Electroluminescent device having holes for liquid filler flow

An electroluminescent device comprising:

• a substrate;
• an electroluminescent element provided on the substrate;
• a counter substrate that is located opposite the substrate;
• a sealing film that seals the electroluminescent element;
• a frame-shaped sealing material that is provided between the substrate and the counter substrate, and that is configured to seal the electroluminescent element along with the substrate and the counter substrate;
• and
• a filling layer that is composed of a liquid filler, and that is filled in a space between the counter substrate, the sealing film, and the frame-shaped sealing material, and
• wherein a support is located inside the sealing material and between the substrate and the counter substrate so as to leave holes through which the filler can flow, and also supports the substrate and the counter substrate.
