Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a large EL panel which includes a plurality of EL display panels, each of the plurality of EL display panels being formed of an EL display device and a sub-transparent substrate that supports the EL display device in parallel, the EL display device including: a base layer over which a luminescent material is applied; an electrode layer which is laminated on one side of the base layer; and a TFT layer including a circuit section in which light emission of the luminescent material is controlled by applying a predetermined voltage between the electrode layer and the TFT layer and a pixel section which is superimposed over another side of the base layer opposite the one side and which is provided with a plurality of pixels which divide the base layer into sections so that light emission of the luminescent material in each section is individually controlled by generating a potential difference between the electrode layer and the TFT layer at the corresponding section, the method of manufacturing comprising: removing the EL display devices from the sub transparent substrates; arranging the obtained EL display devices on a main transparent substrate, which is broader than the sub-transparent substrate, in a matrix pattern and in a manner such that light emitting areas of the adjacent EL display devices are in proximity to each other; and disposing and fixing the circuit section of the TFT layer, which is disposed at a region outside the light emitting area, behind an adjacent EL display device.
