Abstract
Panel () of the present invention includes substrate () having flat surface () having rectangular display section (), and adjacent surface () curved from an edge part of surface () in the vicinity of a long side of surface (). On surface (), terminals, extending from display section () (in the vicinity of the long side), are arranged. Edge parts of surfaces () of substrates () of adjacent panels () are combined so that longitudinal directions of light-emitting sections () are parallel to each other. Surface () projects on a back surface side of substrate (). It is thus possible to provide a light-emitting panel device realizing a large light-emitting surface by combining a desired number of panels, an image display device including the light-emitting panel device, an illumination device including the light-emitting panel device, a panel in the light-emitting panel device, and a method of producing the panel.
