ABSTRACT:
A light emitting device includes a container cut off from the atmosphere; an electroluminescence element in the container; and a drying agent in the container, wherein the drying agent chemically absorbs moisture, and maintains a solid state after the moisture absorption, and wherein the drying agent is separated from the electroluminescence element via a permeable seal.
