Abstract

The present invention is characterized by a DC-driven inorganic EL element useful for mobile and other applications, the EL element including at least plural electrode layers, and a light emitter layer made of an inorganic composition, which is provided between the electrode layers, wherein the attainted brightness in the DC drive is 10000 cd/m 2 or more.

Claims (8)

1. An inorganic EL element comprising at least two electrode layers to which a DC drive is connected, and a light emitter layer made of an inorganic composition that comprises iridium, which is provided between the electrode layers, wherein an attained brightness in the DC drive is 10000 cd/m2 or more, wherein the inorganic composition is obtained through an explosion method.

2. The inorganic EL element according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of said EL light emitter layer is 0.05 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

3. The inorganic EL element according to claim 1 or claim 2 , wherein said EL light emitter layer has surfaces between said two layers of electrodes, the two surfaces being made of different compositions.

4. The inorganic EL element according to claim 1 , wherein at least one electrode comprises silicon single crystal.

5. The inorganic EL element according to claim 4 , wherein at least one other electrode comprises silver.

6. The inorganic EL element according to claim 1 , wherein an attained brightness in the DC drive is at least 375000 cd/m2.

7. The inorganic EL element according to claim 1 , wherein said inorganic composition comprises zinc sulfide.

8. The inorganic EL element according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic composition further comprises zinc sulfide, magnesium sulfide, zinc oxide, barium fluoride, magnesium chloride, iridium chloride and gallium arsenide.
