  • Patent number: 6993214
    Abstract: The invention provides a light emitting device which can prevent irregular color by reducing film thickness distribution and a display unit using it. A first electrode, an organic layer including a light emitting layer, a second electrode including a semi-transparent electrode are sequentially layered on a driving substrate. The light emitting layer has a red light emitting layer, a green light emitting layer, and a blue light emitting layer. The light emitting layer is formed by transferring a raw solution by every color, and then removing the solvent. An optical distance between a first end of the first electrode and a second end of the second electrode satisfies (2L)/?+?/(2?)=m. ? represents a peak wavelength of a spectrum of a light desired to be extracted, ? represents a phase shift of reflected lights generated in the first end and the second end, and m represents an integer.

  • Publication number: 20050151470
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electroluminescent device capable of forming a layer having a luminous resin, which has been regarded as impossible to be patterned, into a specific pattern while keeping high uniformity and good quality of the layer, selecting the viscosity of an ink material used for forming the layer in a wide range and also selecting a solvent used for preparing the ink material in a wide range, and shortening a time required for fabrication of the device. The electroluminescent device includes a transparent pixel electrode (2), a cathode composed of layers (9), (10), and (13), a hole transport layer (4) and an electron transport emitting layer (5) which are disposed, as layers having a luminous region, between the transparent pixel electrode (2) and the cathode, wherein at least the electron transport emitting layer (5) is formed by transfer of a constituent material of the electron transport emitting layer (5) in accordance with a relief printing reverse offset method.

  • Publication number: 20040202778
    Abstract: In a wet-type coating apparatus, a gravure roll tapered at both end portions thereof is provided. In this case, the tapered portions are located beneath non-pixel-forming areas present on both sides of an effective pixel forming area of a silicone blanket. With this arrangement, a coating liquid is supplied and applied to the surface of the silicone blanket from the lower side thereof while the film width of a contacted liquid portion held between the effective pixel forming area and the surface of the gravure roll is kept uniform along the direction of the rotational axis of the silicone blanket. By this coating method, the nonuniformity of film width of the contacted liquid portion and the like are absorbed by the tapered portions corresponding to the non-pixel-forming areas.
