Abstract: In an organic EL device 1, when a voltage is applied across an anode 3 and a cathode 5, holes are moved in a hole transport layer 41 and electrons are moved in an electron transport layer 43, and the holes and the electrons are recombined in a light emitting layer 42 to emit light. A light emitting material is used to form the light emitting layer 42. When the light emitting layer 42 is formed using the light emitting material, the light emitting layer contains one or more kinds of metallic impurities, but an amount of a metallic impurity of which content is the largest among the metallic impurities contained in the layer is 2.5 ppm or less, or when the light emitting material is dissolved in a liquid so that the concentration thereof becomes 2.0 wt %, the liquid contains one or more kinds of metallic impurities, but an amount of the metallic impurity of which content is the largest among the metallic impurities contained in the liquid is 50 ppb or less.

Abstract: A dispersion medium, for dispersing electrophoretic particles in an electrophoretic display device, contains an organic compound having two or more rings in its structural formula, where the organic compound comprises at least about 30% by weight of the dispersion medium. The thus constituted dispersion medium improves the reliability and response of the electrophoretic device. The organic compound comprises one or more of the materials defined by the structural formulae (1) to (4), wherein each of A1 to A6, C1, and C2 are ring compounds.
