METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ORGANIC EL DEVICE AND ORGANIC EL DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method or the like for manufacturing an organic EL device in which degradation of light-emitting properties has been minimized. This method for manufacturing an organic EL device causes the organic layer to extend further beyond at least both outer sides of the substrate in the lengthwise direction than the first electrode layer while the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer are kept from making contact. Furthermore, the second electrode layer is caused to extend further beyond at least both outer sides in the lengthwise direction than the organic layer. The first electrode layer, the organic layer, and the second electrode layer are thereby formed on both outer sides of the light-emitting part in at least the lengthwise direction of the substrate so that the edges at both ends in the lengthwise direction of the organic layer are covered by both end sides of the second electrode layer in the lengthwise direction.
