Organic EL device and method for producing the same

A method for producing an organic EL device that includes an organic light emitting portion, the organic light emitting portion including a first electrode, an organic layer including a light emitting layer, and a second electrode that are stacked in sequence, the method comprising:

• forming, on a first substrate, the first electrode, a first electrode extraction portion electrically connected to the first electrode, and a second electrode extraction portion electrically connected to the second electrode;
• forming an insulating layer along an edge portion of the first electrode;
• forming the organic layer on the first electrode;
• forming the second electrode on the organic layer;
• forming a sealing member on at least one of the first substrate and a second substrate so as to surround the organic light emitting portion and cause the first electrode extraction portion and the second electrode extraction portion to be partly exposed outside the sealing member;
• and
• sealing the organic light emitting portion by laminating the first substrate and the second substrate,
• wherein the insulating layer includes:
• a first insulating portion provided between the first electrode extraction portion and the organic layer;
• and
• a second insulating portion provided between the second electrode extraction portion and the organic layer,
• in the forming of the second electrode, a connecting portion that electrically connects the second electrode and the second electrode extraction portion is further formed on the second insulating portion, and
• in the forming of the insulating layer, the insulating layer is formed such that a distance between the sealing member and the first insulating portion is longer than a distance between the sealing member and the second insulating portion.
