Abstract
An organic electroluminescent (EL) device including at least one luminescent layer, constituted from an organic compound, between a cathode electrode and an anode electrode, the EL device further comprising an organic layer adjacent to the cathode electrode, in which the organic layer is constituted from a mixed layer of an electron-transporting organic compound and an organic metal complex compound containing at least one of alkali metal ions, alkali earth metal ions and rare earth metal ions, and the cathode electrode is constituted from a metal capable of reducing the metal ion(s) in the complex compound, in a vacuum, to the corresponding metal.
