Organic electroluminescence unit

Abstract

An active matrix organic electroluminescence unit which is easy to manufacture. The organic electroluminescence unit comprises an organic material layer formed on a surface of the electrode panel, a dielectric layer formed near the organic material layer on the surface of the electrode panel, a metal electrode formed continuous to the surfaces of the organic material layer and the dielectric layer, and having a portion corresponding to the organic material layer functioning as a control electrode, and an organic electroluminescence element formed on the organic material layer. According to a second aspect, the organic electroluminescence unit comprises an insulating film for covering a protruding electrode formed at a position near an intersection with a data line on a scanning line, and formed with data lines and first metal electrodes, respectively, on the surface thereof, a first organic material layer for covering each of these data lines, first metal electrodes and insulating film, an electrode panel, a second organic material layer formed on the surface of the electrode panel, a second metal electrode formed continuous to be in contact with each of the surface of the second organic material layer and each of the first metal electrodes, with a portion corresponding to the second organic material layer functioning as a gate electrode, and an organic electroluminescence element formed on the second organic material layer.
