An electroluminescence device and a display device including an electroluminescence device are provided. The electroluminescence device includes an anode including silver, wherein at least a portion of the anode substantially extends in a horizontal direction; a first layer provided over the anode; an organic layer including a luminescent layer; a cathode provided over the organic layer; and an insulating layer provided over an end portion of the anode and an end portion of the first layer, wherein at least a portion of the cathode substantially extends in the horizontal direction in a light emission region, wherein a surface of the insulating layer has a curved portion, and wherein at least a portion of the cathode within a region of the insulating layer above the curved portion extends along a first angled upward direction between the horizontal direction and the thickness direction of the anode.

Electroluminescence device and display device

An HUD superimposes a display object, as a stereoscopic image or a planar image, on an actual scene. A display control device acquires information about a moving object and information about surrounding and estimates a relative distance between a display obstacle and the moving object. When it is determined that the display obstacle exists or can exist between the display object and the moving object, the display control device changes the display mode of the display object in accordance with the amount of change in the relative distance and notifies the HUD of the display mode.
