Method and apparatus for manufacturing a organic el luminescent panel

The surface of the sealed space side of the sealing substrate, grease-like or gel-like material and applying or laying process applying or laying, drying step of drying the grease-like or gel-like material is applied or laid on the sealing substrate It is executed. Then, the the surface of the grease-like or gel-like material is applied or laid in sealing substrate, in a state facing the surface on which the organic EL elements are formed in the element formation substrate, and the sealing substrate and the element forming substrate bonding process performs sealing by a sealing agent such as an adhesive is performed in the peripheral portion.
