Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing an organic electroluminescence device comprising a first flexible plate and a second flexible plate and an organic electroluminescence element provided on a portion at approximately the center of at least one of the flexible plates, the method comprising: (A) forming the first flexible plate; (B) forming a substantially frame-shaped UV-curable resin layer on at least one of the first flexible plate and the second flexible plate; and (C) adhering the first flexible plate with the second flexible plate, wherein the step (A) of forming the first flexible plate comprises adhering a first polymer film, which is able to transmit ultraviolet light and is substantially flat frame-shaped, and a second polymer film having a flat shape, which has a gas barrier film formed thereon, so that the first polymer film and the second polymer film face each other such that the second polymer film covers substantially all of the area of the inside of the frame of the first polymer film, and at least a part of the first polymer film is left protruding from an outer periphery of the second polymer film, so as to form the first flexible plate, wherein, in the step (B) of forming the substantially frame-shaped UV-curable resin layer on at least one of the first flexible plate and the second flexible plate, when the first flexible plate and the second flexible plate have been overlapped with each other, the UV-curable resin layer is positioned at a periphery of the organic electroluminescence element and overlaps at least partially with the S region; and wherein in the step (C) of adhering the first flexible plate with the second flexible plate, after the S region and the frame-shaped UV-curable resin layer are faced to each other so as to be overlapped, the resultant is irradiated with UV light which uses the S region as an irradiation face, so as to cure the UV-curable resin layer.
