Organic light emitting device, manufacturing method thereof, and display unit
The invention provides an organic light emitting device which can electrically connect an auxiliary wiring and a second electrode without using a mask for pixel coating, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display unit. In organic light emitting devices, for example, a first electrode as an anode, an insulating film, an organic layer including a light emitting layer, and a second electrode as a cathode are layered in this order from a substrate side. The organic layer has a break part on a side face of an auxiliary wiring. The auxiliary wiring and the second electrode are electrically connected through this break part.
