Abstract

[Problem] To provide a small-sized pest extermination device that emits ultraviolet rays. [Solution] A pest extermination device 1 according to the present invention is a stationary type small-sized device installed in a storage warehouse or the like to exterminate pests such as cockroaches, and includes a housing 3 and a bottom plate 40. The housing 3 includes a top plate 10, a light source unit 60 that is disposed on a lower surface of the top plate 10 and irradiates the bottom plate 40 with ultraviolet rays, and a plurality of partition members A to E. The plurality of partition members A to E is arranged to have regular gaps between the partition members A to E. When a pest passes through or stays in the gap, the pest is irradiated, for a long time, with the ultraviolet rays emitted from the light source unit 60, and the ultraviolet rays are accumulated in the body of the pest to weaken and eventually kill the pest, whereby pests are efficiently exterminated to maintain a hygienic environment.

Abstract

A light emitting element circuit includes a light emitting element (1), a current supply path to the light emitting element (1), a constant current circuit (2) that supplies a current to the light emitting element (1) via the current supply path, and an electric discharge path that discharges an electric charge accumulated at the light emitting element (1) and at a region connected between the both electrodes when the constant current circuit (2) stops a current supply to the light emitting element (1). A light emitting element failure detector (4) that detects a short-circuit of the light emitting element (1) in a light emitting element circuit includes a current instantaneous interruption circuit (5), a voltage detector (60), and a determiner (62). The current instantaneous interruption circuit (5) is arranged on the current supply path different from the electric discharge path and instantaneously interrupts an electric current that the constant current circuit (2) supplies to the light emitting element (1). The voltage detector (60) obtains an output of a voltage Vf between the anode and cathode of the light emitting element (1) during a period of the instantaneous interruption as a measuring object. The determiner (62) determines the existence of a short-circuit from the output.

A light emitting element failure detector (4) further includes an instantaneous current interruption circuit (5) which instantaneously interrupts an electric current to the light emitting element (1) by a current supply path different from the electric discharge path, a diode (60), a DC power supply (61), and a current detector (62). The DC power supply (61) generates a direct-current reference voltage having a positive value lower than a voltage between the anode and cathode of the light emitting element (1) in a normal state. The DC power supply (61), the diode (60), and the current detector (62) which are connected in series constitute a parallel electric path of the light emitting element (1). An anode of the DC power supply (61) and a cathode of the diode (60) are arranged on the anode side of the light emitting element (1). The current detector (62) detects an electric current which flows in the parallel electric path when an electric current is instantaneously interrupted.

A surface light-emitting element radiates light emitted to a side of a surface light-emitting device. The surface light-emitting device includes: a polygonal transparent substrate, and a light-emitting element disposed on one face of the transparent substrate. The light-emitting element is a laminated body including a transparent electrode which is positively charged and functions as an anode, a negative electrode which becomes negatively charged and functions as a cathode opposite the transparent electrode, and a light-emitting layer between the transparent electrode and a negative electrode. Lengths of respective sides and a thickness of the transparent substrate have a relationship that if b denotes the thickness of transparent substrate, dividing the lengths of the respective sides by 4b results in values ranging from 0.5 (inclusive) to 10 (inclusive).

A translucent material substrate is shaped such that high luminous efficiency can be obtained in an organic EL light source in which light is emitted from a translucent material substrate to the atmosphere. The organic EL light source includes a luminescent layer composed of an organic luminescent element, a transparent electrode and a counter electrode, and a translucent material substrate. The translucent material substrate has a truncated quadrangular pyramidal shape having a surface in abutment with the luminescent layer as the bottom face of the shape. The bottom face is formed in the shape of a square in which the length of one side is “b”, and the top face opposite the bottom face is formed in the shape of a square in which the length of one side with respect to the same extending direction as that of the “b”-length side is “a”. In addition, the shape of the translucent material substrate has thickness “c”. The translucent material substrate is shaped so that a ratio (a/b) of length a of a side of the top face to length b of a side of the bottom face in the same extending direction as that of the side is 0.3 or higher but not higher than 0.95, and that a ratio (b/c) of length b of a side of the bottom face to the thickness c of the translucent material substrate is 10 or lower.
