[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0179672, filed in Korea on December 21, 2020, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Technical Field
[0003] The present disclosure relates to an organic light emitting diode (OLED), and more particularly, to an OLED having a low driving voltage and high luminous efficiency and lifespan, and an organic light emitting device including the OLED. Background Art
[0004] Currently, the demand for flat panel display devices with a small footprint is increasing. Among flat panel display devices, the technology of organic light emitting display devices including OLEDs is developing rapidly.
[0005] OLEDs emit light by injecting electrons from a cathode serving as an electron injection electrode and holes from an anode serving as a hole injection electrode into an organic emission layer, combining electrons with holes to generate excitons, and converting the excitons from an excited state to a ground state. Flexible transparent substrates, such as plastic substrates, can be used as base substrates for forming elements thereon. In addition, OLEDs can operate at a lower voltage (e.g., 10V or lower) than that required to operate other display devices and have lower power consumption. In addition, the light from OLEDs has excellent color purity.
[0006] The OLED may include a first electrode as an anode, a second electrode facing the first electrode as a cathode, and an organic light emitting layer between the first and second electrodes.
[0007] To improve the light emission efficiency of OLEDs, the organic emission layer may include a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an emission material layer (EML), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL) sequentially stacked on a first electrode.
[0008] In an OLED, holes from the first electrode (anode) are transported into the EML through the HIL and HTL, while electrons from the second electrode (cathode) are transported into the EML through the EIL and ETL. The holes and electrons combine in the EML to form excitons, which then transition from an excited state to a ground state, emitting light.
[0009] In order to provide a low driving voltage of an OLED and sufficient luminous efficiency and lifespan, sufficient hole injection efficiency and sufficient hole transport efficiency are required. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Reference will now be made in detail to some examples and preferred embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
[0028] The present disclosure relates to OLEDs and organic light-emitting devices including the OLEDs. For example, the organic light-emitting device may be an organic light-emitting display device or an organic light-emitting device. As an example, the organic light-emitting display device will be mainly described, which is a display device including the OLED of the present disclosure.
[0029] Figure 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of an organic light emitting display device disclosed herein.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, gate lines GL, data lines DL, and power lines PL are formed in an organic light-emitting display device. The gate lines GL and data lines DL intersect with each other to define pixels (pixels) P. A switching thin film transistor (TFT) Ts, a driving TFT Td, a storage capacitor Cst, and an OLED D are formed in the pixel P. The pixel P may include a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel. In addition, the pixel P may also include a white pixel.
[0031] A switching thin film transistor Ts is connected to a gate line GL and a data line DL, and a driving thin film transistor Td and a storage capacitor Cst are connected between the switching thin film transistor Ts and a power line PL. An OLED D is connected to a driving thin film transistor TD. When a gate signal applied via the gate line GL turns on the switching thin film transistor Ts, a data signal applied via the data line DL is applied to the gate electrode of the driving thin film transistor Td and one electrode of the storage capacitor Cst via the switching thin film transistor Ts.
[0032] The driving thin-film transistor Td is turned on by a data signal applied to its gate electrode, allowing a current proportional to the data signal to flow from the power line PL to the OLED D through the driving thin-film transistor Tr. The OLED D emits light with a brightness proportional to the current flowing through the driving thin-film transistor Td. In this state, the storage capacitor Cst is charged with a voltage proportional to the data signal, maintaining a constant voltage across the gate electrode of the driving thin-film transistor Td during one frame. This allows the organic light-emitting display device to display the desired image.
[0033] Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light emitting display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0034] like Figure 2As shown. The organic light-emitting display device 100 includes a substrate 110, a TFT Tr, and an OLED D. The OLED D is disposed on a planarization layer 150 and connected to the TFT Tr. For example, the organic light-emitting display device 100 may include a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel, and the OLED D may be formed in each of the red, green, and blue pixels. That is, the OLED D emitting red light, green light, and blue light may be disposed in the red, green, and blue pixels, respectively.
[0035] The substrate 110 may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible substrate may be a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, or a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.
[0036] A buffer layer 120 is formed on the substrate, and a TFT Tr is formed on the buffer layer 120. The buffer layer 120 may be omitted.
[0037] A semiconductor layer 122 is formed on the buffer layer 120. The semiconductor layer 122 may include an oxide semiconductor material or polysilicon.
[0038] When the semiconductor layer 122 includes an oxide semiconductor material, a light shielding pattern (not shown) may be formed below the semiconductor layer 122. The light shielding pattern shields or blocks light from reaching the semiconductor layer 122, thereby preventing thermal degradation of the semiconductor layer 122. On the other hand, when the semiconductor layer 122 includes polycrystalline silicon, impurities may be doped into both sides of the semiconductor layer 122.
[0039] A gate insulating layer 124 is formed on the semiconductor layer 122. The gate insulating layer 124 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
[0040] A gate electrode 130 formed of a conductive material (eg, metal) is formed on the gate insulating layer 124 to correspond to the center of the semiconductor layer 122 .
[0041] exist Figure 2 In the embodiment, the gate insulating layer 124 is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 110. Alternatively, the gate insulating layer 124 may be patterned to have the same shape as the gate electrode 130.
[0042] An interlayer insulating layer 132 formed of an insulating material is formed on the gate electrode 130. The interlayer insulating layer 132 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride or an organic insulating material such as benzocyclobutene or photo-acryl.
[0043] The interlayer insulating layer 132 includes a first contact hole 134 and a second contact hole 136 exposing both sides of the semiconductor layer 122. The first contact hole 134 and the second contact hole 136 are located on both sides of the gate electrode 130 to be spaced apart from the gate electrode 130.
[0044] The first and second contact holes 134 and 136 are formed through the gate insulating layer 124. Alternatively, when the gate insulating layer 124 is patterned to have the same shape as the gate electrode 130, the first and second contact holes 134 and 136 are formed only through the interlayer insulating layer 132.
[0045] A source electrode 140 and a drain electrode 142 formed of a conductive material (eg, metal) are formed on the interlayer insulating layer 132 .
[0046] The source electrode 140 and the drain electrode 142 are spaced apart from each other with respect to the gate electrode 130 and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer 122 through the first and second contact holes 134 and 136 , respectively.
[0047] The semiconductor layer 122, the gate electrode 130, the source electrode 140, and the drain electrode 142 constitute a TFT Tr. The TFT Tr serves as a driving element. That is, the TFT Tr may correspond to the driving TFT Td ( Figure 1 ).
[0048] In the TFT Tr, the gate electrode 130, the source electrode 140, and the drain electrode 142 are located on the semiconductor layer 122. That is, the TFT Tr has a coplanar structure.
[0049] Alternatively, in the TFT Tr, the gate electrode may be located below the semiconductor layer, and the source electrode and the drain electrode may be located above the semiconductor layer, so that the TFT Tr may have an inverted staggered structure. In this case, the semiconductor layer may include amorphous silicon.
[0050] Although not shown, gate lines and data lines cross each other to define pixels, and a switching TFT is formed to be connected to the gate lines and the data lines. The switching TFT is connected to a TFT Tr as a driving element.
[0051] In addition, a power supply line parallel to and spaced apart from one of the gate line and the data line, and a storage capacitor for maintaining a voltage of the gate electrode of the TFT Tr in one frame may be further formed.
[0052] A planarization layer 150 is formed to cover the TFT Tr, and includes a drain contact hole 152 exposing the drain electrode 142 of the TFT Tr.
[0053] A first electrode 160 connected to the drain electrode 142 of the TFT Tr through the drain contact hole 152 is formed in each pixel and on the planarization layer 150. The first electrode 160 may be an anode and may be formed of a conductive material having a relatively high work function, such as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). For example, the first electrode 160 may be formed of indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium copper oxide (ICO), or aluminum zinc oxide (Al:ZnO, AZO).
[0054] When the organic light-emitting display device 100 operates in a bottom-emission mode, the first electrode 160 may have a single-layer structure of a transparent conductive oxide. When the organic light-emitting display device 100 operates in a top-emission mode, a reflective electrode or reflective layer may be formed below the first electrode 160. For example, the reflective electrode or reflective layer may be formed of silver (Ag) or an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. In this case, the first electrode 160 may have a three-layer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO or ITO / APC / ITO.
[0055] The bank layer 166 is formed on the planarization layer 150 to cover the edge of the first electrode 160. That is, the bank layer 166 is located at the boundary of the pixel and exposes the center of the first electrode 160 in the pixel.
[0056] An organic emission layer 162 is formed on the first electrode 160. The organic emission layer 162 includes an emission material layer (EML) including a light-emitting material, a hole injection layer (HIL) below the EML, and a hole transport layer (HTL) between the EML and the HIL. Furthermore, the organic emission layer 162 may further include at least one of an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL).
[0057] As described below, the HIL includes an indacene derivative substituted with a malononitrile group (e.g., an indacene compound) as a hole injection material, and the HTL includes fluorene derivatives with different structures as first and second hole transport materials. Thus, holes are efficiently injected and transported from the anode to the EML.
[0058] A second electrode 164 is formed on the substrate 110 on which the organic emission layer 162 is formed. The second electrode 164 covers the entire surface of the display area and can be formed of a conductive material having a relatively low work function to serve as a cathode. For example, the second electrode 164 can be formed of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), or alloys thereof (e.g., Al-Mg alloy (AlMg) or Ag-Mg alloy (MgAg)). In the top-emission organic light-emitting display device 100, the second electrode 164 can have a thin profile (small thickness) to provide light transmission characteristics (or semi-transmission characteristics).
[0059] That is, one of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 is a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode, and the other of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 is a reflective electrode.
[0060] The first electrode 160 , the organic emission layer 162 , and the second electrode 164 constitute an OLED D.
[0061] An encapsulation film 170 is formed on the second electrode 164 to prevent moisture from penetrating into the OLED D. The encapsulation film 170 includes a first inorganic insulating layer 172, an organic insulating layer 174, and a second inorganic insulating layer 176 stacked in sequence, but is not limited thereto. The encapsulation film 170 may be omitted.
[0062] The organic light-emitting display device 100 may further include a color filter layer (not shown). The color filter layer may include a red filter, a green filter, and a blue filter corresponding to red pixels, green pixels, and blue pixels, respectively. The color filter layer may improve the color purity of the organic light-emitting display device 100.
[0063] The organic light-emitting display device 100 may further include a polarizing plate (not shown) to reduce ambient light reflection. For example, the polarizing plate may be a circular polarizing plate. In a bottom-emitting organic light-emitting display device 100, the polarizing plate may be disposed below the substrate 110. In a top-emitting organic light-emitting display device 100, the polarizing plate may be disposed on or above the encapsulation film 170.
[0064] In addition, in the top-emission organic light-emitting display device 100, a cover window (not shown) may be connected to the packaging film 170 or the polarizing plate. In this case, the substrate 110 and the cover window have flexible properties, thereby providing a flexible organic light-emitting display device.
[0065] Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an OLED according to a second embodiment.
[0066] like Figure 3As shown, the OLED D includes a first electrode 160 and a second electrode 164 facing each other, and an organic emission layer 162 located between the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164. The organic emission layer 162 includes an EML 240 located between the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164, a HIL 210 located between the first electrode 160 and the EML 240, and a HTL 220 located between the HIL 210 and the EML 240.
[0067] The first electrode 160 is an anode, and the second electrode 164 is a cathode. One of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 is a transparent electrode (or a semi-transparent electrode), and the other of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 is a reflective electrode.
[0068] Holes are injected and transported from the first electrode 160 to the EML 240 through the HIL 210 and the HTL 220 , and electrons are transported from the second electrode 164 to the EML.

That is, the bank layer 366 is located at the boundary of the pixel and exposes the center of the first electrode 360 in the pixel. Since the OLED D emits white light in the red, green, and blue pixels RP, GP, and BP, the organic emission layer 162 can be formed as a common layer in the red, green, and blue pixels RP, GP, and BP without being separated. The bank layer 366 can be formed to prevent current leakage at the edge of the first electrode 360, and the bank layer 366 can be omitted.
[0205] An organic emission layer 362 is formed on the first electrode 360 .
[0206] refer to Figure 5 The organic emission layer 362 includes a first emission portion 410, a second emission portion 430, and a charge generation layer (CGL) 450 located between the first emission portion 410 and the second emission portion 430, the first emission portion 410 includes a HIL 420, a first HTL 424 and a first EML 416, and the second emission portion 430 includes a second HTL 440 and a second EML 432.

That is, the first emission portion 410 is located between the first electrode 360 and the CGL 450, and the second emission portion 430 is located between the second electrode 364 and the CGL 450.
[0208] In the first emission portion 410, the HIL 420 is located under the first EML 416, and the first HTL 424 is located between the HIL 420 and the first EML 416. That is, the HIL 420 is located between the first electrode 360 and the first EML 416.
[0209] The first transmitting portion 410 may further include a first ETL 418 over the first EML 416 .
[0210] Although not shown, the first transmitting portion 410 may further include at least one of an EBL between the first HTL 424 and the first EML 416 and an HBL between the first EML 416 and the first ETL 418. For example, the EBL may include a TCTA.
[0211] In the second emission portion 430 , the second HTL 440 is located under the second EML 432 .
[0212] The second transmitting portion 430 may further include at least one of an EIL 436 over the second EML 432 and a second ETL 434 between the second EML 432 and the EIL 436 .

For example, the first EML 416 may provide light having a wavelength range of approximately 440 to 480 nm, and the second EML 432 may provide light having a wavelength range of approximately 500 to 550 nm. Alternatively, the second EML 432 may have a double-layer structure with a first layer emitting red light and a second layer emitting green light. In this case, the first layer emitting red light may include a host and a red dopant, and the second layer emitting green light may include a host and a green dopant.
[0215] In the first EML 416 having a wavelength range of 440 to 480 nm, the host may be an anthracene derivative, and the dopant may be a pyrene derivative.

The p-type CGL 454 supplies holes to the second HTL 440, and the holes are transferred to the second EML 432 through the second HTL 440. Therefore, in the OLED D having a two-stack (double-stack) structure, the driving voltage is reduced and the emission efficiency is improved.
[0218] The n-type CGL 452 includes an n-type charge generating material and may have a thickness of 100 to 100 nm. For example, the n-type charge generating material may be selected from the group consisting of tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3), 2-biphenyl-4-yl-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD), spiro-PBD, hydroxyquinoline lithium (Liq), 1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (TPBi), bis(2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline-N1,O8)-(1,1'-biphenyl-4-hydroxy)aluminum (BAlq), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen), 2,9-bis(naphthalene-2-yl)4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (NBphen), 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP), 3-(4-biphenyl)-4-phenyl-5-tert-butylphenyl-1,2 ,4-triazole (TAZ), 4-(naphthalene-1-yl)-3,5-diphenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole (NTAZ), 1,3,5-tris(p-pyridin-3-yl-phenyl)benzene (TpPyPB), 2,4,6-tris(3'-(pyridin-3-yl)biphenyl-3-yl)1,3,5-triazine (TmPPPyTz), poly[9,9-bis(3'-(((N,N-dimethyl)-N-ethylammonium)-propyl)-2,7-fluorene]-alt-2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] (PFNBr), tris(phenylquinoxaline) (TPQ) and diphenyl-4-triphenylsilyl-phenylphosphine oxide (TSPO1).

[0219] Additionally, the n-type CGL 452 may further include an auxiliary n-type charge generation material. For example, the auxiliary n-type charge generation material may be an alkali metal such as Li, Cs, K, Rb, Na, or Fr, or an alkaline earth metal such as Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, or Ra. The auxiliary n-type charge generation material may comprise approximately 0.1 to 20% by weight of the n-type CGL 452, preferably approximately 1 to 10% by weight.
[0220] At least one of the HIL 420 and the p-type CGL 454 includes the organic compound of Formula 1-1. For example, the HIL 420 may include the organic compound of Formula 1-1 as the hole injection material 422, and the p-type CGL 454 may include the organic compound of Formula 1-1 as the p-type charge generation material 456.
[0221] The hole injection material 422 in the HIL 420 and the p-type charge generation material 456 in the p-type CGL 454 may be the same or different.
[0222] The HIL 420 may have a When the HIL 420 includes the organic compound of Formula 1-1 as the hole injection material 422, the HIL 420 may further include a hole injection host material (not shown). That is, the HIL 420 may be formed of only the hole injection material 422 that is the organic compound of Formula 1-1, or may be formed of a mixture of the hole injection material 422 and a hole injection host material.
[0223] The hole injection host material may be NPD. In this case, the hole injection material 422 may have about 1-40 wt%, preferably about 5-20 wt%, in the HIL 420.
[0224] The p-type CGL 454 may have a When the p-type CGL 454 includes the organic compound of Formula 1-1 as the p-type charge-generating material 456, the p-type CGL 454 may further include a p-type charge-generating host material (not shown). That is, the p-type CGL 454 may be formed only of the p-type charge-generating material 456, which is the organic compound of Formula 1-1, or may be formed of a mixture of the p-type charge-generating material 456 and the p-type charge-generating host material.
[0225] For example, the p-type charge generation host material may include at least one of the following: 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylamino)triphenylamine (MTDATA), 4,4',4"-tris(N,N-diphenylamino)triphenylamine (NATA), 4,4',4"-tris(N-(naphthalene-1-yl)-N-phenyl-amino)triphenylamine (1T-NATA), 4,4',4"-tris(N-(naphthalene-2-yl)-N-phenyl-amino)triphenylamine (2T-NATA), copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), tris(4-carbazolyl-9-yl-phenyl)amine (TCTA), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4"- The p-type charge generation host material may be, but is not limited to, NPD, 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene hexacarbonitrile (dipyrazino[2,3-f:2'3'-h]quinoxaline-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN), 1,3,5-tris[4-(diphenylamino)phenyl]benzene (TDAPB), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT / PSS), and N-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluoren-2-amine. For example, the p-type charge generation host material may be NPD. In this case, the p-type charge generation material 456 may have a weight percentage of about 1-40%, preferably about 10-30%, in the p-type CGL 454.
[0226] When the HIL 420 includes the hole injection host material and the hole injection material 422 in Formula 1-1, and the p-type CGL 454 includes the p-type charge generation host material and the p-type charge generation material 456, the weight percentage of the p-type charge generation material 456 in the p-type CGL 454 can be equal to or greater than the weight percentage of the hole injection material 422 in the HIL 420.
[0227] At least one of the first HTL 424 and the second HTL 440 includes at least one of a first hole transport material that is an organic compound in Formula 2 and a second hole transport material that is an organic compound in Formula 3. For example, the first HTL 424 may include at least one of a first hole transport material 426 that is an organic compound in Formula 2 and a second hole transport material 428 that is an organic compound in Formula 3, and the second HTL 440 may include at least one of a first hole transport material 442 that is an organic compound in Formula 2 and a second hole transport material 444 that is an organic compound in Formula 3.
[0228] That is, the first HTL 424 may be formed of only the first hole transport material 426, may be formed of only the second hole transport material 428, or may be formed of a mixture of the first hole transport material 426 and the second hole transport material 428. The second HTL 440 may be formed of only the first hole transport material 442, may be formed of only the second hole transport material 444, or may be formed of a mixture of the first hole transport material 442 and the second hole transport material 444.
[0229] When the first hole transport material 426 and the second hole transport material 428 are included in the first HTL 424 and the first hole transport material 442 and the second hole transport material 444 are included in the second HTL 440, the first hole transport material 426 has a first weight percentage in the first HTL 424, and the first hole transport material 442 has a second weight percentage less than the first weight percentage in the second HTL 440. In other words, the weight percentage of the second hole transport material 444 in the second HTL 440 may be greater than the weight percentage of the second hole transport material 428 in the first HTL 424. Since the second HTL 440 is closer to the second electrode 364, which is a cathode, than the first HTL 424, the weight percentage of the second hole transport material 444 in the second HTL 440 increases, so that the emission region in the second EML 432 can be prevented from moving toward the second HTL 440. Therefore, the emission region in the second EML 432 may be present at the center of the second EML 432, and the emission efficiency and lifespan of the OLED D may be improved.
[0230] The thickness of the first HTL 424 may be greater than that of the second HTL 440. For example, the first HTL 424 may have a thickness of about 500 to 1000 mm. Thickness, preferably And the second HTL 440 may have a thickness of about 200 to Thickness, preferably

Therefore, the OLED D has advantages in driving voltage, emission efficiency, and lifespan.
[0232] In addition, at least one of the HIL 420 and the p-type CGL 454 includes the organic compound of Formula 1-1, and at least one of the first HTL 424 and the second HTL 440 includes at least one of the organic compound of Formula 2 and the organic compound of Formula 3. Therefore, in the OLED D, the driving voltage is further reduced, and the emission efficiency and lifespan are further improved.
