  • Patent number: 8847219
    Abstract: A color conversion film that absorbs light from an organic electroluminescent part emitting blue-green light and converts the light to visible light at a longer wavelength. The color conversion film includes two different dyes. A first dye is a polymer dye with an average molecular weight of 1000 to 1,000,000 that absorbs light incident on the color conversion film and transfers the energy of the light to a second dye. The second dye is a dye that receives the energy from the first dye and emits light. With a multicolor-emitting, organic electroluminescent device including the color conversion film, it is possible to achieve excellent conversion efficiency without increasing the thickness of the color conversion film as in a conventional device using a binder resin. Such an organic electroluminescent device may include as well a pair of electrodes at least one of which is a transparent electrode, and an organic electroluminescent layer sandwiched between the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 8785007
    Abstract: The present invention provides green and red conversion films capable of keeping a sufficient intensity of converted light over a long period, and a multicolor emission organic EL device which exhibits light-emitting properties stably over a long period. The present invention includes a pendant-type polymeric compound characterized in that the pendant-type polymeric compound contains at least one repeating unit represented by a general formula (1) and at least one repeating unit represented by a general formula (2), (6) or (7), wherein n/(m+n)=1/100 to 100/100 provided that the molar ratio of (1):(2), (6) or (7) is m:n.

  • Patent number: 8771030
    Abstract: This invention provides a method capable of fabricating, by simple manufacturing processes, a color conversion layer which realizes high-efficiency color conversion characteristics without greatly increasing the film thickness of the color conversion layer. Further, this invention provides a color conversion layer manufactured by this method, and an organic EL element which includes this color conversion layer. By means of a method in which a polymer material having a weight-average molecular weight in a specific range is brought into contact with a color conversion material layer, and the polymer material is caused to intrude into the color conversion layer by a diffusion phenomenon, concentration quenching in the color conversion layer can be suppressed, and the fluorescence quantum yield can be increased.
