     Usually, at least one of an anode and a cathode contained in a polymer light emitting device of the present invention is transparent or semi-transparent, and it is preferable that a cathode is transparent or semi-transparent. 
     As the material of the cathode, an electric conductive metal oxide film, semi-transparent metal thin film and the like are mentioned. For example, films (NESA and the like) formed using electric conductive glass composed of indium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, and composite thereof: indium.tin.oxide (ITO), indium.zinc.oxide and the like, gold, platinum, silver, copper and the like are used, and ITO, indium.zinc.oxide, tin oxide are preferable.

     The thickness of a cathode can be appropriately selected in view of electric conductivity and durability, and it is usually 10 nm to 10 μm, preferably 20 nm to 1 μm, further preferably 50 to 500 nm. 
     As the cathode manufacturing method, a vacuum vapor-deposition method, sputtering method, lamination method of thermally press-fitting a metal thin film, and the like are used.

When a space is kept using a spacer, prevention of blemishing of a device is easy. If an inert gas such as nitrogen, argon and the like is filled in this space, oxidation of a cathode can be prevented, further, by placing a drying agent such as barium oxide and the like in this space, it becomes easy to suppress moisture adsorbed in a production process or a trace amount of moisture invaded passing through the hardened resin from imparting damage to the device. It is preferable to adopt one strategy among these methods. 
     The light emitting device of the present invention can be used as a sheet light source, segment display, dot matrix display, back light of a liquid crystal display, and the like. 
     For obtaining light emission in the form of sheet using a polymer light emitting device of the present invention, it may be advantages to place a sheet anode and a sheet cathode so as to overlap. For obtaining light emission in the form of pattern, there are a method in which a mask having a window in the form of pattern is placed on the surface of the above-described sheet light emitting device, a method in which an organic substance layer in non-light emitting parts is formed with extremely large thickness to give substantially no light emission, and a method in which either anode or cathode, or both electrodes are formed in the form pattern. By forming a pattern by any of these methods, and placing several electrodes so that on/off is independently possible, a display of segment type is obtained which can display digits, letters, simple marks and the like. Further, for providing a dot matrix device, it may be permissible that both an anode and a cathode are formed in the form of stripe, and placed so as to cross. By using a method in which several polymer fluorescent bodies showing different emission colors are painted separately or a method in which a color filter or a fluorescence conversion filter is used, partial color display and multi-color display are made possible. In the case of a dot matrix device, passive driving is possible, and active driving may be carried out in combination with TFT and the like. These displays can be used as a display of a computer, television, portable terminal, cellular telephone, car navigation, view finder of video camera, and the like. 
     Further, the above-described sheet light emitting device is of self emitting and thin type, and can be suitably used as a sheet light source for back light of a liquid crystal display, or as a sheet light source for illumination. If a flexible substrate is used, it can also be used as a curved light source or display.

     Example 13 
     On a glass substrate carrying thereon an ITO film with a thickness of 150 nm formed by a sputtering method, a suspension of Baytron P was spin-coated to form a film with a thickness of about 65 nm which was then dried on a hot plate at 200° C. for 10 minutes. The polymer compound 10 was dissolved in xylene (Kanto Chemical Co., Inc., EL grade) at a concentration of 2.0 wt %, and the resultant xylene solution was spin-coated to form a film having a thickness of about 120 nm. This was dried at 130° C. for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere in which the oxygen concentration and water concentration were 10 ppm or less (by weight). After reducing pressure to 1×10 −4  Pa or lower, barium was vapor-deposited with a thickness of about 5 nm, then, aluminum was vapor-deposited with a thickness of about 80 nm, as cathodes. After vapor deposition, sealing was performed using a glass substrate to fabricate a polymer light emitting device K. The device constitution was ITO/BaytronP (about 65 nm)/polymer compound 10 (about 120 nm)/Ba (5 nm)/Al (80 nm). 
     By applying voltage on the polymer light emitting device K, green light emission showing a peak wavelength of 520 nm was obtained. The polymer light emitting device K showed green light emission, and an external quantum yield at 10.0 V of 1.3%.
