Abstract

An organic light-emitting device includes a display region, a non-display region disposed around the display region, a first organic light-emitting element disposed on a substrate and included in the display region, and a second organic light-emitting element disposed on the substrate and included in the non-display region. The first organic light-emitting element and the second organic light-emitting element each include, in an order from a side of the substrate, a first electrode, an organic layer including a light emitting layer, and a second electrode. The light emitting layer is common to and extends across the first organic light-emitting element and the second organic light-emitting element. A light-emitting threshold voltage for the second organic light-emitting element is higher than a light-emitting threshold voltage for the first organic light-emitting element.
