BACKGROUND

1. Field

One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to organic light-emitting devices.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emitting devices that have advantages such as wide viewing angles, excellent contrast, quick response time, and excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and can provide multicolored images.

An OLED has a structure including a first electrode, a hole transport region, an emission layer (EML), an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially stacked on a substrate. Holes injected from the first electrode move to the EML via the hole transport region, and electrons injected from the second electrode move to the EML via the electron transport region. Carriers such as holes and electrons recombine in the EML to generate excitons. When the excitons drop from an excited state to a ground state, light is emitted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in more detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects of the present description. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list. Further, the use of “may” when describing embodiments of the present invention refers to “one or more embodiments of the present invention.”

An organic light-emitting device illustrated in FIG. 1 has a structure in which a first electrode, a hole transport region, an emission layer (EML), a first buffer layer, a second buffer layer, an electron transport layer (ETL), and a second electrode are sequentially stacked.

A substrate may be additionally disposed on the bottom of the first electrode or on the top of the second electrode. The substrate may be a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate having strong mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water resistance.

The first electrode may be formed on the substrate by depositing or sputtering a first electrode-forming material onto a surface of the substrate. When the first electrode is an anode, a material having a high work function may be used as the first electrode-forming material to facilitate hole injection. The first electrode may be a reflective electrode or a transmission electrode. Materials having excellent transparency and conductivity, such as Indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO₂), or zinc oxide (ZnO), may be used as the first electrode-forming material. In other embodiments, at least one of magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag), and the like may be selected as the first electrode-forming material to form the first electrode, which Is a semi-transmission electrode or a reflective electrode.

The first electrode may have a single layer or a multi-layer structure including a plurality of layers. For example, the first electrode may have a three-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but the first electrode is not limited thereto.

The hole transport region is disposed on the first electrode.

The hole transport region may include at least one of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole-transporting layer (HTL), a buffer layer, and an electron-blocking layer (EBL).

The hole transport region may have a structure of a single layer formed of a single material, a single layer formed of a plurality of different materials, or a plurality of layers formed of a plurality of different materials.

For example, the hole transport region may have a single layer structure formed of a plurality of different materials, or a structure of HIL/HTL, HIL/HTL/buffer layer, HIL/buffer layer, HTU buffer layer, HIL/HTL/EBL, sequentially stacked on the first electrode, but the structure is not limited thereto.

When the hole transport region includes the HIL, the HIL may be formed by various methods such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB), inkjet printing, laser printing, or laser Induced thermal Imaging (LITI), and the HIL may be formed on (e.g., directly on) the first electrode.

When the HIL is formed by using vacuum deposition, vacuum deposition conditions may vary according to the compound that is used to form the HIL, and the desired structure and thermal properties of the HIL to be formed. For example, vacuum deposition may be performed at a temperature of about 100° C. to about 500° C., a pressure of about 10⁸ torr to about 10³ torr, and a deposition rate of about 0.01 Å/sec to about 100 Å/sec. However, the deposition conditions are not limited thereto.

When the HIL is formed by using spin coating, the coating conditions may vary according to the compound that is used to form the HIL, and the desired structure and thermal properties of the HIL to be formed. For example, the coating rate may be in a range of about 2000 rpm to about 5000 rpm, and a temperature at which heat treatment is performed to remove a solvent after coating may be in a range of about 80° C. to about 200° C. However, the coating conditions are not limited thereto.

When the hole transport region includes an HTL, various methods such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, LB, inkjet printing, laser printing, or LITI may be used to form the HTL on the first electrode or the HIL. When vacuum deposition or spin coating is used form the HTL, deposition and coating conditions of the HTL may be as described in the deposition and the coating conditions of the HIL described above.

The hole transport region may include at least one of m-MTDATA, TDATA, 2-TNATA, NPB, β-NPB, TPD, Spiro-TPD, Spiro-NPB, α-NPB, TAPC, HMTPD, 4,4′,4″-tris(N-carbazolyl group)triphenyl groupamine) (TCTA), Polyaniline/Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (Pani/DBSA sulfonic acid), Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/Poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), Polyaniline/Camphor sulfonic acid (Panl/CSA), (Polyaniline)/Poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PANI/PSS), a compound represented by Formula 201 below, and a compound represented by Formula 202 below:

EXAMPLES

Example 1

As an anode, a Corning 15 Ω/cm² (1200 Å) ITO glass substrate was cut into a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.7 mm, and was ultrasonically washed using isopropyl alcohol and pure water for 5 minutes each, followed by Irradiation of UV light and exposure to ozone for cleaning for about 30 minutes. Then, the glass substrate was loaded onto a vacuum deposition device.

After depositing 2-TNATA on the ITO layer to form an HIL having a thickness of 600 Å, 4,4′-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (NPB) was deposited on the HIL to form an HTL having a thickness of 300 Å.

Then, 9,10-di-naphthalene-2-yl-anthracene group (ADN) and 4,4′-bis[2-(4-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl)vinyl]biphenyl (DPAVBi) were co-deposited on the HTL in a weight ratio of 98:2 to form an EML in a thickness of 300 Å.

After depositing Compound 7 (a first buffer material) on the EML to form a first buffer layer, Compound 7 (a second buffer material) and Compound ET1 (a second electron transport material) were co-deposited on the first buffer layer to form a second buffer layer, then Compound ET1 (a first electron transport material) and Compound ET-D1 were co-deposited on the second buffer layer to form an ETL.

A total thickness of the first buffer layer, the second buffer layer, and the ETL was 350 Å.

LiF was deposited on the ETL to form an EIL in a thickness of 10 Å, and then Al was deposited on the EIL to form a second electrode (cathode) in a thickness of 3000 Å to manufacture an OLED.

Comparative Example A

An OLED was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that Compound A was used as the first buffer material and that only Compound B was deposited on the first buffer layer without forming a second buffer layer to form an ETL.

Comparative Example B

An OLED was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that BCP and CBP (weight ratio of 1:1) were co-deposited instead of the first buffer layer and the second buffer layer to form a first mixture layer (50 Å), then BCP was deposited on the first mixture layer to sequentially form a first single layer (50 Å), and then the ETL was formed on the first single layer.

Evaluation Example 1

Brightness and efficiency of the OLEDs manufactured in Example 1 and Comparative Examples A and B were evaluated by using a PR650 Spectroscan Source Measurement Unit (available from PhotoResearch) and the results thereof are shown in FIG. 2.

According to FIG. 2, it may be concluded that the OLED manufactured in Example 1 did not show any change in efficiency under low grayscale; however, the OLEDs manufactured in Comparative Examples A and B showed changes in efficiency under low grascale (see areas represented as “A” and “B” in FIG. 2).

As described above, according to the one or more of the above embodiments of the present invention, the OLED may exhibit high definition light-emission under low grayscale without changes in efficiency.

It should be understood that the example embodiments described herein should be considered in a descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
