Patent number: 11925046Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting device including an organic light-emitting element and a control unit that controls the organic light-emitting element. The organic light-emitting element includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer which is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and in which separation of charges occurs due to incidence of excited light. The control unit changes a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode so that recoupling of the charges occurs, in a second period after passage of a delay period from a first period in which the excited light is incident to the organic light-emitting layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignees: KYUSHU UNIVERSITY, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION, HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Chihaya Adachi, Hajime Nakanotani, Takahiko Yamanaka, Shigeo Hara, Toru Hirohata
