  • Patent number: 8952385
    Abstract: A light emitting device is provided which can prevent a change in gate voltage due to leakage or other causes and at the same time can prevent the aperture ratio from lowering. A capacitor storage is formed from a connection wiring line, an insulating film, and a capacitance wiring line. The connection wiring line is formed over a gate electrode and an active layer of a TFT of a pixel, and is connected to the active layer. The insulating film is formed on the connection wiring line. The capacitance wiring line is formed on the insulating film. This structure enables the capacitor storage to overlap the TFT, thereby increasing the capacity of the capacitor storage while keeping the aperture ratio from lowering. Accordingly, a change in gate voltage due to leakage or other causes can be avoided to prevent a change in luminance of an OLED and flickering of screen in analog driving.

  • Patent number: 8946681
    Abstract: An organic EL device includes an organic EL emitter that emits blue light and a blue color filter through which the light emitted from the organic EL emitter passes. The blue color filter contains a coloring material selected from the group consisting of a methine dye, a copper-phthalocyanine pigment, and a mixture of a copper-phthalocyanine pigment and a dioxazine pigment. The chromaticity of the light, the light that has passed through the blue color filter after emitted from the organic EL emitter, is in the range defined by lines connecting three chromaticity coordinates (0.140, 0.080), (0.136, 0.040), and (0.118, 0.070) on the CIE chromaticity diagram.
