Abstract
An optical resonator type organic electroluminescent element has a multilayered film mirror 30, a transparent electrode 12, an electron hole transportation layer 14 and a luminescent layer 16 configuring an organic layer, and a metallic electrode mirror 20, formed on a glass substrate 10. The optical resonator type organic electroluminescent element amplifies a specific wavelength (especially, in a range of about 30 nm toward a shorter wavelength side from a luminescence peak wavelength of the organic layer) in luminescence light by a minute optical resonator, which comprises the multilayered film mirror 30 and the metallic electrode mirror 20. It is determined that the minute optical resonator has an optical length L which is twice as long as a resonance wavelength, the organic layer has a thickness of 100 nm or more, and the transparent electrode has a thickness of 50 nm or more or a thickness so to have a sheet resistance of 30 &OHgr;/□ or less. Thus, the transparent electrode can be prevented from generating heat even when a large current is caused to flow into it, and the element characteristics can be reliably prevented from being deteriorated. Moreover, the reliabilit…
