Organic EL light emitting device and electronic apparatus
First Claim
1. An EL light emitting device, comprising:
- a substrate having a light emitting surface;
a first EL light emitter that emits a first light, and having an EL element deposited on the substrate, the first light emitter being arranged such that the first light enters the substrate from a thickness direction of the light emitting surface; and
a second EL light emitter that emits a second light, the second light emitter being arranged such that the second light enters the substrate from a plane direction of the light emitting surface, the plane direction crossing the thickness direction, wherein both of the first light and the second light output from the light emitting surface.

Abstract
The invention provides an organic EL (electroluminescence) light emitting device that includes a plane emission-type first organic EL light emitter, and a side emission-type second organic EL light emitter. The first organic EL light emitter includes a glass substrate, and an ITO film, an organic layer, a cathode layer, and a sealing substrate, which are laminated on the back of the glass substrate. The second organic EL light emitter includes a glass substrate, and an ITO film, a luminescent layer, a cathode layer, and a sealing substrate, which are laminated on either of the front and back sides of the glass substrate. The outer surface of the second organic EL light emitter is covered with a high-reflectance mirror except a portion of the side of the glass substrate. An aperture of the second organic EL light emitter is disposed opposite to the side of the glass substrate of the first organic EL light emitter. Accordingly, the invention increases a quantity of light emitted from the first organic EL light emitter.
