A light-emitting device includes: a plurality of light-emitting elements (P1) each of which has an anode (15), a thin organic light-emitting layer (16), and a cathode (17) sequentially stacked on a substrate and emits light by excitation due to an electric field, the anode (15) being separated from another anode (15) by an insulating pixel partition wall (14); an organic buffer layer (19) that is formed of an organic compound, covers an area larger than a region where the plurality of light-emitting elements (P1) are formed, has a step difference smaller than that of an upper surface of the cathode (17) on the substrate (10), and is approximately flat; and first (20) and second (21) gas barrier layers that are formed of an inorganic compound, are disposed on an outer surface of the organic buffer layer (19), and protect the plurality of light-emitting elements (P1) against air. Only one of the first (20) and second (21) gas barrier layers is adjacent to an upper surface of an insulating layer (18) formed of an inorganic compound on the substrate so as to cover an area larger than that of the organic buffer layer (19). |
