ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT, LIGHTING DEVICE AND DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

Provided are: an organic electroluminescent element that has high charge injection/transport performance and a long service life, with little change in driving voltage over time; a manufacturing method; a lighting device; and a display device. An organic EL element according to the present invention comprises a plurality of organic compound layers that include a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer. This organic EL element is characterized in that (1) the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer are each adjacent to the light emitting layer, and the light emitting layer contains a phosphorescent light-emitting organic metal complex compound; (2) the Tg of a hole transport material having the highest constituent ratio among the constituents of the hole transport layer is higher that the Tg of a host material having the highest constituent ration among the constituents of the light emitting layer; and (3) the Tg of an electron transport material having the highest constituents ratio among the constituents of the electron transport layer is higher than the Tg of the host material having the highest constituent ration among the constituents of the light emitting layer.
