Abstract

The invention provides an organic electroluminescence device having an input function, including: an element substrate that has a light-emitting layer sandwiched between a pair of electrodes; a sealing substrate that seals the element substrate; a first detection electrode that is provided at the inner-surface side of the sealing substrate; a second detection electrode that is provided at the outer-surface side of the sealing substrate; the second detection electrode having a detection axis that is not the same as that of the first detection electrode; a dielectric film that is formed on the second detection electrode; and a detection unit that detects a position at which electrostatic capacitance is generated via the dielectric film between the first detection electrode and the second detection electrode.

Claims (19)

1. An organic electroluminescent device having an input function, comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate having a first surface that faces the first substrate and a second surface opposite the first surface;

a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate;

a cathode that opposes the pixel electrode;

a light-emitting layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the cathode;

a first detection electrode extending in a first direction and arranged on the first surface of the second substrate;

a second detection electrode extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction, the second detection electrode being arranged on the second surface of the second substrate; and

a detection unit that detects a contact position based on an electrostatic capacitance formed between the first detection electrode and the second detection electrode.

2. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an antireflection coating arranged on the second detection electrode.

3. An electronic device, comprising:

the organic electroluminescent device of claim 2 .

4. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a circular polarizing plate arranged on the second detection electrode.

5. An electronic device, comprising:

the organic electroluminescent device of claim 4 .

6. An electronic device, comprising:

the organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 .
