An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit operable to capture a subject image to generate image data, a controller operable to calculate a target exposure value based on the image data and control exposure based on a first shooting parameter set by a user to obtain the target exposure value, and a display unit operable to provide a display. The controller calculates a first suitable range which is a range of the first shooting parameter for obtaining the target exposure value, and calculates a second shooting parameter based on the target exposure value and the first shooting parameter set by the user. The display unit displays exposure guide information including the first shooting parameter set by the user, information representing the first suitable range, and the calculated second shooting parameter.

Imaging apparatus

A light-emitting element is provided having a layered structure composed of at least a light-emitting layer having a light-emitting region and a reflective layer for reflecting light emitted from the light-emitting region. Light emitted from the light-emitting region is extracted from a light-extracting surface distanced from the light-emitting region. A light-scattering portion is present in a part of the reflective layer.

Light-emitting element and display device and lighting device using same

A remote control system which controls plural devices connected to a bus, and which includes: a set top box () that is operated by a controller (); and a DVD player () that transmits, to the plural devices connected to the bus, a first command indicating that the DVD player () is currently outputting video. Upon receiving the first command, the set top box () transmits, to the DVD player () via the bus, a second command corresponding to an operating signal transmitted from the controller, and the DVD player () receives the second signal and executes a process corresponding to the second command.

A light-emitting element having at least a light-emitting region arranged between a pair of electrodes is provided, in which the light-emitting region contains either (A) a light-emitting material, a compound capable of sustaining the charge transport, and a heavy metal as a mixture, or (B) a compound that is capable of sustaining the charge transport and that includes both of a portion for contributing to the charge transport and a portion for contributing to the light emission within the compound, and a heavy metal as a mixture. A method for producing the light-emitting element, and a display device in which a plurality of the light-emitting elements are used, are provided also. With the light-emitting element of the present invention, it is possible to provide an organic thin film electroluminescent element that has a high emission efficiency, whose materials are easy to synthesize as compared with a heavy metal complex-doped element that has been studied widely in recent years, that has a small concentration quenching, and that is stable and uniform. Therefore, the light-emitting element of the present invention is applicable as a light source for use in a flat-panel-type self-luminous display device and for other various purposes such as communication and illumination.

Luminous element and method for preparation thereof

Layered, light-emitting element

A thin film EL device having high electroluminescent efficiency, a low operating voltage, and a long lifetime. A thin film EL device of the present invention uses, as a luminescent layer, a charge-transport luminescent material that has, within a molecule, a portion contributing to charge transport and a portion contributing to luminescence where at least two molecular orbitals contributing to luminescent transition are localized.

Thin film EL device

A thin film EL device is disclosed which includes a hole-injecting electrode, an electron-injecting electrode paired with the hole-injecting electrode, and a functional layer provided between the hole-injecting electrode and the electron-injecting electrode and emitting light by application of an electric field produced by the electrodes. The electron-injecting electrode contains at least two or more different metals having different work functions and a capturing substance for capturing a low work function metal, which is a metal other than a highest work function metal among the above-described metals, in its ionic state. This configuration prevents deterioration of the low work function metal, increasing the luminance and lifetime of the device.

A light-emitting device includes a plurality of light-emitting elements provided on a base material, each of the light-emitting elements including a pair of electrodes, and a light-emitting layer interposed between the electrodes. Light-emitting surfaces of the light-emitting elements are arranged along a standing direction with respect to the base material. The light-emitting elements are formed into a belt shape, a strap shape, a cylindrical shape or a columnar shape or formed to be porous, thereby increasing a surface area of the light-emitting element drastically so as to reduce a current amount per unit area, thus providing a light source with an extended lifetime even in a high luminance application.
