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.
