A self light emitting display device having high level of the external coupling
efficiency and high grade image presentation as no optical cross-talk or blur can
be obtained by a new light-emitting element. The device is constructed as follows.
A plurality of picture elements, each of which picture elements has an organic
layer composing light emitting areas, a transparent electrode and a reflective
electrodes, are formed on a substrate. Between the picture elements, a bank which
has a tilted reflective surface is formed so that the light emitting area is surrounded
by the bank wherein the transparent optical waveguide layer is formed as optically
isolated for each of the picture elements.
