  • the prepared organic EL element results in each of the blue, green, or red light emission via applications of electric voltage to each of the electrodes, whereby it was found that it was possible to employ them in a full-color display device.
  • organic EL elements which were prepared employing Compounds (4), (19), (21), (28), (31), (32), and (40) instead of Compound (1) were employable as a full-color display device.
  • the transparent substrate provided with the above ITO transparent electrode was subjected to ultrasonic cleaning employing isopropyl alcohol, dried in desiccated nitrogen gas, and subjected to UV ozone cleaning over 5 minutes.
  • the resulting substrate was mounted in a commercial spin coater and subjected to spin coating (at a film thickness of about 40 nm) under the conditions of 1,000 rpm and 30 seconds, employing a solution prepared by dissolving 60 mg of PVK in 10 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane, followed by drying under vacuum at 60° C. for one hour, whereby a positive hole transporting layer was prepared.
  • spin coating at a film thickness of about 40 nm was carried out at the conditions of 1,000 rpm and 30 seconds employing a solution prepared by dissolving 60 mg of Compound (1), 3.0 mg of Ir-9, and 3.0 mg of IOr-12 in 6 ml of toluene, followed by drying under vacuum at 60° C. for one hour, whereby a light emitting layer was prepared.
  • spin coating at a film thickness of about 10 nm was carried out at the conditions of 1,000 rpm and 30 seconds employing a solution prepared by dissolving 20 mg of basocuproin (BCP) in 6 ml of cyclohexane, followed by drying under vacuum at 60° C. for one hour, whereby a positive hole inhibition layer was prepared.
  • BCP basocuproin
  • the resulting substrate was fixed onto the substrate holder of a vacuum deposition apparatus.
  • 200 mg of Alq 3 was placed in a molybdenum resistance heating boat, and fitted onto the vacuum deposition apparatus.
  • the above heating boat incorporating Alq 3 was heated via electric current and vapor deposition was applied onto the above positive hole inhibition layer at a deposition rate of 0.1 nm/second, whereby a 40 nm thick electron transporting layer was provided.
