To provide an organic EL device and a method of manufacturing the same,
having light-emitting characteristics enhanced by capturing selectively
mobile metal ions, the organic EL device includes between a first
electrode and a second electrode, a functional layer having at least a
light-emitting layer. A metal ion trapping layer is placed between the
first electrode and the second electrode. The metal ion trapping layer is
formed of a metal ion trapping material with a ring part including a
plurality of Lewis basic elements bonded to at least two carbon atoms.
