  • Patent number: 9007981
    Abstract: Signal distribution, signal switching, and signal collection are performed with a simple configuration. An electronic device comprises a transmission unit (108) for transmitting, as a wireless signal, a signal to be transmitted and a reception unit (208) for receiving the wireless signal transmitted from the transmission unit. In the electronic device, a plurality of pairs of wireless signal transmission points in the transmission unit and wireless signal reception points in the reception unit can be formed. Using the pairs of transmission points and reception points make it possible to execute at least either one of signal distribution in which the same signal to be transmitted from a transmission point is transmitted to the multiple reception points and signal switching in which a signal to be transmitted from a transmission point is selectively transmitted to any of the multiple reception points. The signal to be transmitted is transmitted as a wireless signal.

  • Patent number: 8188500
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting element includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and at least one organic compound layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The organic compound layer includes a light-emitting layer containing a light-emitting material and being configured to emit light toward the first electrode and the second electrode. The light emitted toward the first electrode is reflected from a reflection plane located at the first electrode to cause interference with the light emitted toward the second electrode. The interference provides an interference intensity distribution having a maximum peak at a wavelength ?1. The light-emitting material of the light-emitting layer exhibits a photoluminescence spectrum having a maximum peak at a wavelength ?2. The organic light-emitting element produces an electroluminescence spectrum having a maximum peak at a wavelength ?3. These wavelengths satisfy the relationships: ?2??3 and |?2??3|<|?2??1|.
