Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable obtaining a luminous element hardly subjected to deterioration in a luminous layer and having long lifetime by holding an organic luminous layer in a deoxidized atmosphere. CONSTITUTION:A luminous element 4 is formed in a deoxidized atmosphere or an oxygen adsorption layer is formed near the luminous layer 4. As a result, oxygen reacting with radical generated upon luminescing is no longer existing and the electric charge of the generated radical is efficiently re-coupled to the charge of another radical to be formed as a pair. Consequently, the radical luminesces, while being deactivated to ground state. As a result, the luminous layer does not deteriorate and the life-time thereof is substantially improved.

[Function] According to the above structure of the present invention, a light-emitting layer is formed in an oxygen-free atmosphere or a light-emitting layer is formed near the light-emitting layer. Due to the formation of an oxygen adsorption layer, there is no oxygen to react with the radicals generated during light emission, so the charges of the generated radicals are efficiently recombined with the charges of the paired radicals, and the radicals return to the ground state. It emits light while deactivating. Therefore, the light emitting layer does not deteriorate and its lifespan is greatly improved.
