To provide an organic electroluminescent device that has a uniform brightness distribution and inhibits parasitic capacitance occurring between switching elements, such as thin-film transistors, and a cathode to achieve good display characteristics, a method for producing the organic electroluminescent device, and an electronic appliance. An organic electroluminescent device includes a substrate, scanning lines formed on the substrate, signal lines formed on the substrate, switching elements formed near the intersections of the scanning lines and the signal lines, light-emitting functional layers that emit light according to the operation of the switching elements, a first insulating layer formed between the light-emitting functional layers, a second insulating layer formed between the light-emitting functional layers, and a lyophobic thin film covering the first and second insulating layers. The second insulating layer is not in contact with the light-emitting functional layers. The position of the second insulating layer at least corresponds to the positions of the scanning lines, the signal lines, and the switching elements. |
