This is because light incident on the interface (interface between the transparent substrate and air) at an angle ⁇ greater than the critical angle causes total reflection and cannot be taken out of the device, or between the transparent electrode or light emitting layer and the transparent substrate.

- the method of introducing a diffraction grating into an interface that causes total reflection or in any medium is characterized by a high effect of improving light extraction efficiency.
- This method uses the property that the diffraction grating can change the direction of light to a specific direction different from refraction by so-called Bragg diffraction, such as first-order diffraction or second-order diffraction.

The light extraction efficiency does not increase so much.
- the refractive index distribution a two-dimensional distribution
- the light traveling in all directions is diffracted, and the light extraction efficiency is increased.
- the position where the diffraction grating is introduced may be in any layer or in the medium (in the transparent substrate or transparent electrode), but is preferably in the vicinity of the organic light emitting layer where light is generated. At this time, the period of the diffraction grating is preferably about 1/2 to 3 times the wavelength of light in the medium.

Lighting installed at each location, such as roads, stores, exhibition halls, hotels, and amusement parks, can send information signals specific to each location and provide necessary information to the receiver.
- a single light emitter provides a plurality of different information by incorporating a plurality of light emitting dopants having different wavelengths into one light emitter and generating different signals for different wavelengths. You can also. Also in this case, the organic EL having a stable emission wavelength and color tone is superior.

本発明の有機EL素子の封止に適用される封止手段としては、例えば、封止部材と、電極、支持基板とを接着剤で接着する方法を挙げることができる。
有機層を挟み支持基板と対向する側の前記封止膜あるいは前記封止用フィルムの外側に、素子の機械的強度を高めるために、保護膜あるいは保護板を設けてもよい。特に、封止が前記封止膜により行われている場合には、その機械的強度は必ずしも高くないため、このような保護膜、保護板を設けることが好ましい。これに使用することができる材料としては、前記封止に用いたのと同様なガラス板、ポリマー板・フィルム、金属板・フィルム等を用いることができるが、軽量かつ薄膜化ということからポリマーフィルムを用いることが好ましい。
有機EL素子における陽極としては、仕事関数の大きい(4eV以上)金属、合金、電気伝導性化合物及びこれらの混合物を電極物質とするものが好ましく用いられる。このような電極物質の具体例としてはAu等の金属、CuI、ITO、SnO2、ZnO等の導電性透明材料が挙げられる。また、IDIXO(In2O3-ZnO)等非晶質で透明導電膜を作製可能な材料を用いてもよい。陽極はこれらの電極物質を蒸着やスパッタリング等の方法により、薄膜を形成させ、フォトリソグラフィー法で所望の形状のパターンを形成してもよく、あるいはパターン精度をあまり必要としない場合は(100μm以上程度)、上記電極物質の蒸着やスパッタリング時に所望の形状のマスクを介してパターンを形成してもよい。あるいは、有機導電性化合物のように塗布可能な物質を用いる場合には、印刷方式、コーティング方式など湿式製膜法を用いることもできる。この陽極より発光を取り出す場合には、透過率を10%より大きくすることが望ましく、また陽極としてのシート抵抗は数百Ω/□以下が好ましい。更に膜厚は材料にもよるが、通常10nm~1000nm、好ましくは10nm~200nmの範囲で選ばれる。
一方、陰極としては、仕事関数の小さい(4eV以下)金属(電子注入性金属と称する)、合金、電気伝導性化合物及びこれらの混合物を電極物質とするものが用いられる。このような電極物質の具体例としては、ナトリウム、ナトリウム-カリウム合金、マグネシウム、リチウム、マグネシウム/銅混合物、マグネシウム/銀混合物、マグネシウム/アルミニウム混合物、マグネシウム/インジウム混合物、アルミニウム/酸化アルミニウム(Al2O3)混合物、インジウム、リチウム/アルミニウム混合物、希土類金属等が挙げられる。これらの中で、電子注入性及び酸化等に対する耐久性の点から、電子注入性金属とこれより仕事関数の値が大きく安定な金属である第二金属との混合物、例えば、マグネシウム/銀混合物、マグネシウム/アルミニウム混合物、マグネシウム/インジウム混合物、アルミニウム/酸化アルミニウム(Al2O3)混合物、リチウム/アルミニウム混合物、アルミニウム等が好適である。陰極はこれらの電極物質を蒸着やスパッタリング等の方法により薄膜を形成させることにより、作製することができる。また、陰極としてのシート抵抗は数百Ω/□以下が好ましく、膜厚は通常10nm~5μm、好ましくは50~200nmの範囲で選ばれる。なお、発光した光を透過させるため、有機EL素子の陽極または陰極のいずれか一方が、透明または半透明であれば発光輝度が向上し好都合である。
本発明の有機EL素子の作製方法の一例として、陽極/正孔注入層/正孔輸送層/第一発光層/第二発光層/正孔阻止層/電子輸送層/陰極からなる有機EL素子の作製法について説明する。
本発明の有機EL素子を適用した照明装置について説明する。
本発明の有機EL素子は、表示デバイス、ディスプレイ、各種発光光源として用いることができる。発光光源として、例えば、家庭用照明、車内照明、時計や液晶用のバックライト、看板広告、信号機、光記憶媒体の光源、電子写真複写機の光源、光通信処理機の光源、光センサの光源等が挙げられるがこれに限定するものではないが、特にカラーフィルタや光拡散板、光取り出しフィルムなどと組み合わせた各種表示装置のバックライト、照明用光源としての用途に有効に用いることができる。
商品展示・ディスプレイ用としては、店舗の商品ディスプレイ、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケース、博物館・美術館・展示会場などの展示品のライトアップ、自動販売機、遊戯台、交通広告などがある。
建築関係では、床・壁・天井などと照明とを融合して一体化したものは「建築化照明」と呼ばれる。「建築化照明」の代表的なものとしては、その方式により、コーニス照明、トロファ照明、コーブ照明、光天井、ルーバ天井などがある。これらは照明光源が天井・壁・床に組み込まれ、照明としての存在や気配を消し、建築素材自体が光を発することを求めている。
自動車用としては、外部の照明器具や発光表示体、車内の照明器具や発光表示体などに、有機EL素子が利用できる。前者は、前部に(小分類)ヘッドランプ、補助灯、車幅灯、フォッグランプ、方向指示灯など、後部にはリアコンビネーションランプとしてストップランプ、車幅灯、バック灯、方向指示灯、及びナンバープレート灯などがある。特に、有機EL素子を用いてリアコンビネーションランプを1枚で形成し、後部に貼り付けることによって、後部ランプのためのスペースを削減して、トランクルームを広くすることが可能となる。また、雨や霧で見通しが悪い時には、車幅灯やストップランプの面積を広くして、視認性を高めることもできる。一方、ホイールを有機EL素子で発光させることによって、側面からの視認性を高めることもできる。さらには、ボディ全体を有機EL素子で形成して発光させ、ボディカラーやデザインに新たな発想を盛り込むことが可能となる。
電車、地下鉄、バス、航空機、船舶などの公共交通機関における車内の照明や表示体において、本発明の有機ELは、その特徴を活かすことができる。
OA機器用光源としては、読み取り用センサが搭載されているファクシミリ、複写機、スキャナ、プリンタ、それらの複合機などがあげられる。
製造会社では、かつては目視による検品工程に多くの工数と人力をかけていたが、それを撮影画像を利用し欠品判定することで自動化をはかっている。CCDカメラでとらえた対象物の画像をデジタル信号に変換し、種々の演算処理を行うことで、対象物の面積、長さ、個数、位置などの特徴を抽出し、設定された基準をもとに判定結果を出力するものが、その画像撮影の為に光源が必要。このような検査システムはパッケージや形状サイズ検査、マイクロ部品の検査などでも利用される。
植物工場とは『環境制御や自動化などハイテクを利用した植物の周年生産システム』である。植物栽培の環境をコンピューターにより制御することで、天候に左右されることなく、人手を必要とせずに作物を自動的に生産する技術。今後の世界の人口増、環境問題を考えると、農業にハイテクを導入することで、安定な食糧生産につながるいわゆる農業の工業化が必要になる。最近はLED、LDが、植物栽培の光源としての可能性が高まってきた。従来からよく使われている高圧ナトリウムランプなどの光源は赤色光と青色光のスペクトルバランスが悪く、また多量の熱放射が空調負荷を大きくし、植物との距離を十分にとる必要があるために、施設が大型化する欠点がある。
消防法や建築基準法で規定されている防災照明設備は、建築物火災に際して非難の為の出口や経路を示す誘導灯と、避難経路の明るさを確保し、迅速な避難を担保する非常灯とがある。
写真館やスタジオ、照明写真ボックスなどで使われる光源には、ハロゲン、タングステン、ストロボ、蛍光灯などが用いられている。これらの光源を被写体に直接直線的に当て陰影を強くつける、もしくは光を拡散させ、あまり陰影のない柔らかな光をつくるという、大きくは2つの光の種類を色々な角度から組み合わせて1つの絵がつくられている。光を拡散させるためには、光源と被写体の間にディフューザーを挟むこと、または他の面(レフ板など)に当てた反射光を用いるなどの方法がある。
家電製品には細部の見易さ、作業のしやすさ、デザインの為、光源がつけられている場合が多い。一例を挙げると、ミシン、電子レンジ、食器洗浄乾燥機、冷蔵庫、AV機器などは、従来、光源が付いているが、新しいものでは洗濯乾燥機は横型モデルで取り残しが増えたことから光源が付けられるようになった。既存のものには白熱電球やLEDがつけられている場合が多い。今後、掃除機の先端に照明を設置して家具などの影の部分の清掃状況を確認したり、シェーバーに特定波長光の光源を設置して、髭剃り状況を確認したりするなど、色々と展開が考えられる。
スケートリンクの氷の下に有機ELを用いた照明を配置することによって、上からのスポットライトとは異なる演出が可能である。有機ELは発光温度が低いので特に有利である。また、スケーターの位置を検知して、その動きに合わせて発光させるようなことも可能である。スポットライトとの組み合わせ効果や、音楽のリズムに連動させた発光などもショーアップに有効である。
一般的にイルミネーションというと樹木へのイルミネーションのことを指していることが大半であったが、近年環境保護の観点から家屋や門、垣根などの造形物への装飾に移行する事例も数多くなっている。これは点光源を多数利用、ライン状に装飾したものが主流であり、LEDの出現により一層広がりを見せると見られている。
夜間屋外の歩行や運動で自動車・バイクなどから認識されやすくする目的で、自分の持ち物や靴、衣服に添付し、ヘッドライトの光を反射することで歩行者の安全を守る反射材製品(反射シートなど)が販売、利用されている。
有機EL素子を用いた発光体は、可視光を使って簡単なメッセージや情報などを送る「可視光タグ」にも有効に活用できる。すなわち、極めて短時間の明滅による信号を発光させることによって、それを受信する側に多量の情報を送ることができる。
現在はハロゲンランプなどが使用されている内視鏡や、ワイヤーを挿入して手術する腹腔手術用の照明などに有機ELを利用することによって、小型、軽量化、用途拡大に貢献する。特に近年注目されている、体内検査や治療に用いられる内視鏡カプセル(飲む内視鏡)などにも利用が可能で、期待されている。
さらに本発明の有機EL素子を組み込んだ発光体は、色調を容易に選択でき、蛍光灯のような明滅がなく、低消費電力で色調が安定しているので、特開2001-269105号公報に示されるような害虫防除装置として、特開2001-286373号公報に示されるような鏡用の照明として、特開2003-288995号公報に示されるような浴室照明システムとして、特開2004-321074号公報に示される植物育成用人工光源として、特開2004-354232号公報に示されるような水質汚れ測定装置の発光体として、特開2004-358063号公報に示されるような光感受性薬剤を用いた治療用被着体として、特開2005-322602号公報に示されるような医療用無影灯として、有用である。
