Abstract

Disclosed herein is a light-emitting panel including: an organic electroluminescence element adapted to emit electroluminescence light toward a transparent substrate; a pixel circuit formed on the transparent substrate and adapted to drive the organic electroluminescence element; a color filter formed not only between the transparent substrate and organic electroluminescence element but also immediately on or above the pixel circuit; and a conductive layer formed between the pixel circuit and color filter, the conductive layer being more conductive than the color filter.

Claims (45)
