Provided is an organic electroluminescent element, preventing light deterioration and reducing initial driving voltage, and to provide its manufacturing method. An organic EL element 100 comprises a hole injection electrode (positive electrode) 2 made of a transparent electrode membrane and provided on a glass substrate 1. On the hole injection electrode 2, a first hole injection layer 3a made ofCuPc, a second hole injection layer 3b made of CFx, and a hole transport layer 4 made of an organic material, and a light emitting layer 5 are formed sequentially in this order. On the light emittinglayer 5, an electron injection electrode (negative electrode) 6 is formed. Because the first hole injection layer 3a made of CuPc absorbs ultraviolet light, the deterioration of the organic EL elementdue to ultraviolet light can be prevented. Because the second hole injection layer 3b made of CFx facilitates hole injection, the initial driving voltage can be reduced.
