Abstract
An electroluminescence device has at least three kinds of laminated bodies, in each of which an emission region is independently present in each of a hole transfer layer and an electron transfer layer. The laminated bodies include the hole transfer layers, which each have a layer including a common material. The electron transfer layers each include a layer having a common material. The electroluminescence device emits at least three colors of light. A process for producing an electroluminescence device is also provided.
