Abstract

[Problem] The present invention aims to provide an electroluminescence device with an improved intermediate layer, for achieving a superior durability and sustainability performance thereof. [Solution] The present invention refers to organic electroluminescence devices having a plurality of light emitting layersbetween an anodeand a cathodewith the intermediate layerbeing interposed between two of the light emitting layers. The intermediate layercomprises one layerselected from a group consisting of a charge transfer complex layer made of a charge transfer complex, a metal layer made of a metal having a work function of 3.7 eV or less, and a metal compound layer made of a compound of the metal; an electrically conductive material-containing light transmissive layer; a charge transport organic material layerformed of a charge transport organic material; and a hole injection material layerformed of a hole injection material, which are superimposed in this order. The charge transport material layeris formed to have a thickness in a range of 0.5 nm to 30 nm.
