Patent number: 8026660Abstract: The present invention provides a white organic light-emitting element high in the emission efficiency. In particular, the invention provides a white organic light-emitting element that has an emission spectrum having peaks in the respective wavelength regions of red color, green color and blue color and is high in the emission efficiency. Since a spectrum region lowest in the emission efficiency is a red region, by introducing a reddish phosphorescent material, a highly efficient white organic light-emitting element is obtained. At this time, in order to inhibit the reddish phosphorescent material from singularly emitting, as shown in FIG. 1, a distance between a second emission region 114 where a reddish phosphorescent material 124 is a luminescent material and a first emission region 113 that exhibits emission in a shorter wavelength side than the second emission region is separated. In a configuration shown in FIG.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroko Yamazaki, Satoshi Seo

Publication number: 20110204353Abstract: A high efficient white emission light emitting element having peak intensity in each wavelength region of red, green, and blue is provided. Specifically, a white emission light emitting element having an emission spectrum that is independent of current density is provided.
