An EL device includes a substrate having a square shape, an element-forming region provided on an upper surface of the substrate and having organic light-emitting elements, a protruding section arranged in a region between the element-forming region and an end portion of the substrate, and a protection film deposited in a region extending from the element-forming region to the end portion of the substrate and disposed so as to cover the protruding section. The protruding section is disposed in a substantially strip-like shape along at least two of four sides of the substrate.
