Patent ID: 8253328

Claim:
An organic electroluminescence device comprising: a substrate; a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged above the substrate, each of the plurality of light-emitting elements including a pair of electrodes and an organic light-emitting layer disposed between the electrodes; an organic buffer layer covering the plurality of light-emitting elements; a gas barrier layer covering the organic buffer layer; and a sealing layer that is arranged on the gas barrier layer, the sealing layer overlapping a peripheral end of the organic buffer layer, wherein the gas barrier layer has a structure wherein first inorganic films and second inorganic films are alternately stacked, wherein the first inorganic films contain a silicon compound containing nitrogen; the second inorganic films contain an oxide of the formation material of the first inorganic films and each have a thickness smaller than that of each first inorganic film; the numbers of the first inorganic films and the second inorganic films are each at least two; and a peripheral end of the gas barrier layer being arranged between a peripheral end of the substrate and a peripheral end of the sealing layer.
