It has.
- a moisture-proof layer 409 is disposed outside the hygroscopic agent-containing sealing layer 408, and the moisture-proof layer 409 is bonded to the translucent substrate 401 with an adhesive layer 410.
- the hygroscopic agent-containing sealing layer 408 is formed by adding a hygroscopic agent to the base resin and applying the hygroscopic agent-containing base resin to the outer surface of the protective sealing layer 407.
- Reference 1 describes that as a hygroscopic agent, a compound having a function of adsorbing moisture and maintaining a solid state even after moisture absorption is preferable, and calcium oxide, barium oxide, silica gel and the like are particularly preferable.
- the transparent conductive layer 402 is formed by patterning an ITO film formed on the translucent substrate 401 by a sputtering method.
- the cathode layer 404 is formed by evaporating Al.
- the light emitted from the organic light emitting layer 403 is extracted through the translucent substrate 401.
- one electrode (cathode) 101 is laminated on the surface of the substrate 104, a light emitting layer 103 is laminated on the surface of the electrode 101 via an electron injection / transport layer 105, and on the light emitting layer 103.
- the other electrode (anode) 102 is laminated via the hole injection / transport layer 106.
- the organic electroluminescence element includes a sealing member 107 on the surface side of the substrate 104. Therefore, in this organic electroluminescence element, light emitted from the light emitting layer 103 is radiated through the electrode 102 formed as a light transmissive electrode and the sealing member 107 formed of a transparent body.
- Examples of the material of the reflective electrode 101 include Al, Zr, Ti, Y, Sc, Ag, and In.
- Examples of the material of the electrode 102 which is a light transmissive electrode include indium-tin oxide (ITO) and indium-zinc oxide (IZO).
- some desiccant may be provided inside the sealing member 107 to prevent the occurrence and growth of non-light emitting points.
- the desiccant is preferably light-transmitting, and its size or It is described that it may be non-permeable depending on the arrangement location.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescence device capable of reducing luminance unevenness and improving reliability.
- the organic electroluminescence device includes a functional layer, a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a moisture absorption part.
- the functional layer includes a light emitting layer and has a first surface and a second surface in the thickness direction.
- the first electrode layer is disposed on the first surface of the functional layer.
- the second electrode layer is disposed on the second surface of the functional layer.
- the moisture absorption unit is configured to adsorb moisture.
- the second electrode layer has an electrode pattern.
- the electrode pattern includes an electrode portion that covers the second surface of the functional layer, and an opening formed in the electrode portion so as to expose the second surface of the functional layer.
- the hygroscopic part is disposed on the electrode part so as to expose the opening.
- the organic electroluminescence element generally has a higher sheet resistance of an anode made of an ITO film than that of a cathode made of a metal film, an alloy film, a metal compound film, etc., the potential gradient at the anode is high. As a result, the in-plane variation in luminance increases.
- the inventors of the present application examined the provision of the hygroscopic agent-containing sealing layer 408 described in FIG. 11 in the configuration of the organic electroluminescence element shown in FIG.
- the inventors of the present application examined the provision of the hygroscopic agent-containing sealing layer 408 described in FIG. 11 in the configuration of the organic electroluminescence element shown in FIG.
- calcium oxide, barium oxide, silica gel, or the like which is particularly preferable as a hygroscopic agent in Document 1
- the light extraction efficiency is lowered because the hygroscopic agent has low transparency.
- the area of the hygroscopic agent-containing sealing layer 408 is larger than the area of the light emitting layer 103. Therefore, the width of the non-light emitting portion between the light emitting layer 103 and the outer peripheral line of the substrate 104 is widened.
- the organic electroluminescence device of FIG. 12 even if a light transmissive material is used as the desiccant, there is a concern that the light extraction efficiency may be reduced due to scattering loss or absorption loss. In this case, there are fewer choices of desiccant materials.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above reasons, and an object of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescence device capable of reducing luminance unevenness and improving reliability.
- the organic electroluminescence element includes a substrate 10, a first electrode 20 provided on one surface side of the substrate 10 (upper surface side in FIG. 1), and a second electrode facing the first electrode 20 on the one surface side of the substrate 10.

- the first electrode 20 and the first surface 30 a of the functional layer 30 are disposed.
- the second electrode 50 is disposed on the second surface 30 b of the functional layer 30.
- the second electrode 50 includes an electrode pattern 40 having an opening 41 for extracting light from the functional layer 30 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).
- the second electrode 50 in the organic electroluminescence element, has an opening 41 for extracting light from the functional layer 30.
- the second electrode 50 includes a conductive polymer layer 39 in contact with the functional layer 30, and the above-described electrode pattern 40 is provided on the opposite side of the conductive polymer layer 39 from the functional layer 30 side. Is preferred.
- the second electrode 50 includes an electrode pattern 40 and a conductive polymer layer (conductive layer) 39.

- the conductive layer 39 is formed of a material that transmits light emitted from the light emitting layer 32.
- the conductive layer 39 is interposed between the second surface 30 b of the functional layer 30 and the electrode pattern 40 so as to cover the second surface 30 b of the functional layer 30.
- the electrode pattern 40 has a plurality of openings 41.
