Description of the invention (2) I ------- billion US dollars, the estimated market in 2005 Will the output value be reached? · Η billion US This we can know the future organic electro-optical excitation light elements;:, increase at a rate of doubled a year. The light-emitting principle of the predatory organic electro-excitation light-emitting element is similar to that of the light-emitting diode. In the same way, the characteristics of the material are used to combine the electron holes in the layer structure and the electrons are excited. Fall back to the ground state, and release the excess two energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, thus achieving the generation of light-emitting elements with different wavelengths. The basic structure diagram is shown in Figure 1. The organic electro-excitation light-emitting element (EL) achieves the function of emitting light by injecting electrons and holes between the two electrodes and using the excitation of organic molecules. The anode 12 is an ITO conductive glass film, which is attached to a glass or transparent plastic substrate 11 by sputtering or evaporation. The cathode 17 contains magnesium (Mg), aluminum (A1), and lining (L i ) And other metals. Between the two electrodes is a light-emitting region formed by a plurality of organic thin films' including a hole injection layer 13 (Hole Injection Uyer; HIL), a hole transport layer 14 (HTL), and a light-emitting layer 1 5 (Emitting Layer) and Electron Transport Layer (ETL) 16 (ETL), in actual mass production, considering different needs, sometimes also include other different films. However, in the application of the electro-active light-emitting element, because the cathode is a metal, the display panel may have a cathodic reflection interference in a bright environment such as outdoors. The general solution is to use a non-reflective cathode (black cat ho de ) Either a black layer that absorbs light or a circularly polarizing plate that produces circularly polarized light on the element.

Description of the invention (3) Figure. As shown in the figure ... When the unpolarized external light 21 is incident on a circularly polarizing plate that absorbs left-handed light, its left-handed light is absorbed and only the left-handed light 2 2 penetrates through the right-handed light 22 The cathode 19 is reflected and converted into left-handed light 23, and the left-handed light 23 is absorbed by the circularly polarizing plate 18. If the reflection problem of the display panel of the electro-education light-emitting element is completely eliminated, the circularly polarized ^ polarizing plate 18 is generated. It will absorb circularly polarized light in one direction of the incident light, so the light 24 emitted by the electrically excited light element will also be absorbed by 50%, and only the left-handed light will be emitted, which greatly reduces the energy use efficiency. [Summary of the Invention] The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned traditional defects and to avoid the existence of the defects. The present invention arranges the light-emitting layers into a spiral structure, and arranges them on the substrate side. Circular polarizers increase the efficiency of energy use. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the light-converting light-emitting element for increasing contrast of the present invention and a manufacturing method thereof are composed of a circular polarizing plate, a substrate, a pole, a hole transfer layer, a light-emitting layer, and a cathode. When the sun line is incident, the circularly polarizing plate can absorb ^ part of the light (left-handed or right-handed light) in one direction, so as to reduce the polarized light reflection of the electro-active light element and increase the contrast; The light is turbulent and the helical parallel structure of the light layer can polarize a very specific circularly polarized light (right-handed light on the ^ side), so as to completely penetrate the circularly polarizing plate without causing light or efficiency.
