Field of the Disclosure
The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an organic light emitting display apparatus (OLED apparatus), and more particularly, to an OLED apparatus which facilitates to improve properties of a color change rate in color coordinates for white light by controlling a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a main peak wavelength of a light emitted from each of a plurality of light emitting devices.
Discussion of the Related Art
An OLED apparatus is a next generation display apparatus having self-luminance properties. In more detail, the OLED apparatus is a display apparatus for displaying an image by producing exciton through a recombination of hole and electron, which are injected from anode and cathode, in a light emitting layer, and generating a light with a specific wavelength by an energy emission of the produced exciton.
Unlike a liquid crystal display apparatus (LCD apparatus), the OLED apparatus does not require an additional light source. Thus, the OLED apparatus has light weight and thin profile. In comparison to the LCD apparatus, the OLED apparatus has various advantages of wide viewing angle, good contrast ratio, rapid response speed and low power consumption, whereby the OLED apparatus has attracted great attention as the next generation display apparatus.
The OLED apparatus may include a plurality of light emitting devices which emit lights with different colors. Each of the plurality of light emitting devices includes an anode, a cathode, and a patterned emission layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. The patterned emission layer may be separately disposed on every sub pixel so as to emit lights of different colors every sub pixel. For example, if the OLED apparatus includes red, green, and blue light emitting devices, the red light emitting device includes a red patterned emission layer separately disposed in a red sub pixel, the green light emitting device includes a green patterned emission layer separately disposed in a green sub pixel, and the blue light emitting device includes a blue patterned emission layer separately disposed in a blue sub pixel.
A plurality of light emitting device may have different stack structures in consideration of the properties of each patterned emission layer separately disposed on every sub pixel, for example, material or wavelength of the emitted light. In more detail, each of the plurality of light emitting devices may have structure and thickness determined in consideration of a micro-cavity distance between two electrodes in accordance with the wavelength of light emitted from each patterned emission layer. Herein, the micro-cavity indicates that a light emission efficiency is improved by amplification and constructive interference of the light emitted from the patterned emission layer through repetitive reflection and re-reflection between the two electrodes. For example, if the OLED apparatus includes red, green, and blue light emitting devices, the stack structure and thickness may be differently provided in the respective red, green, and blue light emitting devices in accordance with the properties of each of the red patterned emission layer, the green patterned emission layer, and the blue patterned emission layer separately disposed in or on every sub pixel.
If each of the plurality of light emitting devices has the stack structure optimized for each patterned emission layer, the light emission efficiency of the OLED apparatus can be largely improved by the aforementioned micro-cavity effect. In other words, an intensity of the light emitted from each light emitting device is amplified at a specific wavelength by the micro-cavity effect, thereby improving a luminance of the OLED apparatus.
However, in according with the increase of the intensity of the light emitted from each light emitting device by the micro-cavity effect, the properties of a viewing angle of the OLED apparatus may be largely lowered. This will be described in detail. If the intensity of the light emitted from each light emitting device is increased by the micro-cavity effect, a color shift in accordance with the viewing angle of the OLED apparatus is also increased, whereby a color seen by a user is changed in accordance with the viewing angle. For instance, if white light of the OLED apparatus is obtained by mixing the lights with the different colors emitted from the plurality of light emitting devices, a color deviation of the white light in accordance with the viewing angle is also increased by the color shift of light respectively emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices, thereby degrading a display quality of the OLED apparatus.
In order to overcome or address problems and limitations associated with the color deviation of the white light in accordance with the viewing angle, the present inventor has recognized that it would be necessary to optimize a specific relation between each main peak wavelength of the lights emitted from the plurality of light emitting devices. Through various experiments, the present inventor proposes an OLED apparatus which facilitates to improve the properties of a color change rate in the color coordinates for the white light by optimizing a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a main peak wavelength of light respectively emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices.
To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of embodiments of the disclosure, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided an OLED apparatus which facilitates to reduce a color deviation of white light in accordance with a viewing angle by controlling a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a main peak wavelength of light emitted from each of a plurality of light emitting devices.
An aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure is directed to provide an OLED apparatus which facilitates to reduce a color deviation of white light in accordance with a viewing angle by controlling a FWHM of a main peak wavelength of light emitted from each of a plurality of light emitting devices.

A bank 230 is provided to divide the sub pixel (SP), and the bank 230 covers an end of the anode 400. Referring to
Each of the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) included in the OLED apparatus 1000 includes the anode 400, the cathode 600, and the light emitting unit 500 disposed between the anode 400 and the cathode 600. The light emitting unit 500 indicates all layers disposed between the anode 400 and the cathode 600, or a stack structure of all layers disposed between the anode 400 and the cathode 600.
Referring to
The plurality of anodes 400R, 400G, and 400B are respectively overlapped with the red sub pixel (RSP), the green sub pixel (GSP), and the blue sub pixel (BSP), wherein each of the plurality of anodes 400R, 400G, and 400B is separately disposed on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP). The plurality of anodes 400 are electrodes for supplying or transmitting holes to the patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B, and the plurality of anodes 400 are connected with the source electrode 330 of each thin film transistor 300, but not limited to this structure. According to the kind of thin film transistor 300, the anode 400 may be connected with the drain electrode 340. The anode 400 is separately disposed on every sub pixel, whereby the anode 400 may be referred to as a patterned electrode.
Each of the plurality of anodes 400R, 400G, and 400B may include a reflection layer for smoothly reflecting the light (R, G, and B) emitted from the light emitting unit 500R, 500G, and 500B to an upper direction (or a direction passing through the cathode 600). For example, the anode 400 may be formed in a dual-layered structure of a transparent layer and a reflection layer. The transparent layer supplies or transmits the hole to the light emitting unit 500, and the reflection layer reflects the light (R, G, and B) emitted from the light emitting unit 500. According to another example, the anode 400 may be formed in a three-layered structure of a transparent layer, a reflection layer, and another transparent layer. In this case, the transparent layer may be formed of TCO (transparent conductive oxide) material such as ITO (indium tin oxide) or IZO (indium zinc oxide), and the reflection layer may be formed of a metal material such as copper (Cu), argentums (Ag), and palladium (Pd). According to another example, the anode 400 may be formed of a single-layered structure of a material or structure having the properties for supplying or transmitting the hole to the light emitting unit 500 and reflecting the light (R, G, and B) emitted from the light emitting unit 500.

The cathode 600 is an electrode for supplying or transmitting the electron to the patterned emission layer 530R, 530G, and 530B of the light emitting unit 500R, 500G, and 500B. The cathode 600 has properties of transparency to pass the light (R, G, and B) of the light emitting unit 500R, 500G, and 500B therethrough. For example, the cathode 600 may be formed of thin metal material, TCO (transparent conductive oxide) material, such as ITO (indium tin oxide) or IZO (indium zinc oxide). The cathode 600 is shared by the plurality of sub pixels (RSP, GSP, and BSP) in common, whereby the cathode 600 may be referred to as a common electrode.
The hole transport layer 510 is disposed on the plurality of anodes 400R, 400G, and 400B over the plurality of sub pixels (RSP, GSP, and BSP). The hole transport layer 510 transmits the hole from the anode 400 to the patterned emission layer 530R, 530G, and 530B. The hole transport layer 510 may be formed of TPD(N,N′-diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-bi-phenyl-4,4′-diamine) or NPB(N,N′-di(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N′-diphenyl-benzidine), but not limited to these materials.
The hole transport layer 510 may extend on the plurality of anodes 400R, 400G, and 400B respectively overlapped with the red sub pixel (RSP), the green sub pixel (GSP), and the blue sub pixel (BSP). The hole transport layer 510 may be formed by the use of common mask with open areas corresponding to all sub pixels (RSP, GSP, and BSP). The hole transport layer 510 may be deposited in the same structure for all sub pixels (RSP, GSP, and BSP) without an individual pattern on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP). That is, the hole transport layer 510 is connected or disposed with an extension without disconnection from one sub pixel to the neighboring sub pixel so that the hole transport layer 510 is shared by the plurality of sub pixels.
The plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) of the OLED apparatus 1000 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may have a patterned emission layer structure. In detail, each of the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) includes each of the patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B between each of the anodes 400R, 400G, and 400B and the cathode 600. The patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B are separately disposed on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP). Referring to
The patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B are light emitting layers which emit the light of the different colors, and the patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B are divided on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP). The patterned emission layer 530R, 530G, and 530B may have the same size as that of each sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP), or the patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B may be disconnected between each of the neighboring sub pixels (RSP, GSP, and BSP) even though they may not have the same size. In this case, it may be referred to as the patterned emission layer 530R, 530G, and 530B disposed on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP), or the patterned emission layer 530R, 530G, and 530B separately disposed on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP). For example, as shown in
The plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) may be formed of the light emitting units 500R, 500G, and 500B with the different stack structures in consideration of the properties, for example, emitting light of wavelength or material and etc., of the patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B respectively disposed on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP). In more detail, the light emitting unit 500R of the red light emitting device (R_ED) may have structure and thickness determined in consideration of a micro-cavity distance between the anode 400R and the cathode 600 in consideration of a wavelength of light emitted from the red patterned emission layer 530R. Herein, the micro-cavity indicates that light emission efficiency is improved by amplification and constructive interference of the light emitted from the patterned emission layer 530R, 530G, and 530B through repetitive reflection and re-reflection between the two electrodes 400 and 600.
Referring to
The patterned hole transport layers 520R and 520G optimize the micro-cavity distances of the red light emitting device (R_ED) and the green light emitting device (G_ED), and also smoothly transmit the hole from the anodes 400R and 400G to the respective patterned emission layers 530R and 530G. The patterned hole transport layer 520R and 520G may be TPD(N,N′-diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-bi-phenyl-4,4′-diamine) or NPB(N,N′-di(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N′-diphenyl-benzidine), but not limited to these materials. According to a design, the patterned hole transport layers 520R and 520G and the hole transport layer 510 may be formed of the same material.
The electron transport layer 540 is disposed on the patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B over the plurality of sub pixels (RSP, GSP, and BSP). The electron transport layer 540 transmits the electron from the cathode 600 to the patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B. For example, the electron transport layer 540 may be formed of PBD(2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole),TAZ(3-(4-biphenyl)-4-phenyl-5-tertbutylphenyl-1,2,4-triazole), Liq(8-hydroxyquinolinolato-lithium),BAlq(Bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolate)-4-(phenylphenolato)aluminium), TPBi(2,2′,2′-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl) -tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole), and etc., but not limited to these materials.
The electron transport layer 540 may extend on the patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B respectively overlapped with the red sub pixel RSP, the green sub pixel GSP, and the blue sub pixel BSP. The electron transport layer 540 may be formed by the use of common mask with open areas corresponding to all sub pixels (RSP, GSP, and BSP). The electron transport layer 540 may be deposited in the same structure for all sub pixels (RSP, GSP, and BSP) without an individual pattern on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP). That is, the electron transport layer 540 is connected or disposed with an extension without disconnection from one sub pixel to the neighboring sub pixel so that the electron transport layer 540 is shared by the plurality of sub pixels.
According to a design, each of the red light emitting device (R_ED), the green light emitting device (G_ED), and the blue light emitting device (B_ED) may further include at least one among a hole injection layer, an electron injection layer, a hole blocking layer, and an electron blocking layer. In the same way as the patterned emission layer 530R, 530G, and 530B, according to a design, the hole transport layer 510 and the electron transport layer 540 may be separately disposed on every sub pixel (RSP, GSP, and BSP).
White light is obtained by mixing the light (R, G, and B) emitted from the red light emitting device (R_ED), the green light emitting device (G_ED), and the blue light emitting device (B_ED). In this case, a range of a main peak wavelength of the red light (R) emitted from the red light emitting device (R_ED) or the red light (R) emitted from the OLED apparatus 1000 may be a range from 600 nm to 650 nm. Also, a range of a main peak wavelength of the green light (G) emitted from the green light emitting device (G_ED) or the green light (G) emitted from the OLED apparatus 1000 may be a range from 520 nm to 560 nm. Also, a range of a main peak wavelength of the blue light (B) emitted from the blue light emitting device (B_ED) or the blue light (B) emitted from the OLED apparatus 1000 may be a range from 430 nm to 480 nm.
As described above, the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) of the OLED apparatus 1000 have the stack structure optimized for the respective patterned emission layers 530R, 530G, and 530B, whereby an intensity of light emitted from each light emitting device (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) is amplified at a specific wavelength by the micro-cavity effect, to thereby improve a luminance of the OLED apparatus 1000. However, according as the intensity of light emitted from each light emitting device (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) is increased by the micro-cavity effect, a color shift is also increased in accordance with a viewing angle of the OLED apparatus 1000, whereby a color seen by a user is changed in accordance with a viewing angle. Especially, if the white color is obtained by mixing the light (R, G, and B) emitted from the red light emitting device (R_ED), the green light emitting device (G_ED), and the blue light emitting device (B_ED), a color deviation of the white color becomes large in accordance with a viewing angle by the color shift of light respectively emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED), thereby degrading a picture quality of the OLED apparatus 1000.
In the OLED apparatus 1000 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the color deviation of white light in accordance with a viewing angle of the OLED apparatus 1000 is reduced by optimizing a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main peak wavelength of light respectively emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED).
In detail, in case of the OLED apparatus 1000 including the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) for emitting the light having the different colors, if the sum of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main peak wavelength of the light respectively emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) is 75 nm or more, it is possible to improve the properties of color change rate in the color coordinates for the white light of the OLED apparatus 1000. This will be described in detail with reference to
In the comparative example and the embodiments 1, 2 and 3, a structure of an OLED apparatus may be the same as a structure of the OLED apparatus 1000 shown in

Referring to the comparative example, and the embodiments 1 to 3 of the present disclosure, when the white light is emitted from the OLED apparatus, the sum of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main peak wavelength of the light respectively emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) is 75 nm or more, whereby the color change rate (Δu′v′) of the color coordinates for the white light of the OLED apparatus is 0.030 or less.
If the color change rate (Δu′v′) of the color coordinates for the white light of the OLED apparatus is more than 0.030, a user may sense the color deviation for the white light, that is, a user may sense the color shift in accordance with the change of viewing angle. Accordingly, when the color change rate of the color coordinates for the white light of the OLED apparatus is more than 0.030, it may cause degradation of display quality for the white light of the OLED apparatus in accordance with the change of viewing angle. However, if the color change rate (Δu′v′) of the color coordinates for the white light of the OLED apparatus is about 0.030 or less, the color shift is imperceptible to a user in accordance with the change of viewing angle, whereby it is possible to prevent display quality for the white light of the OLED apparatus from being degraded in accordance with the change of viewing angle. More preferably, when the white light is emitted from the OLED apparatus, the sum of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main peak wavelength of the light emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices (R_ED, G_ED, and B_ED) is 79 nm or less, whereby the color change rate (Δu′v′) of the color coordinates for the white light of the OLED apparatus is 0.026 or less. In this case, the color shift is imperceptible to a user in accordance with the change of viewing angle so that it is possible to overcome a problem of degrading the display quality for the white light of the OLED apparatus in accordance with the change of viewing angle.
To this end, the transmittance of the cathode 600 of the OLED apparatus may have 55% or more with respect to 460 nm, 48% or more with respect to 530 nm, and 39% or more with respect to 620 nm. If the cathode 600 is formed of the metal material, the thickness of the cathode 600 is equal to or less than a value of 180 Å.
Referring to the embodiments 1 to 3 of the present disclosure, the value of each of the full width at half maximum (R_FWHM) of the main peak wavelength (R-peak) of the red light (R) and the full width at half maximum (G_FWHM) of the main peak wavelength (G-peak) of the green light (G) is larger than the value of the full width at half maximum (B_FWHM) of the main peak wavelength (B-peak) of the blue light (B). When the OLED apparatus emits the white light by mixing the red light, the green light and the blue light, the color coordinates (u′v′) of the white light may be formed at a ratio of about 30% of the red light, about 65% of the green light, and about 5% of the blue light. Accordingly, if each full width at half maximum (R-FWHM and G-FWHM) of the red light and the green light, which relatively highly affects on the white light in comparison to the value of the full width at half maximum (B-FWHM) of the blue light, has the large value, the color shift according to the viewing angle of the red light and the green light is more reduced so that the color change rate (Δu′v′) of the color coordinates of the white light according to the viewing angle is also reduced more.
In case of the comparative example, the change of luminance of the white light in the OLED apparatus will be described with reference to
As shown in
When the white light is emitted from the OLED apparatus according to the present disclosure, the sum of the full width at half maximum (R_FWHM, G_FWHM, and B_FWHM) of each of the main peak wavelengths of the light emitted from the red light emitting device, the light emitted from the green light emitting device, and the light emitted from the blue light emitting device is 75 nm or more so that it is possible to improve the properties of color change rate in the color coordinates for the white light of the OLED apparatus. In this case, according as the color change rate of the color coordinates for the white light in accordance with the viewing angle of the OLED apparatus is 0.030 or less, the color deviation for the white light in accordance with the change of viewing angle is reduced, thereby improving the display quality for the white light of the OLED apparatus. The luminance change according to the viewing angle in the OLED apparatuses according to the embodiments 1 to 3 is similar to the luminance change according to the viewing angle in the OLED apparatus according to the comparative example. Accordingly, the OLED apparatus according to the embodiments of the present disclosure facilitates to minimize the change of luminance, and also to improve the properties of color change rate of the color coordinates for the white light in accordance with the viewing angle.
As described above, in case of the OLED apparatus according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the properties of color change rate in the color coordinates for the white light in accordance with the viewing angle may be improved by controlling the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main peak wavelength of the light emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting devices.
Also, in case of the OLED apparatus according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the color change rate in the color coordinates for the white light in accordance with the viewing angle is reduced by optimizing the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main peak wavelength of each of the red light, the green light and the blue light emitted from the OLED apparatus according to the embodiments of the present disclosure so that it is possible to reduce the color deviation for the white light in accordance with the viewing angle, thereby improving the display quality for the white light of the OLED apparatus.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosures. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure covers the modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
