Patent ID: 7446472

Claim:
An organic multicolor emission and display device comprising: a first substrate; an organic light emitting element including at least a first electrode, an organic light emitting layer, and a transparent second electrode laminated on the first substrate; a transparent second substrate; a color conversion filter layer formed on the transparent second substrate, the color conversion filter layer receiving electroluminescence from the organic light emitting layer and generating colored light; and a gap material that positions the first substrate and the transparent second substrate opposite to each other in such a way that the organic light emitting element is opposite to the color conversion filter layer with a predetermined clearance, and that seals a space between the first substrate and the transparent second substrate; wherein the gap material is placed along an outer peripheral region on an inner surface of the first substrate, the organic light emitting element being provided on the inner surface of the first substrate and the organic light emitting element being absent on the outer peripheral region of the first substrate; and the gap material is placed also along an outer peripheral region on an inner surface of the transparent second substrate, the color conversion filter layer being provided on the inner surface of the transparent second substrate, and the color conversion filter layer being absent on the outer peripheral region of the transparent second substrate; and the gap material performs function to desiccate atmosphere of a sealed space between the first substrate and the transparent second substrate, and wherein the gap material placed along the outer peripheral region on the inner surfaces of the first substrate and the transparent second substrate have different porosities between an inner portion of the gap material facing the sealed space and an outer portion of the gap material facing external atmosphere.
