[0016] Figure 1A It is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic EL element according to the present invention. As can be seen from this figure, the organic EL element has a substrate 10, a first electrode 11, an organic compound layer 12, and a second electrode 15. The organic compound layer 12 is placed between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 15 and contains a light-emitting layer. This organic EL element has a "top emission" structure in which light is transmitted through an electrode farther from the substrate 10 than the other electrode, that is, the second electrode 15. The second electrode 15 has a base layer 13 and a metal layer 14 formed on the base layer 13. The base layer 13 is closer to the substrate 10 than the metal layer 14 and is a mixed layer containing lithium (Li), oxygen (O), and magnesium (Mg), while the metal layer 14 contains silver (Ag) and has a thickness in the range of 5.0-20 nm . This configuration is advantageous in the follo...

[0034] Another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. Such as Figure 1B As shown in, this embodiment is represented by a light emitting device. The light-emitting device has several pixels 1 and a mechanism for controlling the intensity of light emitted from the pixels 1, such as TFTs, and the pixels 1 are each provided with an organic EL element according to the present invention.

[0035] The light-emitting device can also be used as a display device. The display device has several pixel units arranged in a matrix, and each pixel unit can be composed of several pixels of different colors, such as red pixels, green pixels, and blue pixels. The red pixel has an organic EL element that emits red light. When the light-emitting device according to the present invention has red pixels, green pixels, and blue pixels, some or all of the pixels 1 included in the light-emitting device may be provided with the organic EL element according to the present...

[0043] First, measure the transmittance in some samples. Each sample was prepared as the second electrode of the organic EL element according to the present invention placed on a substrate, that is, a laminate of a base layer and a metal layer.

[0044] Reference example 1 includes two samples. Both samples are composed of Li stacked on a glass substrate 2 The O-Mg mixed film (base layer) and the silver thin film (metal layer) are composed, but are different from each other in the magnesium content (volume percentage) in the base layer.

[0045] The procedures used to prepare these samples are as follows. First, co-deposit Li on two glass substrates by vapor deposition under the following two sets of conditions for two mixed films of different compositions 2 O and Magnesium: For two mixed membranes, Li 2 Total deposition rate of O and magnesium: For one type, the content of magnesium in the base layer: 10% by volume; for the other type, the content of magnesium in the base layer:...

Abstract

An organic EL element has a substrate, a first electrode, an organic compound layer, and a second electrode. The second electrode has a base layer and a metal layer, and light generated in this organic EL element is transmitted through the second electrode. The base layer is closer to the substrate than the metal layer and is a mixed layer containing lithium, oxygen, and magnesium, whereas the metal layer contains silver and has a thickness in the range of 5.0 to 20 nm, inclusive.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence (EL) element that provides high luminous efficiency despite using a silver thin film as one of its electrodes. The present invention also relates to a light-emitting device having the organic EL element. Background technique [0002] The organic EL element has two electrodes and an organic compound layer sandwiched between the two electrodes. The organic compound layer contains a light-emitting layer, and the light-emitting layer generates light. Then, the light is emitted through any one of the two electrodes (hereinafter also referred to as a light transmitting electrode). Some researchers have proposed to use a film made of silver as a light-transmitting electrode because the silver film is highly conductive and highly transparent to visible light. [0003] However, generally, a silver thin film having a thickness of 20 nm or less is not a continuous film. The discontinuous film has low co...
