[0061] The light emitting device described in the following exemplary embodiments may be an organic light emitting device (OLED) that emits light having a given wavelength to the outside.
[0062] Figure 1 is a sectional view showing a light emitting device 100 according to example embodiments.
[0063] refer to Figure 1 The light-emitting device 100 includes: a metal reflective layer 110 including a phase modulation surface; a color conversion layer 120 disposed on the phase modulation surface of the metal reflective layer 110 and including a photoluminescent material 122; a first electrode 131 disposed on the color conversion layer 120; a white organic light-emitting layer 140 disposed above the first electrode 131; and a second electrode 132 disposed above the white organic light-emitting layer 140.
[0064] The first electrode 131 may function as an anode that provides holes to the white organic light emitting layer 140, and the second electrode 132 may function as a cathode that provides electrons to the white organic light emitting layer 140. To this end, the first electrode 131 may include a material having a relatively high work function, and the second electrode 132 may include a material having a relatively low work function.
[0065] The first electrode 131 may include a transparent electrode configured to transmit light. For example, the first electrode 131 may include a transparent conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), or aluminum zinc oxide (AZO).
[0066] The second electrode 132 may include a semi-transparent electrode configured to reflect a portion of the light and transmit the rest of the light. The second electrode 132 may include a metal layer having a relatively small thickness. For example, the second electrode 132 may include a mixed layer of silver (Ag) and magnesium (Mg) or a mixed layer of aluminum (Al) and lithium (Li), and the thickness of the second electrode 132 may be about 10 nm to about 20 nm. Since the thickness of the second electrode 132 is relatively small, light can partially pass through the second electrode 132.
[0067] The white organic light-emitting layer 140 has the following structure: a red organic light-emitting layer 141, a green organic light-emitting layer 142, and a blue organic light-emitting layer 143 are sequentially stacked between a first electrode 131 and a second electrode 132. Here, an exciton blocking layer 144 may be provided between the red organic light-emitting layer 141 and the green organic light-emitting layer 142, and an exciton blocking layer 145 may be provided between the green organic light-emitting layer 142 and the blue organic light-emitting layer 143.
[0068] The hole injection layer 151 may be disposed between the first electrode 131 and the white organic light-emitting layer 140. In addition, a hole transport layer may be further disposed between the hole injection layer 151 and the white organic light-emitting layer 140. The electron injection layer 152 may be disposed between the second electrode 132 and the white organic light-emitting layer 140. In addition, an electron transfer layer may be further disposed between the electron injection layer 152 and the white organic light-emitting layer 140.
[0069] The light emitting device 100 may further include various additional layers. For example, an electron blocking layer may be further disposed between the hole transport layer and the white organic light emitting layer 140 , and a hole blocking layer may be further disposed between the electron transport layer and the white organic light emitting layer 140 .
[0070] According to example embodiments, holes provided from the first electrode 131 through the hole injection layer 151 and electrons provided from the second electrode 132 through the electron injection layer 152 may be combined with each other in the red organic light-emitting layer 141, the green organic light-emitting layer 142, and the blue organic light-emitting layer 143, so that the red organic light-emitting layer 141, the green organic light-emitting layer 142, and the blue organic light-emitting layer 143 may generate red light R, green light G, and blue light B, respectively.
[0071] The metal reflective layer 110 may be configured to form a microcavity L together with the second electrode 132. That is, the microcavity L may be formed between the metal reflective layer 110 and the second electrode 132. For example, light generated in the white organic light emitting layer 140 may resonate while reciprocating between the metal reflective layer 110 and the second electrode 132, and then light corresponding to the resonant wavelength of the microcavity L may be emitted through the second electrode 132.
[0072] The resonant wavelength of the microcavity L can be determined by the optical length of the microcavity L. For example, when the resonant wavelength of the microcavity L is represented by λ, the optical length of the microcavity L can be nλ / 2 (where n is a natural number). The optical length of the microcavity L can be determined by the sum of the optical thicknesses of the layers forming the microcavity L between the metal reflective layer 110 and the second electrode 132, the phase delay caused by the second electrode 132, and the phase shift (e.g., phase delay) caused by the metal reflective layer 110. Here, the optical thickness of the layers forming the microcavity L is not a simple physical thickness, but rather a thickness that takes into account the refractive index of these layers.
[0073] According to example embodiments, the optical thickness of the layers forming the microcavity L and the phase delay caused by the second electrode 132 may be fixed, and the phase shift caused by the metal reflective layer 110 may be adjusted to adjust the optical length or resonant wavelength of the microcavity L.
[0074] A phase modulation surface is formed on the reflection surface of the metal reflection layer 110 to adjust the phase shift caused by the metal reflection layer 110. The phase modulation surface may have a metastructure in which nano-patterns 112 having a nano-size are periodically arranged.
[0075] Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A perspective view of the metal reflective layer 110 shown in FIG. Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 sectional view of the metal reflective layer 110 shown in FIG.
[0076] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the metal reflective layer 110 may include a base 111 and a phase modulation surface formed on the upper surface of the base 111. The phase modulation surface includes nanopatterns 112 periodically arranged on the upper surface of the base 111. Here, each of the nanopatterns 112 may have a columnar shape protruding from the upper surface of the base 111. For example, each of the nanopatterns 112 may have a cylindrical shape. The base 111 and the nanopatterns 112 may be formed as one body. For example, the base 111 and the nanopatterns 112 may include at least one metal material selected from silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), and gold (Au). However, the embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0077] The optical properties of the phase modulation surface (e.g., phase delay of reflected light) can be determined by the size (e.g., diameter (w) and height (h)) of each nanopattern in the nanopatterns 112 and the pitch (p) of the nanopatterns 112. Therefore, the resonant wavelength of the microcavity L can be determined by the diameter (w) and height (h) of each nanopattern in the nanopatterns 112 of the phase modulation surface and the pitch p of the nanopatterns 112. For example, when the resonant wavelength of the microcavity L is represented by λ, the diameter (w) and height (h) of each nanopattern in the nanopatterns 112 of the phase modulation surface and the pitch p of the nanopatterns 112 can be selected so that the optical length of the microcavity L can be nλ / 2 (where n is a natural number).
[0078] The microcavity L of the light-emitting device 100 may have a resonant wavelength in the range of about 300 nm to about 700 nm. In this case, the diameter (w) of each nanopattern in the nanopatterns 112 of the phase modulation surface may be in the range of about 50 nm to about 300 nm, and the height (h) of each nanopattern in the nanopatterns 112 may be in the range of about 0 nm to about 150 nm. In addition, the pitch (p) of the nanopatterns 112 may be in the range of about 100 nm to about 400 nm. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. Figure 1 An example is shown in which the microcavity L is adjusted to have the wavelength of green light G as a resonance wavelength, so that the light emitting device 100 can emit green light G.
[0079] When the size of the nanopatterns 112 of the phase modulation surface is smaller than the resonant wavelength, incident light can resonate around the nanopatterns 112, forming multiple nano-optical resonant structures. The electric field component of the incident light may not penetrate into the spaces between the nanopatterns 112, and only the magnetic field component of the incident light can resonate around the nanopatterns 112. Therefore, the multiple nano-optical resonant structures formed in the spaces between the nanopatterns 112 can be configured as magnetic resonators to resonate the incident light.
[0080] although Figure 2 and Figure 3 An example is shown in which each of the nano-patterns 112 has a cylindrical shape, but each of the nano-patterns 112 may have any other shape. For example, the nano-pattern 112 may have an elliptical cylinder shape.
[0081] Figure 4 It shows that it can be applied to Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a view of a modified example of the metal reflective layer 110 of the light emitting device 100 shown in FIG. Figure 4 The metal reflective layer 110' includes a base 111' and a phase modulation surface formed on the upper surface of the base 111'. The phase modulation surface includes nanopatterns 112' periodically arranged on the upper surface of the base 111'. Here, each of the nanopatterns 112' may have a quadrangular prism shape protruding from the upper surface of the base 111'.
[0082] exist Figure 4 In the embodiment, the optical properties of the phase modulation surface (eg, phase delay of reflected light) can be determined by the size (eg, width and height) of each nano-pattern in the nano-pattern 112' and the pitch of the nano-pattern 112'. Figure 4 An example is shown in which each of the nano-patterns 112 ′ has a quadrangular prism shape, but each of the nano-patterns 112 ′ may have any other polygonal prism shape, such as a triangular prism shape or a pentagonal prism shape.
[0083] Figure 5 It shows that it can be applied to Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a view of another modified example of the metal reflective layer 110 of the light emitting device 100 shown in FIG. Figure 5 The metal reflective layer 110" includes a base 111" and a phase modulation surface formed on the upper surface of the base 111". The phase modulation surface includes nano patterns 112" periodically arranged on the upper surface of the base 111". Here, each of the nano patterns 112" may include a groove formed in a given shape to a given depth in the upper surface of the base 111". Although Figure 5 , each groove has a cylindrical shape, but each groove may have any other shape. Figure 5 In the embodiment, the optical characteristics of the phase modulation surface (eg, phase delay of reflected light) can be determined by the diameter and height of each nano-pattern in the nano-patterns 112 ″ and the pitch of the nano-patterns 112 ″.
[0084] Figure 6 It shows that it can be applied to Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a view of another modified example of the metal reflective layer 110 of the light emitting device 100 shown in FIG. Figure 6 The metal reflective layer 210 includes a base 211 and a phase modulation surface formed on the upper surface of the base 211. The phase modulation surface includes a nano pattern 212 protruding from the upper surface of the base 211. Here, the nano pattern 212 may be provided separately from the base 211. The base 211 may include various materials, and the nano pattern 212 may include at least one metal material selected from silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), and gold (Au).
[0085] Figure 7 It shows that it can be applied to Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a view of another modified example of the metal reflective layer 110 of the light emitting device 100 shown in FIG. Figure 7 , the metal reflective layer 310 includes a base 311 and a phase modulation surface formed on the upper surface of the base 311. The phase modulation surface includes a nano pattern provided on the upper surface of the base 311. Here, the nano pattern may include a nano structure 312 protruding from the upper surface of the base 311, and a metal coating 313 formed to cover the surface of the nano structure 312 and the upper surface of the base 311. The nano structure 312 may be formed integrally with the base 311 or formed separately from the base 311. The base 311 and the nano structure 312 may include various materials. For example, the metal coating 313 may include at least one metal material selected from silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), and gold (Au).
[0086] Figure 8A is a diagram showing an experimental model of a metal reflective layer. Figure 8A The Ag metal reflective layer 410 is shown, in which a nano pattern 412 having a cylindrical shape is arranged on the upper surface of the base 411. Here, the upper surface of the base 411 has a 300x300 μm 2 Each of the nano-patterns 412 has a diameter of 100 nm and a height of 100 nm, and the nano-patterns 412 are periodically arranged at a pitch of 225 nm.
[0087] For example, the nano-transfer printing process can be used to form Figure 8A However, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the Ag metal reflective layer 410 may be formed by any other method.
[0088] To form the Ag metal reflective layer 410, first, an electron beam (e-beam) resist is applied to a 300×300 μm 2The nanopore patterns were formed on the upper surface of a silicon wafer with an area of 100 nm and an electron beam resist by electron beam lithography. Here, each nanopore pattern has a diameter of 100 nm and is periodically formed at a pitch of 225 nm.
[0089] Next, the silicon wafer is etched to a depth of 100 nm using the nanopore pattern formed in the patterned electron beam resist. Here, the silicon wafer can be etched for about 10 to about 20 seconds using a reactive ion etching (RIE) process, for example, under an SF6 gas environment. Afterwards, the electron beam resist is removed from the upper surface of the silicon wafer to completely manufacture a silicon master having the nanopore pattern.
[0090] Afterwards, a fluorine-based ultraviolet (UV) curable resin is applied to the silicon master, which is then covered with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. Next, an exposure process using a UV lamp is performed to complete the polymerization reaction. When the PET film is removed, a reverse pattern of the nanopore pattern formed on the silicon master is transferred to the thin fluorine-based polymer film.
[0091] Next, a fluorine-based UV curable resin is applied to the thin fluorine-based polymer film on which the reverse pattern is formed, the thin fluorine-based polymer film is covered with a PET film, and a UV exposure process is performed to form a polymer mold on which nanopore patterns are formed. These nanopore patterns are the same as the nanopore patterns formed in the silicon master. Then, the polymer mold on which the nanopore pattern is formed is placed in a vacuum deposition device, and a thin silver (Ag) film is deposited on the polymer mold by a thermal deposition method. Thereafter, the thin silver (Ag) film is separated from the polymer mold, and then as shown in FIG. Figure 8A As shown in FIG, the Ag metal reflective layer 410 including the nano pattern 412 having a cylindrical shape and protruding from the upper surface of the base 411 can be completely manufactured.
[0092] Figure 8B It shows Figure 8A FIG. 4 is a graph showing the reflectivity of the Ag metal reflective layer 410 . Figure 8B The Ag metal reflective layer 410 is shown to have the characteristics of a meta-mirror, which has a large resonance effect at a wavelength of approximately 500 nm, corresponding to the wavelength of green light, and has high reflectivity at a wavelength of approximately 600 nm, corresponding to the wavelength of red light, and at a wavelength of approximately 450 nm, corresponding to the wavelength of blue light. Here, the degree or wavelength of optical resonance can be controlled by adjusting the shape, size, height, and spacing of the nanopatterns 412.
[0093] Reference again Figure 1The color conversion layer 120 is disposed between the phase modulation surface of the metal reflective layer 110 and the first electrode 131. Here, the color conversion layer 120 may include a dielectric 121 and a photoluminescent material 122 dispersed in the dielectric 121.
[0094] For uniform current density, the dielectric 121 may be configured to flatten the upper portion of the phase modulation surface having the metastructure. The dielectric 121 may cover the phase modulation surface of the metal reflective layer 110 so that the upper surface of the metal reflective layer 110 may be flat. The dielectric 121 may include an insulating material that is transparent to visible light. For example, the dielectric 121 may include, but is not limited to, materials such as silicon dioxide (SiO2), silicon nitride (SiN x ), aluminum oxide (Al2O3) or hafnium (IV) oxide (HfO2) materials.
[0095] The photoluminescent material 122 can be configured to convert incident light into light having a given wavelength. For example, the photoluminescent material 122 can convert light having a relatively high energy level into light having a relatively low energy level. For example, the photoluminescent material 122 can convert blue light B into green light G, or can convert blue light B and green light G into red light R. Figure 1 An example is shown in which a green photoluminescent material that converts blue light B into green light G is used as an example of the photoluminescent material 122 .
[0096] The photoluminescent material 122 may include, for example, at least one selected from quantum dots, organic fluorescent dyes, organic fluorescent semiconductors, and organic phosphorescent semiconductors. Here, the quantum dots may include, for example, II-VI semiconductor materials or III-V semiconductor materials.
[0097] The color conversion layer 120 may be formed using an organic binder including the photoluminescent material 122. In this case, for example, the organic binder including the photoluminescent material 122 may be prepared by dissolving a polymer material together with the photoluminescent material 122 in an organic solvent or mixing a heat-crosslinkable resin or a UV-crosslinkable resin with the photoluminescent material 122. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0098] In the case of a structure having only a planarization layer including a dielectric layer formed on a phase modulation surface having a metastructure, the microcavity can output light having only specific wavelengths among the red, green, and blue lights generated in the white organic light-emitting layer. As a result, since there is no loss of light output to the outside, the efficiency of the light-emitting device may be low.
[0099] However, in the light emitting device 100 of the exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1As shown in FIG, the microcavity L has a wavelength of green light G as a resonant wavelength, and a green photoluminescent material is used as the photoluminescent material 122, so that the green light G generated in the green organic light-emitting layer 142 can resonate while reciprocating between the metal reflective layer 110 and the second electrode 132, and can then be output to the outside through the second electrode 132. In addition, the blue light B generated in the blue organic light-emitting layer 143 can be converted into green light G by the photoluminescent material 122, and after the green light G resonates while reciprocating between the metal reflective layer 110 and the second electrode 132, the green light G can be output to the outside through the second electrode 132, thereby improving the efficiency of green light emission. In this case, the red light R generated in the red organic light-emitting layer 141 can remain inside the microcavity L without being converted into green light G.
[0100] When blue light B generated in blue organic light-emitting layer 143 is converted into surface plasmons within the metastructures of the phase modulation surface, the surface plasmons can improve the efficiency of conversion to green light G. This conversion occurs within photoluminescent material 122, which serves as the green photoluminescent material of color conversion layer 120. Because surface plasmons concentrate light energy in a small volume on the metal surface with the metastructures, significantly increasing light intensity, they can improve light conversion efficiency. Furthermore, when the intensity of the electric field surrounding the metastructures increases and photoluminescent material 122 is located within this electric field, light conversion efficiency can be further enhanced through the Seer effect.
[0101] As described above, in the light emitting device 100 of the example embodiment, the color conversion layer 120 including the photoluminescent material 122 is provided on the phase modulation surface having the metastructure, and thus the light emitting efficiency may be significantly improved.
[0102] Figure 9A is a view showing another experimental model of a metal reflective layer. Figure 9A The Ag metal reflective layer 510 is shown to have a nano pattern 512 on the upper surface of the base 511. Here, the Ag metal reflective layer 510 includes a central portion on which the nano pattern 512 having a cylindrical shape is arranged, and a flat outer portion surrounding the nano pattern 512. The central portion on which the nano pattern 512 is provided may have a size of 300×300 μm. 2 The nano-patterns 512 may each have a diameter of 100 nm and a height of 100 nm, and the nano-patterns 512 may be periodically arranged at a pitch of 225 nm.
[0103] Figure 9B Is shown covering Figure 9A FIG. 5 is a view of the color conversion layer 520 on the upper surface of the Ag metal reflective layer 510 shown in FIG. Figure 9BThe color conversion layer 520 shown in FIG can be formed by spin coating the upper surface of the Ag metal reflective layer 510 with a solution in which polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) 521 as a dielectric and rhodamine 6G 522 as an organic fluorescent dye are dissolved in chlorobenzene as an organic solvent.
[0104] Use dark field imaging to measure Figure 9B , and the measurement results show that light emission in the metastructure region A where the nanopattern 512 is formed is relatively strong, while light emission in the flat region B where the nanopattern 512 is not formed is relatively weak. Therefore, when the photoluminescent material is provided on the metal surface having the metastructure, the light emission characteristics can be further improved compared to when the photoluminescent material is provided on the flat metal surface.

Therefore, incident light can be converted into light having a desired wavelength and then output, thereby improving luminous efficiency. Furthermore, because the phase modulation surface of the metal reflective layer 610 has a metastructure and the photoluminescent material 622 is disposed above the metastructure, luminous efficiency can be further improved.
