<p>An organic EL element capable of improving the difference in luminance among a plurality of luminescent portions due to the difference in luminescence rise time. There are formed segment portions (S) for determining a luminescent shape and wiring portions (L) for feeding electric current individually to the segment portions (S). the area of the wiring portions (L) of the segment portions (S) is so enlarged that the luminance at the segment portions (S) may fall within a range of luminance 30 % higher than a minimum luminance.</p>
