- 5. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 wherein said hole injecting and/or transporting layer is further doped with a rubrene as a dopant.
- 6. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 wherein a color filter and/or a fluorescence conversion filter is disposed on a light output side so that light is emitted through the color filter and/or fluorescence conversion filter.
- 7. An organic electroluminescent device comprising at least two light emitting layers including a bipolar light emitting layer, a hole injecting and/or transporting layer disposed nearer to an anode than said light emitting layer, and an electron injecting and/or transporting layer disposed nearer to a cathode than said light emitting layer,said at least two light emitting layers being a combination of bipolar light emitting layers or a combination of a bipolar light emitting layer with a hole transporting/light emitting layer disposed nearer to the anode than the bipolar light emitting layer and/or an electron transporting/light emitting layer disposed nearer to the cathode than the bipolar light emitting layer.
- 8. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 7 wherein said bipolar light emitting layer is a mix layer containing a hole injecting and transporting compound and an electron injecting and transporting compound.
- 9. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 8 wherein all said at least two light emitting layers are mix layers as defined above.
- 10. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 7 wherein at least one of said at least two light emitting layers is doped with a dopant.
- 11. The organic electroluminescent device claim 7 wherein all said at least two light emitting layers are doped with dopants.
- 12. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 7 wherein said at least two light emitting layers have different luminescent characteristics, a light emitting layer having an emission maximum wavelength on a longer wavelength side is disposed near the anode.
- 13. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 10 wherein said dopant is a compound having a naphthacene skeleton.
