Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
An organic EL element (1) comprising a lamination body (6, 6') comprising a pair of electrodes (3, 5) opposed to each other and an organic luminescent material layer (4), which comprises an organic compound and is interposed between said pair of electrodes, for emitting a light from said organic luminescent material layer by supplying electrons and holes to said organic luminescent material layer from said pair of electrodes, characterized in that said organic EL element (1) further comprises: an airtight container (10) for airtightly containing said lamination body (6, 6') to isolate said lamination body from an external atmosphere thereof; and a drying substance (8) airtightly contained in said airtight container and spaced from said lamination body in an internal space (11) of said airtight container, for absorbing moisture in the internal space, said drying substance comprising a solid compound which chemically absorbs the moisture and maintains its solid state even after absorbing the moisture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
44 words
An organic EL element according to claim 1, characterized in that said lamination body (6') further comprises an electron supplying layer (22) and a holes supplying layer (21) laminated on said pair of electrodes (3, 5) for respectively supplying the electrons and the holes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
An organic EL element according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said airtight container (10) comprising: a sealing case (7), in which said drying substance (8) is disposed; a transparent substrate (2), on which said lamination body (6, 6') is disposed and which covers said sealing case; and a sealing agent (9) for airtightly bonding said transparent substrate to said sealing case.
