摘要

An organic EL device comprising: 1) a laminate consisting of an opposed pair of electrodes and an organic light-emitting layer sandwiched between the electrode, 2) a gas-tight housing accommodating the laminate and shielding off the external atmosphere, and 3) a sheet-like preformed moisture-absorbing body which is stretched and fabricated outside the gas-tight housing in advance, disposed in isolation from the laminate within the gas-tight housing, the preformed moisture-absorbing body being fixedly secured to at least one part of the gas-tight housing, and the preformed moisture-absorbing body comprising a desiccant and a resin component.
