layer 2 whereby luminescence 18 of a given wavelength emits in the interface between the electron transfer layer 2 and the hole transfer layer 4 in the above configuration use may be made of for example porphyrin series compounds and amine series aromatic compounds for the hole transfer layer 4 for the negative electrode i use may be made of a metal or alloy with a lower work function such as al mg al mg alloy mg ag alloy al li alloy and ca fig3 depicts a specific example of the organic el device of the present invention a laminate of individual organic layers hole transfer layer 4 luminescent layer 3 or electron transfer layer 2 is arranged between the negative electrode 1 and the positive electrode 5 by crossing these electrodes in a matrix form to arrange the electrodes in a striped form and applying a time series signal voltage by means of control circuits 30 31 integrating sift registers structurally luminescence emits at the crossed positions therefore the device of such configuration may be used for displays as well as for image regeneration systems by coloring the striped patterns in red r green g and blue b the device may be constructed for full color or multi color systems magnesium chloride hexahydrate mgcl 2 6h 2 o 2 02 g and 2 o hydroxyphenyl benzoxazole abbreviated as 34 b oh 34 hereinafter 6 48 g 3 2 fold moles were heated and melt together in ethanol 50 ml prior to 10 min reflux aqueous ammonia 5 ml was added dropwise.
