Abstract

An organic electroluminescence device includes a substrate, an organic electroluminescence element disposed on the substrate, a protecting portion configured to protect the organic electroluminescence element, and a resin portion mainly composed of a resin material. The protecting portion includes a first layer mainly composed of a silicon-based inorganic material containing nitrogen, a second layer mainly composed of silicon oxide or aluminum oxide, and a third layer mainly composed of a silicon-based inorganic material containing nitrogen, and the resin portion is disposed at a side surface of the second layer.
