Direct-view-type display apparatus

Abstract

An organic EL display, wherein fabrication is simplified, manufacturing cost is reduced, periodicity with which pixels are arrayed is maintained, picture quality is prevented from deteriorating due to a boundary between transparent substrates, and high resolution is realized. A plurality of organic thin-film EL elements (2) are formed on a single transparent substrate (1). Circuit substrates (5) in which driver circuits (6) for supplying signals to signal and scanning electrodes of the elements (2) are mounted are bonded to the elements (2). The circuit substrate has an end-sealing property and through-holes bored opposite the signal and scanning electrodes. The through-holes are covered by a conductive, end-sealing material. Signals are supplied from the driver circuit (6) to the signal and scanning electrodes through the conductive material. A portion of the organic EL element which is not bonded to the circuit substrate is covered by an end-sealing material.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
