Abstract

To provide an organic electroluminescence element including a structure that facilitates manufacturing of a large scale organic EL panel and a manufacturing method thereof, the organic electroluminescence element includes: an anode; a cathode; an organic luminescent layer located between the anode and the cathode; and a hole injection layer located between the anode and the organic luminescent layer. The hole injection layer comprises a mixture of molybdenum oxide and tungsten oxide that contains a molybdenum element in a range of 9 atomic percent to 35 atomic percent.

Claims (24)

1. An organic electroluminescence element, comprising:

an anode;

a cathode;

an organic luminescent layer located between the anode and the cathode; and

a hole injection layer located between the anode and the organic luminescent layer, the hole injection layer including a mixture of molybdenum oxide and tungsten oxide that contains a molybdenum element in a range of approximately 9 atomic percent to approximately 35 atomic percent.

2. The organic electroluminescence element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mixture contains the molybdenum element in a range of approximately 9 atomic percent to approximately 12 atomic percent.

3. The organic electroluminescence element according to claim 1 ,

wherein a surface roughness Rmax of the hole injection layer is in a range of approximately 10 nm to approximately 20 nm.

4. The organic electroluminescence element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the organic luminescent layer comprises a polymer organic material.

5. The organic electroluminescence element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hole injection layer is formed by a sputtering film forming method.

6. The organic electroluminescence element according to claim 5 ,

wherein the hole injection layer is formed by the sputtering film forming method using a sputtering target containing molybdenum and tungsten in an atomic ratio in a range of approximately 65:35 to approximately 20:80.

7. The organic electroluminescence element according to claim 5 ,

wherein the anode is formed by the sputtering film forming method.

8. The organic electroluminescence element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the anode, the organic luminescent layer, and the cathode are stacked on a substrate in order,

the anode contains at least one of Ag and Al, and

the cathode is transparent.

9. A display panel apparatus, comprising the organic electroluminescence element according to claim 1 .

10. A display apparatus, comprising the display panel apparatus according to claim 9 .

11. An electroluminescence illumination source, comprising the organic electroluminescence element according to claim 1 .
