Abstract: An organic LED is provided that can stably and efficiently emit light as a result of a heat resistant hole drift layer. The organic LED can include, in order, a substrate, a hole injection electrode layer, a hole drift layer, an organic light emitting layer, an electron drift layer and an electron injection electrode layer. The hole drift layer comprises a diamond film with a boron concentration of between about 1.0×1019 and about 1.0×1021/cm3. An optically transparent layer can be formed on the electron injection electrode layer.

Abstract: A carbon substrate is prepared from a molded article of thermosetting resin by heat-treating in an inert atmosphere. The resin is characterized in that the content of Fe, Al, Ni, Co, Cr, and Mg insoluble in the resin is less than 1 ppm each and the content of Ca and Si insoluble in the resin is less than 2 ppm each. The thermosetting resin is further characterized in that the water content is less than 3 wt % and the ratio of the methylene carbon (CH.sub.2) connected to the hydroxyl group (OH) is less than 3% (based on the total carbon number). The carbon substrate prepared in this manner is almost free of defects and voids. It is suitable for use as the substrate of magnetic recording medium. The thermosetting resin may be a powdery or granular one which fluidizes and then cures on heating. A molded article of thermosetting resin is prepared by introducing the resin melt into a mold and curing it with heating under pressure.
