry out the 1st bonding process under decompression state, can prevent to produce bubble between supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106.The 1st bonding process is not limited to carry out under decompression state, for example under the situation that the 1st bonding process is being configured to carry out in the atmospheric inert gas, can prevent between supporting substrate 104 and encapsulant 106, to enter oxygen G﹠W etc. and make the luminescent properties of self-emission device 103 descend.
In addition, for example under the situation that the 1st bonding process is being configured to carry out in the inert gas of negative pressure state, can prevent between encapsulant 106 and supporting substrate 104 to produce the bubble that comprises oxygen G﹠W etc., can prevent because the interior contained oxygen G﹠W of bubble etc. makes the luminescent properties deterioration of self-emission device 103.
The manufacturing of self-emission panel 100 can be carried out in same working space always, also can make the working space difference at each operation, yet may be because in order to make working space different and carry and make that foreign matter is sneaked into etc., thereby the preferred the 1st and the 2nd bonding process all in same working space, carry out, integrated operation is carried out in other working space.When making self-emission panel 100, for example can be full of indoor under the atmospheric pressure of inert gas with encapsulant 106 after supporting substrate 104 is bonding, change the pressure in the same working space, thereby give in the working space pressurization to strengthen driving fit etc.
In addition, in the present embodiment, encapsulant is bonded on the supporting substrate 104 that is provided with self-emission device 103, the adhesive seal base material 105 then, yet the manufacture method of self-emission panel 100 is not limited to this process sequence, after also can being bonded in encapsulant 106 on the sealing substrate 105, the bonding supporting substrate 104 that is provided with self-emission device 103.In this case, by under decompression state that sealing substrate 105 and supporting substrate 104 is bonding, can obtain effect same as described above.
