Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention provides an organic electroluminescent device, and more particularly to an organic electroluminescent device having a buffer layer provided in a cathode. [Prior Art] In various forms of flat panel displays, organic electroluminescent display (OLED) has many advantageous features, such as self-illuminating source, wide viewing angle, fast response time, rich colors, simple structure, and energy saving. The advantage is that organic electroluminescent display has been widely used in the field of small and medium-sized portable displays. An organic electroluminescent display is formed from a plurality of organic electroluminescent elements comprising an organic electroluminescent material. U.S. Patent No. 6,548,956 discloses an organic electroluminescent device of a double-sided illuminated color display having a vertically stacked layer of material. Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a side cross-sectional view of an organic electroluminescent device according to the conventional U.S. Patent No. 6,548,956. The organic electroluminescent device 1 is formed on a glass substrate 102 having a surface coated with a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) film 1〇4. The film layer 106 comprises a hole conducting compound, and the film layer 108 comprises an electron guiding and a high electrical excitation light material, wherein the film layers 〇6, 1〇8 are composed of an organic material. The film layer 110 is provided to the organic electroluminescent device 1 by using a deposition method, which is formed by a deposition method and is formed of a metal material and contains a thin translucent magnesium (magnesium, Mg)/silver (silver 'Ag) alloy electrode. The top layer 112 is a thick ITO film or a thick indium zinc oxide (ITO) film. Numerals 114 and 116 denote electrode contact ends. The IT0 film 104 is used as an anode, and the top layer 112 and the thin metal layer 110 are used as the cathode of the organic electroluminescent device 100. In order to be able to inject electrons, the work function of the thin metal layer 110 must be compatible with the film layer 108. The energy level of the lowest energy unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the organic material is matched. On the other hand, since the organic electroluminescent device 100 is a double-sided illuminated color display, the top layer 112 and the thin metal layer 110 must be transparent, and therefore the thin metal layer 110 must be very thin, thereby causing poor conductivity. Therefore, the electrical properties of the cathode must be compensated for by the top layer 112 having a transparent conductive material ITO or IZO. However, the transparent top layer 1 丨 2 formed by ITO or IZO or the like is formed on the surface of the magnesium/silver alloy of the thin metal layer 110 by sputtering deposition. Since electrons and ions bombard the underlying material in the sputtering process, it is easy to be damaged. The thin metal layer 110 and the organic materials in the film layers 106, 108. Such damage can result in low luminous efficiency and a reduction in the life of the organic electroluminescent device. Therefore, one of the disadvantages of the above disclosed technique is that the light-emitting efficiency and lifetime of the organic electroluminescent device are lowered. 6

Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a transparent light emitting display (TOLED) 200 disclosed in the Parthasarathy patent. The transparent light emitting display comprises a non-metal cathode 202, an electron injecting interface layer (EIL) 204, an electron transporting layer (ETL) 206, and a hole transporting layer (HTL). 208, • an anode layer 21〇 and a substrate 212. The electron injection bonding layer 204 is formed by depositing a layer of a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) film after depositing the hole transport layer 208 and the electron transport layer 206, and the electron injection bonding layer 204 is then sputtered. Covered by the IKO film formed by the plating method, this IT layer is used as the cathode 202 of the toleD 200. However, the 'cyanate material absorbs light having a wavelength of about 625 nm, thus affecting the light efficiency. In addition, the use of copper bronze near the cathode results in a souther operating voltage. Further, the vapor deposition temperature of the cyanine copper is much higher than that of the general organic material, and since the cyanine copper material is less likely to be cleaned, it is easy to cause contamination of the plating chamber when the cyanine layer is produced. Therefore, the transparent light-emitting display 200 having a cyanine material is not suitable for mass production. From il 4 How to provide organic % excitation light elements with better luminous efficiency and easy mass production is still one of the important topics in the industry. 1304305 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an electronic device including an organic electroluminescent device for displaying an image.
