Abstract

An organic EL device comprises a film form of cathode prepared by a sputtering technique, and formed of an alloy of sodium and/or potassium. This cathode is improved in terms of its adhesion to the interface between the cathode and an organic layer and electron injection efficiency, resulting in light emission property improvements. In addition, this cathode causes less damage to the organic layer, is effective for prevention of occurrence of dark spots, and suffers from little or no degradation of performance.
