The present invention provides an electro-optical device capable of
achieving an increased light emission efficiency and an enhanced
visibility. An organic electroluminescents (EL) display device has a
plurality of material layers including a luminescent layer. In a
plurality of material layers layered in the direction of light emission
from the luminescent layer, first and second insulating interlayers are
disposed between a substrate, which is positioned at the outermost
surface, and the luminescent layer. The first and second insulating
interlayers have a refractive index lower than that of the substrate.
Accordingly, by forming predetermined materials having a low refractive
index, the resulting low refractive index layers have a low dielectric
constant, and consequently, the capacity between wires can be reduced.
