Abstract

A method for driving an organic electroluminescent element including a first light-emitting layer and a second light-emitting layer comprises: applying a second current peak value to the second light-emitting layer exhibits a lower luminous efficiency than the first light-emitting layer at a current density of the second current peak value; and applying a first current peak value to the first light-emitting layer, wherein the first current peak value has a higher current density than the second current peak value.

Claims (17)

1. A method for driving an organic electroluminescent element comprising a first light-emitting layer and a second light-emitting layer, comprising:

applying a first current peak value to the first light-emitting layer;

applying a second current peak value to the second light-emitting layer that exhibits a lower luminous efficiency than the first light-emitting layer at a current density of the second current peak value; and

wherein the first current peak value has a higher current density than the second current peak value, and

wherein an application time of the first current peak value is shorter than an application time of the second current peak value.

2. The method for driving the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the current density of the second current peak value is smaller than a current density in which luminous efficiencies of the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer coincide with each other.

3. The method for driving the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the current density of the first current peak value is not less than a current density in which luminous efficiency is the same as luminous efficiency of the second light-emitting layer at the second current peak value.

4. The method for driving the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer have the same light-emitting area.

5. The method for driving the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer are laminated.

6. The method for driving the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the current density of the second current peak value is smaller than a current density in which luminous efficiencies of the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer coincide with each other.

7. The method for driving the organic electroluminescent element according to claim 1 ,

wherein the current density of the first current peak value is not less than a current density in which luminous efficiency is a same as luminous efficiency of the second light-emitting layer at the second current peak value.
