Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a light-emitting element with a microcavity structure which is capable of amplifying a plurality of wavelengths to give emission of a desired color. The light-emitting element includes a pair of electrodes and an EL layer having a light-emitting substance interposed between the pair of electrodes. One of the pair of electrodes gives a reflective surface and the other electrode gives a semi-reflective surface. The light-emitting element is arranged so that the emission of the light-emitting substance covers at least two wavelengths λ and an optical path length L between the reflective surface and the semi-reflective surface satisfies an equation L=nλ/2 where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A light-emitting element comprising: a reflective anode which is electrically conductive; an EL layer over the reflective anode; and a semi-reflective cathode over the EL layer, the semi-reflective cathode being electrically conductive; wherein the EL layer comprises: a thickness adjustment layer in direct contact with the reflective anode, the thickness adjustment layer comprising a conductive metal oxide; a layer over and in direct contact with th…
