Problems solved by technology

[0012] In the case of providing branch electrodes in the light-emitting element as in JP 2003-524295 A and JP 2000-164930 A, it is effective for reducing the driving voltage and improving the current spreading characteristics, but as long as the area of ​​the branch electrodes becomes Larger, the light from the light-emitting layer is blocked by the branch electrodes, the ratio of absorption increases, and there is a problem that the light output of the light-emitting element decreases.
