Claim Text:
1. An organic EL device comprising a laminated body consisting of a first electrode layer, an organic emitting layer, and a second electrode layer laminated on a substrate and a sealing member sealing the laminated body, the substrate having one side and another side opposite to the one side, a direction connecting the one side and another side of the substrate being set as a first direction as viewed in a plan view, the organic EL device having a first electrode communicating part electrically connected to the first electrode layer at the one side of the substrate and a second electrode communicating part electrically connected to the second electrode layer at the other side of the substrate, so that a conductive pathway is formed within the laminated body to conduct electrical current between the first electrode communicating part and the second electrode communicating part, the organic EL device having a first cross groove crossing the laminated body and extending from the first electrode communicating part to the second electrode communicating part, wherein the first cross groove is formed by removing all of the first electrode layer, the organic emitting layer, and the second electrode layer, and wherein the sealing member and the substrate are connected by a connecting part, wherein the connecting part and the first cross groove are arranged in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction in the plan view, so that the connecting part is arranged closer to a terminal end of the second direction than the first cross groove.
