Abstract

An organic EL device includes light emitting functional layers as a first layer with a function of emitting light of a first color which are provided between anodes and a cathode, a light emitting functional layer as a second layer with a function of emitting light of a second color, first light emitting elements that include an intermediate layer as a third layer which is provided between the light emitting functional layers and that emits light of the first color, and a second light emitting element that includes the light emitting functional layer that is provided between the anode and the common cathode, wherein the light emitting functional layers and the intermediate layer are formed using a liquid phase process, the light emitting functional layer is formed using a gaseous phase process, and the intermediate layer is composed of an organic material in which an electron injection material is dispersed.

Claims (22)

1. A manufacturing method of an organic EL device, the method comprising:

respectively forming a first hole transport layer on a first anode and a second anode;

forming a first layer that includes a function of emitting light of a first color on the first hole transport layer of the first anode side using a liquid phase process;

forming a third layer composed of an organic material in which an electron injection material is dispersed on the first layer using a liquid phase process;

forming a second layer that includes a function of emitting light of a second color on the third layer and on the first hole transport layer of the second anode side using a maskless gas phase process; and

forming a common cathode on the second layer, wherein

the third layer is formed between the first layer and the second layer.

2. The manufacturing method of the organic EL device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a second hole transport layer between the third layer and the second layer.

3. The manufacturing method of the organic EL device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electron injection material is configured by an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a compound thereof.

4. The manufacturing method of the organic EL device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the organic material is a water-soluble high-molecular compound.

5. The manufacturing method of the organic EL device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the organic material is a water-soluble low-molecular compound.

6. A manufacturing method of an organic EL device, the method comprising:

respectively forming a first hole transport layer on a first anode and a second anode;

forming a first layer that includes a function of emitting light of a first color on the first hole transport layer of the first anode side using a liquid phase process;

forming a third layer composed of an organic material in which an electron injection material is dispersed on the first layer and the first hole transport layer of the second anode side using a liquid phase process;

forming a second layer that includes a function of emitting light of a second color on the third layer using a maskless gas phase process; and

forming a common cathode on the second layer, wherein

the third layer is formed between the first layer and the second layer.
