Abstract
A light-emitting element of the present invention includes (i) a light-emitting layer (109), (ii) an electrode layer (110) being transparent to part of light emitted from the light-emitting layer (109), (iii) color converting layers (113, 114), and (iv) a transparent layer (115). The color converting layers (113, 114) and the transparent layer (115) sandwich the transparent electrode layer (110) with the light-emitting layer (109). The color converting layers (113, 114) and the transparent electrode layer (115) contain particles (116, 117, 118) expressing a surface plasmon phenomenon, respectively.
