ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic electroluminescence device having a front luminescence structure excelling in optical transparency, luminous efficiency, a life characteristic and color coordinates without forming a transparent conductive oxide film on a cathode electrode; and to provide a method of manufacturing the same. SOLUTION: This organic electroluminescence device includes: a substrate 10; first electrodes 12 formed on the substrate 10; organic film layers 16 formed on surfaces facing to interfacial surfaces to the substrate 10 of the first electrodes 12 and including at least an organic light-emitting layer; and second electrodes 18 formed on surfaces facing to interfacial surfaces to the first electrodes 12 of the organic film layers 16. The second electrode 18 is made of an Mg-Ag film having a thickness of 17-20 nm. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
