Patent ID: 8653506

Claim:
An organic electroluminescence device comprising: a first electrode layer; an insulating film arranged on the first electrode layer; a lighting unit, comprising an organic layer arranged on the insulating film, the organic layer being in contact with the first electrode layer at a first opening portion provided in the insulating film; a second electrode layer arranged on the organic layer; and a metal layer arranged on the second electrode layer, the metal layer being in contact with an end surface of the organic layer and with an end surface of the second electrode layer; and an extraction electrode layer adjacent to the metal layer and being in contact with the first electrode layer, wherein the extraction electrode layer and the metal layer face each other, and a top surface of the metal layer and a top surface of the extraction electrode layer are flush with each other, and wherein peripheral surfaces of the organic layer are covered by the insulating film and the metal layer, except for surfaces of the organic layer in contact with the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, for any lighting unit in the organic electroluminescence device.
