CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of and the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0165811, filed in the Republic of Korea on Nov. 26, 2021, which is expressly incorporated hereby in its entirety into the present application.

BACKGROUND
Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to an organic light emitting diode. For example, an organic light emitting diode that may have improved luminous efficiency and luminous lifespan and an organic light emitting device including thereof.

Discussion of the Related Art

A flat display device including an organic light emitting diode (OLED) has attracted attention as a display device that can replace a liquid crystal display device (LCD). The OLED can be formed as a thin organic film less than 2000 Å and the electrode configurations can implement unidirectional or bidirectional images. 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 advantageous 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, examples of phosphorescent material include metal complexes, which have a short luminous lifespan for commercial use. Therefore, there remains a need to develop a luminous compound or an organic light emitting diode that may enhance luminous efficiency and luminous lifespan.

SUMMARY

Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an organic light emitting diode and an organic light emitting device that substantially obviate one or more of the problems due to the limitations and disadvantages of the related art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to aspects of the disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

Advantages and features of the present disclosure, and implementation methods thereof will be clarified through following example embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present disclosure may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the example embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure may be sufficiently thorough and complete to assist those skilled in the art to fully understand the scope of the present disclosure. Further, the protected scope of the present disclosure is defined by claims and their equivalents.

The shapes, sizes, ratios, angles, numbers, and the like, which are illustrated in the drawings to describe various example embodiments of the present disclosure, are merely given by way of example. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the illustrations in the drawings. The same or similar elements are designated by the same reference numerals throughout the specification unless otherwise specified.

In the following description, where the detailed description of the relevant known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure an important point of the present disclosure, a detailed description of such known function of configuration may be omitted.

In the present specification, where the terms “comprise,” “have,” “include,” and the like are used, one or more other elements may be added unless the term, such as “only,” is used. An element described in the singular form is intended to include a plurality of elements, and vice versa, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

In construing an element, the element is to be construed as including an error or tolerance range even where no explicit description of such an error or tolerance range is provided.

In the description of the various embodiments of the present disclosure, where positional relationships are described, for example, where the positional relationship between two parts is described using “on,” “over,” “under,” “above,” “below,” “beside,” “next,” or the like, one or more other parts may be located between the two parts unless a more limiting term, such as “immediate(ly),” “direct(ly),” or “close(ly)” is used. For example, where an element or layer is disposed “on” another element or layer, a third layer or element may be interposed therebetween.

In describing a temporal relationship, when the temporal order is described as, for example, “after,” “subsequent,” “next,” or “before,” a case which is not continuous may be included unless a more limiting term, such as “just,” “immediate(ly),” or “direct(ly),” is used.

Although the terms “first,” “second,” and the like may be used herein to describe various elements, the elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used only to identify one element from another. For example, a first element could be termed a second element, and similarly, a second element could be termed a first element, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

Although the terms “first,” “second,” A, B, (a), (b), and the like may be used herein to describe various elements, the elements should not be interpreted to be limited by these terms as they are not used to define a particular order, precedence, or number of the corresponding elements. These terms are used only to identify one element from another.

The expression that an element or layer is “connected” to another element or layer means the element or layer can not only be directly connected to another element or layer, but also be indirectly connected or adhered to another element or layer with one or more intervening elements or layers “disposed,” or “interposed” between the elements or layers, unless otherwise specified.

The term “at least one” should be understood as including any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, the meaning of “at least one of a first element, a second element, and a third element” encompasses the combination of all three listed elements, combinations of any two of the three elements, as well as each individual element, the first element, the second element, and the third element.

Features of various embodiments of the present disclosure may be partially or overall coupled to or combined with each other, and may be variously inter-operated with each other and driven technically as those skilled in the art can sufficiently understand. Embodiments of the present disclosure may be carried out independently from each other, or may be carried out together in a co-dependent relationship.

Hereinafter, example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In adding reference numerals to elements of each of the drawings, although the same elements are illustrated in other drawings, like reference numerals may refer to like elements. Also, for convenience of description, a scale in which each of elements is illustrated in the accompanying drawings may differ from an actual scale. Thus, the illustrated elements are not limited to the specific scale in which they are illustrated in the drawings.

The present disclosure relates to an organic emitting diode where at least one emitting material layer includes an organometallic compound with beneficial optical properties and an organic compound with beneficial charge transportation properties and an organic light emitting device including the diode so that the diode and the device can reduce their driving voltages and maximize their luminous efficiency and luminous lifespan. The diode may be applied to an organic light emitting device such as an organic light emitting display device or an organic light emitting illumination device.

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic circuit diagram of an organic light emitting display device in accordance with the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a gate line GL, a data line DL and power line PL, each of which crosses each other to define a pixel region P, in the organic light emitting display device 100. A switching thin film transistor Ts, a driving thin film transistor Td, a storage capacitor Cst and an organic light emitting diode D are disposed within the pixel region P. The pixel region P may include a red (R) pixel region, a green (G) pixel region and a blue (B) pixel region. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to such examples.

The switching thin film transistor Ts is connected to the gate line GL and the data line DL. The driving thin film transistor Td and the storage capacitor Cst are connected between the switching thin film transistor Ts and the power line PL. The organic light emitting diode D is connected to the driving thin film transistor Td. When the switching thin film transistor Ts is turned on by a gate signal applied to the gate line GL, a data signal applied to the data line DL is applied to a gate electrode of the driving thin film transistor Td and one electrode of the storage capacitor Cst through the switching thin film transistor Ts.

The driving thin film transistor Td is turned on by the data signal applied to the gate electrode 130 (FIG. 2) so that a current proportional to the data signal is supplied from the power line PL to the organic light emitting diode D through the driving thin film transistor Td. And then, the organic light emitting diode D emits light having a luminance proportional to the current flowing through the driving thin film transistor Td. In this case, the storage capacitor Cst is charged with a voltage proportional to the data signal so that the voltage of the gate electrode in the driving thin film transistor Td is kept constant during one frame. Therefore, the organic light emitting display device can display a desired image.

FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light emitting display device in accordance with an example embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the organic light emitting display device 100 includes a substrate 102, a thin-film transistor Tr on the substrate 102, and an organic light emitting diode D connected to the thin film transistor Tr. As an example, the substrate 102 may include a red pixel region, a green pixel region and a blue pixel region and an organic light emitting diode D in each pixel region. Each of the organic light emitting diode D emits red, green or blue light, respectively, and is located correspondingly in the red pixel region, the green pixel region and the blue pixel region.

The substrate 102 may include, but is not limited to, glass, thin flexible material and/or polymer plastics. For example, the flexible material may be selected from the group, but is not limited to, polyimide (PI), polyethersulfone (PES), polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC) and/or combinations thereof. The substrate 102, on which the thin film transistor Tr and the organic light emitting diode D are arranged, forms an array substrate.

A buffer layer 106 may be disposed on the substrate 102. The thin film transistor Tr may be disposed on the buffer layer 106. The buffer layer 106 may be omitted. A semiconductor layer 110 is disposed on the buffer layer 106. In one example embodiment, the semiconductor layer 110 may include, but is not limited to, oxide semiconductor materials. In this case, a light-shield pattern may be disposed under the semiconductor layer 110, and the light-shield pattern can prevent light from being incident toward the semiconductor layer 110, and thereby, preventing or reducing the semiconductor layer 110 from being degraded by the light. Alternatively, the semiconductor layer 110 may include polycrystalline silicon. In this case, opposite edges of the semiconductor layer 110 may be doped with impurities.

A gate insulating layer 120 including an insulating material is disposed on the semiconductor layer 110. The gate insulating layer 120 may include, but is not limited to, an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide (SiO_x, wherein 0<x≤2) or silicon nitride (SiN_x, wherein 0<x≤2).

A gate electrode 130 made of a conductive material such as a metal is disposed on the gate insulating layer 120 so as to correspond to a center of the semiconductor layer 110. While the gate insulating layer 120 is disposed on a whole area of the substrate 102 as shown in FIG. 2, the gate insulating layer 120 may be patterned identically as the gate electrode 130.

An interlayer insulating layer 140 including an insulating material is disposed on the gate electrode 130 with and covers an entire surface of the substrate 102. The interlayer insulating layer 140 may include, but is not limited to, an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide (SiO_x) or silicon nitride (SiN_x), or an organic insulating material such as benzocyclobutene or photo-acryl.

The interlayer insulating layer 140 has first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 142 and 144 that expose or do not cover a portion of the surface nearer to the opposing ends than to a center of the semiconductor layer 110. The first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 142 and 144 are disposed on opposite sides of the gate electrode 130 and spaced apart from the gate electrode 130. The first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 142 and 144 are formed within the gate insulating layer 120 in FIG. 2. Alternatively, the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 142 and 144 may be formed only within the interlayer insulating layer 140 when the gate insulating layer 120 is patterned identically as the gate electrode 130.

A source electrode 152 and a drain electrode 154, which are made of conductive material such as a metal, are disposed on the interlayer insulating layer 140. The source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154 are spaced apart from each other on opposing sides of the gate electrode 130, and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer 110 through the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes 142 and 144, respectively.

The semiconductor layer 110, the gate electrode 130, the source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154 constitute the thin film transistor Tr, which acts as a driving element. The thin film transistor Tr in FIG. 2 has a coplanar structure in which the gate electrode 130, the source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154 are disposed on the semiconductor layer 110. Alternatively, the thin film transistor Tr may have an inverted staggered structure in which a gate electrode is disposed under a semiconductor layer and a source and drain electrodes are disposed on the semiconductor layer. In this case, the semiconductor layer may include amorphous silicon.

The gate line GL and the data line DL, which cross each other to define a pixel region P, and a switching element Ts, which is connected to the gate line GL and the data line DL, may be further formed in the pixel region P. The switching element Ts is connected to the thin film transistor Tr, which is a driving element. In addition, the power line PL is spaced apart in parallel from the gate line GL or the data line DL. The thin film transistor Tr may further include a storage capacitor Cst configured to constantly keep a voltage of the gate electrode 130 for one frame.

A passivation layer 160 is disposed on the source and drain electrodes 152 and 154. The passivation layer 160 covers the thin film transistor Tr on the whole substrate 102. The passivation layer 160 has a flat top surface and a drain contact hole 162 that exposes or does not cover the drain electrode 154 of the thin film transistor Tr. While the drain contact hole 162 is disposed on the second semiconductor layer contact hole 144, it may be spaced apart from the second semiconductor layer contact hole 144.

The organic light emitting diode (OLED) D includes a first electrode 210 that is disposed on the passivation layer 160 and connected to the drain electrode 154 of the thin film transistor Tr. The OLED D further includes an emissive layer 230 and a second electrode 220 each of which is disposed sequentially on the first electrode 210.

The first electrode 210 is disposed in each pixel region. The first electrode 210 may be an anode and include conductive material having relatively high work function value. For example, the first electrode 210 may include, but is not limited to, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). More particularly, the first electrode 210 may include indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium cerium oxide (ICO), aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO), and/or the like.

In one example embodiment, when the organic light emitting display device 100 is a bottom-emission type, the first electrode 210 may have a single-layered structure of the TCO. Alternatively, when the organic light emitting display device 100 is a top-emission type, a reflective electrode or a reflective layer may be disposed under the first electrode 210. For example, the reflective electrode or the reflective layer may include, but is not limited to, silver (Ag) or aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. In the OLED D of the top-emission type, the first electrode 210 may have a triple-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO or ITO/APC/ITO.

In addition, a bank layer 164 is disposed on the passivation layer 160 in order to cover edges of the first electrode 210. The bank layer 164 exposes or does not cover a center of the first electrode 210 corresponding to each pixel region. The bank layer 164 may be omitted.

When the organic light emitting display device 100 is a top-emission type, the second electrode 220 is thin so as to have light-transmissive (semi-transmissive) property.

In addition, an encapsulation film 170 may be disposed on the second electrode 220 in order to prevent or reduce outer moisture from penetrating into the organic light emitting diode D. 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. The encapsulation film 170 may be omitted.

A polarizing plate may be attached onto the encapsulation film to reduce reflection of external light. For example, the polarizing plate may be a circular polarizing plate. When the organic light emitting display device 100 is a bottom-emission type, the polarizer may be disposed under the substrate 102. Alternatively, when the organic light emitting display device 100 is a top-emission type, the polarizer may be disposed on 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 first electrode 210 may be an anode that provides a hole into the EML 340. The first electrode 210 may include a conductive material having a relatively high work function value, for example, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). In an example embodiment, the first electrode 210 may include, but is not limited to, ITO, IZO, ITZO, SnO, ZnO, ICO, AZO, and the like.

When the electron transporting material 362 having the structure of Formulae 13 to 16 is applied into the ETL 360, electrons can be injected rapidly into the EML 340.

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 example embodiment, 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, BaF₂and the like, and/or an organometallic compound such as Liq, lithium benzoate, sodium stearate, and the like.

Alternatively, the EIL 370 may be omitted.

In an alternative aspect, the electron transporting material 362 and the electron injection material may be admixed to form a single ETL-ETL. The electron transporting material 362 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 example embodiment, 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, N,N′-bis[4-[bis(3-methylphenyl)amino]phenyl]-N,N′-diphenyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine (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 example embodiment, 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.

For example, the HBL 350 may include a compound having a relatively low HOMO energy level compared to the luminescent materials in EML 340. The HBL 350 may include, but is not limited to, tris-(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq₃), Bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato-N1,O8)-(1,1′-biphenyl-4-olato)aluminum (BAlq), lithium quinolate (Liq), 2-biphenyl-4-yl-5-(4-t-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD), spiro-PBD, 2,9-Dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenaathroline (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, diphenyl-4-tripehnylsilyl-phenylphosphine oxide (TSPO1) and combination thereof.

Since the organometallic compound having the structure of Formulae 1 to 6 has a rigid chemical conformation, it can show beneficial 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 organometallic compound to control its luminescent color.

In addition, the EML 340 may further include the first host 344 with beneficial hole transportation property and the second host 346 with beneficial electron transportation property. As charges and exciton energies are transferred rapidly from the first host 344 of the biscarbazole-based compound 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.

Moreover, the OLED D1 includes the HTL 320 including the hole transporting material 322 with beneficial hole transportation property and the ETL 360 including the electron transporting material 362 with beneficial electron transportation property disposed adjacently to the EML 340. Accordingly, holes and electrons can be injected into the EML 340 from the HTL 320 and the ETL 360.

Alternatively, the OLED may include multiple emitting parts (see, FIGS. 5 and 6) among which at least one includes the dopant 342, the first host 344, and optionally, the second host 346.

Example 1 (Ex. 1): Fabrication of OLED

An organic light emitting diode was fabricated applying GHH2 of Formula 8 as a first host, GEH1 of Formula 10 as a second host and the Compound 251 in Synthesis Example 15 as a dopant into an emitting material layer (EML), HTL1 of Formula 12 in a hole transport layer (HTL) and ETL1 of Formula 16 in an electron transport layer (ETL). A glass substrate onto which ITO (100 nm) was coated as a thin film was washed and ultrasonically cleaned by solvent such as isopropyl alcohol, acetone and dried at 100° C. oven. The substrate was transferred to a vacuum chamber for depositing emissive layer. Subsequently, an emissive layer and a cathode were deposited by evaporation from a heating boat under about 5-7×10⁻⁷Torr with setting deposition rate of 1 Å/s as the following order:

A hole injection layer (HIL) (HI-1 below (NPNPB), 100 nm thickness); a hole transport layer (HTL) (HTL1, 350 nm thickness); an EML (Host (first host:second host=7:3 weight ratio, 90 wt %), Dopant (Compound 251, 10 wt %), 30 nm); an ETL (ETL1, 350 nm thickness); EIL (Liq, 200 nm thickness); and a cathode (Al, 100 nm thickness).

The HIL material (HI-1) and the EIL material (Liq) are illustrated in the following:

As indicated in Table 34, in the OLEDs in which the EVIL included the host and the dopant, the UTL included the spiro-bifluorene-based organic compound and the ETL included the benzimidazole-based organic compound of the present disclosure, the driving voltage was reduced and EQE and luminous lifespan (LT₉₅) were greatly improved.

In summary, as shown in Tables 1-34, it may be possible to implement an OLED that may have a lower driving voltage and improved luminous efficiency and luminous lifespan by introducing the host and the dopant in the EVIL, the spiro-bifluorene-based compound in the UTL and the benzimidazole-based compound in the ETL in accordance with the present disclosure.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made in the present disclosure without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover the modifications and variations of the present disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims.
