- the metal forming the conductive member 2 is silver, copper, gold, aluminum, calcium, tungsten, magnesium, rhodium, iridium, sodium, molybdenum, ruthenium, zinc, cobalt, cadmium, nickel,
- the structure uses osmium, lithium, indium, and iron. Accordingly, the conductive member 2 can be formed from an inexpensive and versatile material.
- a metal is used as a material for forming the conductive member 2, but a material other than a metal may be used. That is, the material has higher thermal conductivity than the substrate 3 and higher electrical conductivity than the substrate 3, has a thermal conductivity of 80 W / m ⁇ K or more, and an electrical conductivity of 8 ⁇ 10 6 / m ⁇ . Any material may be used as long as it is the above material.
- the conductive member 2 may be formed of a conductive resin.
- the present invention is particularly useful for an organic EL element for forming a second electrode by a vacuum deposition method and a method for manufacturing the same.
