[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0186020 filed in the Republic of Korea on December 29, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0004] As demand for flat panel display devices having a small footprint increases, organic light emitting display devices including organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have become the subject of recent research and development.
[0005] OLED injects electrons from the cathode as an electron injection electrode and holes from the anode as a hole injection electrode into the emitting material layer (EML), so that the electrons and holes are combined, excitons are generated, and the excitons are converted from the excited state to the ground state to emit light. A flexible substrate such as a plastic substrate can be used as a base substrate in which elements are formed. In addition, the organic light-emitting display device can operate at a lower voltage (e.g., 10V or lower) than the voltage required to operate other display devices. In addition, the organic light-emitting display device has advantages in power consumption and color perception.
[0006] For example, the organic light emitting display device may include a red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region, and an OLED may be formed in each of the red pixel region, the green pixel region, and the blue pixel region.
[0007] However, the OLED in the blue pixel cannot provide sufficient luminous efficiency and lifespan, so that the organic light emitting display device has limitations in terms of luminous efficiency and lifespan. Summary of the invention

[0022] Reference will now be made in detail to some of the examples and preferred embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Figure 1 is a schematic circuit diagram showing an organic light emitting display device of the present disclosure.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG, in the organic light emitting display device, gate lines GL and data lines DL, and power lines PL are formed which cross each other to define pixels (pixel regions) P. A switching thin film transistor (TFT) Ts, a driving thin film transistor (TFT) Td, a storage capacitor Cst, and an OLED D are formed in the pixel region P. The pixel region P may include a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel.
[0025] The switching thin film transistor Ts is connected to the gate line GL and the data line DL, and the driving thin film transistor Td and the storage capacitor Cst are connected between the switching thin film transistor Ts and the power line PL. The OLED D is connected to the driving thin film transistor Td. When the switching thin film transistor Ts is turned on by a gate signal applied via the gate line GL, a data signal applied via the data line DL is applied to a gate electrode of the driving thin film transistor Td and one electrode of the storage capacitor Cst via the switching thin film transistor Ts.
[0026] The driving thin film transistor Td is turned on by the data signal applied to the gate electrode, so that a current proportional to the data signal is supplied from the power line PL to the OLED D via the driving thin film transistor Td. The OLED D emits light with a brightness proportional to the current flowing through the driving thin film transistor Td. In this case, the storage capacitor Cst is charged with a voltage proportional to the data signal, so that the voltage of the gate electrode in the driving thin film transistor Td is kept constant during one frame. Therefore, the organic light emitting display device can display a desired image.
[0027] Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an organic light emitting display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown in , the organic light emitting display device 100 includes a substrate 110, a TFT Tr, and an OLED D 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 an OLED D may be formed in each of the red pixel, the green pixel, and the blue pixel. That is, an OLED D emitting red light, green light, and blue light may be provided in the red pixel, the green pixel, and the blue pixel, respectively.
[0029] 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.
[0030] 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.
[0031] A semiconductor layer 122 is formed on the buffer layer 120. The semiconductor layer 122 may include an oxide semiconductor material or polysilicon.
[0032] When the semiconductor layer 122 includes an oxide semiconductor material, a light shielding pattern (not shown) may be formed under the semiconductor layer 122. Light reaching the semiconductor layer 122 is shielded or blocked by the light shielding pattern, so that thermal degradation of the semiconductor layer 122 may be prevented. On the other hand, when the semiconductor layer 122 includes polycrystalline silicon, impurities may be doped into both sides of the semiconductor layer 122.
[0033] 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.
[0034] A gate electrode 130 made of a conductive material (eg, metal) is formed on the gate insulating layer 124 corresponding to the center of the semiconductor layer 122 .
[0035] 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.
[0036] 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.
[0037] 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 positioned at both sides of the gate electrode 130 to be spaced apart from the gate electrode 130.
[0038] The first contact hole 134 and the second contact hole 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 contact hole 134 and the second contact hole 136 are formed through only the interlayer insulating layer 132.
[0039] A source electrode 140 and a drain electrode 142 formed of a conductive material (eg, metal) are formed on the interlayer insulating layer 132 .
[0040] 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 contact hole 134 and the second contact hole 136 , respectively.
[0041] The semiconductor layer 122, the gate electrode 130, the source electrode 140, and the drain electrode 142 constitute a TFT Tr. The TFT Tr is used as a driving element. That is, the TFT Tr may correspond to ( Figure 1 ) driving TFT Td.
[0042] In the TFT Tr, the gate electrode 130, the source electrode 140, and the drain electrode 142 are positioned over the semiconductor layer 122. That is, the TFT Tr has a coplanar structure.
[0043] Alternatively, in the TFT Tr, the gate electrode may be positioned below the semiconductor layer, and the source electrode and the drain electrode may be positioned above the semiconductor layer, so that the TFT Tr may have an inverse staggered structure. In this case, the semiconductor layer may include amorphous silicon.
[0044] Although not shown, the gate lines and the 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.
[0045] In addition, a power supply line may be formed to be parallel to and spaced apart from one of the gate line and the data line, and a storage capacitor for maintaining a voltage of a gate electrode of the TFT Tr in one frame may be further formed.
[0046] A passivation 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.
[0047] The first electrode 160 connected to the drain electrode 142 of the TFT Tr through the drain contact hole 152 is formed separately in each pixel and on the passivation 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).
[0048] 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 material layer. When the organic light-emitting display device 100 operates in a top emission mode, a reflective electrode or a reflective layer may be formed under the first electrode 160. For example, the reflective electrode or the 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.
[0049] A bank layer 166 is formed on the passivation layer 150 to cover the edge of the first electrode 160. That is, the bank layer 166 is positioned at the boundary of the pixel and exposes the center of the first electrode 160 in the pixel.
[0050] An organic light emitting layer 162 is formed on the first electrode 160. The organic light emitting layer 162 may have a single-layer structure of a light emitting material layer including a light emitting material. In order to improve the light emitting efficiency of the OLED D and / or the organic light emitting display device 100, the organic light emitting layer 162 may have a multi-layer structure.
[0051] The organic light emitting layer 162 is separated in each of the red, green and blue pixels. As shown below, the organic light emitting layer 162 in the blue pixel includes the light emitting compound of Formula 1, so that the light emitting efficiency and life span of the OLED D in the blue pixel are improved.
[0052] A second electrode 164 is formed over the substrate 110 in which the organic light emitting layer 162 is formed. The second electrode 164 covers the entire surface of the display area and may be formed of a conductive material having a relatively low work function to serve as a cathode. For example, the second electrode 164 may be formed of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), silver (Ag), or an alloy or combination thereof. In the top emission type organic light emitting display device 100, the second electrode 164 may have a thin profile (small thickness) to provide a light-transmitting property (or a semi-transparent property).
[0053] The first electrode 160 , the organic light emitting layer 162 , and the second electrode 164 constitute an OLED D.
[0054] 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 sequentially stacked, but is not limited thereto. The encapsulation film 170 may be omitted.
[0055] The organic light-emitting display device 100 may further include a polarizing plate (not shown) for reducing ambient light reflection. For example, the polarizing plate may be a circular polarizing plate. In a top-emitting organic light-emitting display device 100, the polarizing plate may be arranged below the substrate 110. In a top-emitting organic light-emitting display device 100, the polarizing plate may be arranged on or above the encapsulation film 170.
[0056] In addition, in the top emission type organic light emitting display device 100, a cover window (not shown) may be attached to the packaging film 170 or the polarizing plate. In this case, the substrate 110 and the cover window have flexible characteristics, so that a flexible organic light emitting display device can be provided.
[0057] Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an OLED having a single light emitting unit used for an organic light emitting display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the OLED D includes a first electrode 160 and a second electrode 164 facing each other and an organic light emitting layer 162 therebetween. The organic light emitting layer 162 includes a light emitting material layer (EML) 240 between the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164. Figure 2) may include a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel, and the OLED D may be positioned in the blue pixel.
[0059] One of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 is an anode, and the other of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 is a cathode. In addition, one of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 may be a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode, and the other of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 may be a reflective electrode.
[0060] The organic light emitting layer 162 may further include an electron blocking layer (EBL) 230 between the first electrode 160 and the EML 240 , and a hole blocking layer (HBL) 250 between the EML 240 and the second electrode 164 .
[0061] In addition, the organic light emitting layer 162 may further include a hole transport layer (HTL) 220 between the first electrode 160 and the EBL 230 .
[0062] In addition, the organic light emitting layer 162 may further include a hole injection layer (HIL) 210 between the first electrode 160 and the HTL 220 and an electron injection layer (EIL) 260 between the second electrode 164 and the HBL 250 .
[0063] The EML 240 includes a light-emitting compound 242 as a first compound. The light-emitting compound is a polycyclic heteroaromatic compound and is represented by Formula 1.
[0064] [Formula 1]
[0065]
[0066] In Formula 1, X is one of B, P=O and P=S. Y1 is selected from NR1, C(R2)2, O, S, Se and Si(R3)2, and Y2 is O or S.

[0067] The A ring, the E ring, and the C ring are each independently selected from a substituted or unsubstituted six-membered cycloalkyl ring, a substituted or unsubstituted six-membered aromatic ring, and a substituted or unsubstituted six-membered heteroaromatic ring. In each of the A ring, the E ring, and the C ring, hydrogen may be substituted by at least one of D, a C1 to C10 alkyl group, a C6 to C30 aryl group, and a C5 to C30 heteroaryl group.
[0068] For example, the C1 to C10 alkyl group may be selected from methyl, ethyl and tert-butyl, and the C6 to C30 aryl group may be selected from phenyl, naphthyl and biphenyl. In addition, the C6 to C30 arylamine group may be a diphenylamine group, and the C5 to C30 heteroaryl group may be selected from dibenzofuranyl, dibenzothienyl and carbazolyl. The six-membered cycloalkyl ring may be a cyclohexane ring, the six-membered aromatic ring may be a benzene ring, and the six-membered heteroaromatic ring may be a pyridine ring.

[0074] [Formula 2-2]
[0075]
[0076] For example, in Formula 2-2, R1 can be a C6 to C30 aryl (e.g., phenyl) substituted by a C1 to C10 alkyl (e.g., tert-butyl) group, or a C5 to C30 heteroaryl (e.g., dibenzofuranyl) substituted by a C1 to C10 alkyl (e.g., tert-butyl) group. In addition, two of R4 to R6 can be hydrogen, and the rest of R4 to R6 can be a C1 to C10 alkyl (e.g., tert-butyl) group or a C6 to C30 arylamine (e.g., diphenylamine) substituted by a C1 to C10 alkyl (e.g., tert-butyl) group. In addition, R7 can be a C1 to C10 alkyl (e.g., tert-butyl) group, and R8 and R9 can be hydrogen.
[0077] Alternatively, in Formula 1, the A ring may be an unsubstituted or substituted six-membered heteroaromatic ring, and the E ring and the C ring may each be an unsubstituted or substituted benzene ring. That is, the light-emitting compound in Formula 1 may be represented by Formula 2-3.
[0078] [Formula 2-3]
[0079]
[0080] In Formula 2-3, Z1 to Z4 are each independently N or CR 10 , and at least one of Z1 to Z4 is N.

[0081] In Formula 2-3, X may be B, and Y1 may be NR1. That is, the light-emitting compound in Formula 1 may be represented by Formula 2-4.
[0082] [Formula 2-4]
[0083]
[0084] For example, in Formula 2-4, R1 may be a C6 to C30 aryl group (eg, phenyl or biphenyl) or a C5 to C30 heteroaryl group (eg, dibenzofuranyl). In addition, R4 to R9 may be hydrogen, and one of Z1 to Z4 may be N.

[0087]
[0088]
[0089] The light-emitting compound in Formula 1 provides blue light emission and is used for the EML 240 in the OLED D. Therefore, the lifespan of the OLED D and the organic light-emitting display device 100 is significantly improved.

[0260] One of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 is an anode, and the other of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 is a cathode. In addition, one of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 may be a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode, and the other of the first electrode 160 and the second electrode 164 may be a reflective electrode.
[0261] The CGL 350 is positioned between the first light emitting portion 310 and the second light emitting portion 330, and the first light emitting portion 310, the CGL 350, and the second light emitting portion 330 are sequentially stacked on the first electrode 160.

In order to provide sufficient luminous efficiency and lifetime, the weight percentage of the third compound 342 may be about 0.1 weight % to 10 weight %, preferably about 1 weight % to 5 weight %.
[0273] The third compound 342 in the second EML 340 and the first compound 322 in the first EML 320 may be the same or different, and the fourth compound 344 in the second EML 340 and the second compound 324 in the first EML 320 may be the same or different.

[0279] Figure 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an organic light emitting display device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an OLED having a tandem structure of two light emitting parts for an organic light emitting display device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an OLED having a tandem structure of three light emitting parts for an organic light emitting display device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0280] like Figure 5As shown in the figure, the organic light-emitting display device 400 includes: a first substrate 410 in which red pixels RP, green pixels GP and blue pixels BP are defined; a second substrate 470 facing the first substrate 410; an OLED D positioned between the first substrate 410 and the second substrate 470 and providing white light emission; and a color filter layer 480 between the OLED D and the second substrate 470.
[0281] The first substrate 410 and the second substrate 470 may each be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the first substrate 410 and the second substrate 470 may each be a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, or a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.
[0282] A buffer layer 420 is formed on the substrate, and a TFT Tr corresponding to each of the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP is formed on the buffer layer 420. The buffer layer 420 may be omitted.
[0283] A semiconductor layer 422 is formed on the buffer layer 420. The semiconductor layer 422 may include an oxide semiconductor material or polysilicon.
[0284] A gate insulating layer 424 is formed on the semiconductor layer 422. The gate insulating layer 424 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
[0285] A gate electrode 430 made of a conductive material (eg, metal) is formed on the gate insulating layer 424 corresponding to the center of the semiconductor layer 422 .
[0286] An interlayer insulating layer 432 formed of an insulating material is formed on the gate electrode 430. The interlayer insulating layer 432 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material (eg, silicon oxide or silicon nitride) or an organic insulating material (eg, benzocyclobutene or photo acryl).
[0287] The interlayer insulating layer 432 includes a first contact hole 434 and a second contact hole 436 exposing both sides of the semiconductor layer 422. The first contact hole 434 and the second contact hole 436 are positioned at both sides of the gate electrode 430 to be spaced apart from the gate electrode 430.
[0288] A source electrode 440 and a drain electrode 442 formed of a conductive material (eg, metal) are formed on the interlayer insulating layer 432 .
[0289] The source electrode 440 and the drain electrode 442 are spaced apart from each other with respect to the gate electrode 430 and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer 422 through the first contact hole 434 and the second contact hole 436 , respectively.
[0290] The semiconductor layer 422, the gate electrode 430, the source electrode 440, and the drain electrode 442 constitute a TFT Tr. The TFT Tr is used as a driving element. That is, the TFT Tr may correspond to ( Figure 1 ) driving TFT Td.
[0291] Although not shown, the gate lines and the 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.
[0292] In addition, a power supply line may be formed to be parallel to and spaced apart from one of the gate line and the data line, and a storage capacitor for maintaining a voltage of a gate electrode of the TFT Tr in one frame may be further formed.
[0293] A passivation layer 450 is formed to cover the TFT Tr, and includes a drain contact hole 452 exposing the drain electrode 442 of the TFT Tr.
[0294] The first electrode 460 connected to the drain electrode 442 of the TFT Tr through the drain contact hole 452 is separately formed in each pixel and on the passivation layer 450. The first electrode 460 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 460 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).
[0295] When the organic light-emitting display device 400 operates in a bottom emission mode, the first electrode 460 may have a single-layer structure of a transparent conductive material layer. When the organic light-emitting display device 400 operates in a top emission mode, a reflective electrode or a reflective layer may be formed under the first electrode 460. For example, the reflective electrode or the reflective layer may be formed of silver (Ag) or an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. In this case, the first electrode 460 may have a three-layer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO or ITO / APC / ITO.
[0296] A bank layer 466 is formed on the passivation layer 450 to cover the edge of the first electrode 460. That is, the bank layer 466 is positioned at the boundary of the pixel and exposes the center of the first electrode 460 in the pixel. Since the OLED D emits white light in the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP, the organic light emitting layer 462 may be formed as a common layer in the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP without being separated. The bank layer 466 may be formed to prevent current from leaking at the edge of the first electrode 460, and may be omitted.

[0336] In the second CGL 590 , the second N-type CGL 592 is positioned between the ETL 554 and the third HTL 572 , and the second P-type CGL 594 is positioned between the second N-type CGL 592 and the third HTL 572 .
[0337] In the OLED D, since the first EML 520 and the third EML 560 each include the light-emitting compound of Formula 1 as the first compound 522 and the third compound 562, respectively, the light emission efficiency and lifespan of the OLED D and the organic light-emitting display device 400 are improved.
[0338] In addition, the OLED D including the first and third light emitting parts 530 and 570 and the second light emitting part 550 emitting yellow-green light or red / green light may emit white light.
[0339] exist Figure 7, the OLED D has a triple stack structure of a first light emitting portion 530, a second light emitting portion 550, and a third light emitting portion 570. Alternatively, the OLED D may further include an additional light emitting portion and a CGL.
[0340] Refer again Figure 5 A second electrode 464 is formed on the substrate 410 on which the organic light emitting layer 462 is formed.
[0341] In the organic light emitting display device 400 , since light emitted from the organic light emitting layer 462 is incident to the color filter layer 480 through the second electrode 464 , the second electrode 464 has a thin profile to transmit the light.
[0342] The first electrode 460 , the organic light emitting layer 462 , and the second electrode 464 constitute an OLED D.
[0343] The color filter layer 480 is positioned above the OLED D and includes a red color filter 482, a green color filter 484, and a blue color filter 486 corresponding to the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP, respectively. The red color filter 482 may include at least one of a red dye and a red pigment, the green color filter 484 may include at least one of a green dye and a green pigment, and the blue color filter 486 may include at least one of a blue dye and a blue pigment.
[0344] Although not shown, the color filter layer 480 may be attached to the OLED D by using an adhesive layer. Alternatively, the color filter layer 480 may be directly formed on the OLED D.
[0345] An encapsulation film (not shown) may be formed to prevent moisture from penetrating into the OLED D. For example, the encapsulation film may include a first inorganic insulating layer, an organic insulating layer, and a second inorganic insulating layer sequentially stacked, but is not limited thereto. The encapsulation film may be omitted.
[0346] A polarizing plate (not shown) for reducing ambient light reflection may be arranged above the top-emitting OLED D. For example, the polarizing plate may be a circular polarizing plate.
[0347] exist Figure 5 In the OLED D, the first electrode 460 and the second electrode 464 are respectively a reflective electrode and a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode, and the color filter layer 480 is arranged above the OLED D. Alternatively, when the first electrode 460 and the second electrode 464 are respectively a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode and a reflective electrode, the color filter layer 480 may be arranged between the OLED D and the first substrate 410.
[0348] A color conversion layer (not shown) may be formed between the OLED D and the color filter layer 480. The color conversion layer may include a red color conversion layer, a green color conversion layer, and a blue color conversion layer corresponding to the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP, respectively. White light from the OLED D is converted into red light, green light, and blue light by the red color conversion layer, the green color conversion layer, and the blue color conversion layer, respectively. For example, the color conversion layer may include quantum dots. Therefore, the color purity of the organic light emitting display device 400 may be further improved.
[0349] A color conversion layer may be included instead of the color filter layer 480 .
[0350] As described above, in the organic light emitting display device 400, the OLED D in the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP emits white light, and the white light from the organic light emitting diode D passes through the red filter 482, the green filter 484, and the blue filter 486. Therefore, red light, green light, and blue light are provided from the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP, respectively.
[0351] exist Figures 5 to 7 In the embodiment, the OLED D emitting white light is used for a display device. Alternatively, for use in a lighting device, the OLED D may be formed on the entire surface of the substrate without at least one of a driving element and a color filter layer. A display device and a lighting device each including the OLED D of the present disclosure may be referred to as an organic light emitting device.
[0352] Figure 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an organic light emitting display device according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0353] like Figure 8 As shown, the organic light-emitting display device 600 includes: a first substrate 610 in which red pixels RP, green pixels GP and blue pixels BP are defined; a second substrate 670 facing the first substrate 610; an OLED D positioned between the first substrate 610 and the second substrate 670 and providing white light emission; and a color conversion layer 680 between the OLED D and the second substrate 670.
[0354] Although not shown, a color filter may be formed between the second substrate 670 and each color conversion layer 680 .
[0355] The first substrate 610 and the second substrate 670 may each be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the first substrate 610 and the second substrate 670 may each be a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, or a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.
[0356] A TFT Tr corresponding to each of the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP is formed on the first substrate 610, and a passivation layer 650 having a drain contact hole 652 exposing an electrode, eg, a drain electrode, of the TFT Tr is formed to cover the TFT Tr.
[0357] An OLED including a first electrode 660, an organic light emitting layer 662, and a second electrode 664 is formed on the passivation layer 650. In this case, the first electrode 660 may be connected to the drain electrode of the TFT Tr through the drain contact hole 652.
[0358] A bank layer 666 is formed on the passivation layer 650 to cover the edge of the first electrode 660. That is, the bank layer 666 is positioned at the boundary of the pixel and exposes the center of the first electrode 660 in the pixel. Since the OLED D emits blue light in the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP, the organic light emitting layer 662 may be formed as a common layer in the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP without being separated. The bank layer 666 may be formed to prevent current leakage at the edge of the first electrode 660, and may be omitted.
[0359] OLED D emits blue light and may have Figure 3 or Figure 4 That is, the OLED D is formed in each of the red pixel RP, the green pixel GP, and the blue pixel BP and provides blue light.
[0360] The color conversion layer 680 includes a first color conversion layer 682 corresponding to the red pixel RP and a second color conversion layer 684 corresponding to the green pixel GP. For example, the color conversion layer 680 may include an inorganic color conversion material such as quantum dots. The color conversion layer 680 does not exist in the blue pixel BP, so that the OLED D in the blue pixel BP can directly face the second substrate 670.
[0361] The blue light from the OLED D is converted into red light by the first color conversion layer 682 in the red pixel RP, and the blue light from the OLED D is converted into green light by the second color conversion layer 684 in the green pixel GP.
[0362] Therefore, the organic light emitting display device 600 can display a full-color image.
[0363] On the other hand, when light from the OLED D passes through the first substrate 610 , the color conversion layer 680 is disposed between the OLED D and the first substrate 610 .
[0364] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made to the embodiments of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, it is intended that modifications and changes cover the present disclosure as long as they fall within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
