Electroluminescence device
First Claim
1. A mobile telephone comprising a display part, the display part having an electroluminescence display device, the electroluminescence display device comprising:
- a first electrode formed over a substrate;
a first electroluminescent film in contact with the first electrode;
a second electrode in contact with the first electroluminescent film;
a second electroluminescent film in contact with the second electrode; and
a transparent third electrode in contact with the second electroluminescent film,wherein an electric current flow direction through the first electroluminescent film is different from an electric current flow direction through the second electroluminescent film.

Abstract
An organic EL element has excellent features as compared with other electroluminescent elements, but on the other hand, has a problem that the life of the element is not sufficiently long. In addition, since the organic EL element is expected to be applied to a mobile display and the like, it is also important to improve power efficiency. Hence, an object of the invention is to provide an element structure to realize an improvement in power efficiency and an improvement in the life of the element at the same. In the construction of an organic EL element of the invention, the first electroluminescent film 303 is sandwiched by the first anode 302 and a cathode 304, and the second electroluminescent film 305 and the second anode 306 are laminated over the cathode 304. At this time, the first anode 302 is put into contact with the second anode 306 to form a parallel circuit to decrease an electric current passing through the respective electroluminescent films.
