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.
