  • Patent number: 9184404
    Abstract: A white light-emitting organic electroluminescent element includes at least four kinds of light-emitting dopants with different emission peak wavelengths which are present between a cathode and an anode. The four kinds of light-emitting dopants include a light-emitting dopant “A”, a light-emitting dopant “B”, a light-emitting dopant “C”, and a light-emitting dopant “D” having their own peak wavelengths which are longer in this order. The white light-emitting organic electroluminescent element has an emission spectrum which satisfies relations of: (first average luminance for an angle in a range of 50° to 70°/first front luminance)>(second average luminance for an angle in a range of 50° to 70°/second front luminance); and (third average luminance for an angle in a range of 50° to 70°/third front luminance)>(fourth average luminance for an angle in a range of 50° to 70°/fourth front luminance).

  • Patent number: 9112181
    Abstract: A composite substrate includes a moisture-proof substrate, and a resin substrate pasted on a surface of the moisture-proof substrate. The resin substrate is formed to be smaller than the moisture-proof substrate in planar view. An end side of the resin substrate is an inclined face that is inclined inward. In an organic electroluminescence device, an organic light-emitting multilayer provided on a surface of the resin substrate is sealed with a sealing member. A moisture-proof film coats at least part of the surface of the resin substrate in which no lead-out electrode is formed.

  • Patent number: 9076981
    Abstract: Planar light emitting device includes: anode and cathode feeding parts formed on first surface side of transparent substrate and electrically connected to quadrilateral planar anode and cathode, respectively; quadrilateral frame shaped anode auxiliary electrode formed at the whole circumference of surface of the planar anode; anode feeding auxiliary electrode integrally and continuously formed to the auxiliary electrode and laminated on anode feeding part. Two distances between predetermined two parallel sides of four sides of a light emitting part and outer circumferential edges of the transparent substrate on sides adjacent to the two parallel sides, respectively are smaller than two distances between the other two parallel sides and the outer circumferential edges of the transparent substrate on sides adjacent to the other two parallel sides, respectively.
