Patent ID: 8193697

Claim:
A light-emitting device having a substrate and a light-emitting element formed on the substrate; the light-emitting element comprising: a stacked layer structure portion including a reflective electrode, a light-emitting layer on the reflective electrode and a transparent electrode on the light-emitting layer which are stacked over the substrate with the reflective electrode as a bottom layer; the light-emitting layer having a flat surface provided at least on a portion of the light-emitting layer; a bank at least disposed in a peripheral area surrounding the flat surface or on a peripheral portion of the flat surface of the light-emitting layer and having a tilt surface tilted with respect to the flat surface; and a conductive film at least provided on the tilt surface and electrically connected with the transparent electrode, the conductive film forming a reflective surface on the tilt surface; wherein an optical waveguide layer is provided in an area surrounded by the tilt surface.
