Embodiments of a flexible electroluminescent (EL) device are described. An EL device includes a device stack and a flexible substrate configured to support the device stack. The device stack can include a anode and a cathode, a quantum dot (QD) film positioned between the anode and the cathode and configured to produce light having a first peak wavelength. The device stack further includes a patterned insulating layer disposed on the anode and configured to form electrically active regions in the device stack and to control emission of the light from the EL device through the electrically active regions. The EL device further includes an encapsulation layer disposed on the cathode.

A light-emitting device (20) includes a first light-emitting member (10a) and a second light-emitting member (10b). Each of the first light-emitting member (10a) and the second light-emitting member (10b) includes a first surface (12) and a second surface (14), and light is emitted from the first surface (12). The first light-emitting member (10a) includes a first region (16a) and a second region (16b), the first region (16a) of the first light-emitting member (10a) being located on the second surface (14) side of the second light-emitting member (10b) and the second region (16b) of the first light-emitting member (10a) being located on the first surface (12) side of the second light-emitting member (10b).

A light-emitting device (10) is, for example, a segment type display device, a display, or a lighting device, and includes a light-emitting portion (140), a light-transmitting portion (142), and an insulating film (150). The light-emitting portion (140) has a first electrode (110), an organic layer (120), and a second electrode (130). The light-transmitting portion (142) has the first electrode (110), the second electrode (130), and a first layer. The first layer is located between the first electrode (110) and the second electrode (130). In an example illustrated in the figure, the first layer is at least a part of the organic layer (120). The insulating film (150) defines the light-emitting portion (140) and is located in the light-transmitting portion (142).

An illuminated-marking system for a lamp assembly includes one or more markings illuminated by an organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel. The markings may include an ink composition printed directly onto the OLED panel. A process for printing the ink composition includes printing one or more desired ink compositions onto the OLED panel.

A light-emitting component a first layer stack configured to generate light, at least one additional layer stack configured to generate light, where each of the first layer stack and the at least one additional layer stack are separately drivable from one another and where an auxiliary structure is arranged between the first layer stacks and the at least one additional layer stacks.

A sealing member (200) is a sheet-like member to seal a light-emitting unit of a light-emitting device. The sealing member (200) is cut into a shape including a corner (220) having a central angle θ that is larger than 180 degrees when the light-emitting unit of the light-emitting device is sealed. When the sealing member (200) is cut, irregularities occur in the thickness direction in a region (222: first region) having a predetermined width w from an edge of the corner (220). When the irregularities occur, sealability of the sealing member (200) is deteriorated. Here, when a curvature radius of the corner ((220)) is equal to or greater than the above-mentioned width w, occurrence of the above-mentioned irregularities is inhibited.

A thin, sheetlike, electronic, self-powered component including at least a display device and/or a sensor, as well as an energy source or a combination of the preceding is provided. Furthermore, the integration of this electrical component in existing products, especially printing and paper products, without the objects having to be damaged or destroyed is provided.

When visible light (light having wavelength of 380 nm or more and 780 nm or less) is transmitted through a first light transmitting region (TR1) (a first light emitting portion (160a)), a second light transmitting region (TR2) (a second light emitting portion (160b)) and a third light transmitting region (TR3) (a first light transmitting portion (162)), more specifically, when light from a D65 light source is transmitted through the first light transmitting region (TR1), the second light transmitting region (TR2) and the third light transmitting region (TR3), both of a color difference between the first light transmitting region (TR1) and the third light transmitting region (TR3) and a color difference between the second light transmitting region (TR2) and the third light transmitting region (TR3) are both, for example, 0.4 or more and 6.5 or less in CIELAB. This reduces conspicuousness of both of the first light transmitting region (TR1) and the second light transmitting region (TR2). Furthermore, it is possible to identify the first light transmitting region (TR1), the second light transmitting region (TR2), and the third light transmitting region (TR3).
