Patent ID: 8704443

Claim:
An organic EL device comprising: a first substrate comprising a first electrode layer and a smoothing layer which smoothes the first electrode layer; an organic layer formed on the first electrode layer of the first substrate; a second electrode layer formed on the organic layer; and a second substrate joined to the second electrode layer by an adhesive layer, wherein in a region of a peripheral portion of the first substrate, the organic layer is not formed, in a portion corresponding to the region where the organic layer is not formed, the second electrode layer is provided on the first electrode layer through an insulating layer so as to extend to an outer peripheral side of a region where the organic layer is present, the first electrode layer which is located in the first substrate in the region where the organic layer is not formed and in a portion where the second electrode layer is not provided so as to extend is folded back to a side opposite to the second substrate to constitute a first electrode taking-out portion, and the extended second electrode layer is folded back together with the insulating layer to the side opposite to the second substrate to constitute a second electrode taking-out portion.
