[0004] Incidentally, although the organic EL element is evaluated as a light emitting element having high luminous efficiency and capable of emitting high-luminance light at a low voltage, its characteristics are degraded due to moisture and heat entering from the outside. However, there is a problem that the life is short. It is considered that the deterioration of the characteristics is due to the crystallization of the amorphous organic EL layer by moisture.
Therefore, in the conventional organic EL element, an inert gas is sealed in a space 24 defined by the glass substrate 12 and the airtight case 22 to prevent moisture and heat from entering from the outside.

According to the present inventors, the cause of the occurrence of a dark spot on the light emitting surface is that the light emitting mechanism of the organic EL element is locally or entirely deteriorated by moisture invading from the outside. Further, rather than taking measures to completely prevent the invasion of moisture from the outside, it is more practical to capture the infiltrated moisture so as not to affect the light-emitting mechanism. It was completed.

Hereinafter, a method for forming the organic EL element 30 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the laminated structure 40 is formed on the glass substrate 32 in the same manner as in the conventional method, and then necessary wirings are formed. Next, adhesive layers 50 and 52 forming the inner wall 50 and the outer wall 52 are formed on the glass plate 46 by a printing method or a direct application method using a dispenser or the like, as shown in FIG. 1B. Subsequently, a coating film of a solution or suspension in which the adsorbent is dissolved or suspended in a solvent is applied to the adhesive layers 50, 52 by a coating method or a printing method.
The adsorbent layer 54 is formed by evaporating the solvent. A binder may be added to the solution or suspension in which the adsorbent has been dissolved or suspended, so that the adsorbent can easily adhere to the glass plate 46. When a metal oxide is used as the adsorbent, the metal oxide is deposited on the glass plate 46 by a vapor deposition process using a resistance heating method, a sputtering method, or the like.
The adsorbent layer 54 is deposited between the adhesive layers 50 and 52 on the upper side.
Can also be formed. Next, the glass plate 46 is placed on the glass substrate 32 in an inert gas atmosphere sealed in the space 44.
The organic EL element 30 according to the present embodiment can be obtained by superimposing and bonding them to each other with the adhesive layers 50 and 52. In this embodiment, the adhesive layers 50 and 52 and the adsorbent layer 54 are formed on the glass plate 46.
Instead, these adhesive layers 50 on the glass substrate 32,
52 and the adsorbent layer 54 may be formed.

Hereinafter, a method for forming the organic EL element 60 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the laminated structure 40 is formed on the glass substrate 32 in the same manner as in the conventional method, and then necessary wirings are formed. Next, an adhesive layer 62 that forms the peripheral wall 62 by a printing method or a direct application method using a dispenser or the like is formed on the glass plate 46 as shown in FIG. 2B. Subsequently, a coating film of a solution or suspension in which the adsorbent is dissolved or suspended in a solvent is formed on a glass plate 46 by a coating method or a printing method as shown in FIG. Is evaporated to form an adsorption film 64. A binder may be added to the solution or suspension in which the adsorbent has been dissolved or suspended, so that the adsorbent can easily adhere to the glass plate 46. When a metal oxide is used as the adsorbent, as another method, the metal oxide may be deposited on the glass plate 46 by an evaporation process to form the adsorption film 64. Next, the organic EL element 60 of the present embodiment can be obtained by stacking the glass plate 46 on the glass substrate 32 and bonding them together with the adhesive layer 62 in an inert gas atmosphere sealed in the space 44. .
