Abstract

A device in which warpage or distortion is less likely to occur even in a high-temperature or high-humidity environment is provided. A light-emitting device includes a first flexible substrate, a second flexible substrate, and an element layer. The first flexible substrate includes an organic resin. The second flexible substrate includes an organic resin. The element layer is positioned between the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate. The element layer includes a light-emitting element. The light-emitting element emits light to the first flexible substrate side. The first flexible substrate has higher average transmittance of light having a wavelength of greater than or equal to 400 nm and less than or equal to 800 nm than the second flexible substrate.
