PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To arrange a drying agent more effectively by quantitatively setting the amount and arranged state of the drying agent provided in a sealed space. SOLUTION: Organic EL element 12 is installed in the sealed space 16 formed between a supporting substrate 11 and a sealing member 13 by forming the organic EL element 12 holding an organic layer containing at least a light emitting layer between a pair of electrodes on the supporting substrate 11, and adhering the sealing member 13 to the substrate 11 through adhesive 15. The drying agent 14 is provided separately from the organic EL element 12 on a surface facing the supporting substrate 11 in the sealed space 16. The occupied volume (=M<SB>1</SB>×M<SB>2</SB>×T) of the drying agent 14 provided inside the sealed space 16 is made to be≥30% of volume V (=V<SB>1</SB>×V<SB>2</SB>×H) of the sealed space 16 by volume ratio. Furthermore, the distance h between the drying agent 14 and the organic EL element 12 is made to be≤0.3mm. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
