LIGHT SOURCE AND DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A red EL (10R), a green EL (10G) and a blue EL (10B) for emitting red, green and blue light are arranged on the back of liquid crystal display elements (11R, 11G and 11B) that display primary colors, respectively. The ELs are organic EL elements that include organic luminescent film. Each of the EL elements comprises an organic luminescent layer (14) interposed between ITO electrodes (13) and metal electrodes (15), which are in the form of mutually perpendicular stripes, and light is emitted from the intersections (luminescent points) of the stripes of the ITO and metal electrodes. The luminescent points are arranged two-dimensionally on a glass substrate (12) to illuminate the whole display area of the liquid crystal display elements.
