- both the high transmission characteristics of the outgoing light (scattered light) with respect to the incident light and the wide viewing angle characteristics can be achieved.
- the average particle diameter of the second particles is 150 nm to 300 nm, at least light having a wavelength in the visible light region can be scattered more widely and forward, and thus a wider viewing angle characteristic can be obtained. be able to.

That is, by setting the relationship between the concentrations (contents) of the first particles 11 and the second particles 12 to 5 ⁇ Ca / Cb ⁇ 20 as described above, the thin film can achieve both high transmission characteristics and wide viewing angle characteristics.

- the particle size parameter ⁇ greatly affects the scattering characteristics.
- This is a so-called Rayleigh scattering region.
- ⁇ 1 forward scattering and side scattering are dominant, and a so-called Mie scattering region in which little scattering is performed in the backward direction.
- ⁇ >> 1 forward scattering is dominant, and this is a diffraction scattering region based on so-called geometrical optics that hardly scatters to the side and back.
- the first particles 11 having the above-described diffraction scattering characteristics and the second particles 12 having the Mie scattering characteristics are dispersed in the translucent resin 13, thereby achieving high transmission.
- the characteristics and wide viewing angle characteristics are compatible. For this reason, when the ratio of the particle sizes of the two types of particles (Da / Db) is small, it is not possible to impart the intended scattering characteristics to the two types of particles with respect to the incident light, resulting in high transmission characteristics and a wide field of view. The corner characteristics cannot be balanced.
- the particle diameter Da of the first particles 11 is preferably 600 nm or more.
- the ratio of the scattering component increases.
- the critical angle that can be taken out to the outside is determined by Snell's law. It is approximately 42 °.
- the refractive index na of the first particle 11 is 1.6, if the particle size Da is smaller than 600 nm, scattered light that is scattered at 42 ° or more is generated. Therefore, such scattered light can be extracted outside. This is not possible, and there is a possibility that the desired high transmission characteristics of the first particles 11 cannot be achieved.
- the particle diameter Db of the second particles 12 is preferably 150 nm ⁇ Db ⁇ 200 nm.
- the side scattering component increases as the particle size of the particles increases. The ratio of becomes smaller.

- the refractive index na of the second particle 12 is 2.7 and the particle diameter Db is 200 nm
- the scattering intensity ratio of the scattering angle ⁇ : 42 ° to the scattering intensity of the scattering angle ⁇ : 0 ° is about 50%
- Db is When the thickness is 200 nm or more, the scattering intensity ratio decreases, and there is a possibility that the intended wide viewing angle characteristic of the second particles 12 cannot be achieved.
- the relationship between the refractive index na of the first particles 11 and the refractive index nb of the second particles 12 is nb ⁇ na ⁇ 0.4.
- the refractive index of the particles the higher the refractive index, the more generally it becomes a wide scattering characteristic.
- the refractive index difference between the two types of particles is small, It is difficult to make a difference in scattering characteristics, and it is impossible to achieve both high transmission characteristics and wide viewing angle characteristics.
- the refractive index na of the first particles 11 and the refractive index nb of the second particles 12 are larger than the refractive index nc of the translucent resin 13. If the refractive index of the particle is decreased from a region larger than the refractive index of the translucent resin, the ratio of the side scattering component decreases, and if there is no difference in refractive index between the two, almost no scattering occurs in the lateral direction. It is common. For example, when the refractive index nb of the second particle 12 in which enhancement of the side scattering component is important becomes equal to the refractive index nc of the translucent resin 13, the side scattering component decreases, and the second particle 12 The desired wide viewing angle characteristics cannot be achieved.

以上の処理によって、有機EL層を構成する各層を形成した。
まず、基板を金属蒸着用チャンバーに固定、半透明電極形成用のシャドーマスクと基板をアライメントした。なお、シャドーマスクとしては、第一電極のストライプと対向する向きに、500μm幅、600μmピッチのストライプ状に第二電極を形成できるように開口部が設けられたマスクを用いた。
さらに、その上に、干渉効果を強調する目的、および、第二電極での配線抵抗による電圧降下を防止する目的で、銀を0.1nm/secの蒸着速度で所望のパターンで形成(厚さ:19nm)した。
以上の処理によって、半透明電極を形成した。
以上の処理によって、有機EL素子が形成された有機EL素子基板を得た。
ここで、外部電源により所望の電流を所望のストライプ状電極に印加することによって、青色発光有機EL素子を任意にスイッチング可能な励起光源とし、赤色蛍光体膜にて青色光を赤色光に変換し、緑色蛍光体膜にて青色光を緑色光に変換することにより、赤色、緑色の等方発光が得られるとともに、青色散乱体膜を介することにより、等方的な青色発光が得られた。これにより、フルカラー表示が可能で、良好な画像、視野角特性のよい画像を得ることができた。
実施例9と同様にして、液晶・蛍光体基板部を形成した。
ここで、外部電源により所望の電流を所望のストライプ状電極に印加することによって、指向性青色バックライトからの出射光を任意にスイッチング可能な励起光源とし、赤色蛍光体膜にて青色光を赤色光に変換し、緑色蛍光体膜にて青色光を緑色光に変換することにより、赤色、緑色の等方発光が得られるとともに、青色散乱体膜を介することにより、等方的な青色発光が得られた。これにより、フルカラー表示が可能で、良好な画像、視野角特性のよい画像を得ることができた。
