Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing an organic EL device, comprising steps of: providing a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate including a TFT and a capacitor formed on a first insulating substrate, and a planarized film on the first insulating substrate that covers the TFT and the capacitor; providing an organic EL substrate including a transparent electrode, an organic EL layer and a metal electrode formed on a second insulating substrate; and sealing the TFT array substrate and the organic EL substrate to electrically connect the TFT of the TFT array substrate to the metal electrode of the organic EL substrate, wherein the TFT array substrate further includes a conductive interface pad on the planarized film and connected to the TFT, the conductive interface pad directly contacting the metal electrode of the organic EL substrate once the TFT array substrate and the organic EL substrate are sealed together.
