Abstract: An electron transporting layer is a cured layer including carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms and oxygen atoms. When ratios of the number of carbon atoms, ratios of the number of nitrogen atoms, and ratios of the number of oxygen atoms are analyzed at 10 points by an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA), the respective standard deviations, ?(C), ?(N) and ?(O), of the ratios of the number of carbon atoms, the ratios of the number of nitrogen atoms and the ratios of the number of oxygen atoms satisfy the following expressions (1) to (3): ?(C)?1.5??(1), ?(N)?1.5??(2), and ?(O)?1.5??(3).

Abstract: An optical transceiver includes a transmitter that transmits an optical signal, and a receiver that receives a reference signal. The receiver receives the optical signal transmitted by its own transmitter. A controller performs an adjustment of the optical signal, transmitted by the transmitter, based on the reference signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is an optical communication device, including: a light source that outputs an optical signal; a modulation unit that modulates transmission data and inputs it to the light source; a storage unit that holds a set value of the light source or the modulation unit; a power consumption adjustment unit that, according to an instruction, acquires the set value from the storage unit, optimizes power consumption within a predetermined range of transmission characteristics, and determines a set value; and a control unit, being provided the determined set value, that controls power consumption of at least one of the light source and the modulation unit based on the provided set value.
