Patent ID: 8098009

Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising: an element substrate; a pixel electrode disposed over the element substrate; a counter electrode opposite to the pixel electrode, the counter electrode having light transmissivity; an organic electro-luminescent (EL) layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode, the organic EL layer having at least a light-emitting layer; a sealing material disposed over the counter electrode; a color converting layer which is a substantially flat sheet layer over the sealing material, the color converting layer overlapping the pixel electrode in plan view; a counter substrate opposite to the element substrate, the color converting layer being disposed between the counter substrate and the element substrate; a color filter disposed over the counter substrate, the color filter including a colored portion that selectively transmits a light that is within a certain wavelength range; and an adhesive layer bonding the element substrate and the counter substrate such that the color converting layer and the colored portion are opposite to each other; the colored portion overlapping the organic EL layer and the color converting layer in plan view, the color converting layer converting a light emitted by the organic EL layer into light having a wavelength near the certain wavelength range selectively transmitted by the colored portion.
