2. Description of the Related Art With the rapid increase in demand for flat displays replacing conventional cathode ray tubes, various display elements have been vigorously developed and put into practical use. Electroluminescence devices (hereinafter referred to as EL devices) are also suitable for such needs, and as an all-solid-state spontaneous light-emitting device, they are particularly attracting attention due to their high resolution and high visibility that other displays do not have. . At present, what has been put into practical use is an EL element made of an inorganic material using a ZnS / Mn system in the light emitting layer. However, this type of inorganic EL element has a problem that the driving method is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high because the driving voltage required for light emission is as high as 100 V or more. In addition, since the efficiency of blue light emission is low, it is difficult to achieve full color.
On the other hand, thin-film light-emitting devices using organic materials can drastically reduce the driving voltage required for light emission, and have the potential for full colorization by the application of various light-emitting materials. It is becoming active.
