As described above, according to the present invention, by using the end surface of the light-transmitting substrate as the bonding surface, the bonding region for sealing is formed on the surface of the light-transmitting substrate in the direction of the end surface. The need for an adhesive area is eliminated, and the light-emitting portion of the organic LED device can be brought closer to the end face of the light-transmitting substrate, so that a light-emitting device with good reading on the document surface can be obtained.
