Abstract
An organic EL element includes an anode, a light emitting layer, a functional layer, a cathode, and a low refractive index layer. The light emitting layer is disposed above the anode. The functional layer is disposed on and in contact with the light emitting layer and includes a first metal. The cathode is disposed on and in contact with the functional layer and is made of a light transmissive metal oxide. The low refractive index layer is disposed on and in contact with the cathode. Refractive index of the low refractive index layer is smaller than refractive index of the cathode, film thickness of the functional layer is from 15 nm to 35 nm, and a distance between an anode-side surface of the light emitting layer and an interface between the cathode and the low refractive index layer is 110 nm or greater.
