Abstract:
Method for manufacturing organic EL element, including: reducing internal pressure of vacuum chamber by vacuum pump connected thereto in state where substrate with applied film formed thereon is placed in vacuum chamber, applied film having been formed by applying material of organic light-emitting layer to substrate; and purifying applied film having passed through reducing the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber. Diphenylamine is used in portion of vacuum pump that is connected to inside of vacuum chamber. Reducing internal pressure of vacuum chamber is performed such that molecules of diphenylamine fly from vacuum pump into vacuum chamber and some of molecules are taken into applied film, and purifying is performed so that content of diphenylamine in applied film is in range from more than 0 nmol/cm3 to 13.8 nmol/cm3.

Abstract:
A method for reducing an internal pressure of a vacuum chamber while preventing impurity contamination within the vacuum chamber as much as possible. The method includes: rough pumping reducing an internal pressure of a vacuum chamber (1) by using a roughing pump (2), the roughing pump (2) being a mechanical pump that is capable of reducing the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber (1) to be less than 15 Pa; main pumping reducing the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber (1) by using a main pump (3) after the rough pumping, the main pump (3) being a non-mechanical pump. Transition from the rough pumping to the main pumping is performed when the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber (1) is no less than 15 Pa.
Abstract:
A functional layer of an organic light-emitting element is formed by using an ink including a first solvent and a second solvent having equal or similar boiling points, and a functional material. The first solvent is such that an imitatively formed functional layer formed by replacing the second solvent with the first solvent, in a light-emitting region of an organic light-emitting element, is thicker at both end portions than at a central portion and top surfaces of the end portions are positioned higher than a top surface of the central portion. The second solvent is such that an imitatively formed functional layer formed by replacing the first solvent with the second solvent, in a light-emitting region of an organic light-emitting element, is thicker at a central portion than at both end portions and a top surface of the central portion is positioned higher than top surfaces of the end portions.
Abstract:
A method for using a vacuum apparatus that includes a vacuum chamber and a pump, the vacuum chamber housing an object, the pump reducing an internal pressure of the vacuum chamber, the method including: ventilating inside the vacuum chamber by introducing a gas into the vacuum chamber and discharging the gas from the vacuum chamber by causing the pump to reduce the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber. In the ventilating, a discharge rate at which molecules of the gas per unit volume are discharged is at least 3.3×10−5 mol/(s·L), and the temperature in the vacuum chamber is at least 15° C. and at most 80° C.
