Organic el display

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide an organic EL display that has a reduced optical loss and high efficiency, and can be manufactured by an inexpensive method. The organic EL display of the present invention is formed by bonding an organic EL element substrate including a substrate, reflective electrode, organic EL layer, separation wall, barrier layer, transparent electrode, and color conversion layer; and a sealing substrate together, wherein: the reflective electrode includes a plurality of partial electrodes; the organic EL layer is formed on the reflective electrode and includes a plurality of parts separated by the separation wall; the transparent electrode is formed on the organic EL layer; the barrier layer covers the separation wall and the transparent electrode, and has a recessed part in a location corresponding to the reflective electrode; and the color conversion layer is formed in the recessed part.
