Abstract
An organic light-emitting device 10 has the constitution in which an emission region 3 between an anode 2 and a cathode 4 is laminated on a substrate 1. The emission region 3 includes polymer 3A, luminous molecules 3G which are material contributable to emission, and charge transport material 3F.
The luminous molecules 3G and the charge transport material 3F are high in concentration at a side close to the cathode 4 and low in concentration at a side close to the anode 2 in a layer thickness direction of the emission region 3. The organic light-emitting device can be formed by luminous material, or luminous material and charge transport material being penetrated into polymer, or polymer in which charge transport material is dispersed, thus providing highly improved luminous efficiency and at the same time facilitating the patterning.
