Abstract

A method for producing an organic electroluminescence element, the method including subjecting an anode to a surface treatment using at least one non-oxidizing gas, and forming a p-doped hole-injection layer on a surface of the anode subjected to the surface treatment.

Claims (7)

1. A method for producing an organic electroluminescence element, the method comprising: subjecting an anode to a surface treatment using at least one non-oxidizing gas, and co-depositing a hole-injection material and an electron-accepting dopant to form a p-doped hole-injection layer on a surface of the anode subjected to the surface treatment.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the surface treatment is a plasma treatment using a non-oxidizing gas selected from argon gas, nitrogen gas, hydrogen gas and deuterium gas.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the surface treatment is a plasma treatment using deuterium gas.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the forming the p doped hole-injection layer is forming a p-doped hole-injection layer on the surface of the anode without being exposed to air.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the oxygen content of an anode surface of the anode subjected to the surface treatment is lower than that of an anode inside thereof by 3 atomic % or more.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the forming the p-doped hole-injection layer, a hole-injection layer is doped with an electron-accepting dopant in an amount of 0.01% by mass to 50% by mass with respect to the material of the hole-injection layer.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises: forming a light-emitting layer on the p-doped hole-injection layer.
