Patent ID: 7652423

Claim:
An organic EL device comprising: a transparent substrate; a gate line which extends in a first direction provided on the substrate; a source line which extends in a second direction crossing the gate line; transistors; pixel electrodes which are provided in correspondence with the transistors; for each pixel, a light-emitting layer which is provided on the pixel electrode; a bank layer which is provided between adjacent light-emitting layers; and a common electrode which is provided to cover the light-emitting layers and the bank layer from a side opposite to the substrate, wherein the transistor has a silicon film which has a channel region, a source region and a drain region and is formed on the substrate, a gate insulation film formed on the silicon film and the substrate, and a gate line which is formed on the gate insulation film, the gate line and the source line, which is formed on the gate insulation film, are electrically connected to the gate insulation film and the source region through the insulation film, light from the light-emitting layer is emitted by being transmitted through the substrate, the source line is provided between the transistors and the pixel electrodes, the bank layer is provided between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode, and the source line and the bank layer are positioned between adjacent pixels on the substrate in plan view, a first light transflective layer is provided between the source line and the gate insulation layer of the transistor formed on the substrate, at a predetermined distance from the source line, a second light transflective layer is provided inside the bank layer at a predetermined distance from the common electrode, the first and second light transflective layers are positioned between adjacent pixels on the substrate in plan view, the first light transflective layer is positioned so as to cause interference and canceling out between light that enters by being transmitted through the substrate and which is reflected by the first light transflective layer, and returning light that is reflected by the source line and is transmitted through the first light transflective layer again after being transmitted through the substrate and the first light transflective layer, and the second light transflective layer is positioned so as to cause interference and canceling out between light that enters by being transmitted through the substrate and which is reflected by the second light transflective layer, and returning light that is reflected by the common electrode and transmitted through the second light transflective layer again after being transmitted through the substrate and the second light transflective layer.
