Patent ID: 8669922

Claim:
An image display panel comprising: a lower substrate; self-light emitting elements for image display that are arranged on the lower substrate in a matrix shape and form an image display unit; a self-light emitting element for monitoring that is arranged on the lower substrate and emits monitoring light for the image display unit; and an upper substrate that holds the self-light emitting elements for image display and the self-light emitting element for monitoring in conjunction with the lower substrate, wherein either (a) the self-light emitting elements for image display are organic EL elements of a top emission type, and the self-light emitting element for monitoring is at least an organic EL element of a bottom emission type, or (b) the self-light emitting elements for image display are organic EL elements of a bottom emission type, and the self-light emitting element for monitoring is at least an organic EL element of a top emission type, such that the image display panel includes self-light emitting elements for image display and for monitoring that have opposite emission directions for display and monitoring.
