Abstract

The present invention is an organic EL device in which an anode, a hole injection layer, a first carrier transportation layer, a first luminescent layer, a second carrier transportation layer, a second luminescent layer, an electron transportation layer, and a cathode are formed on a glass substrate in order, wherein layers with a smaller electron affinity Ea and a larger energy gap Eg than those of the first and second luminescent layers are employed for the first and second carrier transportation layers, so as to enhance the emission efficiency of the first and second luminescent layers.

Claims (8)

1. An organic electroluminescence device with a plurality of luminescent layers formed between an anode and a cathode that oppose each other and corresponding carrier transportation layers formed so as to contact each luminescent layer on the anode side, wherein

a relationship of an electron affinity Ea EML of each luminescent layer and an electron affinity Ea OL1 of the corresponding carrier transportation layer is Ea EML >Ea OL1 ,

and a relationship of an ionization potential IP EML of each luminescent layer and an ionization potential Ip OL1 of the corresponding carrier transportation layer is IP EML >IP OL1 .

2. The organic electroluminescence device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein αNPD is employed as a material of each carrier transportation layer.

3. The organic electroluminescence device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a relationship of an energy gap Eg EML of each luminescent layer and an energy gap Eg OL1 of the corresponding carrier transportation layer is Eg EML <Eg OL1 .

4. An organic electroluminescence display with an organic electroluminescence device having a plurality of luminescent layers formed between an anode and a cathode that oppose each other and corresponding carrier transportation layers formed so as to contact each luminescent layer on the anode side, wherein

a relationship of an electron affinity Ea EML of each luminescent layer and an electron affinity Ea OL1 of the corresponding carrier transportation layer is Ea EML >Ea OL1 ,

and a relationship of an ionization potential IP EML of each luminescent layer and an ionization potential IP OL1 of the corresponding carrier transportation layer is IP EML >IP OL1 .
