Patent ID: 7301277

Claim:
An electro-optical apparatus, comprising: a light-emitting element, the light-emitting element including: an anode; an insulating layer formed on a first electrode so as to expose a part of the anode; an organic light-emitting layer formed above the part of the anode; a cathode formed above the organic light-emitting layer and the insulating layer: and a sealing layer to hermetically seal the light-emitting element, the sealing layer including: a first planarizing insulating layer made of an organic compound and formed above the organic light-emitting layer and the insulating layer, the surface of the first planarizing insulating layer being planarized, the first planarizing layer having a first thickness in a first area, and a second thickness in a second area, the first and second thicknesses being different; a gas barrier layer made of an inorganic compound and formed on the first planarizing insulating layer; a second planarizing insulating layer made of an organic compound and formed on the gas barrier layer; and a heat radiation layer having thermal conductivity and formed on the second planarizing insulating layer, the heat radiation layer contacting the gas barrier layer outside a region where the insulating layer is formed.
