The electroluminescence structure includes a first electrode disposed in the first region, an optical adjusting layer disposed in the second region, an organic electroluminescence layer disposed above the first electrode and the optical adjusting layer and a common electrode disposed above the organic electroluminescence layer. The optical adjusting layer is disposed between the organic electroluminescence layer and the transparent substrate.

Illumination apparatus capable of illuminating different lighting patterns

An electroluminescent device includes a substrate, a first electrode, a patterned pixel define layer, a first color layer, a first connection layer, a second color layer, and a second electrode. The patterned pixel define layer has a first opening. A projected area of the first opening on the substrate is A. The first color layer is located in the first opening and electrically connected to the first electrode. A projected area of the first connection layer on the substrate is B. The second color layer is located between the first connection layer and the second electrode. When a ratio of B to A is r1, light emitted by the electroluminescent device has a first color temperature. When the ratio of B to A is r2, the light emitted by the electroluminescent device has a second color temperature.

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing platinum nanoparticle solution and a self-assembled platinum counter electrode thereof. The present invention adopts a polyol reduction method and controls the reduction reaction periods under various pH conditions. After the platinum nanoparticle dispersion solution of uniformly distributed platinum nanoparticles having small sizes is produced, the self-assembled platinum nanoparticles are adsorbed on a functionalized surface of a conductive substrate by dip coating at the normal temperature. Therefore, the structure of a platinum nanoparticle monolayer is formed, to obtain the self-assembled platinum counter electrode with a homogeneous single layer on the surface. This process is much simpler without adding any stabilizers or surfactants, without involving any subsequent heat treatments, and it consumes less amount of the platinum material. By employing the present invention for commercialization, the cost of mass production for the dye-sensitized solar cell application is thus reduced.
