Abstract

The present invention provides an organic electroluminescence display device including an organic electroluminescence element which includes a transparent electrode, a counter electrode, and an organic compound layer provided between the transparent electrode and the counter electrode, the organic compound layer including a light emitting layer, and a fine particle-containing layer positioned in the optical path of light emitted from the light emitting layer and adjacent to the transparent electrode, wherein the fine particle-containing layer contain an organic resin material having a refractive index equal to or lower than the refractive index of the transparent electrode, and fine particles having a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the organic resin material and a weight average particle diameter of 0.5 μm to 5 μm, and the fine particle-containing layer has a thickness of 2 μm to 10 μm.

Claims (12)

1. An organic electroluminescence display device comprising:

an organic electroluminescence element which comprises a transparent electrode, a counter electrode, and an organic compound layer provided between the transparent electrode and the counter electrode, the organic compound layer including a light emitting layer,

a fine particle-containing layer positioned in the optical path of light emitted from the light emitting layer and adjacent to the transparent electrode and a reflection plate disposed on a surface of the fine particle-containing layer opposite to a surface thereof provided with the transparent electrode,

an interlayer insulating layer disposed on a surface of the reflection plate opposite to the surface of the reflection plate that is adjacent to the fine particle-containing layer, and

a passivation layer disposed on a surface of the interlayer insulating layer opposite to the surface of the interlayer insulating layer that is adjacent to the reflection plate,

wherein the fine particle-containing layer comprises an organic resin material having a refractive index equal to or lower than the refractive index of the transparent electrode, and fine particles having a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the organic resin material and a weight average particle diameter of 0.5 μm to 5 μm, and the fine particle-containing layer has a thickness of 2 μm to 10 μm.

2. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 1 , wherein the fine particles in the fine particle-containing layer are primary particles.

3. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 1 , wherein the fine particle-containing layer further comprises a fine-particle dispersant.

4. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a substrate disposed on a surface of the passivation layer.

5. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 1 , further comprising an organic thin-film transistor disposed on the passivation layer.

6. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 5 , wherein the drive system of the organic electroluminescence display device is a thin-film transistor drive.

7. The organic electroluminescence display device according to claim 5 , wherein in the fine particle-containing layer, a contact hole is formed for connecting the transparent electrode and the organic thin-film transistor.
