Abstract:
1. A light-emitting apparatus comprising: a substrate having a light-emitting region, in which a plurality of pixels are arranged, and an external region disposed laterally outside the light-emitting region; a drive circuit disposed on the substrate; a resin film comprising a planarizing layer to flatten the upper portion of the drive circuit disposed in the light-emitting region; organic electroluminescent elements disposed on the planarizing layer, each of the organic electroluminescent elements comprising, in order from the substrate, a first electrode, an organic compound layer and a second electrode contacted with the drive circuit at a contact portion in the external region; and a light interference layer disposed on the second electrode of the organic electroluminescent elements for improving the light extracting efficiency of the organic electroluminescent element; wherein the second electrode and the light interference layer extend from the light-emitting region to the external region, wherein a formation end of the second electrode in the external region is disposed on the resin film, wherein a formation end of the light interference layer in the external region is located in a side nearer to the light-emitting region than is the formation end of the second electrode, and wherein the formation end of the light interference layer is located in the outside of an upper end of a side surface of the resin film adjacent to the contact portion with respect to the light-emitting region.
