Patent ID: 8664647

Claim:
An organic electroluminescent element, comprising an anode, a cathode, plural light-emitting units that are stacked between the anode and the cathode, each light-emitting unit comprising at least one organic light-emitting layer, and a connection layer sandwiched between the respective light-emitting units, wherein in the connection layer, the following are successively stacked from an anode side: an electron-generating and transporting section comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, rare earth metals, and alloys of these metals, and compounds of these metals, provided that any metal oxide is excluded; a layer comprising a non-semiconductor substance having a resistivity of 1.0×10 2 1.0×10 9 Ω·cm and having a dielectric constant of 2 to 4.5 inclusive; and a hole-generating and transporting section comprising molybdenum oxide.
