The invention concerns an electroluminescent device comprising first and second substantially parallel mirrors for converting electron-hole pairs into photons, and means for generating electrons and holes. The converting means and the first and second mirrors are designed to ensure the confinement between the first and second mirrors of photons having at least a selected wavelength, associated with a guided propagation mode. Additionally, the device comprises light extracting means which communicate with part at least of the converting means and the generating means, comprised between the first and second mirrors, and are designed to extract therefrom part at least of the photons in guided mode, so that they reach outside.
An electroluminescent device (1) of the type comprising first (14) and second (5) mirrors substantially parallel and framing converting means (7) of electron-hole pairs into photons, and electron and holes generating means (6,8), characterised in that said converting means (7) and the first (14) and second (5) mirrors are arranged so as to ensure containment between said first (14) and second (5) photon mirrors presenting at least a selected wavelength associated to a guided propagation mode, and means of light extraction (13) communicating with a part at least of the converting means and generating means, included between the first and second mirrors, and arranged in the periphery of the converting and generating means to extract out of these at least a part of photons in the guided mode.
An electroluminescent diode, characterised in that it comprises a device (1) according to one of the previous claims.
