Abstract
In an organic EL element equipped with an anode, a cathode, a luminescent layer, and an electron transport layer, the cathode includes a reflecting electrode. The electron transport layer includes a doped electron transport layer to which an n-type dopant material is added and a non-doped electron transport layer to which an n-type dopant material is not added. A first reflection surface that reflects light from the luminescent layer is provided at an interface between the doped electron transport layer and the non-doped electron transport layer.
