施例等で詳述する。The difference between these and the present invention is that the compound mixed in the light-emitting layer is only a light-emitting compound, and a non-light-emitting compound (the definition of the non-light-emitting compound used here is more than that of a light-emitting compound). The light emitting property is remarkably inferior and does not emit EL alone and does not contribute to the light emission of the EL element), and it is not a vapor deposition treatment of the mixture.

ていた。In the above-mentioned organic EL device using phosphorescence, it is necessary to inject more carriers into the light emitting layer at a low voltage while maintaining the balance of electrons and holes at a low voltage. However, it has many problems, and it has become an important issue for improving the brightness and efficiency of the initial characteristics.
【００１５】また、上記りん光材料の中には電荷注入性
・輸送性が低く、低電圧で多くの電流を流すことが困難
なものもあった。Further, some of the above phosphorescent materials have a low charge injection property / transport property, and it is difficult to flow a large amount of current at a low voltage.

すことも重要な課題である。On the other hand, in the organic EL element, when a large amount of current is passed in order to increase the light emission brightness, there is a problem in that the speed at which the light emission brightness is reduced is increased and the life is shortened. Therefore, it is an important issue not only to improve the initial characteristics but also to prolong the life of the device.

原因となると考えられている。Further, it is generally known that many organic materials evaporate as an aggregate (cluster) of a plurality of molecules at the time of evaporation, and it is considered that such a cluster causes a decrease in luminous efficiency.
【００１８】さらに、有機材料はたとえば、発光層中で
