  • Publication number: 20050275346
    Abstract: An organic EL display device comprises a supporting substrate; and an organic EL element comprising an organic luminescent medium sandwiched between a lower electrode and an upper electrode thereon. A color changing medium and/or a transparent resin layer are arranged between the supporting substrate and the lower electrode. EL emission is taken out from the lower electrode. Any one of following expressions (5) to (8) is satisfied n5?n6?n8??(5) n5?n7?n8??(6) n5?n6?n7?n8??(7) n5?n7?n6?n8??(8) wherein n5 represents a refractive index of the lower electrode, n6 represents a refractive index of the color changing medium, n7 represents a refractive index of the transparent resin layer, and n8 represents a refractive index of the supporting substrate. In such arrangement, a large quantity of EL emission can be taken to the outside.

  • Patent number: 5341233
    Abstract: A matrix liquid crystal unit having a liquid crystal panel composed of two flexible plastic substrates and a liquid crystal material sandwiched between the flexible plastic substrates, and a flexible circuit sheet with a plurality of liquid crystal driver TAB.multidot.LSI assemblies mounted thereon are electrically connected to each other, making up a liquid crystal unit. Each of the flexible plastic substrates has a group of liquid crystal driver electrodes. Each of the liquid crystal driver TAB.multidot.LSI assemblies has a group of output terminals connected respectively to the liquid crystal driver electrodes through connection lines on the flexible circuit sheet. A connector connected to electrode terminals on the flexible circuit sheet, an interface connector to be connected to electrode terminals of an external control device, and printed wires for electrically connecting the connectors to each other, jointly make up a thin board.
