  • Publication number: 20120292652
    Abstract: The surface light emitting device includes an organic EL element, a protection substrate, a protection part, and a light extraction structure part. The element has a first face and a second face opposite to the first face, and emits light from the first face. The substrate has transparency for light emitted from the element, and is placed facing the first face, and has a primary surface facing the first face of the element. The protection part is placed facing the second face of the element, and constitutes a housing in combination with the substrate and accommodates the element so as to protect the element from water. The structure part is interposed between the first face of the element and the substrate, and suppresses reflection of light emitted from the element on at least one of the first face of the element and the primary surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20120049170
    Abstract: The light emitting device includes an organic electroluminescent element (20) and a diffractive optical element (30). The organic electroluminescent element (20) includes an anode layer (21), a cathode layer (22), and plural light emitting layers (231 and 232) interposed between the anode layer (21) and the cathode layer (22) and configured to emit light rays with different wavelengths. The diffractive optical element (30) is positioned in paths of light rays emitted from the organic electroluminescent element (20). The diffractive optical element (30) is designed to have different grating patterns (311 and 312) diffracting the light rays respectively emitted from the light emitting layers (231 and 232) for reducing chromatic aberration.

  • Publication number: 20110297989
    Abstract: The light emitting device comprises a mounting substrate and an LED chip which comprises an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, a nitride light emission layer on the n-type nitride semiconductor layer, p-type nitride semiconductor layer on the nitride light emission layer, an anode electrode opposite of the nitride light emission layer from the p-type nitride semiconductor layer, and a cathode electrode on the n-type nitride semiconductor layer. The mounting substrate has a patterned conductor which is connected to the cathode electrode through a bump and also connected to the anode electrode through a bump. The LED chip further comprises one or more dielectric layer between the p-type nitride semiconductor layer and the anode electrode to have an arrangement which resembles an island. The p-type nitride semiconductor layer has a first region which is overlapped with the bump. The dielectric layer is not formed within the first region.

  • Patent number: 8049233
    Abstract: A light-emitting device of the present invention includes: a semiconductor layer 1 including a light-emitting layer 12; a recess/projection portion 14 including recesses and projections formed in a pitch larger than a wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting layer 12, the recess/projection portion 14 being formed in a whole area or a partial area of the surface of the semiconductor layer which light is emitted from; and a reflective layer formed on an opposite surface of the semiconductor layer to the surface from which light is emitted, the reflective layer having a reflectance of 90% or more. According to the light-emitting device having such arrangement, the light can be emitted efficiently by synergetic effect of the reflective layer and the recess/projection portion.
