Patent ID: 7902755

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: a substrate; a plurality of light-emitting elements which are arranged above the substrate, each having a first electrode and a second electrode with a light-emitting layer interposed therebetween; an insulating film which is formed above the substrate and insulates the first electrode and the second electrode from each other; a peripheral layer which is formed above the substrate and is located closer to an end of the substrate than the insulating film; and a sealing layer which is formed above the substrate and covers the plurality of light-emitting elements and the insulating film, wherein the sealing layer is formed of a plural-layer thin film, the plural-layer thin film including at least a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer, the first layer being interposed between the second layer and the third layer, the second layer contacting the third layer between the insulating film and the peripheral layer, wherein the plural-layer thin film includes an organic buffer film formed of an organic material, wherein an end of the organic buffer film is interposed between the insulating film and the peripheral layer and is separated from the peripheral layer in plan view, wherein the light-emitting device further includes: a cathode layer which is formed above the substrate; and a wiring line which is formed above the substrate, wherein an end of the wiring line extends beyond the cathode layer and beyond the end of the organic buffer film, and wherein the second layer contacts the cathode layer.
