  • Patent number: 8866377
    Abstract: An organic light emitting device is provided having an emissive layer with an internal interface. The concentration of a second phosphorescent material in a second organic layer is different from the concentration of a first phosphorescent material in a first organic layer, creating the interface. The materials in the first and second organic layers may be the same or different. In addition to this interface within the emissive layer, the device has one or more features designed to mitigate failure mechanisms which may be associated with electrons or excitons passing from the cathode through the emissive layer to damage organic layers on the anode side of the emissive layer. In addition, devices are provided having an interface within the emissive layer as described above, and a lower energy emissive material on at least one side of the interface.

  • Patent number: 8841843
    Abstract: A short arc type mercury lamp structure has Hg and a rare gas which are enclosed inside a light-emitting tube. Kr is enclosed as the rare gas. It is possible to realize the initial intensity of radiation at the same level as in the case in which Ar is enclosed and prevent a sudden decrease in the intensity of radiation when the lamp is lighted for a long time. The longevity of the lamp is greatly increased than that of a lamp in which Ar is enclosed. The anode satisfies the formula: 1?r/(d0×tan ?)?0.66, where r (mm) is the radius of the leading end surface of the anode, ?(°) is the angle between the electrode axis and the taper surface in the axial cross-section of the anode, and d0 (mm) is the inter-electrode distance.
