Accordingly, inter-electrode shorts, which may occur in the regions in which an organic compound layer or an electrode layer has selectively been removed, can be reduced, enabling enhancement of the production yield of organic EL display devices. (Second Embodiment)
- an organic EL display device preferably, adjustment is made so that the emission peak wavelength of the light-emitting layer included in an organic compound layer is shifted to the longer wavelength side relative to the emission peak wavelength of the light-emitting layer included in the underlying organic compound layer.
- the emission spectrum of the second light-emitting layer included in the second organic compound layer (14a to 14c) is in a range of wavelengths longer than the emission spectrum of the first light-emitting layer included in the first organic compound layer (12a to 12c).
- the emission spectrum of the third light-emitting layer included in the third organic compound layer (16a to 16c) is in a range of wavelengths longer than the emission spectrum of the second light-emitting layer included in the second organic compound layer (14a to 14c) . More specifically, for example, in the organic EL display device illustrated in FIG.
- the first light- emitting layer included in the first organic compound layer (12a to 12c) is made to be a blue light-emitting layer.
- the second light-emitting layer included in the second organic compound layer (14a to 14c) is made to be a green light-emitting layer, and the third light-emitting layer of the third organic compound layer (16a to 16c) is made to be a red light-emitting layer. Consequently, light with a high color purity using an optical resonator structure can be provided, enabling further enhancement of the display quality of organic EL display devices.

Abstract
L'invention porte sur un dispositif d'affichage électroluminescent organique comprenant une couche de composé organique non affectée par les bavures et/ou les résidus produits pendant la formation de la couche sous-jacente ainsi que sur un procédé de fabrication d'une telle couche. Le dispositif d'affichage électroluminescent organique comprend un substrat et une pluralité de pixels agencés sur le substrat. Chaque pixel comprend une électrode inférieure disposée sur le substrat ; un nombre n de couches d'électrodes formées sur l'électrode inférieure ; et un nombre n de couches de composés organiques disposées entre l'électrode inférieure et une couche d'électrodes ainsi qu’entre les couches d'électrodes et comprenant une couche d'émission de lumière qui émet une lumière prédéterminée. L’épaisseur de chaque couche de composé organique satisfait l'expression (1) : d1 < d2 < ... < dn (1) (d1 : épaisseur d'une première couche de composé organique, d2 : épaisseur d'une deuxième couche de composé organique, dn : épaisseur d'une n-ième couche de composé organique).
