Abstract

A hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a blue light emitting layer, an orange light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode are formed in this order on an anode. The blue light emitting layer is composed of a host material doped with an assisting dopant and a luminescent dopant emitting blue light. A material used for the hole transport layer is used for the assisting dopant. The orange light emitting layer is composed of a host material doped with a luminescent dopant emitting orange light.
