Abstract

To provide a display device including a pixel electrode formed on an insulating surface; an organic layer including a light emitting layer and formed on the pixel electrode; an opposed electrode formed on the organic layer; a first inorganic insulating film formed on the opposed electrode; a first intermediate film formed on the first inorganic insulating film; and a first organic insulating film formed on the first intermediate film. The refractive index of the first intermediate film is less than the refractive index of the first inorganic insulating film and greater than the refractive index of the first organic insulating film.
