Organic electroluminescent element
 Disclosed are organic EL elements having high environmental stability as well as high luminous efficiency and luminance. In an organic EL element comprising a transparent anode, a hole-carrying layer, a light-emitting layer and an alloy cathode consisting of a first metal Li and a stabilizing second metal Al, all laminated on a substrate, the concentration of the first metal Li contained in the alloy region with a predetermined thickness from the interface between the alloy cathode and the organic layer is controlled to a minute amount ranging from 0.005 wt. % to 0.3 wt. %. In another organic EL element comprising a transparent anode, a hole-carrying layer, a light-emitting layer and an alloy cathode consisting of a first metal Sr and a stabilizing second metal Mg, all laminated on a substrate, the concentration of the first metal Sr contained in the alloy region with a predetermined thickness from the interface between the alloy cathode and the organic layer (light-emitting layer or electron-carrying layer) is controlled to a minute amount ranging from 10 wt. % to 40 wt. %.
