Definitions

- Various types of TFT configurations have been proposed, but basically, a current flowing between a source electrode and a drain electrode provided in contact with a semiconductor layer is insulated from the semiconductor layer. It is configured to be controlled by a voltage applied to a gate electrode provided through a layer (that is, an electric field generated by the applied voltage).
- semiconductor materials currently in practical use include semiconductor materials such as amorphous silicon and low-temperature polysilicon, which are relatively inexpensive in terms of characteristics as compared with crystalline silicon, but are relatively inexpensive. There is.
- examples of insulating materials that are currently in practical use include silicon nitride and silicon nitride.
- TFT manufacturing processes using these semiconductor materials and insulating materials require large-scale equipment such as plasma CVD and thin-film control equipment for precision processing. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the TFT increases.
- the manufacturing process generally includes a process at a processing temperature exceeding 350 ° C., there is a limitation on usable substrate materials and the like.
- an organic semiconductor composed of an organic compound has been receiving attention as a semiconductor material that can be used for TFTs.
- This organic semiconductor is a low-cost process and a low-temperature process, such as spin coating, ink-jet printing, and immersion technology.
- the semiconductor layer can be formed by a manufacturing process such as singleting. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the TFT can be reduced, and restrictions on usable substrate materials and the like are eliminated. Also, the low-cost process and low-temperature process described above are suitable. Because it can be used, TFTs can be formed on flexible substrates and large-area substrates, which is expected to expand applications to large-screen displays, sheet-like displays, and paper-like displays. ing.

- a representative example of an electronic device using an organic material is an organic electroluminescent device (hereinafter, referred to as an organic EL device).
- Organic EL elements have the same problems as organic TFTs in that organic materials are used, and the sealing technology greatly affects the life of the element.
- a method of sealing the organic EL device portion formed on the substrate with a metal cap (Patent Document 1) and disposing a desiccant in the container (Patent Document 1) Reference 2) has been taken.
- a method of vertically sealing an organic EL element layer with a polymer film including a barrier layer having low permeability to oxygen or water vapor is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 3).
- a transparent conductive film formed on the surface of an organic EL element is formed of a metal oxide whose oxygen content is less than the stoichiometric composition and absorbs water and oxygen. (For example, see Patent Document 3).
- Patent Documents 3 and 4 and the like aim at extending the life of the organic EL element. (Not limited to EL), it is necessary to prevent gas and moisture in the atmosphere from entering by the same method.
- the method using a metal cap disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 and the method disclosed in Patent Document 3 require a separate sealing member, which increases the number of manufacturing steps and makes the display device thicker. There were issues such as becoming.
- the organic EL element which is a display element portion is protected, but when an organic TFT is used as a TFT, gas and moisture in the air enter the organic TFT portion. There was a problem that it could not be prevented.
- the life of the display is required to be further increased with the increase in the number of sheets and the size of the display.
- a method of protecting the organic material portion without increasing the number of constituent members has been demanded.

- the oxygen transport rate (OTR) can be measured at room temperature (23 ° C) and in a dry environment using a commercially available instrument (eg, OxtranlOZ50 manufactured by Mocon).
- the conductive film is formed so as to cover the entire display region. This makes it possible to more effectively suppress the permeation of a gas having a surface force and a gas of moisture as compared with the case where the conductive film on the surface of the display element portion is divided for each pixel.
- the substrate is a substrate that suppresses gas transmission of oxygen and moisture.
