Method of manufacturing organic electroluminescent element and white light-emitting organic electroluminescent element

1. A method of manufacturing an organic electroluminescent element in which at least an anode, a light emission layer and a cathode are laminated,

wherein at least one light emission layer comprises two kinds of light-emitting dopants, the method comprising the step of:

conducting a process in which the organic electroluminescent element is subjected to an annealing treatment after forming at least the anode, the at least one light emission layer and the cathode as an element structure, and

wherein the organic electroluminescent element is a white light-emitting organic electroluminescent element.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising the step of:

forming the at least one light emission layer by a coating process.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one light emission layer comprises a host compound, and at least one of the two kinds of light-emitting dopants a compound represented by the following Formula (1):

where R 1 represents a substituent; Z represents a group of non-metal atoms to form a 5-membered ring to 7-membered ring; n 1 represents an integer of 0-5; each of B 1 -B 5 represents a carbon atom, a nitrogen atom, an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; at least one of B 1 -B 5 represents a nitrogen atom; M 1 represents a transition metal selected from groups 8-10 in the element periodic table; each of X 1 and X 2 represents a carbon atom, a nitrogen atom or an oxygen atom; L 1 represents a group of atoms to form a bidentate ligand together with X 1 and X 2 ; m 1 represents an integer of 1-3; and m 2 represents an integer of 0-2, provided that m 1 +m 2 is equal to 2 or 3.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising the step of:

conducting the annealing treatment via current.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising the step of:

conducting the annealing treatment via heat.
