Abstract:
An organic EL device having an anode provided on the surface of a transparent substrate, a cathode facing the anode, and an organic substance layer provided between the anode and the cathode and containing a light-emitting layer, characterized in that at least one combination comprising an insulating layer and a moisture reaction layer provided on the insulating layer (insulating layer-moisture reaction layer combination) is provided such that the combination covers an organic EL structure including the organic substance layer, the cathode, and a portion of the anode wherein the moisture reaction layer contains a metal having a Pauling's electronegativity of less than 1.2, and a preliminary moisture reaction layer comprising a water-reactive substance dispersed in a polymer binder is provided over the organic EL structure including the organic substance layer, the cathode, a portion of the anode, and the insulating layer-moisture reaction layer combination, and the preliminary moisture reaction layer is molded by use of a seal-molding agent.
