Organic EL element

An organic EL element comprising:

• a lamination body comprising a pair of electrodes opposed to each other and an organic luminescent material layer, which comprises an organic compound and is interposed between said pair of electrodes, for emitting a light from said organic luminescent material layer by supplying electrons and holes to said organic luminescent material layer from said pair of electrodes;
• an airtight container for airtightly containing said lamination body to isolate said lamination body from an external atmosphere thereof;
• and
• a drying substance airtightly contained in said airtight container and spaced from said lamination body in an internal space of said airtight container, for absorbing moisture in the internal space, said drying substance comprising a solid compound which is packed in an air-permeable bag, is fixed at the air-permeable bag on an internal surface of said airtight container, chemically absorbs the moisture and maintains its solid state even after absorbing the moisture.
