Patent ID: 7531847

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: an organic light-emitting element of a sequential lamination of a first electrode provided in contact with an insulating surface of a first substrate, an organic light-emitting layer provided in contact with the first electrode and including an electroluminescent organic compound, and a transparent second electrode provided in contact with the organic light-emitting layer, wherein the organic light-emitting element is provided between the first substrate and a transparent second substrate, wherein a sealing agent comprising an ultraviolet curable resin and an ultraviolet absorbent is filled between the transparent second electrode and the second substrate, wherein the ultraviolet absorbent is dispersed in the ultraviolet curable resin, wherein the sealing agent has an absorbance of 1 or more to a wavelength of ultraviolet rays irradiated for curing the ultraviolet curable resin, wherein the ultraviolet absorbent is moisture-adsorbent, and wherein the ultraviolet absorbent has a material that absorbs the wavelength region of the ultraviolet rays, which is supported on a porous body.
