  • Patent number: 11635144
    Abstract: A multi-layered metal sheet is disclosed formed of a laminate of a plurality of metal sheets fixed to each other by a clinch formed in a concave shape from one main surface toward another main surface, the clinch has an schematic pillar shape, the clinch being defined by an open top, a pair of cut surfaces which are respectively formed from the open top toward a bottom, a pair of inclined surfaces respectively inclined from the open top toward the bottom, transitional surfaces which connect the cut surfaces and the inclined surfaces to each other, and the bottom having overlapping parts which extend over the main surface of the multi-layered metal sheet on a lower side immediately below the cut surfaces, and lengthwise end portions of a cut formed in each of upper edge portions of the cut surfaces are disposed on upper edge portions of the transitional surfaces.

  • Patent number: 9525009
    Abstract: The objection of invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent element having an excellent current-voltage property. The organic electroluminescent element of the invention comprises an anode, a light emitting layer and a cathode, in this order, wherein a total number of kinds of an electron transport material and a light emitting material contained in the light emitting layer is five or more. Preferably, a total number of kinds of an electron transport material contained in the light emitting layer is four or more, and at least one of an ionization potential and an electron affinity of three kinds or more of the electron transport materials contained in the light emitting layer is different from each other.

  • Patent number: 9028980
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent element which comprises two or more hole injection/transport layers each formed by a wet film formation method using a composition containing, as a hole-injecting/transporting compound, an arylamine polymer compound that has a repeating unit having a triarylamine structure therein, in which when the number of atoms present on the path which is the smallest in the number of atoms present thereon, of the paths which each connect the nonaromatic tertiary nitrogen atoms contained in any two triarylamine structures present in each polymer compound, is taken as N: the minimum number of atoms between nitrogen atoms in the compound, then the N in each hole injection/transport layer is in a specific state.

  • Patent number: 8568183
    Abstract: To provide a process of producing an organic electroluminescence element having a high current efficiency and a long drive life by a wet film formation process. The present invention relates to a process of producing an organic electroluminescence element composition, comprising a filtration step of filtering a solution containing an organic electroluminescence element material and a solvent, wherein the composition is obtained after a time-elapsing step wherein 8 hours or more elapses after the filtration step, and the composition is used for a wet film formation of an organic layer in an organic electroluminescence element.
