Problems solved by technology

Although this doping technology has solved the injection and transport problems of electrons and holes well, there are still some problems: 1) dopants are not easy to obtain, especially n-type dopants; 2) electrons and holes The injection and transport of the material are still related to the work function of the metal used, and the choice of metal electrodes is limited; 3) If the doped layer is close to the light-emitting layer, it will also cause excitons to be quenched, reducing device efficiency and life; 4) Electronic And holes are injected from the electrode, interface defects tend to easily quench the carriers, and the contact interface between the electrode and the organic is also considered to be one of the main causes of device degradation
[0007] However, traditional organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) usually inject electrons and holes from the electrodes. Devices with this structure still have the following problems: 1. There are defects in the electrode interface, which is easy to quench the carriers. If the light-emitting area is far away from the electrode If the interface is close, it will also cause exciton quenching and reduce efficiency; Second, the contact interface between the metal electrode and the organic unit not only affects the injection characteristics of carriers, but is also considered to be one of the main reasons for the degradation of OLED devices 3. The carrier injection characteristics still depend on the work function of the metal electrode. Even if the interfacial layer and the electronic doping layer are introduced, this dependence cannot be eliminated. The anode needs to use a metal with a high work function, while the cathode needs a metal with a low work function. The selectivity of the electrode metal is limited; Fourth, it is difficult to achieve ohmic injection of electrons and holes

Abstract

The invention provides an organic light emitting diode, wherein organic semiconductor heterojunction is arranged on the surface of an electrode; because the semiconductor heterojunction is a system which is rich in holes and electronic current carriers, thus a layer of injection and transmission unit of electrons and / or holes is equivalently increased on the surface of the electrode; and the ohm injection of the electrons and the holes is realized, thereby avoiding the unbalance injection of the electrons and / or the holes because of the inappropriate work function selection of a metal electrode, thus the luminous efficiency of the organic light emitting diode can be improved. Furthermore, because the injection efficiency of the current carriers is improved, the damage to the metal electrode is reduced and the service life is prolonged.
