Abstract
An organic electroluminescent apparatus includes a plurality of light-emitting elements each having an organic layer held between a pixel electrode and a counter electrode, and a partition pattern with which the organic layers of the individual light-emitting elements are defined. The partition pattern has a plurality of openings in which the organic layers are respectively provided, the plurality of openings including first openings provided in a peripheral region of a element area, in which the light-emitting elements are arranged, and second openings provided in a region closer to the center of the element area than the region where the first openings are provided. The first openings have larger planar dimensions than those of the second openings.
