Abstract
To effectively prevent intrusion of moisture into a space above an organic EL element, a moisture blocking layer made of a silicon-based nitride film such as SiNx or a TEOS film formed to cover a drain electrode and source electrode of a TFT is formed on the entire surface of the element. A sealing glass is attached to the moisture blocking layer by a sealing material on the peripheral region of the substrate. The intrusion of moisture from the outside is effectively prevented by the moisture blocking layer.
