US 7956349 B2Abstract
The other means for making massive electrical current flow in the organic material uses an SCLC (Space Charge Limited Current). The SCLC is an electrical current which is made to flow by injecting a space charge from the outside and moving it, the current density of which is expressed by Child's Law, i.e., Formula 1, shown below. In the formula, J denotes a current density, ∈ denotes a relative dielectric constant, ∈0 denotes a vacuum dielectric constant, μ denotes a carrier mobility, V denotes a voltage, and d denotes a distance (hereinafter, referred to as “thickness”) between electrodes applied with the voltage V:
J=9/8·∈∈0 μ·V 2 /d 3 Formula 1
