Title:
ORGANIC EL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/039319
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide: an organic EL device which has improved light extraction efficiency and improved viewing angle dependence of luminance and color change; and a lighting device which uses the organic EL device. This organic EL device comprises an organic EL element and a light diffusion element that is arranged on the light emitting surface side of the organic EL element. The light diffusion element comprises: a matrix that contains a resin component and an ultrafine particle component; and light diffusing fine particles that are dispersed in the matrix. The resin component, the ultrafine particle component and the light diffusing fine particles have refractive indexes satisfying formula (1). The light diffusion element has concentration modulated regions, which are formed outside the light diffusing fine particles in the vicinity of the surfaces thereof, and wherein the weight concentration of the resin component becomes lower and the weight concentration of the ultrafine particle component becomes higher with distance from the light diffusing fine particles. |nP - nA| < |nP - nB| (1) In formula (1), nA represents the refractive index of the resin component of the matrix; nB represents the refractive index of the ultrafine particle component of the matrix; and nP represents the refractive index of the light diffusing fine particles.
