1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to an organic light emitting display panel, especially relates to a top emission organic light emitting display panel.
2. Description of Related Art
In general, an organic light emitting display panel includes blue sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, and red sub-pixels (RGB). The blue sub-pixels, the green sub-pixels, and the red sub-pixels respectively provide blue light, green light, and red light to generate color images of the organic light emitting display panel. For an organic light emitting display panel, due to micro-cavity effect, the wavelength of each RGB generally shows a blueshift at wide viewing angles, resulting in blue-green hue of white light at oblique observing direction. Therefore, many manufacturers in the industry are striving to solve the color cast problem of white color at wide viewing angle.
An aspect of the present invention is to provide an organic light emitting display panel includes an array substrate, at least one blue sub-pixel, at least one green sub-pixel, and at least one red sub-pixel. The blue sub-pixel is disposed on the array substrate and is configured for providing blue light. The green sub-pixel is disposed on the array substrate and is configured for providing green light. The red sub-pixel is disposed on the array substrate and is configured for providing red light. The blue sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel, and the red sub-pixel together have a light emitting surface. The light emitting surface has a normal direction along a normal line of the light emitting surface, and has an oblique direction which forms an angle greater than 0 degree with the normal line. The red light has a red normal intensity RI1 along the normal direction, and a red oblique intensity RI2 along the oblique direction. When the angle is about 15 degrees, 1.12≧RI2/RI1≧1.
Reference will now be made in detail to the present embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
It is noted that in this embodiment, the organic light emitting display panel mentioned above can be a top emission organic light emitting display panel. Since the blue sub-pixel 210, the green sub-pixel 220, and the red sub-pixel 230 are arranged side by side on the array substrate 110, the light emitting surface 202 can be parallel to the surface supporting the blue sub-pixel 210, the green sub-pixel 220, and the red sub-pixel 230. Moreover, the array substrate 100 can includes a plurality of switches (such as thin film transistors) arranged in an array manner. The switches are respectively configured for switching the blue sub-pixel 210, the green sub-pixel 220, and the red sub-pixel 230 on/off.
Briefly, the organic light emitting display panel of the present invention can improve the color cast problem of white color at wide viewing angle through adjust the ratio of the red oblique intensity RI2 to the red normal intensity RI1. For a general top emission organic light emitting display panel, when the angle is wider, not only all of the intensities of blue light, green light, and red light decay, but also the wavelength of the mixing white light is blue shifted. Therefore, for white light composition of the general organic light emitting display panel, the red light shows a larger blueshift than the blue light and the green light, such that the images becomes blue-green hue at wide viewing angles. However, in this embodiment, when the angle θ is about 15 degrees, 1.12≧RI2/RI1≧1. That is, the red oblique intensity RI2 is raised at the oblique direction D2, and the image shows slight blue-green hue, thereby the color cast problem of white color at wide viewing angle can be improved.
In one or more embodiments, the red sub-pixel 230 includes an anode layer 232, a cathode layer 236, and an organic layer 234. The organic layer 234 is disposed between the anode layer 232 and the cathode layer 236. The organic layer 234 has a first thickness T1, and 330 nm≧T1≧280 nm, where the first thickness T1 represents the vertical thickness of the organic layer 234. More specifically, the red light is emitted from the organic layer 234, is resonated between the anode layer 232 with strong reflection and the cathode layer 236 with partially reflection, and then transmits the cathode layer 236 to the light emitting surface 202. In other words, the organic layer 234 is a resonance cavity of the red light. Hence, the first thickness T1 can be regarded as the thickness of the resonance cavity along the normal direction D1. The red oblique intensity RI2 itself and the ratio of the red oblique intensity RI2 to the red normal intensity RI1 can be changed through adjusting the first thickness T1. Moreover, the red sub-pixel 230 can further include a cap layer 238 to cover the cathode layer 236.
The yield, the CIE (International Commission of Illumination) 1931 x value, the CIE 1931 y value, and the red light maximum intensity wavelength of Table 1 are the values along the normal direction D1. Moreover, according to Table 1, the CIE 1931 x value is about 0.67 to about 0.695, and the red light maximum intensity wavelength is about 616 nm to about 640 nm.
The following paragraphs provide detailed explanations with respect to how to improve the color cast problem of white color at wide viewing angle using the red sub-pixel 230. Reference is made to
65%≧(RI2/RI1)−(GI2/GI1)≧3%, and
75%≧(RI2/RI1)−(BI2/BI1)≧5%.
That is, along the oblique direction D2, further, the angle θ is about 15 degrees to about 60 degrees, the decay degree of the red light is slighter than those of the green light and the blue light. Even more, the red oblique intensity RI2 can be higher than the red normal intensity RI1. This way, the decay degree of the red oblique intensity RI2 is slighter than those of the green oblique intensity GI2 and the blue oblique intensity BI2 along the oblique direction D2. The fraction of the red light is enhanced to compensate the blue shift effect in the resonance cavity (microcavity), such that the blue-green hue along the oblique direction D2 can be improved. The blue light has a blue light maximum intensity wavelength along the normal direction D1, and the blue light maximum intensity wavelength is about 450 nm to about 476 nm. The green light has a green light maximum intensity wavelength along the normal direction D1, and the green light maximum intensity wavelength is about 512 nm to about 550 nm. The red light maximum intensity wavelength is about 616 nm to about 640 nm.
