The object of the invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent element which reduces the luminescence starting voltage, increases the luminescence brightness, and has excellent stability with repeated use. n The invention achieves these objects by providing an organic electroluminescent element comprising at least a positive electrode, luminescing layer, and negative electrode, wherein said negative electrode is a compound layer of magnesium and a metal having a higher work function than magnesium, and the exterior surface side of said compound layer has a higher percentage of metal having a high work function. |
