Abstract: The present invention provides an organic electroluminescence light emitting device capable of preventing a color (hue) of light and a luminous efficiency from being varied depending on a concentration of a luminous material contained in a light emission layer and an operational condition such as an applied voltage, thereby exhibiting a high luminance, a high performance, and a stable, reliability. The light emitting device includes an anode (6), a hole transport layer (2), a light emission layer (3), an electron transport layer (4), or includes an anode (6), a hole transport layer (2), and a light emission layer (4) serving as an electron transport layer. A light emission region is formed by a mixed layer made from a luminescent material and a charge injection accelerating material.
