Specifically, preferably the thickness of inorganic layer 28 is more than 10nm, more preferably more than 15nm.By by inorganic layer 28 Thickness be set to more than 10nm, good gas barrier property can be obtained.
Also, it is preferred that the thickness of inorganic layer 28 is below 45nm, more preferably below 35nm.By by the thickness of inorganic layer 28 Degree is set to below 45nm, can prevent the rupture of inorganic layer 28 in bending organic el device 10.Also, it has been observed that inorganic layer 28 surface is higher, can more strengthen the bonding force at junction surface 18, and by the way that the thickness of inorganic layer 28 is set into 45nm Hereinafter, the surface of inorganic layer 28 can be made to follow the high surface of organic layer 26 and uprise.
Inorganic layer 28 passes through the formation of known method according to the formation material of inorganic layer 28.
Generally, inorganic layer 28 by the vapour deposition processes such as plasma CVD, sputtering, vacuum evaporation (gas phase membrane formation process) come Formed.
In the organic el device 10 of the present invention, using with more than 1 group of the organic layer 26 and inorganic layer 28 as substrate Combination and surface be inorganic layer 28 Obstruct membrane 16, make inorganic layer 28 towards device substrate 12 and seal be formed at device substrate Organic EL element 14 on 12.
Also, in the organic el device 10 of the present invention, with anti-based on the 1st conversion zone and the 2nd for being arranged on device substrate 12 Answer the molecular bond of the reaction between layer carry out the device substrate 12 in the junction surface 18 for sealing organic el element 14 with The bonding of Obstruct membrane 16, the inorganic layer on the surface that the 2nd conversion zone is bonded with the 1st conversion zone and is arranged on Obstruct membrane 16 28。
In addition, in the organic el device 10 of the present invention, the organic layer 26 nearest apart from device substrate 12 in junction surface 18 The distance between surface and device substrate 12 be below 100nm.
The present invention is by with this structure, so as to have sufficient bonding force in junction surface 18, moreover, by that will connect The thickness in conjunction portion 18 is set to very thin, prevents the intrusion of the moisture from junction surface 18 so as to realize, inhibits because moisture causes Organic EL element 14 deterioration and the organic el device 10 of service life length.
It has been observed that generally, Obstruct membrane is bonded on device substrate by adhesive to carry out based on the organic of Obstruct membrane The sealing of EL element.However, in the encapsulating method, moisture can be invaded by adhesive phase, caused organic by the moisture EL element is deteriorated.
In contrast, in the molecular bond that utilization as Patent Document 1 is bonded, due to the very thin thickness at junction surface, Therefore moisture will not be invaded from junction surface, can prevent the deterioration of the organic EL element caused by the moisture invaded from junction surface, The reaction between compound on the composition surface of the bonding based on the part for being present in sealing organic el element.
Here, according to the research of the present inventor, when being formed at the organic EL element of device substrate by Obstruct membrane sealing, In order to obtain sufficient bonding force by molecular bond at junction surface, it is critically important to make the flatness height on the composition surface of Obstruct membrane 's.
That is, molecular bond is present in the compound on the surface of device substrate by silane coupler etc. and is present in Obstruct membrane The compound on surface react and be bonded to carry out.Therefore, if the surface of Obstruct membrane is low, composition surface that It is closely sealed insufficient between this, also, reaction between compound in composition surface do not carry out fully, even if in addition, entering Row reaction, is also easily caused dissociation and can not obtain sufficient bonding force.
It has been observed that inorganic layer is generally formed by vapour deposition process, therefore follow the bumps of film forming face.Therefore, such as patent In the only Obstruct membrane with inorganic layer described in document 1, the bumps of supporter are followed on the surface of inorganic layer, therefore can not be abundant Make the surface of Obstruct membrane flat.Therefore, it is closely sealed insufficient between the Obstruct membrane and device substrate in junction surface, connect based on molecule The bonding force of conjunction is low, causes to produce floating and peeling off for gas barrier film at junction surface, it is impossible to suitably carry out having based on gas barrier film The sealing of machine EL element.
By thickening inorganic layer, it can be ensured that flatness to a certain degree, but nonetheless, the flat of inorganic layer can not be also said Smooth property fully, in addition, inorganic layer can be caused to become fragile, and also has the problem of causing to lose flexibility.
