Abstract

An organic electroluminescence device having an anode structure on the lower surface which is effective for taking out light efficiently from the cathode on the upper surface in which the organic electroluminescence device comprises an anode, a cathode and an organic layer put between both of them. The organic layer contains an organic light emitting layer that emits light by re-combination of holes supplied from the cathode A and electrons supplied from the cathode. The cathode comprises a laminate structure of an electron injecting metal layer, and a transparent conductive layer ultra thin film which is basically light permeable. The anode contains a metal belonging to the group V or group VI of the periodical table to at least a portion in contact with the organic layer and is basically light reflective. The anode metal is selected from chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum and niobium. The anode metal has a work function of 4.8 eV or lower.
