According to one embodiment, an organic EL element has a first electrode on a first substrate, a first carrier transport layer on the first electrode, an emitting layer on the first carrier transport layer, a second carrier transport layer on the emitting layer, a second electrode on the second carrier transport layer, a first heat absorbing layer on the second electrode, the first heat absorbing layer being separated from a center of the second electrode, and a second substrate on the first heat absorbing layer.

Organic EL element and organic EL device

According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing an organic EL device includes providing a structure including a substrate and an electrode positioned above the substrate, and forming an organic layer including a mixture of first and second organic materials above the electrode. The first organic material has a first sublimation point. The second organic material has a second sublimation point higher than the first sublimation point. The formation of the organic layer includes heating an evaporation material including a mixture of the first and second organic materials to an evaporation temperature so as to sublimate the first and second organic materials, and delivering the sublimed first and second organic materials toward the electrode to deposit a mixture including the first and second organic materials above the electrode. The evaporation temperature is, for example, a temperature higher than the second sublimation temperature by 50&#xb0; C. or more.

Organic EL device

An organic EL element includes a pair of electrodes and an emitting layer interposed therebetween. The emitting layer is made of a mixture containing a host material and a dopant material. In the emitting layer, a concentration profile of the dopant material along a thickness direction includes at least two relative maximums or at least two relative minimums.

Organic EL emitting layer having specific concentration profile

Provided is a method of manufacturing a display which includes an insulating substrate and a structure formed on the insulating substrate and including a display element, including forming a patterned layer as a portion of the structure on the insulating substrate by vapor deposition in vacuum using a mask, and cooling the insulating substrate before and/or during formation of the patterned layer by arranging a cooling plate which comprises a metal substrate and an infrared absorption layer covering a main surface of the metal substrate and being larger in infrared absorptance than the metal plate such that the infrared absorption layer faces the insulating substrate.
