Organic el device

Abstract

Organic EL device comprising: anode and cathode disposed to face each other with gap therebetween; functional layer that contains organic material and is disposed between the anode and the cathode; and hole injection layer that has function to inject holes into the functional layer and is disposed between the anode and the functional layer, wherein the hole injection layer is mixture layer containing first oxide and second oxide. The first oxide is p-type metal oxide, the composition of the second oxide contains element that is thermally stable in both first state where the element has the maximum valence and second state where the element has valence smaller than the maximum valence, the element being more thermally stable in the second state than in the first state. The element contained in the composition of the second oxide in the hole injection layer is in the first state.
