Abstract

To realize an organic EL device having an excellent hole injection efficiency, improved luminous efficiency, low operating voltage, and low cost, the invention provides an organic EL device comprising a hole injecting electrode, an electron injecting electrode, and at least one organic layer between the electrodes, at least one of the organic layer having a light emitting function. The device further has a high resistance inorganic hole injecting layer between the hole injecting electrode and the organic layer. The high resistance inorganic hole injecting layer is capable of blocking electrons and has conduction paths for carrying holes.
