  • Publication number: 20090079342
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light-emitting element having a structure in which the drive voltage is comparatively low and a light-emitting element in which the increase in the drive voltage over time is small. Further, the present invention provides a display device in which the drive voltage and the increase in the drive voltage over time are small and which can resist long-term use. A layer in contact with an electrode in a light-emitting element is a layer containing a P-type semiconductor or a hole-generating layer such as an organic compound layer containing a material having electron-accepting properties. The light-emitting layer is sandwiched between the hole-generating layers, and an electron-generating layer is sandwiched between the light-emitting layer and the hole-generating layer on a cathode side.

  • Patent number: 7504049
    Abstract: To provide an electrode for an organic device which can realize a hole injection function and/or an electron injection function from a totally different point of view from metal donor doping. A composite material in which conductive particles of a particulate conductive inorganic compound (the diameter is 1 (nm) to 100 (nm), preferably, 1 (nm) to 20 (nm)) are dispersed in one or plural kinds of organic compounds 101 is layered on a surface of an organic layer 110 of an organic device where an electrode is to be formed to form an electrode for an organic device 100. As to the thus formed electrode, since the densely dispersed conductive particles 102 have large specific surface area, interaction between the conductive particles 102 and the organic compound 101 realizes a function of a donor or an acceptor. Besides, since adhesion with the organic layer 110 is high for the existence of the matrix of the organic compound 101, the electrode is suitable for an organic device.
