Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent element that suitable for food lighting and indoor lighting at room temperature. The emission spectrum of light emitted from the organic electroluminescent element according to the present invention has peaks in red, green, and blue regions, respectively. Of the proportions of the maximum to the minimum of the intensity of the peak in the red, green, and blue regions at an element temperature in a range of 5° C. to 60° C., the proportion of the maximum to the minimum of the intensity of the peak in the green region is the highest, and the intensity of the peak in the green region decreases with an increase in the element temperature.

Claims (20)

1 . An organic electroluminescent element having an emission spectrum which has peaks in a red region, a green region and a blue region, respectively,

wherein:

of a proportion of a maximum to a minimum of an intensity of the peak in the red region of the emission spectrum at an element temperature in a range of 5° C. to 60° C., a proportion of a maximum to a minimum of an intensity of the peak in the green region of the emission spectrum at the element temperature in a range of 5° C. to 60° C., and a proportion of a maximum to a minimum of an intensity of the peak in the blue region of the emission spectrum at the element temperature in a range of 5° C. to 60° C., the proportion of the maximum to the minimum of the intensity of the peak in the green region is the highest; and

the organic electroluminescent element has a property of decreasing the intensity of the peak in the green region with an increase in the element temperature in a range of 5° C. to 60° C.

2 . The organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of light emitting layers designed to emit tight in the green region,

wherein at least one of the plurality of light emitting layers contains a phosphorescent dopant.

3 . The organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 , comprising:

a red region light emitting layer designed to emit light in the red region; and

a green region light emitting layer designed to emit light in the green region, the green region light emitting layer being placed on the red region light emitting layer and containing a phosphorescent dopant,

wherein the red region light emitting layer has a thickness less than a thickness of the green region light emitting layer.

4 . The organic electroluminescent element according to claim 3 , wherein

a rate of the thickness of the red region light emitting layer to the thickness of the green region light emitting layer is in a range of 2 to 15%.

5 . The organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 , comprising:

a first light emitting unit;

a second light emitting unit; and

an interlayer interposed between the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit.

6 . A lighting fixture comprising the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 .

7 . A food storage device, comprising:

a storage configured to store food; and

the lighting fixture according to claim 6 configured to illuminate an interior of the storage.
