Patent ID: 7501754

Claim:
An organic electroluminescent device comprising: a substrate; a partition member surrounding regions of the substrate; and organic electroluminescent elements arranged above the substrate, each including: a first electrode; a charge transport layer formed on the first electrode, the charge transport layer being formed in each of the regions of the substrate; a convex portion protruding toward the charge transport layer and arranged on the first electrode; a light-emitting layer formed above the charge transport layer and the convex portion, the light-emitting layer being formed in each of the regions of the substrate; a second electrode formed above the light-emitting layer, the partition member being arranged along a periphery of the first electrode, a part of the charge transport layer being interposed between the convex portion and the light-emitting layer, and the convex portion being formed on the first electrode substantially in a stripe shape in plan view and not in contact with the partition member.
