In an active matrix type light emitting device, a top surface exit type light emitting device in which an anode formed at an upper portion of an organic compound layer becomes a light exit electrode is provided. In a light emitting element made of a cathode, an organic compound layer and an anode, a protection film is formed in an interface between the anode that is a light exit electrode and the organic compound layer. The protection film formed on the organic compound layer has transmittance in the range of 70 to 100%, and when the anode is deposited by use of the sputtering method, a sputtering damage to the organic compound layer can be inhibited from being inflicted. |
