Abstract:
1. A process for producing an organic electroluminescence device, comprising, in sequence, the steps of: (a) forming an organic luminescence element portion on a substrate; (b) dehydrating a sealing glass sheet; and (c) sealing the organic luminescence element portion by overlapping the organic luminescence element portion with the sealing glass sheet such that the organic luminescence element portion and the sealing glass sheet are in direct contact, wherein the sealing step is conducted under a reduced pressure atmosphere and comprises the sub-steps of: (c-i) directly contacting the substrate and the sealing glass sheet with each other at a periphery of the sealing glass sheet; and thereafter (c-ii) fixing the sealing glass sheet to the substrate with a low melting point metal applied along an outer edge of the sealing glass sheet and an adjoining surface of the substrate.
