ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE DISPLAY DEVICE
The organic electroluminescence display device has a circuit board, an element layer which contains an organic electroluminescence film and a positive electrode and a negative electrode sandwiching the organic electroluminescence film and which is formed on the circuit board, and a sealing film sealing the element layer. The sealing film contains an inorganic layer covering the element layer and an organic layer formed between a part of the element layer and a part of the inorganic layer. The upper surface of the element layer has an inorganic contact area contacting the inorganic layer and an organic contact area contacting the organic layer. The organic contact area is a hollow in the upper surface of the element layer. The area of the upper surface of the organic layer is smaller than the area of the lower surface contacting the inner surface of the hollow.
