Light-emitting device, electronic device, lighting device, and method for manufacturing the light-emitting device

摘要

A light-emitting device in which deterioration of an organic EL element due to impurities such as moisture or oxygen is suppressed is provided. The light-emitting device includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other, a light-emitting element provided over the first substrate, a first sealant provided so as to surround the light-emitting element, and a second sealant provided so as to surround the first sealant. One of the first sealant and the second sealant is a glass layer and the other is a resin layer. A dry agent is provided in a first space surrounded by the first sealant, the second sealant, the first substrate, and the second substrate, or in the resin layer. The light-emitting element is included in a second space surrounded by the first sealant, the first substrate, and the second substrate.

1. A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device, comprising the steps of:
providing a first electrode over a first substrate, a layer containing a light-emitting organic compound over the first electrode, and a second electrode over the layer to form a light-emitting element, whereby a light-emitting portion is formed; applying a frit paste over a second substrate and heating to form a glass layer; applying a resin including a dry agent over the second substrate in an inert atmosphere to form a resin layer; providing the first substrate and the second substrate so as to face each other; irradiating the resin layer with light under reduced pressure to form a closed space surrounded by the resin layer, the first substrate, and the second substrate; keeping reduced pressure in a space surrounded by the resin layer, the glass layer, the first substrate and the second substrate after irradiating the resin layer with light; and irradiating the glass layer with laser light in the air to form a closed space surrounded by the glass layer, the first substrate, and the second substrate while keeping reduced pressure in the space, wherein the glass layer is provided so as to surround the light-emitting portion and the resin layer is provided so as to surround the glass layer.
