Abstract

Each of a plurality of the light-emitting units ( 140 ) includes a first electrode ( 110 ), an organic layer ( 120 ), and a second electrode ( 130 ). The first electrode ( 110 ) is light-transmitting, and the second electrode ( 130 ) is light-reflective. The organic layer ( 120 ) is located between the first electrode ( 110 ) and the second electrode ( 130 ). The light-transmitting regions ( 104 and 106 ) are located between the plurality of light-emitting units ( 140 ). A sealing member ( 170 ) covers the plurality of light-emitting units ( 140 ) and the light-transmitting regions ( 104 and 106 ). The sealing member ( 170 ) is fixed directly or through an insulating layer ( 174 ) to at least one of a structure (for example, the second electrode 130 ) formed on a substrate ( 100 ), and the substrate ( 100 ). In addition, a haze value of the light-emitting device ( 10 ) is equal to or less than 2.0%, preferably equal to or less than 1.4%.

Claims (41)

1. A light-emitting device, comprising:

a light-transmitting substrate;

a plurality of light-emitting units formed on the substrate, each light-emitting unit comprising a light-transmitting first electrode, a light-reflective second electrode, and an organic layer located between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a light-transmitting region located between the plurality of light-emitting units; and

a sealing member that covers the plurality of light-emitting units and the light-transmitting region,

wherein the sealing member is fixed to at least one of a structure formed on the substrate and the substrate, directly or through an insulating layer, and

wherein a haze value of the light-emitting device is equal to or less than 2.0%.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the haze value is equal to or less than 1.4%.

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the sealing member comprises a sealing plate, the sealing plate being fixed to the substrate and the structure with the insulating layer interposed therebetween.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 3 , further comprising an inorganic film located between the light-emitting unit and the insulating layer.

5. The light-emitting device according to claim 3 ,

wherein a surface roughness of a first surface of the sealing plate is higher than a surface roughness of a second surface of the sealing plate, and

wherein the sealing plate is disposed so that the first surface thereof faces the light-emitting unit.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the first surface of the sealing plate comprises a resin layer.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the resin layer contains inorganic particles.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the sealing member comprises

an inorganic film formed over the light-emitting unit and the light-transmitting region, and

a resin layer formed on the inorganic film.

9. A light-emitting device comprising:

a light-transmitting substrate;

a plurality of light-emitting units formed on the substrate, each light-emitting unit comprising a light-transmitting first electrode, a light-reflective second electrode, and an organic layer located between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a light-transmitting region located between the plurality of light-emitting units; and

a sealing member that covers the light-emitting unit and the light-transmitting region,

wherein a first surface of the sealing member is fixed to at least one of a structure formed on the substrate and the substrate through an insulating layer,

wherein the first surface of the sealing member comprises a resin layer that contains inorganic particles, and

wherein a surface roughness of the first surface is higher than a surface roughness of a second surface of the sealing member opposite to the first surface.

10. A light-emitting system comprising:

a light-transmitting partition member that partitions a space from the outside; and

a light-emitting device fixed on the partition member,

wherein the light-emitting device comprises:

a light-transmitting substrate;

a plurality of light-emitting units formed on the substrate, each light-emitting unit comprising a light-transmitting first electrode, a light-reflective second electrode, and an organic layer located between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a light-transmitting region located between the plurality of light-emitting units; and

a sealing member that covers the plurality of light-emitting units and the light-transmitting region,

wherein the sealing member is fixed to at least one of a structure formed on the substrate and the substrate, directly or through an insulating layer, and

wherein a haze value of the light-emitting device is equal to or less than 2.0%.
