Patent ID: 11251338

Abstract:
A deep ultraviolet light-emitting element of this disclosure includes, in this order, an n-type semiconductor layer; a light-emitting layer; and a p-type semiconductor layer. An emission spectrum of the deep ultraviolet light-emitting element has a primary emission peak wavelength in a wavelength range of 200 nm or more and 350 nm or less, and a blue-violet secondary light emission component having a relative emission intensity of 0.03% to 10% across a wavelength range of 430 to 450 nm, a yellow-green secondary light emission component having a relative emission intensity of 0.03 to 10% across a wavelength range of 540 to 580 nm, when the relative emission intensities are expressed relative to an emission intensity at the primary emission peak wavelength taken as 100%. The ratio of an emission intensity at a wavelength of 435 nm to an emission intensity at a wavelength of 560 nm is 0.5 to 2.
