The invention further relates to a light-emitting display device and an electrical component of the display device. A method including this type [prior art] United States 5,962,9 70 discloses a method for manufacturing a first display electrode, including a method formed on the organic display panel, at least an organic electro-excitation light medium on an exposed portion of the first display electrodes The organic part is a layer of J-work and a second display electrode system formed on the organic functional layers is deposited on a three-person board. The protrusion from the substrate reaches an electrical insulation barrier with a height of 0.5 μm. It is used to power off the adjacent second display electrode deposited by a metal evaporation method. However, this method of manufacturing a #light display device has some disadvantages in the use of the electrical insulation barrier. One of these disadvantages It is due to the limitation of the thickness of the second resistor due to the high resistance of the second electrode. Even, the barriers are caused by the expensive sealing arrangement when the light-emitting display device is sealed or encapsulated from the environment. Problem. Furthermore, the wall S may be unstable and need to handle the structures carefully. Moreover, the process flexibility of the light-emitting device depends on the light-emitting layer section of the display device. Sensitivity has certain limitations. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for manufacturing a light-emitting display device, in which at least one of the above disadvantages is avoided or at least reduced. 88192 200417283 This object is to provide by A method for manufacturing a light-emitting display device on a substrate is achieved, which includes the steps of:-depositing a first electrode layer on or above the substrate; A plurality of light-emitting layer sections are formed above,-applying at least-a protective layer on or above at least one of the light-emitting layer sections;-depositing a second electrode layer. The present invention further relates to a light-emitting display device comprising:-a substrate; -A first electrode layer deposited on or above the child substrate;-a plurality of light emitting layer sections formed on or above the child first electrode layer;-on or above at least some of the light emitting layer sections At least one protective layer applied;-a second electrode layer. By providing a protective layer over the light-emitting layer section, the next layers are deposited and / or patterned To a more relaxed process condition, since the susceptible light-emitting layer section is already protected by the protective layer. A process using a wet-etched member can be performed, for example, to structure the layers applied after applying the protective layer. Better Ground, the light-emitting layer sections are entirely covered by the protective layer. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protective layer includes or consists of a mesh or a metal layer. A molybdenum or titanium layer or includes these materials Each layer is suitable for securing each light-emitting layer section for wet-etched components. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second electrode layer is aluminum and / S8I92 -6-200417283 or by lithography and Subsequent etching is used for patterning. Patterning the second electrode layer via such a method has been possible to protect the vulnerable section from, for example, a wet etchant via a protective layer application on the light emitting layer sections. In this way, it is not necessary to apply a conventional electrical insulating barrier to pattern the second electrode layer, so the thickness of the% electrode layer may increase significantly. A second electrode layer with a thickness greater than 0.5 P m and preferably 0.5 feJ μ1 Ώ around the second electrode layer exhibits a low resistance and a short RC time. It is important for high-speed switching frequencies. Furthermore, the conventional barrier profile provides a question about obtaining a proper sealing film to encapsulate the structure. The lithographic patterning of the second electrode layer provides an example of further encapsulation of the light emitting element, such as a suitable starting point for a smooth surface. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the patterned second electrode layer includes a recessed portion in which the protective layer is removed. A sealing film for the encapsulation of the resulting structure is preferably deposited on the patterned second electrode layer and in the recess. The sealing film can be made, for example, as thin as 0.5 μm, in contrast to the typical application with a thickness ranging from 0 3 to 1 mm using, for example, an individual metal cover applied to each structure or light emitting element on the display device. Thick capsule configuration. The individual metal cover is typically glued to the substrate and includes an absorbent material. The method according to the present invention encapsulates all the structure of the display device without using an absorbent, resulting in a considerable cost efficiency. It should be understood that the foregoing specific embodiments or their perspectives may be combined. The present invention further relates to an electrical component including a light-emitting display device as described above. Such electrical components may be related to, for example, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a portable computer, a handheld computer, a daughter-in-law, and a personal computer, a television, or a car dashboard, for example. The display shows the components of the device 88192 200417283. WO00 / 16938 Rev. 7F —Method for Manufacturing a Color Organic Light-Emitting Element Structure ’In which a lithographic pattern of a color-changing medium can be patterned using a wet process method. A purification layer is used. However, the passivation layer is deposited on the second electrode layer of the OLED driver integrated in the substrate. US 5,998,926 discloses a method of manufacturing-organic electro-excitation light elements, in which a 4-cathode system is formed by lithography-accurate patterns. However, the cathode layer is directly deposited on the substrate and patterned before the organic electro-excitation light layer is provided. [Embodiment] In FIG. 1, a substrate 1 is provided to manufacture the light-emitting display device 4 (shown in FIG. 14). Preferably, the light emitted from the substrate 1 with respect to the light emitting layer sections 7R, 7B (not shown in Fig. 6) is transparent. Suitable substrate materials include synthetic resins that may or may not be elastic, quartz, ceramics, and glass. The total thickness of this substrate typically ranges from 100 to 700 μm. A first electrode layer 2 which is generally referred to as an anode is deposited on or over the substrate 1 by, for example, a vacuum halide plating method or a metal plating method. The first electrode layer can then be patterned by lithography. Preferably, the first electrode layer 2 is transparent with respect to the light emitted from the light-emitting layer section when the light-emitting display device 14 is operated. For example, a transparent hole injection electrode material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) is used. For example, polyaniline (PANI) and poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiofluorene (PEDOT) conductive polymers are also suitable as transparent hole injection electrode materials. Preferably, a PANI layer has a thickness of 50 to 200 nm, and the pEDO layer has a thickness of 100 to 300 nm. 88192 200417283 In Fig. 2, the next manufacturing step is shown in which, for example, a low-resistance metal of a molybdenum / aluminum / pin (MM) layer 3 is deposited on the first electrode layer 2 or tens of thousands. The MAM layer 3 is then defined in a lithographic manner at, for example, a position where no light is generated. The MAM layer 3 is applied based on the contact purpose and reducing the resistance corresponding to the first electrode layer 2. The typical thickness of the total thickness of the MAM layer 3 can reach 0.5 μm. In FIG. 3, the next manufacturing step is shown, in which, for example, an insulating layer of novolack or one of acrylic is spin-coated on the figure. The structure shown in Fig. 2 is then patterned by lithography. This insulating layer is baked, for example, at 22 ° C. for 30 minutes. In the patterning, the insulating layer-defining member 4 is defined in a cavity or site 5 between the defining members 4 on which the light-emitting members 7R and 7B are further deposited. Furthermore, the limiting member 4 facilitates the separation of the second electrode layer, which will be described in more detail below. The limiting member 4 is typically 20 in width and has a thickness of about 3 μm. The insulating layer or restricting member 4 has a hydrophilic nature, that is, it can use the attractive force on the liquid material. In Fig. 4, the next manufacturing step is shown, in which a portion 6 of the fluid luminous substance which is to be deposited thereafter is applied on or above the foot restraining member 4 which restrains the light emitting member's portion 5. The repellent portion 6 may be, for example, a strip-shaped repellent material. XI Some Shao Fen 6 can be obtained in various ways. The expulsion section 6 is the subject of an application under joint review by one of the applicants. The width of the repellent portion 6 may be in the range of, for example, 10 to 5 μτη. Fig. 5 shows a top view of a part of the light-emitting display device after the expulsion portion 6 is applied. In Fig. 5, it is illustrated that the repellent portion 6 can be applied in some ways to restrain the cave or site 5. Fig. 5 shows the entire ring p along the part 5 (the hole 88192 200417283 X or the part 5 on the left), the orthodox exhibition <the restraint of the expulsion part 6 and the expulsion part 6 (the hole or the part on the right- ^, A knife beam ,,, and foot example. The expulsion part 6 binds the part, and can be used with the method selected for the deposition of the fluid luminescent substance or for various methods Hole 々 ^, 或, or # 位 颜 巴 configuration depends. If, for example, the same color is deposited on the ridge-row, you can use only part of the repellent part 6 of the part 5 according to the right row of Figure 5, Tian Tai ^, ,, Ding , 77 Because there is no material flow in the material flow between Shao Wei 5 in this book. In Figure 6, the manufacturing steps of τ are shown, in which the fluid luminescent substance is deposited in the wet hole or 5 places to obtain the Light emitting member or layer section 7. Note that-the light emitting member or layer section 7 may include, for example, a polyethylene thio-age (PED0) layer and-some conductive polymers of polyparaphenylene vinylene (PPV) Layer. For i-color light-emitting display devices, different materials can be used. In the ^ matte member or layer section 7R is called-redness The light-emitting member or layer section 7B is called a blue-emitting material. Typically, the third material G that emits green light is also applied. The light-emitting material is preferably an electro-optical material and is printed by inkjet. The length of a light-emitting component is, for example, 240 μπι. Figure 7 ;: 'Beibudong X or a detailed view of part 5, in which the red light-emitting substance of the fluid has been deposited and illustrates the stages of the drying method after deposition The red light-emitting material is left in the cave or part 5 due to the use of Rongzhao tea plating, and the shrinkage shown by the arrow occurs. The luminescent material layer corresponds to the part 5 and needs to be placed in some dimensions to avoid Ruo Rong. The light-emitting display device is operated, that is, the reduction caused when a voltage is applied to the light-emitting layer. The enlarged-size light-emitting material is available because the limiting member 4 is-hydrophilic in nature. 88192 -10-200417283 -However, the luminescent member or layered fluid luminescent substance should not flow to the adjacent luminescent member or layer section 7B that emits light of different colors. Explain that it is achieved by using as a hydrophobic obstacle to drive out section 6. This effect. In Figure 8, the next manufacturing step is shown in which a light member or layer area is applied—or tens of thousands of it. The present metallization is composed of, for example, layer 8 ′ to reduce this barrier level so that a first layer commonly called a cathode is deposited upon deposition. Electrons are injected on top of the two t-pole layers 9. In the manufacturing method applied here, an additional molybdenum or titanium layer 8 "is applied as a diffusion barrier for the wet etching solvent to protect these. The light-emitting member or layer section 711 and 7B. In FIG. 8, the barium layer 8, and the molybdenum or titanium layer 8 "are shown as a single layer 8. The thickness of the barium layer 8, for example, is 5 nm, and the molybdenum or The thickness of the titanium layer 8 "is, for example, 10011171, and the thickness of the cathode layer 9 is, for example, 2 μm. It is known that the cathode layer has a maximum thickness of about 0.5 μm. Due to the thick cathode layer 9 of the specific embodiment of the present invention, the resistance for applying a voltage to the light emitting member 7 has been significantly reduced. In Fig. 9, the next manufacturing step is shown, in which the cathode layer 9 is patterned. The cathode layer 9 is made of, for example, aluminum. The patterning of the cathode layer 9 is performed by a lithography method followed by a wet-etched recess 10 of the cathode layer 9. The wet-relief method does not affect the light-emitting members or layer sections 7R and 7B because the molybdenum or titanium layer 8 acts as a diffusion barrier with respect to the wet-etched member. To etch aluminum ', for example a mixture of acetic acid, phosphoric acid and nitric acid can be used. Typically, the portions of the patterned cathode layer 9 actually cover the light emitting layer sections 7 R, 7 B in their entirety. Patterning can be performed so that the patterned portions of the cathode layer 9 correspond to the light-emitting layer sections 7 R, 7 B, that is, the light can use the patterned portions of the cathode layer 9 to pass the light-emitting layers. Section 7 R, 7 Β shot by K8192 200417283. In FIG. 10, 'the next manufacturing step is shown, in which the protective layer 8 is partially removed by plasma etching in a CF4 / Ar atmosphere using plasma etching. In FIG. 11, the next manufacturing step is shown, in which a SiN film 11 is deposited on the structure shown in FIG. 10. This film is hermetically sealed. This structure avoids, for example, liquid or moisture that may affect the light-emitting layer or member 7R and 7B via the recessed portion 10. Note that the steps of the manufacturing method shown in Figs. A cluster tool system of an etch and a deposition tool module is executed together in this example. The remote structure is not exposed to the air between the diffusion barrier and the hermetic seal in the rest of the time. The SlN layer n has A thickness of, for example, 0. 5 μm. As another example, silicon oxynitride smupb) can be used for the sealing film u. This small thickness of the film Π is sufficient for sealing, because it has a negative shape and sharp points. It is known that the electrical insulation barrier is no longer applied because of the new method of the cathode structure with the protective layer 8. The next manufacturing step is shown in FIG. 12 in which a protective layer 12 is applied to the structure shown in FIG. 11 or Above it. This protective layer! 2 is obtained by, for example, spin coating-resist or lamination-dry film resist and has a thickness of, for example, Plural. The concave portion 13 can be obtained by lithography. The resist 12 is baked at 120 ° C for 30 minutes, for example. In FIG. 13, a final manufacturing step is shown, in which the SlN film 11 is removed at a position where a conductive wire is connected to operate the light-emitting display device to contact the cathode layer 9. The SiN film 11 may be, for example, a CF4 Plasma to remove. In FIG. 14, a light-emitting display device 14 which can be a polymer or small molecule light-emitting diode element is described as a part of an electrical element 15. The 88192-12-200417283 The light-emitting display device 14 is, for example, a color display hole configured as a display pixel including a determinant matrix of red, green, and blue light-emitting layer sections 7R, 7G, and 7B. These light-emitting layer sections may be light-emitting diodes. Note that the light-emitting members 7R, 7G, and 7B can be configured as, for example, a rectangular or triangular structure sufficient to form a display pixel 16. The light-emitting layer sections 711 and 7: 6 can be applied in an appropriate manner. Signals are sent to the first electrode layer 2 and / or the second electrode layer 9.
