Abstract

The present invention relates to an electroluminescent element formed by placing a luminescing substance between an anode and a cathode, such that when electrical energy is applied to the element, light is emitted having a peak wavelength of at least 580 nm. The luminescing substance comprises a fluorescent compound have a fluorescent maximum at about 540 nm or above and a compound having a pyrromethene structure (I) or metal complexes thereof.
