A LIQUID CRYSTAL PROJECTOR UTILIZING ORGANIC EL ELEMENTS WITH MCROCAVTTIES AS LIGHT SOURCES

摘要

Flat-shaped red, green, and blue organic EL elements with microcavities have been applied as light sources of a LC projector. Extremely small and light weight LC projectors could be realized with these EL elements. These type of LC projectors would bring new applications for projectors. It was found that an organic EL element with a microcavity would be a good candidate for new light source. However, enhancement of luminance and a longer lifetime are required.
