A top-emission type organic EL panel has a substrate carrying thin film transistors formed thereon, a plurality of organic EL devices formed on the substrate, each of the organic EL devices including a reflecting electrode, organic compound layers and a transparent electrode arranged in this order from the substrate side, a device separation layer formed in a space separating adjacently located organic EL devices, a protective layer covering the organic EL devices and the device separation layer and a light-shielding layer formed on the protective layer in a display region other than light emitting sections of the organic EL devices so as to be held in contact with the protective layer and cover at least part of lateral surfaces of the device separation layer.
