Abstract
L'invention concerne un élément électroluminescent organique qui concilie à la fois une extraction de lumière à haut rendement et une amélioration en termes de visibilité. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un élément électroluminescent organique qui contient une paire d'électrodes (2, 4), et une couche organique (3) possédant au moins une couche de génération de lumière organique. Une structure périodique fine (5) dont la période d'arrangement est inférieure ou égale à la longueur d'onde de la lumière produite par la couche de génération de lumière organique, est formée sur au moins une face d'une électrode (première électrode (2)) côté extraction de la lumière ou d'un substrat (1) disposé côté extraction de la lumière. Lorsque l'indice de réfraction d'une zone adjacente à ladite électrode côté opposé à ladite couche organique (3) est représenté par n1, que l'indice de réfraction de ladite électrode est représenté par n2, et que l'indice de réfraction de la couche organique (3) adjacente à ladite électrode est représenté par n3, et quand n1≦n3, alors la relation n1≦n2≦n3 ou n2≦n1≦n3 est satisfaite, et quand n3≦n1, alors la relation n2≦n3≦n1 ou n3≦n2≦n1 est satisfaite. Ainsi, il est possible d'éviter la réflexion d'une lumière incidente inférieure à un angle critique, ou d'améliorer le rendement d'extraction de lumière d'une lumière incidente supérieure ou égale à l'angle critique, et en outre de réduire la réflexion d'une lumière extérieure.
