Abstract

Provided are an organic EL device and method of fabricating the same. The organic EL device includes a main element portion in which an anode, a hole transport layer, an organic emission layer, a first cathode, and a second cathode are stacked on a transparent insulating substrate, wherein oxygen is contained at an interface between the organic emission layer and the first cathode, so that the throughput for the device fabrication may not be lowered and a high rectification ratio may be obtained.

Claims (7)

1. An organic electro luminescence device, comprising:

an anode;

an organic layer containing at least one organic light emitting layer; a cathode;

a cap used to encapsulate device main components having said anode, said organic layer,

and said cathode which are stacked on an insulating substrate; and

wherein said cathode has a plurality of layers and an oxygen content in a first metallic cathode contained in said plurality of layers being in contact with said organic layer is larger than that in any layer of cathode formed on said first metallic cathode and being not in contact with said organic layer.

2. The organic EL device of claim 1 , wherein a film thickness of said first cathode is 20 nm to 100 nm.
