An organic electroluminescence device in which device sealing is facilitated and in which a display employing the device as a light emitting device may be increased in size. The organic electroluminescence device includes a transparent substrate, an electrode film, a transparent electrode film, a first insulating film having an opening, an organic electroluminescence light emitting film, a metal electrode film and a second insulating film. The first and second insulating films exhibit gas barrier characteristics. The opening is tapered so that its opening degree is increased in a direction away from the transparent electrode film side. The transparent electrode film is electrically connected via electrode film to a first electrode formed on the second insulating film as it is passed through the first and second insulating films to be exposed on the second insulating film. The metal electrode film is electrically connected to a second electrode passed through the second insulating film to be exposed on the second insulating film. |
