Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components. Furthermore, in describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of related prior art could unnecessarily obscure the essence of the present invention, such detailed description is omitted.

Each embodiment may be implemented independently of one another or may be implemented together in an associated relationship.

[0054] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0055] The present invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode and an organic light-emitting device comprising an organic light-emitting diode, wherein each adjacent blue light-emitting layer comprises a p-type host and an n-type host, and the p-type host has a different hole mobility. For example, the organic light-emitting device may be an organic light-emitting display device or an organic light-emitting light. As an example, the description will focus on an organic light-emitting display device that is a display device comprising the organic light-emitting diode of the present invention.

[0056] FIG. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of an organic light-emitting display device according to the present invention.

[0057] As illustrated in FIG. 1, in an organic light-emitting display device, gate wiring (GL), data wiring (DL), and power wiring (PL) are formed intersecting each other to define a pixel area (P). In the pixel area (P), a switching thin-film transistor (Ts), a driving thin-film transistor (Td), a storage capacitor (Cst), and an organic light-emitting diode (D) are formed. The pixel area (P) may include a red pixel area, a green pixel area, and a blue pixel area.

[0058] The switching thin-film transistor (Ts) is connected to the gate wiring (GL) and data wiring (DL), and the driving thin-film transistor (Td) and storage capacitor (Cst) are connected between the switching thin-film transistor (Ts) and the power wiring (PL). The organic light-emitting diode (D) is connected to the driving thin-film transistor (Td).

[0059] In this organic light-emitting display device, when the switching thin-film transistor (Ts) is turned on according to the gate signal applied to the gate wiring (GL), the data signal applied to the data wiring (DL) is applied to the gate electrode of the driving thin-film transistor (Td) and one electrode of the storage capacitor (Cst) through the switching thin-film transistor (Ts).

[0060] The driving thin-film transistor (Td) is turned on according to a data signal applied to the gate electrode, and as a result, a current proportional to the data signal flows from the power wiring (PL) through the driving thin-film transistor (Td) to the organic light-emitting diode (D), and the organic light-emitting diode (D) emits light with a brightness proportional to the current flowing through the driving thin-film transistor (Td).

[0061] At this time, the storage capacitor (Cst) is charged with a voltage proportional to the data signal so that the voltage of the gate electrode of the driving thin-film transistor (Td) is maintained constant during one frame.

[0062] Therefore, the organic light-emitting display device can display a desired image.

[0063] FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the organic light-emitting display device (100) comprises a substrate (110), a thin-film transistor (Tr) located on the substrate (110), a flattening layer (150) covering the thin-film transistor (Tr), and an organic light-emitting diode (D) located on the flattening layer (150) and connected to the thin-film transistor (Tr). A red pixel area, a green pixel area, and a blue pixel area are defined on the substrate (110).

[0065] The substrate (110) may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible substrate may be one of a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, and a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.

[0066] A buffer layer (122) is formed on a substrate (110), and a thin-film transistor (Tr) is formed on the buffer layer (122). The buffer layer (122) may be omitted. The buffer layer (122) may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

[0067] A semiconductor layer (120) is formed on top of a buffer layer (122). For example, the semiconductor layer (120) may be made of an oxide semiconductor material. If the semiconductor layer (120) is made of an oxide semiconductor material, a light-blocking pattern (not shown) may be formed on the bottom of the semiconductor layer (120). The light-blocking pattern prevents light from being incident on the semiconductor layer (120), thereby preventing the semiconductor layer (120) from deteriorating due to light. Alternatively, the semiconductor layer (120) may be made of polycrystalline silicon, in which case impurities may be doped into both edges of the semiconductor layer (120).

[0068] A gate insulating film (124) is formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor layer (120) on the front surface of the substrate (110). The gate insulating film (124) may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide (SiOx) or silicon nitride (SiNx).

[0069] A gate electrode (130) made of a conductive material such as metal is formed on the upper part of the gate insulating film (124) in correspondence with the center of the semiconductor layer (120). In FIG. 2, the gate insulating film (122) is formed on the front surface of the substrate (110), but the gate insulating film (120) may be patterned in the same shape as the gate electrode (130).

[0070] An interlayer insulating film (132) is formed on the front surface of the substrate (110) above the gate electrode (130). The interlayer insulating film (132) may be formed from an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, or from an organic insulating material such as benzocyclobutene or photoacryl.

[0071] The interlayer insulating film (132) has first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (134, 136) that expose the upper surfaces of both sides of the semiconductor layer (120). The first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (134, 136) are located spaced apart from the gate electrode (130) on both sides of the gate electrode (130). In FIG. 2, the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (134, 136) are formed in the interlayer insulating film (132) and the gate insulating film (122). Alternatively, if the gate insulating film (122) is patterned in the same shape as the gate electrode (130), the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (134, 136) may be formed only within the interlayer insulating film (132).

[0072] A source electrode (144) and a drain electrode (146) made of a conductive material such as metal are formed on the upper part of the interlayer insulating film (132). The source electrode (144) and the drain electrode (146) are spaced apart from the gate electrode (130) and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer (120) through the first and second semiconductor layer contact holes (134, 136), respectively.

[0073] The semiconductor layer (120), gate electrode (130), source electrode (144), and drain electrode (146) form a thin-film transistor (Tr), and the thin-film transistor (Tr) functions as a driving element. That is, the thin-film transistor (Tr) is the driving thin-film transistor (Td) of FIG. 1.

[0074] In FIG. 2, the thin-film transistor (Tr) has a coplanar structure in which the gate electrode (130), source electrode (144), and drain electrode (146) are located on top of the semiconductor layer (120). Alternatively, the thin-film transistor (Tr) may have an inverted staggered structure in which the gate electrode is located on the bottom of the semiconductor layer and the source electrode and drain electrode are located on top of the semiconductor layer. In this case, the semiconductor layer may be made of amorphous silicon.

[0075] Although not illustrated, gate wiring and data wiring intersect to define a pixel region, and a switching thin-film transistor, which is a switching element connected to the gate wiring and data wiring, is further formed. The switching element is connected to a thin-film transistor (Tr), which is a driving element. Additionally, power wiring is formed spaced apart from the data wiring or parallel to the data wiring, and a storage capacitor may be further configured to maintain the voltage of the gate electrode of the thin-film transistor (Tr) constant during one frame.

[0076] A flattening layer (150) is formed on the front surface of the substrate (110) above the source electrode (144) and the drain electrode (146). The flattening layer (150) has a flat upper surface and has a drain contact hole (152) that exposes the drain electrode (146) of the thin-film transistor (Tr).

[0077] The organic light-emitting diode (D) includes a first electrode (210) located on a planarization layer (150) and connected to the drain electrode (146) of a thin-film transistor (Tr), an organic light-emitting layer (220) and a second electrode (230) sequentially stacked on the first electrode (210). The organic light-emitting diode (D) is located in each of the red pixel region, the green pixel region, and the blue pixel region and can emit red, green, and blue light, respectively.

[0078] The first electrode (210) is formed separately for each pixel area. The first electrode (210) may be an anode and includes a transparent conductive oxide layer made of a conductive material having a relatively large work function value, for example, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO).

[0079] For example, the transparent conductive oxide layer may be composed of any one of indium-tin-oxide (ITO), indium-zinc-oxide (IZO), indium-tin-zinc-oxide (ITZO), tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium-copper-oxide (ICO), and aluminum:zinc oxide (Al:ZnO; AZO).

[0080] The first electrode (210) may have a single-layer structure of a transparent conductive oxide layer. That is, the first electrode (210) may be a transparent electrode.

[0081] In contrast, the first electrode (210) may have a double-layer or triple-layer structure including a reflective layer. That is, the first electrode (210) may be a reflective electrode.

[0082] For example, the reflective layer may be made of silver (Ag) or an alloy of silver with at least one of palladium (Pd), copper (Cu), indium (In), and neodymium (Nd), or an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. For example, the first electrode (210) may have a double-layer structure of Ag / ITO or APC / ITO or a triple-layer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO or ITO / APC / ITO.

[0083] Additionally, a bank layer (160) covering the edge of the first electrode (210) is formed on the flattening layer (150). The bank layer (160) exposes the center of the first electrode (210) corresponding to the pixel area.

[0084] An organic light-emitting layer (220) including an emitting material layer (EML) is formed on the first electrode (210). In the organic light-emitting diode (D) of the blue pixel region, the emitting material layer of the organic light-emitting layer (220) includes a first blue light-emitting layer and a second blue light-emitting layer.

[0085] The organic light-emitting layer (220) may have a multilayer structure including at least one of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL).

[0086] In one embodiment, the organic light-emitting layer (220) of the organic light-emitting diode (D) in the blue pixel region has a multi-stack structure including a first blue light-emitting part including a first blue light-emitting material layer and a second blue light-emitting part including a second blue light-emitting material layer, and at least one of the first and second blue light-emitting material layers may include the first blue light-emitting layer and the second blue light-emitting layer. In this case, the organic light-emitting layer (220) may further include a charge generation layer (CGL) located between the first and second blue light-emitting parts.

[0087] As described below, in an organic light-emitting diode (D) of a blue pixel region, the first blue light-emitting layer and the second blue light-emitting layer each include a p-type host and an n-type host, and the p-type host of the first blue light-emitting layer and the p-type host of the second blue light-emitting layer have different hole mobilities. Accordingly, the recombination zone of holes and electrons is expanded in the light-emitting material layer, and thus, the organic light-emitting diode of the present invention and the organic light-emitting display device including it have a low driving voltage and an improved lifespan.

[0088] A second electrode (230) is formed on the substrate (110) on which the organic light-emitting layer (220) is formed. The second electrode (230) is located on the front of the display area and is made of a conductive material with a relatively small work function value and can be used as a cathode. For example, the second electrode (230) may be made of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), silver (Ag), or an alloy thereof, for example, a magnesium-silver alloy (MgAg).

[0089] In the case where the organic light-emitting diode (D) is a top-emission type, the first electrode (210) is a reflective electrode and the second electrode (230) has a thin thickness and has light-transmitting (semi-transmitting) characteristics. In contrast, in the case where the organic light-emitting diode (D) is a bottom-emission type, the first electrode (210) is a transmitting electrode and the second electrode (230) is a reflective electrode.

[0090] Although not illustrated, the organic light-emitting diode (D) may further include a capping layer located on the second electrode (230). The light efficiency of the organic light-emitting diode (D) and the organic light-emitting display device (100) can be further improved by the capping layer.

[0091] On the second electrode (230), an encapsulation layer (170, encapsulation film) is formed to prevent external moisture from penetrating into the organic light-emitting diode (D). The encapsulation layer (170) may have a laminated structure of a first inorganic insulating layer (172), an organic insulating layer (174), and a second inorganic insulating layer (176), but is not limited thereto.

[0092] Alternatively, a metal encapsulation plate may be placed on top of the second electrode (230). For example, the encapsulation plate may be attached to the organic light-emitting diode (D) through an adhesive layer.

[0093] Although not illustrated, the organic light-emitting display device (100) may include a color filter layer (not illustrated) corresponding to red, green, and blue pixel regions. For example, the color filter layer may be placed on top of the organic light-emitting diode (D) or between the substrate (110) and the organic light-emitting diode (D). For example, the color filter layer may be formed on an encapsulation layer (170).

[0094] The organic light-emitting display device (100) may further include a polarizing plate (not shown) to reduce the reflection of external light. For example, the polarizing plate (not shown) may be a circular polarizing plate. If the organic light-emitting display device (100) is a bottom-emitting type, the polarizing plate may be located below the substrate (110). Meanwhile, if the organic light-emitting display device (100) of the present invention is a top-emitting type, the polarizing plate may be located above the encapsulation film (170).

[0095] In addition, in the top-emitting type organic light-emitting display device (100), a cover window (not shown) may be attached to an encapsulation film (170) or a polarizing plate. At this time, the substrate (110) and the cover window may have flexible characteristics to form a flexible display device.

[0096] FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting diode according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0097] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the organic light-emitting diode (D1) comprises first and second electrodes (210, 230) facing each other and an organic light-emitting layer (220) located between them, wherein the organic light-emitting layer (220) comprises a blue light-emitting material layer (240). The blue light-emitting material layer (240) comprises a first blue light-emitting layer (250) and a second blue light-emitting layer (260). Additionally, the organic light-emitting diode (D1) may further comprise a capping layer (not shown) formed on the second electrode (230) to enhance light extraction.

[0098] The organic light-emitting display device (100) includes a red pixel area, a green pixel area, and a blue pixel area, and the organic light-emitting diode (D1) is located in the blue pixel area.

[0099] The first electrode (210) may be an anode, and the second electrode (230) may be a cathode. One of the first electrode (210) and the second electrode (230) is a reflective electrode, and the other of the first electrode (210) and the second electrode (230) is a transmissive (semi-transmissive) electrode. For example, the first electrode (210) may have a single-layer structure of ITO, and the second electrode (230) may be made of Al.

[0100] The organic light-emitting layer (220) may further include at least one of a hole transport layer (274) located between the first electrode (210) and the blue light-emitting material layer (240) and an electron transport layer (282) located between the second electrode (230) and the blue light-emitting material layer (240).

[0101] Additionally, the organic light-emitting layer (220) may further include at least one of a hole injection layer (272) located between the first electrode (210) and the hole transport layer (274), and an electron injection layer (284) located between the second electrode (230) and the electron transport layer (282).

[0102] Additionally, the organic light-emitting layer (220) may further include at least one of an electron blocking layer (276) located between the hole transport layer (274) and the blue light-emitting material layer (240), and a hole blocking layer (286) located between the blue light-emitting material layer (240) and the electron transport layer (282).

[0103] In the blue light-emitting material layer (240), the second blue light-emitting layer (260) is in contact with the first blue light-emitting layer (250) and is located on the first blue light-emitting layer (250), so the blue light-emitting material layer (240) has a double-layer structure. Alternatively, the blue light-emitting material layer (240) may have a triple-layer structure by further including a second blue light-emitting layer located below the first blue light-emitting layer (250) and in contact with the first blue light-emitting layer (250), or by further including a first blue light-emitting layer located on the second blue light-emitting layer (250) and in contact with the second blue light-emitting layer (260).

[0104] The first blue light-emitting layer (250) includes a first p-type host (252) and a first n-type host (254), and the second blue light-emitting layer (260) includes a second p-type host (262) and a second n-type host (264). Additionally, the first blue light-emitting layer (250) may further include a first phosphorescent dopant (256), and the second blue light-emitting layer (260) may further include a second phosphorescent dopant (266).

[0213] [Chemical Formula 11]

[0214]

[0215] The charge densities measured at EOD1 and EOD2 are shown in Fig. 4b. As shown in Fig. 4b, electron movement does not depend on the p-type host.

[0216] In each of the first blue light-emitting layer (250) and the second blue light-emitting layer (260), the maximum light-emitting wavelength (λmax) of the mixture of p-type host and n-type host (PH:NH) ) is 480 nm or less, and the maximum emission wavelength (λmax) of the n-type host NH It is greater than ). (480 nm ≥ λmax (PH:NH) > λmax NH )

[0217] In addition, in each of the first blue light-emitting layer (250) and the second blue light-emitting layer (260), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level of the p-type host (LUMO PH ) and LUMO energy levels of an n-type host (LUMO NHThe difference is greater than 0.2 eV, and the energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the p-type host (HOMO PH ) and HOMO energy levels of an n-type host (HOMO NH The difference of ) is greater than 0.3 eV. (LUMO PH - LUMO NH ≥0.2 eV, HOMO PH - HOMO NH ≥0.3 eV)

[0218] The first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1a or Chemical Formula 1b and the second compound represented by Chemical Formula 3a or Chemical Formula 3b comprise a bicarbazole (biscarbazole) structure in which a carbazole is bound to the 3rd or 4th position of the carbazole, and each of the first and second compounds satisfies the above conditions with an n-type host represented by Chemical Formula 5.

[0219] Accordingly, the first p-type host (252) and the first n-type host (254) form an exciplex in the first blue light-emitting layer (250), and the second p-type host (262) and the second n-type host (264) form an exciplex in the second blue light-emitting layer (260). Accordingly, the driving voltage of the organic light-emitting diode (D1) and the organic light-emitting display device (100) including it is reduced and the lifespan is increased.

[0220] In each of the first blue light-emitting layer (250) and the second blue light-emitting layer (260), the onset wavelength (λonset) in the absorption spectrum of the phosphorescent dopant Abs (PD)) and onset wavelength (λonset) in the exciplex PL spectrum PL The difference in (Exciplex) is more than 10nm. (λonset Abs (PD) - λonset PL (Exciplex) ≥ 10 nm) Accordingly, the energy transfer efficiency to the phosphorescent dopant is improved.

[0221] Here, the onset wavelength is the wavelength value at the point where the X-axis (wavelength) intersects the extrapolation line in the linear region of the short wavelength region in the absorption spectrum and the PL spectrum, respectively. More specifically, the onset wavelength can be defined as the wavelength corresponding to the short wavelength among the two wavelengths in the absorption spectrum and the PL spectrum where the intensity of the spectrum is 1 / 10 of the maximum value.

[0222] In each of the first blue light-emitting layer (250) and the second blue light-emitting layer (260), the LUMO energy level (LUMO) of the phosphorescent dopant PD ) and LUMO energy levels of an n-type host (LUMO NH The difference of ) is greater than 0.2 eV. (LUMO PD - LUMO NH ≥ 0.2 eV) Accordingly, charge trapping to phosphorescent dopants in each of the first and second blue light-emitting layers is suppressed, and the driving voltage of the organic light-emitting diode (D1) and the organic light-emitting display device (100) including it is further reduced and the lifespan is further increased.

[0223] In each of the first blue light-emitting layer (250) and the second blue light-emitting layer (260), the onset wavelength (λonset) in the PL spectrum of the phosphorescent dopant PL (PD)) is the onset wavelength (λonset) in the PL spectrum of the exciplex. PL Equal to or greater than ) (λonset PL (PD) ≥ λonset PL (PH : NH)) For example, in each of the first blue emitting layer (250) and the second blue emitting layer (260), the onset wavelength (λonset) in the PL spectrum of the phosphorescent dopant PL (PD)) is the onset wavelength (λonset) in the PL spectrum of the exciplex. PL It can be greater than ). Therefore, non-emission quenching of triplet excitons is suppressed.

[0224] The PL spectrum of a mixture of compound 1-1 (PH-A-1) of formula 2 and compound 3-1 (NH-A) of formula 6, the PL spectrum of a mixture of compound 1-10 (PH-A-2) of formula 2 and compound 3-1 (NH-A) of formula 6, the PL spectrum of a mixture of compound 2-5 (PH-B-1) of formula 4 and compound 3-1 (NH-A) of formula 6, the PL spectrum of a mixture of compound 2-2 (PH-B-2) of formula 4 and compound 3-1 (NH-A) of formula 6, the PL spectrum of compound 3-1 (NH-A) of formula 6, and the PL spectrum and absorption spectrum of compound 4-1 (PD) of formula 8 were measured and are shown in Fig. 5, and the measurement results are listed in Table 1. In addition, the HOMO energy levels and LUMO energy levels of each of the compounds of Formula 2, 1-1 (PH-A-1), 1-10 (PH-A-2), 4-5 (PH-B-1), 4-2 (PH-B-2), 6-1 (NH-A), and 8-4 (PD) are listed in Table 2.

[0225] PL spectra can be measured at room temperature (i.e., 25°C) in organic solvents such as toluene. For example, about 1 x 10⁻⁶ -5 A 30 nm thin film can be formed using a compound solution dissolved in an organic solvent (e.g., toluene) having a concentration of M, and can be measured using a fluorescence spectrometer such as the FS-5 fluorescence spectrometer (Edinburgh Instruments) with PL detection (with photoluminescence detection).

[0226] In addition, HOMO energy levels can be determined (measured) by various known methods. For example, HOMO energy levels can be determined using conventional surface analyzers, such as the AC3 surface analyzer manufactured by RKI Instruments. Surface analyzers can be used to measure a single film (pure film) of a compound with a thickness of 50 nm. LUMO energy levels can be calculated as follows.

[0227] LUMO = HOMO - band gap

[0228] The bandgap can be calculated using any conventional method known to those skilled in the art, such as UV-vis measurements of a single film having a thickness of 50 nm. For example, the bandgap can be measured using a SCINCO S-3100 spectrophotometer. The HOMO and LUMO values ​​of the compounds disclosed in the present invention can be determined in this manner. That is, the HOMO and LUMO values ​​may be experimentally or empirically determined values ​​of a thin film, such as a 50 nm film.

[0231] As described above, in the organic light-emitting diode (D1) of the blue pixel region, the blue light-emitting material layer (240) of the organic light-emitting layer (220) comprises a first blue light-emitting layer (250) comprising a first p-type host (252) and a first n-type host (254), and a second blue light-emitting layer (260) comprising a second p-type host (262) and a second n-type host (264). One of the first p-type host (252) and the second p-type host (262) is a first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, and the other of the first p-type host (252) and the second p-type host (262) is a second compound represented by Chemical Formula 3. That is, the first p-type host (252) and the second p-type host (262) have different hole mobilities. Accordingly, the recombination region of holes and electrons is expanded in the blue light-emitting material layer (240), thereby reducing the driving voltage and greatly increasing the lifespan of the organic light-emitting diode (D1) and the organic light-emitting display device (100) including it.

[0232] In addition, in each of the first and second blue light-emitting layers (250, 260), the p-type host (252, 262) and the n-type host (254, 264) form an exciplex, thereby suppressing charge trapping to the phosphorescent dopant (PD) in each of the first and second blue light-emitting layers (250, 260), and accordingly, the driving voltage of the organic light-emitting diode (D1) and the organic light-emitting display device (100) including it is further reduced and the lifespan is further increased.

One of the third p-type host (562) and the fourth p-type host (572) is a first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1a or Chemical Formula 1b, and the other of the third p-type host (562) and the fourth p-type host (572) is a second compound represented by Chemical Formula 3a or Chemical Formula 3b. Additionally, the third n-type host (564) and the fourth n-type host (574) are each compounds represented by Chemical Formula 5, and the third phosphorescent dopant (566) and the fourth phosphorescent dopant (576) are each compounds represented by Chemical Formula 7.

[0433] Accordingly, the organic light-emitting diode (D4) of the present invention and the organic light-emitting display device (100) including it have advantages in driving voltage and lifespan.

[0434] FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting display device according to the 6th embodiment of the present invention.

[0435] As illustrated in FIG. 9, the organic light-emitting display device (600) includes a first substrate (610) in which a red pixel (RP), a green pixel (GP), and a blue pixel (BP) are defined, a second substrate (670) facing the first substrate (610), an organic light-emitting diode (D) located between the first substrate (610) and the second substrate (670) and emitting blue light, and a color conversion layer (680) located between the organic light-emitting diode (D) and the second substrate (670).

[0436] Although not shown, a color filter may be formed between each of the second substrate (670) and the color conversion layer (680).

[0437] Each of the first substrate (610) and the second substrate (670) may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible substrate may be any one of a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, and a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.

[0438] On the first substrate (610), a thin film transistor (Tr) is provided corresponding to each of the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP), and a protective layer (650) is formed covering the thin film transistor (Tr) and having a drain contact hole (652) that exposes one electrode of the thin film transistor (Tr), for example, the drain electrode.

[0439] The organic light-emitting diode (D) formed on the protective layer (650) includes a first electrode (210), an organic light-emitting layer (220), and a second electrode (230). At this time, the first electrode (210) can be connected to the drain electrode of a thin-film transistor (Tr) through a drain contact hole (652).

[0440] The first electrode (210) may be an anode, and the second electrode (230) may be a cathode. One of the first electrode (210) and the second electrode (230) is a reflective electrode, and the other of the first electrode (210) and the second electrode (230) is a transmissive (semi-transmissive) electrode. For example, the first electrode (210) may have a single-layer structure of ITO, and the second electrode (230) may be made of Al.

[0441] Additionally, a bank layer (666) covering the edge of the first electrode (660) is formed at the boundary of each of the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP). Since the organic light-emitting diode (D) emits blue light from the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP), the light-emitting layer (662) can be formed as a common layer without needing to be separated from the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP). The bank layer (666) is formed to prevent current leakage at the edge of the first electrode (660), and the bank layer (666) may be omitted.

[0442] At this time, the organic light-emitting diode (D) can emit blue light having the structure of FIG. 3, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, or FIG. 8. That is, the organic light-emitting diode (D) is provided in each of the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP) to provide blue light.

[0443] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the organic light-emitting layer (220) of the organic light-emitting diode (D) comprises a blue light-emitting material layer (240), and the blue light-emitting material layer (240) comprises a first blue light-emitting layer (250) comprising a first p-type host (252), a first n-type host (254), and a first phosphorescent dopant (256), and a second blue light-emitting layer (260) comprising a second p-type host (262), a second n-type host (264), and a second phosphorescent dopant (266).

[0444] One of the first p-type host (252) and the second p-type host (262) is a first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1a or Chemical Formula 1b, and the other of the first p-type host (252) and the second p-type host (262) is a second compound represented by Chemical Formula 3a or Chemical Formula 3b. Additionally, the first n-type host (254) and the second n-type host (264) are each compounds represented by Chemical Formula 5, and the first phosphorescent dopant (256) and the second phosphorescent dopant (266) are each compounds represented by Chemical Formula 7.

[0445] Since the organic light-emitting diode (D) emits blue light from the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP), the organic light-emitting layer (220) can be formed as a common layer without needing to be separated from the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP). The bank layer (666) is formed to prevent current leakage at the edge of the first electrode (210), and the bank layer (666) can be omitted.

[0446] The color conversion layer (680) includes a first color conversion layer (682) corresponding to a red pixel (RP) and a second color conversion layer (684) corresponding to a green pixel (BP). For example, the color conversion layer (680) may be made of an inorganic light-emitting material such as a quantum dot. A color conversion layer is not formed on the blue pixel (BP), and the organic light-emitting diode (D) of the blue pixel (BP) may face directly with the second substrate (670).

[0447] Blue light from the organic light-emitting diode (D) in the red pixel (RP) is converted into red light by the first color conversion layer (682), and blue light from the organic light-emitting diode (D) in the green pixel (GP) is converted into green light by the second color conversion layer (684).

[0448] Therefore, the organic light-emitting display device (600) can display a color image.

[0449] Meanwhile, when light from the organic light-emitting diode (D) passes through the first substrate (610) and is displayed, the color conversion layer (680) may be provided between the organic light-emitting diode (D) and the first substrate (610).

[0450] FIG. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting display device according to the 7th embodiment of the present invention.

[0451] As illustrated in FIG. 10, the organic light-emitting display device (700) includes a first substrate (710) in which a red pixel (RP), a green pixel (GP), and a blue pixel (BP) are defined, a second substrate (770) facing the first substrate (710), an organic light-emitting diode (D) located between the first substrate (710) and the second substrate (770) and emitting white light, and a color filter layer (780) located between the organic light-emitting diode (D) and the second substrate (770).

[0452] Each of the first substrate (710) and the second substrate (770) may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible substrate may be any one of a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, and a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.

[0453] A buffer layer (720) is formed on the first substrate (710), and a thin-film transistor (Tr) is formed on the buffer layer (720) corresponding to each of the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP). The buffer layer (720) may be omitted.

[0454] A semiconductor layer (722) is formed on the buffer layer (720). The semiconductor layer (722) may be made of an oxide semiconductor material or polycrystalline silicon.

[0455] A gate insulating film (724) made of an insulating material is formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor layer (722). The gate insulating film (724) may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

[0456] A gate electrode (730) made of a conductive material such as metal is formed on the upper part of the gate insulating film (724) in correspondence with the center of the semiconductor layer (722).

[0457] An interlayer insulating film (732) made of an insulating material is formed on the upper part of the gate electrode (730). The interlayer insulating film (732) may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, or may be formed of an organic insulating material such as benzocyclobutene or photoacryl.

[0458] The interlayer insulating film (732) has first and second contact holes (734, 736) that expose both sides of the semiconductor layer (722). The first and second contact holes (734, 736) are located on both sides of the gate electrode (730) and spaced apart from the gate electrode (730).

[0459] On the interlayer insulating film (732), a source electrode (740) and a drain electrode (742) made of a conductive material such as metal are formed.

[0460] The source electrode (740) and the drain electrode (742) are spaced apart from the gate electrode (730) and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer (722) through the first and second contact holes (734, 736), respectively.

[0461] The semiconductor layer (722), the gate electrode (730), the source electrode (740), and the drain electrode (742) form the thin-film transistor (Tr), and the thin-film transistor (Tr) functions as a driving element.

[0462] Although not illustrated, gate wiring and data wiring intersect to define a pixel, and switching elements connected to the gate wiring and data wiring are further formed. The switching elements are connected to thin-film transistors (Tr), which are driving elements.

[0463] In addition, power wiring is formed spaced apart from data wiring or parallel to data wiring, and a storage capacitor may be further configured to maintain a constant voltage of the gate electrode of a thin-film transistor (Tr), which is a driving element, during one frame.

[0464] A protective layer (750) having a drain contact hole (752) that exposes the drain electrode (742) of the thin-film transistor (Tr) is formed to cover the thin-film transistor (Tr).

[0465] On the protective layer (750), a first electrode (810) connected to the drain electrode (742) of the thin-film transistor (Tr) through a drain contact hole (752) is formed separately for each pixel area. The first electrode (810) may be an anode and includes a transparent conductive oxide layer made of a conductive material having a relatively large work function value, for example, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO).

[0466] For example, the transparent conductive oxide layer may be composed of any one of indium-tin-oxide (ITO), indium-zinc-oxide (IZO), indium-tin-zinc-oxide (ITZO), tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium-copper-oxide (ICO), and aluminum:zinc oxide (Al:ZnO; AZO).

[0467] Additionally, the first electrode (810) may have a double-layer or triple-layer structure by further including a reflective layer. That is, the first electrode (810) may be a reflective electrode.

[0468] For example, the reflective layer may be made of silver (Ag) or an alloy of silver with at least one of palladium (Pd), copper (Cu), indium (In), and neodymium (Nd), or an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. For example, the first electrode (810) may have a double-layer structure of Ag / ITO or APC / ITO or a triple-layer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO or ITO / APC / ITO.

[0469] A bank layer (766) covering the edge of the first electrode (810) is formed on the protective layer (750). The bank layer (766) exposes the center of the first electrode (810) corresponding to the red, green, and blue pixels (Rp, GP, BP). Since the organic light-emitting diode (D) emits white light from the red, green, and blue pixels (Rp, GP, BP), the organic light-emitting layer (820) can be formed as a common layer without needing to be separated from the red, green, and blue pixels (Rp, GP, BP). The bank layer (766) is formed to prevent current leakage at the edge of the first electrode (810), and the bank layer (766) may be omitted.

[0470] An organic light-emitting layer (820) is formed on the first electrode (810).

[0471] A second electrode (830) is formed on the upper part of the first substrate (710) on which the organic light-emitting layer (820) is formed.

[0472] In the organic light-emitting display device (700) of the present invention, light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer (820) is incident on the color filter layer (780) through the second electrode (830), so the second electrode (830) has a thin thickness so that light can be transmitted.

[0473] The first electrode (810), the organic light-emitting layer (820), and the second electrode (830) form an organic light-emitting diode (D).

[0474] The color filter layer (780) is located on top of the organic light-emitting diode (D) and includes a red color filter (782), a green color filter (784), and a blue color filter (786) corresponding to each of the red pixel (RP), the green pixel (GP), and the blue pixel (BP). The red color filter (782) may include at least one of a red dye and a red pigment, the green color filter (784) may include at least one of a green dye and a green pigment, and the blue color filter (786) may include at least one of a blue dye and a blue pigment.

[0475] Although not illustrated, the color filter layer (780) may be attached to the organic light-emitting diode (D) by an adhesive layer. Alternatively, the color filter layer (780) may be formed directly on the organic light-emitting diode (D). Additionally, if an encapsulation layer (encapsulation film) covering the organic light-emitting diode (D) is formed, the color filter layer (780) may be formed on the encapsulation layer.

[0476] Although not shown, an encapsulation film may be formed to prevent external moisture from penetrating into the organic light-emitting diode (D). For example, the encapsulation film may have a laminated structure of a first inorganic insulating layer, an organic insulating layer, and a second inorganic insulating layer, but is not limited thereto.

[0477] In contrast, in a bottom-emitting type organic light-emitting display device (700), a metal encapsulation plate may be placed above the second electrode (830). For example, the encapsulation plate may be attached to an organic light-emitting diode (D) through an adhesive layer.

[0478] Additionally, a polarizing plate may be attached to the outer surface of the second substrate (770) to reduce external light reflection. For example, the polarizing plate may be a circular polarizing plate.

[0479] In the organic light-emitting diode (D) of FIG. 10, the first electrode (810) is a reflective electrode and the second electrode (830) is a transmissive (semi-transmissive) electrode, and a color filter layer (780) is placed on the upper part of the organic light-emitting diode (D).

[0480] Alternatively, the first electrode (810) may be a transmissive (semi-transmissive) electrode and the second electrode (7830) may be a reflective electrode, in which case the color filter layer (780) may be placed between the organic light-emitting diode (D) and the first substrate (710). In this case, the first electrode (810) may have a single-layer structure of a transparent conductive oxide layer.

[0481] Additionally, a color conversion layer (not shown) may be provided between the organic light-emitting diode (D) and the color filter layer (780). The color conversion layer includes a red color conversion layer, a green color conversion layer, and a blue color conversion layer corresponding to each pixel, and can convert white light from the organic light-emitting diode (D) into red, green, and blue, respectively. For example, the color conversion layer may include quantum dots. Thus, the color purity of the organic light-emitting display device (700) can be further improved.

[0482] In addition, a color conversion layer may be included instead of the color filter layer (780).

[0483] As described above, in the organic light-emitting display device (700), the organic light-emitting diodes (D) of the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP) emit white light, and the light from the organic light-emitting diodes (D) passes through the red color filter (782), green color filter (784), and blue color filter (786), thereby displaying green, red, and blue colors in the red pixel (RP), green pixel (GP), and blue pixel (BP), respectively.

[0484] Meanwhile, in FIG. 10, an organic light-emitting diode (D) that emits white light is used in a display device. Alternatively, the organic light-emitting diode (D) may be formed on the front surface of a substrate without a driving element such as a thin-film transistor (Tr) and a color filter layer (780) and used in a lighting device. In the present invention, the organic light-emitting device includes a display device and a lighting device.

[0485] FIG. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting diode according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention.

[0486] As illustrated in FIG. 11, the organic light-emitting diode (D5) includes a first electrode (810) and a second electrode (830) facing each other, and an organic light-emitting layer (820) located between the first and second electrodes (810, 830).

The organic light-emitting layer (820) may further include a first charge-generating layer (980) located between the first light-emitting part (ST1) and the third light-emitting part (ST3), and a second charge-generating layer (990) located between the second light-emitting part (ST2) and the third light-emitting part (ST3). Additionally, the organic light-emitting diode (D5) may further include a capping layer (not shown) formed on the second electrode (830) to improve light extraction.

One of the first electrode (810) and the second electrode (830) is a reflective electrode, and the other of the first electrode (810) and the second electrode (830) is a transmissive (semi-transmissive) electrode. For example, the first electrode (810) may have a single-layer structure of ITO, and the second electrode (830) may be made of Al.

In this case, the yellow-green light-emitting material layer (970c) is located between the red light-emitting material layer (970a) and the green light-emitting material layer (970b). Alternatively, the yellow-green light-emitting material layer (970c) may be omitted, and the third light-emitting material layer (970) may have a double-layer structure of the red light-emitting material layer (970a) and the green light-emitting material layer (970b).

[0496] The red emitting material layer (970a) comprises a red host and a red dopant, the green emitting material layer (970b) comprises a green host and a green dopant, and the yellow-green emitting material layer (970c) comprises a yellow-green host and a yellow-green dopant. Each of the red dopant, green dopant, and yellow-green dopant may be one of a fluorescent compound, a phosphorescent compound, or a delayed fluorescent compound.
