ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

Disclosed is an organic electroluminescent device wherein a short circuit between electrodes hardly occurs. The organic electroluminescent device comprises a first and second electrode layer arranged opposite to each other and an organic functional layer interposed between the first and second electrode layers and containing an organic compound. The organic functional layer includes a hole injection layer which is arranged in contact with the first electrode layer, and the hole injection layer is soluble in an organic solvent and contains a thermally decomposable low-molecular-weight compound having hole injection properties. The low-molecular-weight compound may be a phthalocyanine derivative.
