    Abstract: An electroluminescent element includes a first transparent electrode, a second transparent electrode, a light emitting layer sandwiched between the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode, a first transparent member formed on a surface of the first transparent electrode opposite to the light emitting layer, and a second transparent member formed on a surface of the second transparent electrode opposite to the light emitting layer, wherein refractive indices of the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode are selected such that as seen from the light emitting layer, a reflectance of an interface between the light emitting layer and the first transparent electrode becomes higher than a reflectance of an interface between the light emitting layer and the second transparent electrode, and wherein a refractive index of the first transparent member is set to be higher than a refractive index of the second transparent member.

    Abstract: In an image projection device including a laser beam source and a diffractive optical element provided on an optical path of a laser beam L from the laser beam source, a transparent member having a refractive index higher than that of an area ahead of an emission surface on the optical path of the laser beam L and a diffractive optical element is formed on an emission surface of the transparent member. The laser beam L is obliquely incident on the diffractive optical element. The diffractive optical element generates a diffraction image in an area which is not overlapped with zeroth order light LR of the laser beam L and an area occupied by a conjugate image, and is arranged in a direction to irradiate a screen with diffracted light forming the diffraction image while substantially eliminating the zeroth order light and the diffracted light forming the conjugate image.

    Abstract: An X-ray metal grating structure of the present invention has a grating region in which a plurality of first structural portions are periodically provided, wherein an air gap is formed between each of the plurality of first structural portions and a second structural portion as a remaining part of the grating region other than the plurality of first structural portions. Thus, the X-ray metal grating structure of the present invention is formed as a grating structure having high flatness. A production method therefor comprises a step of forming the air gap between the first structural portion and the second structural portion. Thus, the production method makes it possible to produce an X-ray metal grating structure having high flatness. The present invention further provides an X-ray metal grating unit and an X-ray imaging device each comprising the X-ray metal grating structure.

    Abstract: A method of designing an electroluminescent device includes preparing a reference device including a construction of an electroluminescent device and a desired analyzed device including a construction of an electroluminescent device, performing quantum optical analysis, electromagnetic field analysis, and ray trace with thicknesses and complex relative permittivities of a first transparent member, a first electrode, a first functional layer, a second functional layer, an emissive layer, and a second electrode as well as a position of a light-emitting point in the emissive layer and a distribution of light-emitting points in the emissive layer being used as design variables, calculating a “ratio of light extraction efficiency” between the reference device and the analyzed device by computing efficiency of light extraction from the emissive layer into the transparent member or air in both of the reference device and the analyzed device, finding relation of the thickness and the complex relative permittivity of each layer forming the reference device and the analyzed device with the “ratio of light extraction efficiency,” and obtaining thicknesses and complex relative permittivities of the first transparent member, the first electrode, the first functional layer, the second functional layer, the emissive layer, and the second electrode as the design variables, based on the relation and an electroluminescence spectrum in air and the first transparent member measured by feeding a current to the reference device.
