By the way, the dimensions of the opening 20 of the insulating layer 22 are designed in consideration of tolerances such as misalignment and narrowness and precision so that the cathode partition 21 is placed on the insulating layer 22. Was. That is, the width of the pre-patterned anode 23 is about 1.5
μm, and the insulating film 22 has about 3
It is empirically known that the thickness is reduced by μm. Therefore, since the thickness of the end of the anode pattern becomes thin, it is necessary to sufficiently overlap the insulating film 22 with the edge of the anode 23. Also, due to aging, the anode 23 and the cathode 26 approach each other in a thin portion, and the current tends to concentrate. As a result, a black frame appears on the light emitting portion. From the surface to the opening 20 of the insulating layer 22, and as a result, the light emitting area is reduced. It is considered that this is because the organic EL film 25 and the aluminum electrode film 26 are deteriorated by moisture or the like from the partition wall resist, or the aluminum electrode film 26 is cut and exposed to the sealing gas.
