Reducing the manufacturing cost of an EL display device and an electronic
device furnished with the EL display device is taken as an objective. A
textured structure in which projecting portions are formed on the surface
of a cathode is used. External stray light is diffusely (irregularly)
reflected by the action of the projecting portions when reflected by the
surface of the cathode, and therefore a defect in which the face of an
observer or the surrounding scenery is reflected in the surface of the
cathode can be prevented. This can be completed without using a
conventionally necessary high price circular polarizing film, and
therefore it is possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing the EL
display device.
