Abstract
An organic EL device (OELD) having a defective portion is irradiated with a laser beam; first luminance of light emitted from the OELD is measured after the OELD is irradiated with the laser beam, while supplying, to the OELD, a first amount of current with which the OELD in a normal state would emit light having luminance corresponding to a first grayscale level smaller than a reference level; the OELD is re-irradiated with the laser beam when the first luminance is smaller than a threshold; and second luminance of light emitted from the OELD is measured when the first luminance is greater than or equal to the threshold, while supplying, to the OELD, a second amount of current with which the OELD in the normal state would emit light having luminance corresponding to a second grayscale level greater than or equal to the reference level.
