Abstract

PURPOSE: To integrate a light emitting body and an ultraviolet-ray emitting element and miniaturize a dislay apparatus by providing a solid element to emit light rays with wavelength shorter than a specified nm and a light emitting body to emit light rays with wavelength longer than the specified nm. CONSTITUTION: An ultraviolet-ray emitting element 1 to emit light rays with a wavelength shorter than, for example, 400nm is installed while being sandwiched between a transparent electrode 2 and an electrode 3. A light emitting body 4 is put above the transparent electrode 2. When an electric field is applied between the transparent electrode 2 and the electrode ultraviolet-rays are emitted through the transparent electrode 2. The emitted ultraviolet-rays are absorbed by the light emitting body 4 set in the radiation direction and the light emitting body 4 emits visible light rays with longer wavelength than ultraviolet-rays. The wave length of emitted light for example the colors of the emitted light rays can be changed by changing the type of the light emitting body 4. For example, in the case a CdMoO4 thin film formed on a quartz glass substrate at the substrate temperature 490 deg.C is used as a light emitting body, incandescent light rays are obtained and the light emission spectrum of the light rays attributed to the closed shell complex ion of the transition metal has a peak around 480nm.
