On a cathode (40) of an organic EL element, a stress reducing layer (42)
formed by a material which is the same as that used for an organic layer of the
organic EL element is formed. A moisture block layer (44) formed by a material
which is the same as that used for the cathode (40) is then formed on the
stress reducing layer (42). Thus, entering of moisture is effective prevented
while the stress is reduced.
