The device has organic layers attached on a substrate and comprising a charge carrier transporting layer for electrons or holes made of organic material, and a light emitting layer made of organic material, where a fullerene layer is designed as a laminar electrode or as the charge carrier transporting layer. A metal layer (3b) is attached in direct contact with the fullerene layer, and an injection layer is made of lithium fluoride. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing an electroluminescent light-emitting device.
