A semi-transmissive film is provided underneath a transparent electrode of
an organic EL element. The optical length of the interval between the
upper surface of the semi-transmissive film and the lower surface of a
counter electrode serving as a reflective layer is configured such that
this interval functions as a microresonator for selecting light having a
specific wavelength. Further, a light-shielding film is provided in a
position corresponding to the peripheral portion of the semi-transmissive
film, so as to prevent light having a different color from being ejected
due to non-uniformity in the optical length.
