ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0154760, filed on Nov. 4, 2015, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire content of which is incorporated herein in by reference.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

One or more aspects of embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an organic light-emitting device.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, and short response times. In addition, the OLEDs exhibit high luminance, low driving voltage, and good response speed characteristics, and can produce full-color images.

An OLED may include a first electrode disposed (e.g., positioned) on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode, for example, may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode, for example, may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, may then recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons change from an excited state to a ground state to thereby generate light.

SUMMARY

One or more aspects of embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward an organic light-emitting device having high efficiency and long lifespan.

Further, the use of “may” when describing embodiments of the present invention refers to “one or more embodiments of the present invention.”

The drawing is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment.

Referring to the drawing, a substrate may be additionally disposed (e.g., positioned) under a first electrode 110 or over a second electrode 190. The substrate may be a glass substrate or transparent plastic substrate, each with excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and/or water resistance.

The first electrode 110 may be formed by depositing or sputtering a material for forming the first electrode 110 over the substrate. When the first electrode 110 is an anode, the material for forming the first electrode 110 may be selected from materials with a high work function to facilitate hole injection. The first electrode 110 may be a reflective electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a transmissive electrode. The material for forming the first electrode 110 may be a transparent and highly conductive material. Non-limiting examples of such material may include indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO₂), and zinc oxide (ZnO). When the first electrode 110 is a semi-transmissive electrode or a reflective electrode, as a material for forming the first electrode 110, at least one selected from magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), and magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag) may be used.

The first electrode 110 may have a single-layer structure, or a multi-layer structure including a plurality of layers. In some embodiments, the first electrode 110 may have a triple-layer structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

An organic layer 150 including an emission layer may be disposed (e.g., positioned) over (e.g., on) the first electrode 110. The organic layer 150 may include a hole transport region between the first electrode 110 and the emission layer and an electron transport region between the emission layer and the second electrode 190.

Since the first compound represented by one of Formulae 1-1 to 1-5 includes two or more five-membered hetero rings (rings including heteroatoms as ring-forming atoms), the first compound may have a high glass transition temperature or a melting point, thus contributing to improvement of heat resistance to Joule heat (that may be generated during electroluminescence) and reliability under a high temperature environment. Therefore, an organic light-emitting device including the first compound may have durability during high-temperature storage and driving of the organic light-emitting device.

The second compound represented by Formula 2 may have a triplet energy level of about 2.75 eV, and in some embodiments, when the second compound is used as a host material in an emission layer, reverse energy transition from dopant to host may be prevented or reduced. Accordingly, the light emission efficiency may improve.

Therefore, when the first compound and second compound are combined (e.g., when the first compound and the second compound are both used in the organic layer of an organic light-emitting device), a synergistic effect may occur, thereby improving the balance of electrons and holes. Thus, when an organic light-emitting device includes the first compound and second compound, the device may have long lifespan and high efficiency.

The organic layer 150 may include both the first compound and the second compound. In some embodiments, the first compound may be included in the emission layer of the organic layer 150, and the second compound may be included in the electron transport region, which is between the emission layer and the second electrode. In some embodiments, both the first compound and second compound may be included in the emission layer of the organic layer 150, and further, the second compound may be included in the electron transport region, which is between the emission layer and the second electrode. Here, the second compound included in the emission layer and the second compound included in the electron transport region may be identical to or different from each other.

When both the first compound and second compound are included in the emission layer, a region of the emission layer where holes and electrons combine with each other may be shifted toward an interface between the emission layer and the electron transport region, thereby improving the lifespan of the organic light-emitting device.

In some embodiments, the emission layer in the organic layer 150 may include a host and a dopant.

The weight ratio of the host to the dopant in the emission layer may be in a range of about 55:45 to about 95:5, and in some embodiments, about 60:40 to about 90:10, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

The weight ratio of the first compound to the second compound may be in a range of about 10:90 to about 90:10, and in some embodiments, about 20:80 to about 80:20. According to another embodiment, the weight ratio of the first compound to the second compound may be in a range of about 20:70 to about 80:10, and in some embodiments, about 20:70 to about 75:15. When the weight ratio of the first compound to the second compound is within any of these ranges, a hole-electron transport balance in the emission layer may be effective (or suitable).

The thickness of the emission layer may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, and in some embodiments, about 200 Å to about 600 Å. When the thickness of the emission layer is within any of these ranges, excellent (or suitable) light-emission characteristics may be achieved without a substantial increase in driving voltage.

The host in the emission layer may include the first compound and the second compound, and the dopant may include a phosphorescent dopant and/or a fluorescent dopant.

In some embodiments, the phosphorescent dopant may include an organometallic compound including at least one selected from iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), osmium (Os), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), europium (Eu), terbium (Tb), thulium (Tm), rhodium (Rh), and copper (Cu).

The electron transport region may include at least one selected from a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, the electron transport region may have a structure of electron transport layer/electron injection layer or a structure of hole blocking layer/electron transport layer/electron injection layer, wherein the layers of each structure are sequentially stacked over (e.g., on) the emission layer in the stated order, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

The electron transport region may include a hole blocking layer. When the emission layer includes a phosphorescent dopant, the hole blocking layer may be formed to prevent or reduce the diffusion of excitons or holes into an electron transport layer.

When the electron transport region includes a hole blocking layer, the hole blocking layer may be formed over the emission layer by using one or more suitable methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, an LB method, ink-jet printing, laser printing, and/or LITI. When the hole blocking layer is formed by vacuum deposition and/or spin coating, deposition and coating conditions for the hole blocking layer may be determined by referring to the deposition and coating conditions for the hole injection layer.

The hole blocking layer may include, for example, at least one selected from BCP and Bphen, but embodiments are not limited thereto:

The thickness of the hole blocking layer may be in a range of about 20 Å to about 1,000 Å, for example, about 30 Å to about 300 Å. When the thickness of the hole blocking layer is within any of these ranges, excellent (or suitable) hole blocking characteristics may be achieved without a substantial increase in driving voltage.

The electron transport region may include an electron transport layer. The electron transport layer may be formed over (e.g., on) the emission layer or the hole blocking layer by using one or more suitable methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, an LB method, ink-jet printing, laser printing, and/or LITI. When the electron transport layer is formed by using vacuum deposition and/or spin coating, vacuum deposition and coating conditions for the electron transport layer may be determined by referring to the vacuum deposition and coating conditions for the hole injection layer.

Example 1

A 15 Ohms per square centimeter (Ω/cm², 500 Å) ITO glass substrate (Corning Inc.) was cut to a size of 50 millimeters (mm)×50 mm×0.5 mm, and then, sonicated by using isopropyl alcohol and pure water, for 10 minutes respectively, and cleaned by exposure to ultraviolet rays with ozone for 10 minutes. 2-TNATA (available from Duksan High Metal Co., Ltd) was vacuum-deposited on the glass substrate to form a hole injection layer having a thickness of about 600 Å. Subsequently, 4,4′-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (NPB, available from Duksan High Metal Co., Ltd) was vacuum-deposited on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of about 300 Å.

Compound 2b-1 (as a first host) and Compound 1 (as a second host), collectively as a host, and Ir(ppy)₃(available from Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, hereinafter, referred to as “PD1”) as a dopant were co-deposited on the hole transport layer at a weight ratio of about 75:15:10 to form an emission layer having a thickness of about 400 Å. Alq₃was deposited on the emission layer to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of about 300 Å.
