Abstract

The present invention aims to provide organic EL elements operating at low voltage to emit light at high intensity. For this aim, each EL element includes an anode, a cathode, a functional layer disposed between the anode and the cathode and including a light-emitting layer composed of organic material, a hole injection layer disposed between the anode and the functional layer, and a bank defining the light-emitting layer. The hole injection layer contains tungsten oxide and exhibits: by UPS measurement, a UPS spectrum having a protrusion appearing near a Fermi surface and within a region corresponding to a binding energy range lower than the top of a valence band; and by XPS measurement, that the tungsten oxide in the hole injection layer satisfies a condition that a ratio in number density of atoms other than tungsten atoms and oxygen atoms to the tungsten atoms is equal to 0.83 or smaller.
