In an organic electroluminescent element, an organic layer and an electron injecting layer are inhibited from being oxidized, and alleviated in damage caused by the sputtering during manufacture. Thereby, an organic electroluminescent element that takes out light with high efficiency from a cathode of a top side and is capable of displaying a high quality image can be provided. An organic electroluminescent element according to the present invention includes at least a base material 1, an anode 2, an organic electroluminescent layer 3, a conductive protection layer 5 having the optical transparency and a cathode 6 having the optical transparency all of which are formed sequentially on the base material, wherein the conductive protection layer is made of a metal or a metal and a metal oxide thereof. Examples show conductive protection layers made of Sn, In, Zn and Pb respectively. |
