所釋放之氣體係因經由所加熱的乾燥氣體而排出,經由排出系統19a~19c,有效率地排出於作業室11a~11c之外部。The released gas system is discharged through the heated dry gas, and is efficiently discharged outside the work chambers 11a to 11c via the discharge systems 19a to 19c.

作業室加熱手段15a~15c,和加熱氣體供給裝置16a~16c係亦可只使用任一方,但附著於作業室11a~11c之內壁面的水或氧的排出效率為高。The working chamber heating means 15a to 15c and the heating gas supply devices 16a to 16c may be used alone, but the discharge efficiency of water or oxygen adhering to the inner wall surfaces of the working chambers 11a to 11c is high.

然而,在此係在配管42a~42c之中,於容器41a~41c與作業室11a~11c之間的部分,設置有崁入過濾器 18a~18c,而即使作為於容器41a~41c,混入微粒子或不純物氣體,亦可由崁入過濾器18a~18c所去除。However, here, among the pipes 42a to 42c, a portion between the containers 41a to 41c and the work chambers 11a to 11c is provided with an intrusion filter. 18a to 18c, even if the particles 41 or 41c are mixed with fine particles or impurities, they can be removed by the intrusion filters 18a to 18c.

接著,關於使用第一~第三之製造裝置1~3,而製造有機電激發光裝置之工程,進行說明。Next, a description will be given of a process for manufacturing an organic electroluminescence device using the first to third manufacturing apparatuses 1 to 3.

在開始有機電激發光裝置之製造之前,從外部環境遮斷第一~第三之製造裝置1~3之作業室11a~11c,並加熱作業室11a~11c的壁,使水或氧釋放。Before starting the manufacture of the organic electroluminescent device, the working chambers 11a to 11c of the first to third manufacturing apparatuses 1 to 3 are blocked from the external environment, and the walls of the working chambers 11a to 11c are heated to release water or oxygen.

在加熱作業室11a~11c的壁之同時,供給從加熱氣體供給裝置16a~16c所加熱之乾燥氣體,同時進行經由排氣系統19a~19c之排氣,置換作業室11a~11c之內部的氣體。The heating gas heated by the heating gas supply devices 16a to 16c is supplied while the walls of the working chambers 11a to 11c are heated, and the exhaust gas is exhausted through the exhaust systems 19a to 19c to replace the gas inside the working chambers 11a to 11c. .

此時,作業室11a~11c之內部壓力,則較大氣壓僅成為陽壓地,如設定排氣系統19a~19c之排氣速度,和乾燥氣體的供給量,防止從外部的水分.氧的混入。At this time, the internal pressure of the working chambers 11a to 11c is only a positive pressure, and the exhaust gas velocity of the exhaust systems 19a to 19c and the supply amount of the dry gas are set to prevent the incorporation of moisture and oxygen from the outside. .

但,在作業室11a~11c內,處理有毒物質之情況,係作業室11a~11c之內部壓力,則較大氣壓僅成為負壓地,如設定排氣系統19a~19c之排氣速度,和乾燥氣體的供給量,防止從作業室11a~11c至外部的有毒物質之洩漏。However, in the working chambers 11a to 11c, when the toxic substances are handled, and the internal pressures of the working chambers 11a to 11c are, the large air pressure is only the negative pressure, and the exhaust speeds of the exhaust systems 19a to 19c are set, and drying is performed. The supply amount of the gas prevents leakage of toxic substances from the working chambers 11a to 11c to the outside.

無論如何,由將作業室11a~11c內部,保持為大氣壓附近的壓力情況,由經由作業室11a~11c之氣體(所加熱的乾燥氣體)的熱傳導,加溫製作業室11a~11c內部的各角落,可促進水分等之不純物的脫離者,進而可極快乾燥作業室11a~11c內部的環境。In any case, by holding the inside of the working chambers 11a to 11c at a pressure in the vicinity of the atmospheric pressure, each of the inside of the working chambers 11a to 11c is heated by heat conduction of the gas (heated drying gas) passing through the working chambers 11a to 11c. The corners can promote the detachment of impurities such as moisture, and the environment inside the working chambers 11a to 11c can be quickly dried.

然而,當作業室11a~11c之內部成為真空而進行排氣 時,因只由從作業室加熱手段15a~15c的熱放射而升溫,而陰暗的部分未升溫,從此等部分,未脫離不純物,而無法乾燥作業室11a~11c之內部。However, when the inside of the work chambers 11a to 11c is evacuated, the exhaust is performed. At this time, the temperature is raised only by the heat radiation from the working chamber heating means 15a to 15c, and the dark portion is not heated. From these portions, the impurities are not removed, and the inside of the working chambers 11a to 11c cannot be dried.

加熱作業室11a~11c的壁之加熱時間係均可為任意,但期望1循環的加熱係為8小時以上者,當加熱時間為少時,則無法升溫製作業室11a~11c內的各角落,而無法充分地使不純物脫離。The heating time of the walls of the heating working chambers 11a to 11c may be any. However, it is desirable that the heating system for one cycle is 8 hours or longer. When the heating time is small, the heating chambers 11a to 11c cannot be heated. It is not enough to completely remove the impurities.

在充分地加熱作業室11a~11c之後,使作業室加熱手段15a~15c與氣體加熱手段14a~14c停止,結束作業室11a~11c的壁之加熱和乾燥氣體之加熱。After the work chambers 11a to 11c are sufficiently heated, the work chamber heating means 15a to 15c and the gas heating means 14a to 14c are stopped, and the heating of the walls of the work chambers 11a to 11c and the heating of the dry gas are completed.

(gas replacement engineering).

The material layer did not deteriorate.

如上述,密封材料層係因形成為圍繞形成有有機材料層之發光範圍的環狀,故有機材料層係由基板7a,7b,和 硬化或固化之密封材料層所圍繞,隨之,有機材料層係從外部環境所遮斷,水分或氧則未進入。As described above, since the sealing material layer is formed in a ring shape surrounding the light-emitting range in which the organic material layer is formed, the organic material layer is composed of the substrates 7a, 7b, and The layer of hardened or cured sealing material is surrounded, with the organic material layer being interrupted from the external environment and moisture or oxygen not entering.

Therefore, in the manufacturing process, the organic material layer is not mixed with the impurity gas.

隨之,未引起經由不純物氣體之有機材料層的劣化,而有機電激發光裝置的壽命則變長。Accordingly, deterioration of the organic material layer via the impurity gas is not caused, and the life of the organic electroluminescent device becomes long.

當持續有機電激發光裝置之製造時,例如,有必要印刷頭25或分配器45之洗淨或交換,對於有機材料供給系統28的原料液之填充等,作業室11a~11c內部之維護,而對於進行作業室11a~11c內部之維護時,係運出基板7a,7b,暫時停止有機電激發光裝置之製造。When the manufacture of the organic electroluminescence device is continued, for example, it is necessary to clean or exchange the print head 25 or the dispenser 45, the filling of the raw material liquid of the organic material supply system 28, and the like, and the maintenance of the inside of the work chambers 11a to 11c, When the maintenance inside the work chambers 11a to 11c is performed, the substrates 7a and 7b are transported, and the manufacture of the organic electroluminescence device is temporarily stopped.

對於進行維護作業時,通常,因將作業室11a~11c之內部空間,連接於外部環境,故大氣則進入至作業室11a~11c之內部,大氣中的水或氧等不純物氣體則附著於作業室11a~11c之內壁面。In the maintenance work, the internal space of the work chambers 11a to 11c is normally connected to the external environment, so that the atmosphere enters the inside of the work chambers 11a to 11c, and impurities such as water or oxygen in the atmosphere adhere to the work. The inner wall surfaces of the chambers 11a to 11c.

維護結束後,至少在將基板7a,7b,運送至作業室11a~11c作業室11a~11c之前,如上述,作業室11a~11c內部之環境,到達至露點-76℃(水分濃度1ppm),或作業者所期望位準為止,加熱作業室11a~11c之同時,置換氣體,形成作業環境。After the maintenance is completed, at least before the substrates 7a, 7b are transported to the work chambers 11a to 11c in the work chambers 11a to 11c, as described above, the environment inside the work chambers 11a to 11c reaches the dew point of -76 ° C (water concentration: 1 ppm). At the same time as the operator desires the level, the working chambers 11a to 11c are heated, and the gas is replaced to form an operating environment.

然而,亦可從維護結束,至開始作業室11a~11c的壁之加熱為止之間,或開始作業室11a~11c的壁之加熱之後 ,以特定時間,未供給乾燥氣體而將作業室11a~11c內部進行排氣。However, it is also possible from the end of maintenance until the heating of the walls of the working chambers 11a to 11c is started, or after the heating of the walls of the working chambers 11a to 11c is started. The inside of the working chambers 11a to 11c is exhausted without supplying dry gas for a specific period of time.

此情況,可在最初的1次之氣體置換,置換進入至作業室11a~11c內部的大氣之大部分,並效率為佳,但,之後係如上述,加熱作業室11a~11c的壁之同時,進行排氣,和乾燥氣體的供給,將作業室11a~11c內部的氣體,置換為乾燥氣體之情況則為期望。In this case, it is possible to replace most of the atmosphere entering the inside of the working chambers 11a to 11c with the gas replacement in the first time, and it is preferable that the efficiency is good, but after heating the walls of the working chambers 11a to 11c as described above, It is desirable to perform the exhaust gas and the supply of the dry gas to replace the gas inside the working chambers 11a to 11c with the dry gas.

亦可以作業室加熱手段15a~15c加熱作業室11a~11c的壁之同時,未加熱乾燥氣體而進行供給,更加地,亦可由未以作業室加熱手段15a~15c加熱,而供給加熱之乾燥氣體之情況,加熱作業室。The working chamber heating means 15a to 15c may heat the working chambers 11a to 11c while supplying the drying gas without heating the drying chambers, or may supply the heated drying gas without heating the working chamber heating means 15a to 15c. In this case, heat the work room.

任何之情況,均在作業室11a~11c加熱結束後,將作業室11a~11c,進行排氣之同時,未加熱乾燥氣體而進行供給,形成作業環境。In any case, after the heating of the working chambers 11a to 11c is completed, the working chambers 11a to 11c are exhausted, and the drying gas is not heated and supplied to form an operating environment.

在形成該作業環境之後,運入基板7a,7b,再開始有機材料層之形成,密封材料層之形成,及基板7a,7b之貼合。After the working environment is formed, the substrates 7a, 7b are transported, the formation of the organic material layer is started, the formation of the sealing material layer, and the bonding of the substrates 7a, 7b are performed.

然而,對於印刷頭25和有機材料供給系統28,及分配器45和密封材料供給系統41之間,係各設置有閥29,49。However, for the print head 25 and the organic material supply system 28, and between the dispenser 45 and the sealing material supply system 41, valves 29, 49 are provided.

將作業室11a~11c,呈較大氣壓為低之減壓環境(包含真空環境)地進行排氣之情況,關閉閥29,49,供給乾燥氣體,作業室11a~11c之內部空間則上升至特定壓力以上之後,開啟閥29,49,於印刷頭25或分配器45,如供給原料液或密封材料,在排氣中,未噴出原料液或密封材料於 作業室11a~11c之內部空間。When the working chambers 11a to 11c are exhausted in a reduced pressure environment (including a vacuum environment) having a large atmospheric pressure, the valves 29 and 49 are closed, and the dry gas is supplied, and the internal spaces of the working chambers 11a to 11c are raised to specific temperatures. After the pressure is above, the valves 29, 49 are opened to the print head 25 or the distributor 45, such as the raw material liquid or the sealing material, and the raw material liquid or the sealing material is not sprayed in the exhaust gas. The internal space of the workrooms 11a to 11c.

乾燥氣體係未限定於乾燥氮氣,而如為不會將有機材料造成化學性劣化之氣體,可使用Ar氣體等各種氣體者,例如,對於氧的存在,未成為問題之情況,亦可使用含氧之乾燥氣體(例如,乾燥空氣)者,此等乾燥氣體係亦可只將1種,供給至作業室11a~11c,而亦可將2種以上,供給至作業室11a~11c。The dry gas system is not limited to dry nitrogen, and various gases such as Ar gas may be used as the gas which does not cause chemical deterioration of the organic material. For example, the presence of oxygen may not be a problem, and may be used. In the case of the drying gas of oxygen (for example, dry air), only one of these drying gas systems may be supplied to the working chambers 11a to 11c, or two or more of them may be supplied to the working chambers 11a to 11c.

另外,亦可以在加熱作業室11a~11c時而供給之加熱氣體,和在加熱結束後,形成作業環境時而供給之作業用氣體,改變乾燥氣體的種類,亦可作為相同。In addition, the heating gas supplied when the working chambers 11a to 11c are heated and the working gas supplied when the working environment is formed after the completion of the heating may be changed to the same type.

作業室11a~11c的壁係期望為由熱傳導性高之物質而構成者,但亦可於至少一部分,崁入玻璃等之透明板,作為監視窗。The walls of the working chambers 11a to 11c are desirably composed of a material having high thermal conductivity, but at least a part thereof may be inserted into a transparent plate such as glass to serve as a monitoring window.

作業室11a~11c之加熱係期望為壁溫度成為60℃以上80℃以下地進行加熱情況,在未達60℃之中,未充分進行水分除去,而當超過80℃時,對於安全性產生問題。The heating of the working chambers 11a to 11c is desirably performed when the wall temperature is 60° C. or more and 80° C. or less, and the water is not sufficiently removed in the case of less than 60° C., and when it exceeds 80° C., there is a problem in safety. .

作業室11a~11c的加熱係不只在將基板7a,7b,運送至作業室11a~11c之前,在將基板,配置於作業室11a~11c之狀態,亦可進行,但,對於於基板7a,7b,形成有機電激發光層等耐熱性低的膜之情況,係有必要在運送基板7a,7b之前,使加熱結束,使作業室11a~11c之內部溫度,下降至特定溫度(例如,未分解構成有機電激發光層之有機材料的溫度)。The heating of the work chambers 11a to 11c may be performed not only before the substrates 7a and 7b are transported to the work chambers 11a to 11c but also when the substrates are placed in the work chambers 11a to 11c. However, for the substrate 7a, 7b, in the case of forming a film having low heat resistance such as an organic electroluminescence layer, it is necessary to terminate the heating before the substrates 7a and 7b are transported, and to lower the internal temperature of the working chambers 11a to 11c to a specific temperature (for example, The temperature of the organic material constituting the organic electroluminescent layer is decomposed).

更加地,將第一~第三之製造裝置1~3,連接於無圖示 之運送室,藉由該運送室,未將基板7a,7b,曝露於大氣,而亦可在第一~第三之製造裝置1~3間進行運送。Further, the first to third manufacturing apparatuses 1 to 3 are connected to the non-illustrated In the transport chamber, the substrates 7a and 7b are not exposed to the atmosphere by the transport chamber, and the first to third manufacturing apparatuses 1 to 3 can be transported.

以上係在形成有機材料層之後,關於於基板7a,形成密封材料層之情況,已做過說明,但,本發明並不限定於此等之構成,而亦可在第二之製造裝置2,形成密封材料層之後,在第一之製造裝置1,形成有機材料層。Although the above description has been made on the formation of the sealing material layer on the substrate 7a after the formation of the organic material layer, the present invention is not limited to the constitution, and the second manufacturing apparatus 2 may be used. After the formation of the sealing material layer, in the first manufacturing apparatus 1, an organic material layer is formed.

另外,亦可於形成有機材料層之基板7a,未設置密封材料層,而於貼合對向之基板7b,配置密封材料層,貼合基板7a,7b之間,亦可於形成有機材料層之基板7a,和貼合對向之基板7b的雙方,配置密封材料層之後,貼合基板7a,7b之間。Further, the substrate 7a on which the organic material layer is formed may be provided with a sealing material layer, and the sealing material layer may be disposed on the bonded substrate 7b, and the organic material layer may be formed between the bonding substrates 7a and 7b. After the sealing material layer is disposed on both the substrate 7a and the bonded substrate 7b, the substrates 7a and 7b are bonded to each other.

基板7a,7b之材質亦無特別限定,而可使用玻璃基板,塑料基板,陶瓷基板等者。The material of the substrates 7a and 7b is not particularly limited, and a glass substrate, a plastic substrate, a ceramic substrate or the like can be used.

在作業室11a~11c內部,處理基板7a~7c時之壓力係無特別限定,但對於形成有機材料層時,係呈印刷頭25之噴嘴的機構不混亂地,作為大氣壓之情況則為理想,對於貼合基板7a,7c時,係期望為以較大氣壓為低之壓力的作業環境而進行者。In the working chambers 11a to 11c, the pressure at the time of processing the substrates 7a to 7c is not particularly limited. However, when the organic material layer is formed, the mechanism of the nozzles of the printing head 25 is not disturbed, and it is preferable as the atmospheric pressure. When the substrates 7a and 7c are bonded together, it is desirable to carry out the work environment with a pressure lower than a large air pressure.

以上係關於在個別的作業室11a~11c內部,進行有機材料層之形成,密封材料層之形成,和基板7a,7b之貼合及固定之情況,已做過說明,但本發明係並非限定於此之構成。The above description has been made on the formation of the organic material layer in the individual working chambers 11a to 11c, the formation of the sealing material layer, and the bonding and fixing of the substrates 7a and 7b. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The composition here.

噴墨印表機20,和密封材料供給裝置40,和貼合裝置50之中,至少將2個以上的裝置,配置於相同作業室內部 ,有機材料層之形成,密封材料層之形成,和基板7a,7b之貼合及固定之中,亦可在同樣作業室內部,進行2個以上的工程。In the inkjet printer 20, the sealing material supply device 40, and the bonding device 50, at least two or more devices are disposed in the same working chamber. The formation of the organic material layer, the formation of the sealing material layer, and the bonding and fixing of the substrates 7a and 7b may be performed in two or more projects in the same working chamber.

特別是如密封材料供給裝置40與貼合裝置50,如將使用於連續進行之工程的裝置,配置於同樣作業室內部,不只縮短對於基板7a,7b之運出入所需之時間,因基板7a,7b則曝露於外部環境之危險性變低,故更為期望。In particular, if the sealing material supply device 40 and the bonding device 50 are disposed in the same working chamber, the apparatus for continuous operation is not only shortened the time required for the substrates 7a, 7b to be transported in and out, because the substrate 7a , 7b is more likely to be exposed to the external environment, so the risk is lower.

此情況,亦可於作業室內部,設置運出基板7a,7b之運出機器手臂,作為在作業室內部,運送基板。In this case, it is also possible to provide the transporting of the substrate 7a, 7b to the robot inside the work chamber, and to transport the substrate inside the work chamber.

更加地,亦可加熱作業室11a~11c的壁同時,將作業室11a~11c,進行連續排氣,未供給乾燥氣體而加熱作業室11a~11b,但,如前述,此情況係不純物之除去效率降低。Further, the working chambers 11a to 11c may be continuously exhausted while the walls of the working chambers 11a to 11c are heated, and the working chambers 11a to 11b are heated without supplying the drying gas. However, as described above, the impurities are removed. Reduced efficiency.

另外,亦可將供給乾燥氣體之氣體供給系統,和排氣系統,連接於運送室31a~31c,和匣室36a~36c之任一方或雙方。Further, the gas supply system for supplying the dry gas and the exhaust system may be connected to the transfer chambers 31a to 31c and either or both of the chambers 36a to 36c.

如在將基板7a,7b,運入於作業室11a~11c之前,將運送室31a~31c與匣室36a~36c之內部,進行排氣之同時,供給乾燥氣體,在將基板7a,7b,運入至作業室11時,從運送室31a~31c或匣室36a~36c進入之不純物氣體的量變少。Before the substrates 7a, 7b are carried into the work chambers 11a to 11c, the inside of the transfer chambers 31a to 31c and the chambers 36a to 36c are exhausted, and the dry gas is supplied, and the substrates 7a and 7b are placed. When transported to the workroom 11, the amount of the impurity gas entering from the transport chambers 31a to 31c or the chambers 36a to 36c is small.
