CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

BACKGROUND
1. Field

Aspects of one or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an organic light-emitting device and an electronic apparatus including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms of brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, compared to other devices in the art.

An example organic light-emitting device may include a first electrode on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode sequentially positioned on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers (such as holes and electrons) may recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons may transition from an excited state to the ground state to thereby generate light.

The light efficiency of an organic light-emitting device may be measured with respect to an internal luminescent efficiency or an external luminescent efficiency. The internal luminescent efficiency indicates how efficiently excitons are generated and light conversion occurs in an organic layer positioned between a first electrode and a second electrode, (e.g., between an anode and a cathode), wherein the organic layer includes a hole transport layer, an emission layer, and an electron transport layer. The external luminescent efficiency (also called “light coupling efficiency”) indicates how efficiently light generated in the organic layer is emitted toward the outside of the organic light-emitting device. Although light conversion efficiency may be high in an organic layer (e.g., even when internal luminescent efficiency is high), when the external luminescent efficiency is low, the overall light efficiency of the organic light-emitting device may be low.

On the other hand, if ultraviolet rays (UV) are allowed to freely transmit through the organic light-emitting device (for example, when light transmission through the organic light-emitting device is high), the emission layer and organic material may be seriously damaged. As the outdoor use of information devices including organic light-emitting devices increases, sunlight and UV exposure of such devices is also increasing. Also, there are many cases in which an operation of irradiating ultraviolet rays is required in the process of manufacturing an organic light-emitting device.

SUMMARY

Aspects of one of more embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward an organic light-emitting device capable of reducing a transmitting amount (e.g., transmission) of ultraviolet rays from the outside while having a high light extraction rate (e.g., external luminescent efficiency), and an electric apparatus including the same.

The condensed cyclic compound may absorb external ultraviolet (UV) rays to prevent or reduce the ultraviolet rays from transmitting therethrough. Therefore, the organic light-emitting devices 10, 20, and 30, in which the condensed cyclic compound is included in the first layer 210 and/or the second layer 220, may prevent or reduce the emission layer or the like including the organic material from being damaged by external ultraviolet rays. For example, the condensed cyclic compound may absorb UV light having a wavelength of about 400 nm to about 410 nm.

In one or more embodiments, the condensed cyclic compound has a transmittance of about 10% or less (for example, about 5% or less) with respect to light having a wavelength of about 400 nm to about 410 nm (for example, about 405 nm).

In one or more embodiments, the condensed cyclic compound has a transmittance of about 90% or more (for example, about 95%) with respect to light having a wavelength of about 430 nm.

In the condensed cyclic compound, π-π stacking is increased by strong π-π interactions, and the first layer or the second layer including the condensed cyclic compound subsequently has a high refractive index, thereby contributing to improvement in the luminescent efficiency of the organic light-emitting device, including the external luminescent efficiency.

Since the organic light-emitting device has a structure in which a plurality of layers including various materials are stacked, light generated in the organic layer may be extinguished while passing through a plurality of layers in the device due to total reflection, such that light is not transmitted to the outside of the organic light-emitting device. When the external luminescent efficiency (e.g., the external extraction efficiency) of the organic light-emitting device is low, the total luminescent efficiency of the organic light-emitting device may be deteriorated or limited even when light conversion efficiency in the organic layer is high. However, the first layer 210 and/or the second layer 220 including the condensed cyclic compound is capable of increasing the external extraction efficiency of the organic light-emitting device according to the principle of constructive interference when light generated in the organic layer including the emission layer travels into air through the first electrode and/or the second electrode, thereby greatly contributing to the improvement in the luminescent efficiency of the organic light-emitting device.

Therefore, the first layer 210 including the condensed cyclic compound and/or the second layer 220 including the condensed cyclic compound may be an ultraviolet-absorbing light-efficiency-enhancement layer (e.g. may absorb ultraviolet light and may simultaneously increase the external extraction efficiency of the organic light-emitting device using constructive interference).

At least one selected from the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 may further include at least one material selected from a carbocyclic compound, a heterocyclic compound, an amine-based compound, a porphyrin derivative, a phthalocyanine derivative, a naphthalocyanine derivative, an alkali metal complex, and an alkaline earth metal complex. The carbocyclic compound, the heterocyclic compound, and/or the amine-based compound may be optionally substituted with a substituent containing at least one element selected from oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), silicon (Si), fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). In one or more embodiments, at least one selected from the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 may further include an amine-based compound.

In one or more embodiments, at least one selected from the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 may further include a compound selected from Compounds HT28 to HT33 and Compounds CP1 to CP5, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto:

In one or more embodiments, the first layer 210 may directly contact the first electrode. The first layer 210 may be an ultraviolet-absorbing light-efficiency-enhancement layer.

If necessary, one or more layers may be additionally provided between the first electrode and the first layer 210 and/or between the second electrode and the second layer 220. In one or more embodiments, the first layer 210 may directly contact the first electrode, and/or the second layer 220 may directly contact the second electrode. The first layer 210 and the second layer 220 may each be an ultraviolet-absorbing light-efficiency-enhancement layer.

An organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be patterned to correspond to R, G, and B pixels that constitute an organic layer. Accordingly, the organic layer may include a red emission organic layer, a green emission organic layer, and a blue emission organic layer.

The first layer 210 and/or the second layer 220 that includes the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be formed as a common (e.g., shared) layer with respect to the R, G and B pixels. When the first layer 210 and/or the second layer 220 are formed as a common layer with respect to R, G and B pixels, a thickness of the first layer 210 and/or the second layer 220 may be about 500 Å to about 800 Å, for example, about 600 Å to about 700 Å. When the thickness of the light-efficiency improvement layer is within these ranges, excellent light efficiency improvement effects may be obtained.

In one or more embodiments, the first layer (and/or the second layer) may be composed of at least one selected from a first layer (and/or second layer)-R, a first layer (and/or second layer)-G, and a first layer (and/or second layer)-B. For example, the first layer and/or the second layer may be patterned to correspond to the R, G and B pixels.

The thicknesses of the first layer (and/or second layer)-R, the first layer (and/or second layer)-G, and the first layer (and/or second layer)-B may be identical to or different from each other.

According to another aspect of embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic apparatus includes: the organic light-emitting device and a thin film transistor, wherein the first electrode and the organic light-emitting device may electrically contact at least one of a source electrode and a drain electrode of the thin film transistor.

Example 1

A Corning 15 Ω/cm²(1,200 Å) ITO glass substrate was cut to a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.7 mm, sonicated with isopropyl alcohol and pure water each for 5 minutes, and then cleaned by exposure to ultraviolet rays and ozone for 30 minutes to prepare an anode. Then, the resultant ITO glass substrate was provided to a vacuum deposition apparatus.

2-TNATA was vacuum-deposited on the ITO glass substrate to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of 1,000 Å.

9,10-di-naphthalene-2-yl-anthracene (ADN), which is a blue fluorescent host, and N,N,N′,N′-tetraphenyl-pyrene-1,6-diamine, which is a blue fluorescent dopant, were co-deposited on the hole transport layer at a weight ratio of 98:2 to form an emission layer having a thickness of 300 Å.

Then, Alq₃was deposited on the emission layer to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 300 Å, LiF (which is an alkali metal halide), was deposited on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer having a thickness of 10 Å, and Al was vacuum-deposited on the electron injection layer to form a transmissive electrode having a thickness of 100 Å, thereby forming a LiF/AI electrode (e.g., as a cathode).

Compound 1 was deposited on the LiF/AI electrode to form a second layer having a thickness of 800 Å, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device.
