Abstract

An organic light-emitting element includes a first electrode, an organic compound layer, and a second electrode on a substrate and emits light from the second electrode side, wherein the second electrode includes a first layer and a second layer in contact with the first layer sequentially from the substrate side, the second layer is a layer comprising Ag, and the first layer is a layer comprising Ag and Cs.

Claims (14)

1. An organic light-emitting element comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic compound layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and provided with a light-emitting layer on a substrate, the organic light-emitting element emitting light from the second electrode side,

wherein the second electrode includes a first layer and a second layer in contact with the first layer sequentially from the substrate side,

the second layer is a layer comprising Ag, and

the first layer is a layer comprising Ag and Cs

wherein the atomic ratio of Ag to Cs contained in the first layer is within the range of 1:0.001 to 1:1.2.

2. The organic light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the atomic ratio of Ag to Cs contained in the first layer is within the range of 1:0.025 to 1:1.2.

3. The organic light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the atomic ratio of Ag to Cs contained in the first layer is within the range of 1:0.055 to 1:1.2.

4. The organic light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the atomic ratio of Ag to Cs contained in the first layer is within the range of 1:0.13 to 1:0.51.

5. The organic light-emitting element according to claim 1 , wherein the film thickness of the second layer is 5 nm or more and 25 nm or less.

6. A light-emitting apparatus comprising the organic light-emitting element according to claim 1 and a control circuit to control light emission of the organic light-emitting element.

7. An image forming apparatus comprising the light-emitting apparatus according to claim 6 , a photo conductor to be provided with a latent image by the light-emitting apparatus, and a charging unit to charge the photo conductor.

8. A display apparatus comprising a plurality of organic light-emitting elements to emit different colors and a control circuit to control light emission of the organic light-emitting elements,

wherein the organic light-emitting element is the organic light-emitting element according to claim 1 .

9. An image pickup apparatus comprising the display apparatus according to claim 8 and an image pickup element.
