Abstract:
1. An organic EL device array, which includes within a surface thereof a light emitting region having a plurality of organic EL light emitting portions for emitting light in an organic compound layer disposed between a pair of electrodes, comprising: (a) a protective layer in contact with an upper electrode of the pair of electrodes; (b) a member disposed on the protective layer; (c) an intermediate layer disposed between the protective layer and the member, wherein the intermediate layer has a thinnest portion outside the light emitting region within the surface of the organic EL device array; and (d) a first insulating film outside the light emitting region, wherein the intermediate layer is disposed on the insulating film; and the thinnest portion of the intermediate layer is provided on the insulating film; and (e) a second insulating film disposed between the organic light emitting portions adjacent to each other, wherein (i) the first insulating film disposed outside the light emitting region has a length in an in-plane direction of the light emitting region, which is greater than a length, in the in-plane direction, of the second insulating film disposed between the organic EL light emitting portions adjacent to each other, and (ii) the first insulating film disposed outside the light emitting region is thicker than the second insulating film disposed between the organic EL light emitting portions adjacent to each other.
