Patent ID: 7129637

Claim:
An organic EL device comprising: a thin film transistor formed on a substrate, including a first region and a second region as a source and a drain, a channel region between the first and second regions, and a gate electrode; an interlayer insulating film disposed on the substrate, covering the thin film transistor; a pixel electrode disposed on the interlayer insulating film and electrically connected to the first region of the thin film transistor via a via hole formed in the interlayer insulating film; a cover film covering an edge of the pixel electrode and not covering an inner area of a surface of the pixel electrode; a light shielding film for shielding an ultraviolet ray, the light shielding film covering a surface of the interlayer insulating film in an area superposed upon the channel region of the thin film transistor; an organic light emission film disposed on the pixel electrode and containing organic light emission material; and an upper electrode disposed on the organic light emission layers; wherein said light shielding film has an ultraviolet transmissivity of 30% or lower.
