This application claims the priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0165654, filed in the Republic of Korea on Nov. 26, 2021, which is expressly incorporated hereby in its entirety into the present application.
The present disclosure relates to an organic light emitting diode, and more specifically, to an organic light emitting diode having improved luminous efficiency and luminous lifespan and an organic light emitting device including thereof.
An organic light emitting diode (OLED) among a flat display device used widely has come into the spotlight as a display device replacing rapidly a liquid crystal display device (LCD). The OLED can be formed as a thin organic film less than 2000 Å and can implement unidirectional or bidirectional images by electrode configurations. Also, the OLED can be formed even on a flexible transparent substrate such as a plastic substrate so that a flexible or a foldable display device can be realized with ease using the OLED. In addition, the OLED can be driven at a lower voltage and the OLED has excellent high color purity compared to the LCD.
Since fluorescent material uses only singlet exciton energy in the luminous process, the related art fluorescent material shows low luminous efficiency. On the contrary, phosphorescent material can show high luminous efficiency since it uses triplet exciton energy as well as singlet exciton energy in the luminous process. However, metal complex, representative phosphorescent material, has short luminous lifespan for commercial use. Therefore, there remains a need to develop a luminous compound or an organic light emitting diode that can enhance luminous efficiency and luminous lifespan.

The encapsulation film 170 may have, but is not limited to, a laminated structure of a first inorganic insulating film 172, an organic insulating film 174 and a second inorganic insulating film 176.

Alternatively, when the organic light emitting display device 100 is a top-emission type, the polarizer may be disposed over the encapsulation film 170. In addition, a cover window may be attached to the encapsulation film 170 or the polarizer. In this case, the substrate 102 and the cover window may have a flexible property, thus the organic light emitting display device 100 may be a flexible display device.

The EIL 370 is disposed between the second electrode 220 and the ETL 360, and can improve physical properties of the second electrode 220 and therefore, can enhance the lifetime of the OLED D1. In one exemplary aspect, the EIL 370 may include, but is not limited to, an alkali metal halide or an alkaline earth metal halide such as LiF, CsF, NaF, BaF2 and the like, and/or an organic metal compound such as Liq, lithium benzoate, sodium stearate, and the like. Alternatively, the EIL 370 may be omitted. Each of the ETL 360 and the EIL 370 may independently have a thickness, but is not limited to, about 100 to about 400 nm. Alternatively, the EIL 370 may be omitted.
In an alternative aspect, the electron transport material and the electron injection material may be admixed to form a single ETL-EIL. The electron transport material and the electron injection material may be admixed with, but is not limited to, about 4:1 to about 1:4 by weight, for example, about 2:1 to about 1:2 by weight.
When holes are transferred to the second electrode 220 via the EML 340 and/or electrons are transferred to the first electrode 210 via the EML 340, the OLED D1 may have short lifetime and reduced luminous efficiency. In order to prevent these phenomena, the OLED D1 in accordance with this aspect of the present disclosure may have at least one exciton blocking layer adjacent to the EML 340.
For example, the OLED D1 may include the EBL 330 between the HTL 320 and the EML 340 so as to control and prevent electron transfers. In one exemplary aspect, the EBL 330 may include, but is not limited to, TCTA, Tris[4-(diethylamino)phenyl]amine, N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluorene-2-amine, TAPC, MTDATA, 1,3-bis(carbazol-9-yl)benzene (mCP), 3,3′-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (mCBP), CuPc, DNTPD, TDAPB, DCDPA, 2,8-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene and combination thereof.
In addition, the OLED D1 may further include the HBL 350 as a second exciton blocking layer between the EML 340 and the ETL 360 so that holes cannot be transferred from the EML 340 to the ETL 360. In one exemplary aspect, the HBL 350 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of oxadiazole-based compounds, triazole-based compounds, phenanthroline-based compounds, benzoxazole-based compounds, benzothiazole-based compounds, benzimidazole-based compounds, and triazine-based compounds each of which can be used in the ETL 360.

The HBL 350 may include, but is not limited to, Alq3, BAlq, Liq, PBD, spiro-PBD, BCP, Bis-4,5-(3,5-di-3-pyridylphenyl)-2-methylpyrimidine (B3PYMPM), bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether oxide (DPEPO), 9-(6-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)pyridine-3-yl)-9H-3,9′-bicarbazole, TSPO1 and combination thereof.
Since the organic metal compound having the structure of Formulae 1 to 6 has a rigid chemical conformation, it can show excellent color purity and luminous lifespan with maintaining its stable chemical conformation in the luminous process. Changing the structure of the bidentate ligands and substituents to the ligand allows the organic metal compound to control its luminescent color.
In addition, the EML 340 may further include the first host 344 with excellent hole transportation property and the second host 346 with excellent electron transportation property. As charges and exciton energies are transferred rapidly from the first host 344 of the (hetero) aryl-amine-based compound with the fluorenyl moiety and the second host 346 of the azine-based compound to the dopant 342, the OLED D1 can decrease its driving voltage and improve its luminous efficiency and luminous lifespan.

In another exemplary aspect, an organic light emitting display device can implement full-color including white color.
