An organic electroluminescent device comprises an anode, a positive-hole transport layer made of an organic compound, an emitting layer made of an organic compound, an electron transport layer made of an organic compound, an electron-injecting layer and a cathode which are layered in sequence. The electron-injecting layer is made of an alkaline metal compound comprising at least one of Li, Rb, Cs, Na and K including alkaline metal oxides, alkaline metal peroxides, alkaline metal compound oxides, alkaline metal halides, alkaline metal nitride and alkaline metal salt such as Li 2 O, Li 2 O 2 , Rb 2 O, Cs 2 O, Rb 2 O 2 , Cs 2 O 2 , LiAlO 2 , LiBO 2 , LiCl, RbCl, NaCl, KAlO 2 , Na 2 WO 4 , K 2 SiO 3 and Li 2 CO 3 . |
