Abstract
An organic electroluminescent device includes an anode, a cathode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron capture layer, a luminescent layer, and an electron transport layer. The five layers are sequentially stuck in the above order between the anode and the cathode in the direction toward the cathode. The luminescent layer includes a host organic material, the luminescent spectrum of which has a peak between 380 nm and 510 nm, and a guest fluorescent dye. The hole injection layer and the hole transport layer respectively include a host organic material. The lowest energy level in the conduction band of the host organic material of the electron capture layer is lower than those of the hole transport layer and the luminescent layer. Therefore, the device can emit light including blue light component while the host organic material of the hole transport layer is prevented from deteriorating.
