  • Patent number: 11926064
    Abstract: A remote control manipulator system includes: a manipulator being controlled by an operator remotely to handle an object; a stereoscopic display device that displays a right-eye image and a left-eye image so as to be stereoscopically viewed; a model image generator that generates a model image being an image of an integrated three-dimensional model viewed from a viewpoint designated by the operator, the integrated three-dimensional model being a three-dimensional model obtained by integrating the manipulator model and a surrounding environment model being generated by performing image processing on the right-eye image and the left-eye image and being a three-dimensional model of the object and a surrounding environment thereof; and a model image display device that displays the model image and is configured to be able to be viewed by the operator switching between the stereoscopic display device and the model image display device through moving the head of the operator.

  • Patent number: 11700734
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescence element including an anode, a light-emitting layer, a functional layer, and a cathode stacked in this order. The light-emitting layer and the functional layer are in contact with each other. Hole mobility of the light-emitting layer is greater than electron mobility of the light-emitting layer. The electron mobility of the light-emitting layer is equal to or greater than an effective electron mobility of the functional layer. A highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of a first functional material included in the light-emitting layer is at least 0.4 eV greater than a HOMO level of a second functional material included in the functional layer.

    Abstract: An organic EL element including an anode, a cathode, and a light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode. The light emitting layer includes a fluorescent material and a host material. A difference between a lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of the fluorescent material and a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of the fluorescent material is less than or equal to a difference between a LUMO level and a HOMO level of the host material. The LUMO level of the fluorescent material is equal to or higher than the LUMO level of the host material. The HOMO level of the fluorescent material is equal to or higher than the HOMO level of the host material, and a difference in energy level between the HOMO level of the fluorescent material and the HOMO level of the host material is 0.3 eV or less.
