A method of manufacturing an organic electroluminescent (EL) device which includes a substrate, a first electrode and a second electrode disposed onto the substrate, and an organic material layer containing an organic luminescent layer sandwiched between the first electrode and the second electrode, the method comprising:
- a step for forming a film onto the substrate with at least one kind of film forming material which functions as the electrodes or the organic material layer, wherein
- the step of forming the film is performed within a vacuum film forming chamber which includes the substrate and a rectifier of a film forming source therein,
- the rectifier contains at least one nozzle, an aspect ratio (length of nozzle/internal diameter of nozzle) of which is set to one or more, and
- the nozzle are provided with fine openings therein.
