- the organic EL display device generally has a light emitting body (organic EL light emitting body) in which a transparent electrode, an organic light emitting layer, and a metal electrode are laminated in this order on a transparent substrate.
- the organic light-emitting layer is a laminate of various organic thin films, for example, a laminate of a hole injection layer having a triphenylamine derivative or the like and a light-emitting layer of a fluorescent organic solid such as anthracene or the like.
- Various combinations such as a laminate of such a light emitting layer and an electron injection layer made of a perylene derivative, and a laminate of the hole injection layer, the light emitting layer, and the electron injection layer are given.
- the organic EL display device at least one electrode needs to be transparent in order to extract light emitted from the organic light emitting layer. Therefore, a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) is usually used. A transparent electrode formed of a body is used as the anode. On the other hand, in order to facilitate electron injection and increase luminous efficiency, it is important to use a material with a small work function for the cathode, and metal electrodes such as Mg-Ag and A1-Li are usually used. .
- ITO indium tin oxide
- the organic light emitting layer is formed of an extremely thin film having a thickness of, for example, about 10 nm. This is because even in the organic light emitting layer, light is transmitted almost completely as in the case of the transparent electrode. As a result, when the light is not emitted, the light that enters from the surface of the transparent substrate, passes through the transparent electrode and the organic light emitting layer, and is reflected by the metal electrode exits to the surface of the transparent substrate again. Therefore, when viewed from the outside, the display surface of the organic EL display device looks like a mirror surface.

- the angle between the polarization directions of the polarizing plate and the retardation plate is adjusted to ⁇ Z4
- the mirror surface of the metal electrode can be completely shielded. Can be. That is, as for the external light incident on the organic EL display device, only the linearly polarized light component is transmitted by the polarizing plate.
- the linearly polarized light is generally converted into elliptically polarized light by the retardation plate.
- the retardation plate is a 1Z4 wavelength plate and the angle is ⁇ 4
- the linearly polarized light is circularly polarized light.
- this circularly polarized light passes through a transparent substrate, a transparent electrode, and an organic thin film, is reflected by a metal electrode, again passes through the organic thin film, the transparent electrode, and the transparent substrate, and passes through the retardation plate. Again, it becomes linearly polarized light. And, since this linearly polarized light is orthogonal to the polarization direction of the polarizing plate, it cannot pass through the polarizing plate. As a result, as described above, the mirror surface of the metal electrode can be completely shielded. is there.
