To provide a light emitting element having a top emission structure, which
can be easily manufactured without considering an ionization potential of
an electrode (particularly an electrode in contact with a substrate) and a
manufacturing method therefor. A light emitting device having the top
emission structure according to the present invention includes: a first
electrode (101) formed of general-purpose metal (specifically, a wiring
material such as Ti or Al) having a light-shielding property or
reflectivity; a conductive polymer layer (102) formed by applying a
conductive polymer material onto the first electrode (101); an
electroluminescence film (103) formed in contact with the conductive
polymer layer (102); and a light-transmissive second electrode (104)
formed on the electroluminescence film 103, in which the conductive
polymer layer (102) is formed of materials including a redox polymer etc.,
while being free of problems regarding work function (as shown in FIG.
1A).
