Abstract:
1. A light-emitting device, comprising: a supporting substrate; and a plurality of organic electroluminescent elements provided on the supporting substrate in a prescribed array direction to be connected in series, wherein each of the organic electroluminescent elements comprises a pair of electrodes and a light-emitting layer placed between the electrodes, the light-emitting layer extends in the prescribed array direction across the plurality of organic electroluminescent elements, each electrode out of the pair of electrodes comprises an extended portion that extends, as viewed from one thickness direction of the supporting substrate, protruding from the light-emitting layer in a width direction vertical to both of the thickness direction of the supporting substrate and the array direction, and one electrode out of the pair of electrodes further comprises a connecting portion that extends from the extended portion in the array direction to the other electrode of the organic electroluminescent element neighboring in the array direction so as to be connected to the other electrode.
