Abstract: Provided is an optical element substrate with which it is possible to increase the efficiency of use of light energy. An uneven structure on one substrate surface for an optical element is provided with a plurality of projections. The contour shape of the projections has an arc shape in plan view facing the one surface. The contour shape is formed by a first arc section and second arc section having different center points. The first arc section and second arc section bulge in mutually opposite directions.

Abstract: An organic light emitting diode, which is a top emission-type, is configured so that at least the following are laminated on the substrate: a reflective layer including a metal material; an anode conductive layer including a transparent conductive material; an organic EL layer having a light emitting layer which contains an organic light emitting material; and a cathode conductive layer in which a semi-transmissive metal layer and a transparent conductive layer including a transparent conductive material are laminated. On the surface of the semi-transmissive metal layer that is in contact with the transparent conducive layer side, a two-dimensional lattice structure is formed in which a plurality of protrusions are arranged periodically and two-dimensionally.
