The present disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201810872982.1, filed on Aug. 2, 2018, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and particularly, to an organic light-emitting display panel and a display device.
At present, display technologies have been applied to every aspect of people's daily lives, and accordingly, more and more materials and technologies have been used for display screens. Nowadays, mainstream display screens mainly include liquid crystal display screens and organic light-emitting display panels. Due to the self-luminous property of the organic light-emitting display panel, the most energy-consuming backlight module is omitted compared with the liquid crystal display screen, so that the organic light-emitting display panel has the advantage of being more energy-saving.
However, the organic light-emitting display panel in the related art can display only at a single side, that is, cannot be applied for a scenario which requires display at double sides, for example, a billboard along a road that needs to display images at two opposite sides.
In view of the above, the present disclosure provides an organic light-emitting display panel and a display device, which can be applied for a scenario which requires display at double sides.
In a first aspect of the present disclosure, an organic light-emitting display panel is provided. The organic light-emitting display panel includes a plurality of organic light-emitting components, wherein each of the plurality of organic light-emitting components comprises a stack of a first electrode, a light-emitting layer and a second electrode, the first electrode has a reflectivity of R1, the second electrode has a reflectivity of R2, and for a same one of the plurality of organic light-emitting components, R1 and R2 satisfy:
wherein I1 is a light intensity at a side of the first electrode, I2 is a light intensity at a side of the second electrode, I0 is an intrinsic light intensity of the light-emitting layer, F (R1, R2, λ, X1, L) is a first function associated with R1, R2, 2, X1 and L, F′ (R1, R2, λ, X2, L) is a second function associated with R1, R2, λ, X2 and L, λ is a wavelength of light emitted by the light-emitting layer, X1 is a distance between an exciton recombination center in the light-emitting layer and the first electrode, X2 is a distance between the exciton recombination center in the light-emitting layer and the second electrode, and L is a length of a microcavity between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein X1+X2=L, 5%≤R1≤95%, and 5%≤R2≤95%.
In a second aspect of the present disclosure, a display device is provided. The display device includes any one of the display panel provided in the present disclosure.
With the organic light-emitting display panel and the display device in the embodiments of the present disclosure, on the one hand, since each of the first electrode and the second electrode in the organic light-emitting component is a semi-transparent electrode, a microcavity is formed between the two electrodes to enhance a light intensity and to realize emitting light at double sides; on the other hand, by determining reflectivity of the first electrode and the second electrode, the difference in the light intensity of the double-sided light is ensured to be small, and the display effect is further improved.
In order to more clearly illustrate technical solutions of embodiments of the present disclosure or in the related art, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments in the related art are briefly described below. The drawings described below are a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on these drawings, those skilled in the art can obtain other drawings without any creative effort.
In order to better understand objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. The described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without paying creative labor shall fall into the protection scope of the present disclosure.
The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely for the purpose of describing specific embodiment, rather than limiting the present disclosure. The terms “a”, “an”, “the” and “said” in a singular form in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the attached claims are also intended to include plural forms thereof, unless noted otherwise.
In order to further illustrate the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present disclosure, before introduction of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the process of purposing the technical solution of the organic light-emitting display panel according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is firstly described. In the related art, an organic light-emitting component displaying at one side in an organic light-emitting display panel includes a total reflection electrode and a transparent electrode, and has a lower light intensity. In order to improve the light intensity of the organic light-emitting component, an organic light-emitting component having a microcavity is appeared, which includes a total reflection electrode and a semi-transparent electrode to form a microcavity between the total reflection electrode and the semi-transparent electrode, thus improving the light intensity of the organic light-emitting component by the microcavity effect. In order to apply it to the scenario which requires display at double sides, the inventors of the present disclosure have found that both electrodes of the organic light-emitting component can be arranged as transparent electrodes.
in which I1 is a light intensity of the first electrode 11 side, I2 is a light intensity of the second electrode 12 side, I0 is an intrinsic light intensity of the light-emitting layer 10. The intrinsic light intensity means a light intensity of a mere light-emitting layer 10, i.e., a light intensity of the light-emitting layer 10 without the microcavity effect, F (R1, R2, λ, X1, L) is a first function associated with R1, R2, 2, X1 and L, F′ (R1, R2, λ, X2, L) is a second function associated with R1, R2, λ, X2 and L, λ is a wavelength of light emitted by the light-emitting layer 10, X1 is a distance between an exciton recombination center in the light-emitting layer 10 and the first electrode 11, X2 is a distance between an exciton recombination center in the light-emitting layer 10 and the second electrode 12, and L is a length of a microcavity between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, in which X1+X2=L. In order to form a microcavity between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 so as to increase the light intensity, each of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 is a semi-transparent electrode. Therefore the reflectivity R1 of the first electrode 11 and the reflectivity R2 of the second electrode 12 satisfy: 5%≤R1≤95%, and 5%≤R2≤95%. The arrows in the drawings indicate a light-out direction.
As shown in
the first face A1 and the second face A2 are overlapped, it indicates that the organic light-emitting component has same light intensity at both sides. In consideration of selection to the error and other parameters, the value can be fetched near the overlapping line between the first face A1 and the second face A2.
represents a magnification between the light intensity at one side of the first electrode 11 and the intrinsic light intensity of the light-emitting layer 10, so that R1 and R2 satisfy formula (3):
When the reflectivity R1 of the first electrode 11 and the reflectivity R2 of the second electrode 12 satisfy the formulas (1), (2), and (3) at the same time, it can be ensured that the difference in the light intensity of the organic light-emitting component at two sides is small. In addition, since each of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 is a semi-transparent electrode, the organic light-emitting component can be realized to emit light at double sides.
With the organic light-emitting display panel according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, on the one hand, since each of the first electrode and the second electrode in the organic light-emitting component is a semi-transparent electrode, a microcavity is formed between the first electrode and the second electrode, thereby enhancing the light intensity and realizing light emitted at double sides. On the other hand, by determining the reflectivity of the first electrode and the reflectivity of the second electrode, it is ensured that the difference in the light intensity of light emitted at double sides is small and the display effect is further improved.
In an embodiment,
In an embodiment,
According to the obtained R1 and R2 satisfying the above formulas (1), (2), and (3), it can ensure that the difference in light intensity between the two sides of the organic light-emitting component is small. However, in order to further ensure a larger magnification of the light intensity, R1 and R2 are further determined under the condition satisfying

As shown in

In an embodiment, in the green organic light-emitting component G,
The plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors correspond to different wavelengths λ, and a range of the light intensity difference of the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors emitting light at the two sides are also different. As shown in
In an embodiment, the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 at least include a red organic light-emitting component R, and a light-emitting layer 10 of the red organic light-emitting component R includes a red light-emitting material; in the red organic light-emitting component R,
In an embodiment, in the red organic light-emitting component R,
The plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors correspond to different wavelengths λ, and a range of the light intensity difference of the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors emitting light at double sides are also different. As shown in
In an embodiment, each of the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 further includes a hole injection layer 13, a hole transmission layer 14, an electron transmission layer 15, and an electron injection layer 16. The plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 includes organic light-emitting components with different colors, and hole transmission layers 14 in the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors have different thicknesses.
In an embodiment, the first electrode 11 is a cathode, and the second electrode 12 is an anode. A hole injection layer 13, a hole transmission layer 14, a light-emitting layer 10, an electron transmission layer 15 and an electron injection layer 16 are sequentially arranged along a direction from the second electrode 12 facing towards the first electrode 11. The organic light-emitting components 1 at least include a blue organic light-emitting component B, a green organic light-emitting component G, and a red organic light-emitting component R. According to a result of the simulation for the light intensity of the organic light-emitting component 1 emitting light at double sides, the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors corresponding to the different lengths L of the microcavity. In order to adjust the length L of the microcavity, the thickness of the hole transmission layer 14 is changed because the thickness variation can change the length L of the microcavity accordingly. However, the mobility of the hole transmission layer 14 is higher, so that the thickness variation has little effect on the function of the organic light-emitting component 1.
In an embodiment, the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 includes organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors. First electrodes 11 in the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors have same reflectivity R1, and second electrodes 12 in the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors have same reflectivity R2.
The difference in the reflectivity R1 of the first electrodes 11 in the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors is small, and the difference in the reflectivity R2 of the second electrodes 12 in the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors is small. In addition, in the display panel, the first electrodes 11 and the second electrodes 12 in the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors are usually formed by a same manufacturing process respectively, in order to save the manufacturing process. Because the materials manufactured by the same manufacturing process have same reflectivity, the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors has same reflectivity R1 and same reflectivity R2.
In an embodiment, 40%≤R1≤55%, and 48%≤R2≤52%.
On the premise of the unified first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12, that is, when the first electrodes 11 and the second electrodes 12 in the plurality of organic light-emitting components 1 with different colors have same reflectivity R1 and same reflectivity R2 respectively, the ranges of the reflectivity R1 of the first electrode 11 and the reflectivity R2 of the second electrode 12 are searched, in which 40%≤R1≤55% and 48%≤R2≤52%.
On the premise that R1 and R2 are satisfied, the organic light-emitting components B with different colors have different distances X1 between the exciton recombination center in the light-emitting layer 10 and the first electrode 11, and have different lengths L of the microcavity. As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, there are two principles for searching for the respective parameter range based on the simulation result: firstly, the difference in light intensity between the two sides of the organic light-emitting component 1 is small, secondly, the magnification of the light intensity on one side of the organic light-emitting component 1 is larger than that of the intrinsic light intensity of the light-emitting layer 10. In addition, in order to facilitate calculation during the simulation, the search can be performed within a preset conventional range, for example, based on a conventional setting mode for the length of the microcavity, i.e., 263 nm≤L≤1070 nm, in which the length of the microcavity is further determined in the above range. Similarly, based on the conventional setting mode for the exciton recombination center, i.e., 44 nm≤X1≤L-44 nm, the exciton recombination center position is further determined within the above range.
In an embodiment, one or both of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 is selected from: an Ag material layer, a Mg—Ag material layer, and an ITO/Ag/ITO material layer. Any one of the above layers can satisfy 40%≤R1≤55% and 48%≤R2≤52%, and can meet the electrical performance requirements to the electrode itself.

The display device may be any electronic device having a display function such as a touch display screen, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, an electronic paper book, or a television.
With the display device in the embodiments of the present disclosure, on the one hand, since each of the first electrode and the second electrode in the organic light-emitting component is a semi-transparent electrode, a microcavity is formed between the two electrodes to enhance a light intensity and to realize emitting light at double sides; on the other hand, by determining reflectivity of the first electrode and the second electrode, the difference in the light intensity of the double-sided light is ensured to be small, and the display effect is further improved.
