Patent ID: 7642715

Claim:
A light-emitting device, comprising: a base; a plurality of first electrodes; a second electrode; an organic functional layer disposed between the plurality of first electrodes and the second electrode, the second electrode covering the organic functional layer; an organic buffer layer having an elasticity, the organic buffer layer covering the second electrode; a gas barrier layer having an elasticity, the gas barrier layer covering the organic buffer layer; an intermediate protective layer disposed between the organic buffer layer and the gas barrier layer, the intermediate protective layer having a pattern and having an elasticity which is greater than the elasticity of the organic buffer layer and which is less than the elasticity of the gas barrier layer; and a region outside the intermediate protective layer, the gas barrier layer extending over the pattern of the intermediate protective layer and extending over the region outside the intermediate protective layer, the plurality of first electrodes, the organic functional layer, the second electrode, the organic buffer layer, the gas barrier layer and the intermediate protective layer being disposed above the base.
