Abstract

An organic ELECTROLUMINESCENCE device exhibiting a minimal change in the color purity (CIE chromaticity coordinates) even if there is some fluctuation in the optical path length, and a method of manufacturing such an organic EL device are provided.The organic EL device contains an organic layer formed between electrodes at least one of which is a transparent electrode, wherein the total optical path length (t) of the transparent electrode and the organic layer satisfies the following inequality (a) or inequality (b) or both:Min&#8722;20 nm<t<Min+20 nm&#8195;&#8195;(a)Max&#8722;20 nm<t<Max+20 nm&#8195;&#8195;(b)wherein t is the total optical path length (nm), Min is the optical path length (nm) at which the CIEx chromaticity coordinates or CIEy chromaticity coordinates measured according to JIS Z 8701 exhibits a minimum value, and Max is the optical path length (nm) at which the CIEx chromaticity coordinates or CIEy chromaticity coordinates measured according to JIS Z 8701 exhibit a maximum value.
