  • Patent number: 9185771
    Abstract: Provided are a light emitting device and an organic EL element driving method wherein a light emission quality can be maintained by a self-repair without degrading the uniformity of light emission. A light emitting device is characterized in that the light emitting device comprises: a plurality of organic EL elements each of which is supplied with a current, thereby emitting a light; a constant current circuit that supplies a current to each of the organic EL elements; a reverse bias voltage circuit that applies a reverse bias voltage to each of the organic EL elements; and a switch circuit that connects the plurality of organic EL elements in series with the constant current circuit during light emission and that connects the plurality of organic EL elements in parallel with the reverse bias voltage circuit during application of the reverse bias voltage.

  • Publication number: 20130022819
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a transfer body, which method neither causes adhesion failure at the interface between a transferring film and a substrate, nor causes interlayer peeling in the transferring film. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a transfer body with high productivity, which method neither causes breakage of a functional pattern forming a transferring layer during peeling of a release film from the transferring film, nor causes any damage to the substrate during separation of an attaching roller and a peeling roller from the substrate.
