[0078] In the present application, setting the thickness H of the first electrode 600 to be greater than 100 nanometers can improve the conductivity of the first electrode 600 .

[0079] In one embodiment, the first electrode 600 is a first cathode. The first cathode material is a cathode material selected from one or a combination of ITO, FTO, Fe, Cu, Al, Sn, Zn, and Ag.

[0080] In another embodiment, the first electrode 600 is a first anode. The first anode material is an anode material, and the anode material is selected from one or a combination of Pt, Ni, Cu, Ag, Al and Au.

[0081] The first functional layer 100 is disposed on the first electrode 600. The thickness h of the first functional layer 100 is 20 nm to 60 nm. Specifically, the thickness h of the first functional layer 100 can be 20 nm, 24 nm, 34 nm, 38 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 54 nm, or 60 nm.

[0083] It should be noted that carriers include electrons and holes.

[0084] In one embodiment, the first functional layer 100 is a first electronic functional layer, and the first electrode 600 is a first cathode. The first electronic functional layer is disposed on the first cathode.

The electronic functional layer material is nanoparticles, the particle size of the nanoparticles is 5 nm to 20 nm, and the electronic functional layer material is selected from TiO2, ZnO, SnO, ZnMgO, AlZnO, ZnSnO, ZrO, AlZnMgO, doped graphene, undoped graphene, C 60 , GaZnO and ZnMgLiO or a combination of several thereof.

[0085] In one embodiment, the first functional layer 100 is a first electronic functional layer, the first electrode 600 is a first cathode, the first electronic functional layer material is an electronic functional layer material, the electronic functional layer material is an inorganic metal compound, and the inorganic metal compound is selected from one or more combinations of TiO2, ZnO, SnO, ZnMgO, AlZnO, ZnSnO, CsCO3, ZrO, AlZnMgO, GaZnO and ZnMgLiO.

[0086] In this application, the first functional layer 100 is a first electronic functional layer, and the first electrode 600 is a first cathode. The first electronic functional layer is formed using an inorganic compound to prevent damage to the subsequent film layers. If an organic compound is used to form the first electronic functional layer, a photoresist layer is required when forming the subsequent film layers. When the photoresist layer is removed, a portion of the first electronic functional layer is also removed, causing damage to the first electronic functional layer and affecting the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0087] In another embodiment, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole functional layer, and the first electrode 600 is a first anode. The first hole functional layer is disposed on the first anode. The first hole functional layer includes at least one of a first hole transport layer and a first hole injection layer. The first hole functional layer material is a hole functional layer material. The hole functional layer material is a nanoparticle, and the particle size of the nanoparticle is 5 nm to 20 nm.

[0089] In the present application, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole-functional layer, and the first electrode 600 is a first anode. The first hole-functional layer is formed using an inorganic metal compound to prevent damage to the subsequent film layers. If an organic compound is used to form the first hole-functional layer, a photoresist layer is required when forming the subsequent film layers. When the photoresist layer is removed, a portion of the first hole-functional layer is also removed, causing damage to the first hole-functional layer and affecting the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0090] The patterned insulating layer 200 is disposed on the first functional layer 100. The patterned insulating layer 200 is divided into a plurality of patterned insulating layer segments and a patterned insulating layer connecting segment connecting the patterned insulating layer segments.

The material of the patterned insulating layer 200 includes one or a combination of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, and silicon oxynitride.

[0091] It should be noted that the interdigitated finger structure refers to a palm structure in which multiple fingers are connected to a palm.

[0092] In one embodiment, the thickness D of the patterned insulating layer 200 is 30 nm-100 nm. Specifically, the thickness D of the patterned insulating layer 200 can be 30 nm, 34 nm, 44 nm, 58 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 94 nm, or 100 nm.

[0093] In this application, the thickness D of the patterned insulating layer 200 is set to 30 nm-100 nm to prevent the subsequent patterned second functional layer 400 from contacting the first functional layer 100, thereby avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10 and ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

The patterned second electrode 300 is divided into a plurality of patterned second electrode 300 segments and a patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment connected to the plurality of patterned second electrode 300 segments. That is, the planar shape of the patterned second electrode 300 is similar to the shape of an interdigitated structure, and the patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment is used to connect to an external circuit; each patterned second electrode 300 segment is correspondingly disposed to a patterned insulating layer 200 segment, and a patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment is correspondingly disposed to a patterned insulating layer 200 connecting segment. Each patterned second electrode 300 segment on the first functional layer 100 is disposed on the first functional layer 100. The orthographic projection is located within the orthographic projection of a patterned insulating layer 200 segment corresponding to a patterned second electrode 300 segment on the first functional layer 100, and the orthographic projection of a patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of a patterned insulating layer 200 connecting segment corresponding to a patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment on the first functional layer 100, that is, the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100.

[0095] It should be noted that corresponding arrangement means that one film structure is located below or above another film structure, such as the patterned second electrode 300 is located below the patterned insulating layer 200 , and the same is true below, which will not be repeated here.

[0096] In the present application, the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100, so as to avoid the subsequent patterned second functional layer 400 from contacting the first functional layer 100, thereby avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10, and ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0097] In one embodiment, the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is 50 nm-100 nm. Specifically, the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 can be 50 nm, 60 nm, 75 nm, 90 nm, or 100 nm.

[0098] In the present application, the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is set to 50 nanometers to 100 nanometers. When the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is within this range, the resistance of the patterned second electrode 300 is low, and the current is less obstructed, thereby improving the conductivity of the patterned second electrode 300. If the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is set to less than 50 nanometers, the resistance of the patterned second electrode 300 is too high, thereby affecting the conductivity of the patterned second electrode 300 and causing the light-emitting device 10 to not display normally. If the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is set to greater than 100 nanometers, the resistance of the patterned second electrode 300 is too low, causing damage to the light-emitting device 10.

[0099] In one embodiment, a distance between an edge of an orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 and an edge of an orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 disposed corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is greater than 20 nanometers. Specifically, the distance between an edge of an orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 and an edge of an orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 disposed corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 may be greater than 20 nanometers, 30 nanometers, 60 nanometers, 80 nanometers, 90 nanometers, or 105 nanometers, etc.

[0100] In the present application, the distance from the edge of the positive projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the positive projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be greater than 20 nanometers, further avoiding the subsequent patterned second functional layer 400 from contacting the first functional layer 100, further avoiding the leakage current problem of the light-emitting device 10, and further ensuring the normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0106] In the present application, the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100, and the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200, further avoiding contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, further avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10, and thus ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0107] In one embodiment, the distance W from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is greater than 5 nanometers, and the distance from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is greater than 20 nanometers. Specifically, the distance W from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 can be greater than 5 nanometers, 10 nanometers, 15 nanometers, 50 nanometers or 100 nanometers, etc., and the distance from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 can be greater than 20 nanometers, 25 nanometers, 50 nanometers, 80 nanometers, 100 nanometers or 105 nanometers, etc.

[0108] In the present application, the distance W from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be greater than 5 nanometers, and the distance from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is greater than 20 nanometers, so as to avoid contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, thereby avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10, and ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0109] In one embodiment, the first electrode 600 is a first cathode, the first functional layer 100 is a first electron functional layer, the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second anode, the patterned second functional layer 400 is a patterned second hole functional layer, the patterned second hole functional layer includes at least one of a patterned second hole transport layer and a patterned second hole injection layer, and the patterned second functional layer 400 is a hole functional layer material. The hole functional layer material is selected from nickel oxide, copper oxide, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), cuprous thiocyanate and polyvinylcarbazole, poly (N, N'-bis (4-butylphenyl) -N, N'-bis (phenyl) benzidine) (Poly-TPD), poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-bis-N, N-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine) (PFB), 4,4', 4''-Tris(carbazol-9-yl)triphenylamine (TCTA), 4,4'-bis(9-carbazol)biphenyl (CBP), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(1-naphthyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB), doped graphene, undoped graphene and C 60 One or a combination of .

[0110] In another embodiment, the first electrode 600 is a first anode, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole functional layer, the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second cathode, the patterned second functional layer 400 is a patterned second electron functional layer, the patterned second electronic functional layer includes at least one of a patterned second electron transport layer and a patterned second electron injection layer, and the material of the patterned second functional layer 400 is an electronic functional layer material.

[0111] The light-emitting layer 500 covers the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100. The light-emitting layer 500 may be a quantum dot light-emitting layer, including a red quantum dot light-emitting layer, a blue quantum dot light-emitting layer, and a green quantum dot light-emitting layer.

[0112] The material of light-emitting layer 500 is a quantum dot material known in the art for use in quantum dot light-emitting layers of optoelectronic devices. The material of light-emitting layer 500 includes at least one of single-structure quantum dots and core-shell quantum dots. Single-structure quantum dots include at least one of a II-VI compound, a III-V compound, and a I-III-VI compound. They form a core-shell structure in which a shell layer encloses a core layer. The band gap of the quantum dot shell is larger than the band gap of the quantum dot core layer. For example, II-VI group compounds include at least one of CdSe, CdS, CdTe, ZnSe, ZnS, CdTe, ZnTe, CdZnS, CdZnSe, CdZnTe, ZnSeS, ZnSeTe, ZnTeS, CdSeS, CdSeTe, CdTeS, CdZnSeS, CdZnSeTe and CdZnSTe; III-V group compounds may include at least one of InP, InAs, GaP, GaAs, GaSb, AlN, AlP, InAsP, InNP, InNSb, GaAlNP and InAlNP; I-III-VI group compounds include at least one of CuInS2, CuInSe2 and AgInS2. The core layer of the core-shell structured quantum dots includes at least one of the above-mentioned single-structure quantum dots, and the shell layer of the core-shell structured quantum dots includes at least one of CdS, CdTe, CdSeTe, CdZnSe, CdZnS, CdSeS, ZnSe, ZnSeS, and ZnS. As an example, the core-shell structured quantum dots include at least one of CdZnSe / CdZnS / ZnS, CdZnSe / ZnSe / ZnS, CdSe / ZnS, CdSe / ZnSe / ZnS, ZnSe / ZnS, ZnSeTe / ZnS, CdSe / CdZnSeS / ZnS, InP / ZnSe / ZnS, and InP / ZnSeS / ZnS.

[0113] In the present application, the material of the light-emitting layer 500 is a quantum dot material with a core-shell structure, and the band gap of the shell layer is larger than the band gap of the core layer, so that the light-emitting layer 500 expands the range of the photon collection spectrum while avoiding the influence of the defects of the core layer on the luminescence of the light-emitting layer 500; because the material of the light-emitting layer 500 is a core-shell structure in which the shell layer encapsulates the shell layer, the coupling characteristics of the core layer can be avoided from being affected by adjusting the thickness of the shell layer, thereby improving the luminescence effect of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the stability of the display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0114] In the present application, the other film layers of the light-emitting device 10 are formed first, and the light-emitting layer 500 is formed last, so as to avoid damage to the light-emitting layer 500 by the other film layers during material deposition. At the same time, it is also avoided that the light-emitting layer 500 is wrapped in the middle of the other film layers of the light-emitting device 10, which will cause the other film layers to block the fluorescence of the light-emitting layer 500, thereby improving the display effect of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0115] The third functional layer 700 and the third electrode 800 are sequentially stacked on the light emitting layer 500 .

[0116] In the present application, a third functional layer 700 and a third electrode 800 are arranged on the light-emitting layer to increase the effective contact area between the electron functional layer or the hole functional layer and the light-emitting layer 500, that is, the effective contact area between the first functional layer 100 and the third functional layer 700 and the light-emitting layer 500 is increased, thereby improving the carrier transfer efficiency of the light-emitting device 10 and balancing the hole transfer efficiency and the electron transfer efficiency, which is beneficial to balancing the charge inside the light-emitting device 10, thereby improving the performance of the device.

[0117] In one embodiment, the first electrode 600 is a first cathode, the first functional layer 100 is a first electronic functional layer, the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second anode, the patterned second functional layer 400 is a patterned second hole functional layer, the patterned second hole functional layer includes at least one of a patterned second hole transport layer and a patterned second hole injection layer, the patterned second functional layer 400 is a hole functional layer material, the third functional layer 700 is a third electronic functional layer, and the third electrode 800 is a third cathode. The third functional layer 700 is an electronic functional layer material selected from one or a combination of TiO2, ZnO, SnO, ZnMgO, AlZnO, ZnSnO, CsCO3, ZrO, AlZnMgO, GaZnO, and ZnMgLiO. The third electrode 800 is a cathode material selected from one or a combination of ITO, FTO, Fe, Cu, Al, Sn, Zn, and Ag.

[0118] In another embodiment, the first electrode 600 is a first anode, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole functional layer, the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second cathode, the patterned second functional layer 400 is a patterned second electron functional layer, the patterned second electron functional layer includes at least one of a patterned second electron transport layer and a patterned second electron injection layer, the patterned second functional layer 400 material is an electron functional layer material, the third functional layer 700 is a third hole functional layer, the third electrode 800 is a third anode, the third functional layer 700 material is a hole functional layer material, and the third anode material is an anode material.

[0119] In one embodiment, the light-emitting device further includes an encapsulation structure. The encapsulation structure is disposed on the third electrode 800. The encapsulation structure is formed by overlapping inorganic and organic layers. Providing the encapsulation structure on the third electrode 800 protects the light-emitting layer 500 from corrosion by water and oxygen, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0120] The present embodiment discloses a light-emitting device 10 in which a third functional layer 700 and a third electrode 800 are disposed on the light-emitting layer to increase the effective contact area between the electron functional layer or the hole functional layer and the light-emitting layer 500. This increases the effective contact area between the first functional layer 100 and the third functional layer 700 and the light-emitting layer 500. This improves the carrier transport efficiency in the light-emitting layer 500 region of the light-emitting device 10, thereby balancing the hole transport efficiency and electron transport efficiency in the light-emitting layer region. This facilitates charge balance within the light-emitting device 10, thereby improving device performance. The orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is positioned within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 disposed corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100. This prevents contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, thereby preventing leakage current in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. The orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200 is arranged to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 disposed corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200, thereby preventing the patterned second functional layer 400 from contacting the first functional layer 100, thereby further preventing leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. The orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is arranged to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 disposed corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100, thereby further preventing contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, thereby further preventing leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0121] Example 1

[0122] The first electrode 600 is a first cathode, the first functional layer 100 is a first electron functional layer, the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second anode, the patterned second functional layer 400 is a patterned second hole functional layer, the patterned second hole functional layer includes at least one of a patterned second hole transport layer and a patterned second hole injection layer, and the patterned second functional layer 400 is made of a hole functional layer material. The third functional layer 700 is a third electron functional layer, the third electrode 800 is a third cathode, and the third functional layer 700 is made of an electron functional layer material. The third electron functional layer includes at least one of a third electron transport layer and a third electron injection layer. The third cathode 800 is made of a cathode material. Preferably, the light-emitting layer 500 is a blue quantum dot light-emitting layer. Since the electrons in the blue quantum dot light-emitting device 10 are minority carriers, i.e., the number of electrons is less than the number of holes, the addition of the third electron functional layer and the third cathode improves electron injection, balances electrons and holes, and improves device efficiency.

[0123] In the present application, a third functional layer 700 is provided on the light-emitting layer as a third electronic functional layer, and a third electrode 800 is provided as a third cathode. This increases the effective contact area between the electronic functional layer and the light-emitting layer 500, that is, increases the effective contact area between the first electronic functional layer and the third electronic functional layer and the light-emitting layer 500. This improves the electron transfer efficiency in the light-emitting layer 500 region of the light-emitting device 10, balances the hole transfer efficiency and the electron transfer efficiency, and thus helps balance the charge within the light-emitting device 10, thereby improving the performance of the device. The orthographic projection of the patterned second anode on the first electronic functional layer is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 on the first electronic functional layer, thereby avoiding contact between the patterned second hole functional layer and the first electronic functional layer, thereby avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. The orthographic projection of the patterned second hole functional layer on the first electron functional layer is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second hole functional layer on the first electron functional layer, further avoiding contact between the patterned second hole functional layer and the first electron functional layer, thereby further avoiding the leakage current problem of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0124] Example 2

[0125] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the second structure of the light emitting device provided in the embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that:

[0126] In the inverted light-emitting device, no third functional layer and no third electrode are provided, that is, no third functional layer and no third electrode are provided on the light-emitting layer 500 .

[0127] In the present application, a third functional layer and a third electrode are not provided in the inverted light-emitting device, that is, a third functional layer and a third electrode are not provided on the light-emitting layer 500, so as to avoid damage to the light-emitting layer 500 when the third functional layer and the third electrode are formed and the material is deposited. At the same time, it is avoided that the light-emitting layer 500 is wrapped in the middle of other film layers of the light-emitting device 10, which will cause the other film layers to block the fluorescence of the light-emitting layer 500, thereby improving the display effect of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0128] Example 3

[0129] Please continue reading Figure 1 It should be noted that Example 3 differs from Example 1 in the following ways:

[0130] The light-emitting device 10 is an upright light-emitting device. The third functional layer 700 is a third hole-functional layer, the third electrode 800 is a third anode, the first electrode 600 is a first anode, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole-functional layer, the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second cathode, and the patterned second functional layer 400 is a patterned second electron-functional layer. The patterned second electron-functional layer includes at least one of a patterned second electron transport layer and a patterned second electron injection layer. The patterned second electron-functional layer is made of an electron-functional layer material, the third functional layer 700 is made of a hole-functional layer material, and the third anode material is an anode material. Preferably, the light-emitting layer 500 is a red quantum dot light-emitting layer. Since holes in the red quantum dot light-emitting device 10 are minority carriers, i.e., the number of holes is less than the number of electrons, the addition of the third hole-functional layer and the third anode improves hole injection, balances the electron-hole relationship, and enhances device efficiency.

[0131] In the present application, a third functional layer 700 is provided on the light-emitting layer as a third hole-functional layer, and a third electrode 800 is provided as a third anode. This increases the effective contact area between the hole-functional layer and the light-emitting layer 500, that is, increases the effective contact area between the first hole-functional layer and the third hole-functional layer and the light-emitting layer 500. This improves the hole transport efficiency of the red quantum dot light-emitting device 10, balances the hole transport efficiency and the electron transport efficiency, and thus helps balance the charge within the light-emitting device 10, thereby improving the performance of the device. The orthographic projection of the patterned second cathode on the first hole-functional layer is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 on the first hole-functional layer, avoiding contact between the patterned second electron-functional layer and the first hole-functional layer, thereby avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. The orthographic projection of the patterned second electron functional layer on the first hole functional layer is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second electron functional layer on the first hole functional layer, thereby further avoiding contact between the patterned second electron functional layer and the first hole functional layer, thereby further avoiding the leakage current problem of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0132] Example 4

[0133] Please continue reading Figure 2 It should be noted that Example 4 differs from Example 3 in the following ways:

[0134] No third functional layer and no third electrode are provided on the light emitting layer 500 .

[0135] In the present application, a third functional layer and a third electrode are not provided in the upright light-emitting device, that is, a third functional layer and a third electrode are not provided on the light-emitting layer 500, so as to avoid damage to the light-emitting layer 500 when the third functional layer and the third electrode are formed and the material is deposited. At the same time, it is avoided that the light-emitting layer 500 is wrapped in the middle of other film layers of the light-emitting device 10, which will cause the other film layers to block the fluorescence of the light-emitting layer 500, thereby improving the display effect of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0136] The present embodiment discloses a light-emitting device 10, which comprises a third functional layer 700 and a third electrode 800 disposed on the light-emitting layer. This increases the effective contact area between the electron functional layer and the hole functional layer and the light-emitting layer 500, that is, increases the effective contact area between the first functional layer 100 and the third functional layer 700 and the light-emitting layer 500. This improves the carrier transport efficiency of the light-emitting device 10, thereby balancing the hole transport efficiency and the electron transport efficiency in the light-emitting device 10, thereby facilitating charge balance within the light-emitting device 10 and improving device performance. The orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is arranged to be within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 disposed corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100. This prevents contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, thereby preventing leakage current in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. The orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100, and the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200 is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200, thereby further avoiding contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, thereby further avoiding the leakage current problem of the light-emitting device 10, and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. No third functional layer and third electrode are provided in the light-emitting device 10, that is, no third functional layer and third electrode are provided on the light-emitting layer 500, so as to avoid damage to the light-emitting layer 500 when the third functional layer and the third electrode are formed and the material is deposited. At the same time, it is avoided that the light-emitting layer 500 is wrapped in the middle of other film layers of the light-emitting device 10, which will cause the other film layers to block the fluorescence of the light-emitting layer 500, thereby improving the display effect of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0154] B12. Form a first functional layer on the first electrode.

[0155] 30 mg / mL of first functional layer 100 nanoparticles were spin-coated on the first electrode 600 at a spin speed of 3000 rpm for 30 seconds. The first functional layer 100 was then heated at 80 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

[0156] The first functional layer 100 is disposed on the first electrode 600. The thickness h of the first functional layer 100 is 20 nm to 60 nm. Specifically, the thickness h of the first functional layer 100 can be 20 nm, 24 nm, 34 nm, 38 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 54 nm, or 60 nm.

[0157] In the present application, the thickness h of the first functional layer 100 is set to 20 nm-60 nm to ensure the carrier transport performance and / or carrier injection performance of the first functional layer 100 , thereby ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10 .

The first electronic functional layer is formed using an inorganic compound to prevent damage during the subsequent formation of other film layers. If an organic compound is used to form the first electronic functional layer, a photoresist layer is required when forming subsequent film layers. When the photoresist layer is removed, a portion of the first electronic functional layer is also removed, causing damage to the first electronic functional layer and affecting the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0162] In another embodiment, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole functional layer, and the first electrode 600 is a first anode.

[0163] In another embodiment, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole-functional layer, and the first electrode 600 is a first anode. The first hole-functional layer is disposed on the first anode. The first hole-functional layer includes at least one of a first hole transport layer and a first hole injection layer. The first hole-functional layer material is a hole-functional layer material. The hole-functional layer material is nanoparticles having a particle size of 5 to 20 nanometers. The hole-functional layer material is an inorganic metal compound selected from one or a combination of nickel oxide and copper oxide.

[0164] In the present application, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole-functional layer, and the first electrode 600 is a first anode. The first hole-functional layer is formed using an inorganic metal compound to prevent damage to the subsequent film layers. If an organic compound is used to form the first hole-functional layer, a photoresist layer is required when forming the subsequent film layers. When the photoresist layer is removed, a portion of the first hole-functional layer is also removed, causing damage to the first hole-functional layer and affecting the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0165] B13. Form a patterned insulating layer on the first functional layer.

[0166] A first photoresist layer having a plurality of through holes is formed on the first functional layer, wherein the through holes penetrate the first photoresist layer to expose a portion of the first functional layer; then, a patterned insulating layer is formed in the through holes; and then, the first photoresist layer is removed.

[0167] One implementation method:

[0168] In a yellow light clean room, the material of the first photoresist layer is spin-coated on the first functional layer 100 at a spin-coating speed of 3000 rpm for 30 seconds, and then heat-treated at 110 degrees Celsius for 2 minutes.

[0169] Then, the material of the first photoresist layer is exposed under ultraviolet light using a first photolithography mask for 5 seconds.

[0170] The substrate was then developed in AZ726 developer (3:1 to water) for 25 seconds to form a first photoresist layer having a through hole. The first photoresist layer was AZ1512 photoresist. The through hole penetrated the first photoresist layer to expose a portion of the first functional layer 100. The through hole was correspondingly provided on the first functional layer 100 and was located above the first functional layer 100.

[0171] Then, at a vacuum degree of 3×10 -4 Under the condition of Pa, a patterned insulating layer material is evaporated in the through hole by electron beam at an evaporation rate of 1 Å / s, a evaporation time of 300 seconds, and an evaporation thickness of 30 nm to form a patterned insulating layer 200 .

[0172] Then, the first electrode 600 , the first functional layer 100 and the patterned insulating layer 200 are soaked in acetone, and the first photoresist layer is removed by ultrasonic treatment.

[0173] The patterned insulating layer 200 is divided into a plurality of patterned insulating layer segments and a patterned insulating layer connecting segment connecting the plurality of patterned insulating layer segments. Each adjacent patterned insulating layer segment is spaced apart, resulting in a shape similar to an interdigitated structure. The patterned insulating layer 200 exposes a portion of the first functional layer 100. The material of the patterned insulating layer 200 includes one or a combination of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, and silicon oxynitride.

[0174] The thickness D of the patterned insulating layer 200 is 30 nm to 100 nm. Specifically, the thickness D of the patterned insulating layer 200 can be 30 nm, 34 nm, 44 nm, 58 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 94 nm, or 100 nm.

[0175] In this application, the thickness D of the patterned insulating layer 200 is set to 30 nm-100 nm to prevent the subsequent patterned second functional layer 400 from contacting the first functional layer 100, thereby avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10 and ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0176] B14. Form a patterned second electrode on the patterned insulating layer.

[0177] A second photoresist layer having a plurality of vias is formed on the first functional layer and the patterned insulating layer, wherein the vias correspond to the patterned insulating layer, and the vias penetrate the second photoresist layer to expose a portion of the patterned insulating layer; then, a patterned second electrode is formed in the via, wherein the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode on the first functional layer is within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second electrode on the first functional layer.

[0178] One implementation method:

[0179] After drying the first electrode 600, the first functional layer 100 and the patterned insulating layer 200, the second photoresist layer material is spin-coated on the first functional layer 100 and the patterned insulating layer 200 at a spin-coating speed of 3000 rpm for 30 seconds; then, heat-treated at 110 degrees Celsius for 2 minutes.

[0180] Then, the material of the second photoresist layer is exposed to light under an ultraviolet lamp using a second photolithography mask for 5 seconds.

[0181] The second photoresist layer is then developed in AZ726 developer (3:1 to water) for 25 seconds. This results in the second photoresist layer having a plurality of vias. The vias penetrate the second photoresist layer to expose a portion of the patterned insulating layer 200. The vias are located in the second photoresist layer. The second photoresist layer is AZ1512.

[0182] Then, at a vacuum degree of 3×10 -4Pa, a conductive material is evaporated in the via hole by electron beam at a rate of 1 angstrom / second, a deposition time of 900 seconds, and a deposition thickness of 90 nanometers to form a patterned second electrode 300. The patterned second electrode 300 is divided into a plurality of patterned second electrode 300 segments and a patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment connected to the plurality of patterned second electrode 300 segments, that is, the planar shape of the patterned second electrode 300 is similar to the shape of an interdigitated structure, and the patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment is used to connect to an external circuit; each patterned second electrode 300 segment is corresponding to a patterned insulating layer 200 segment, and a patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment is corresponding to a patterned insulating layer 200 connecting segment. Each patterned second electrode 300 segment is arranged on the first functional layer 100. The orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 segment corresponding to a patterned second electrode 300 segment on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 segment corresponding to a patterned second electrode 300 segment on the first functional layer 100, and the orthographic projection of a patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 connecting segment corresponding to a patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment on the first functional layer 100, that is, the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100.

[0183] In the present application, the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100, so as to avoid the subsequent patterned second functional layer 400 from contacting the first functional layer 100, thereby avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10, and ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0184] In one embodiment, the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is 50 nm-100 nm. Specifically, the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 can be 50 nm, 60 nm, 75 nm, 90 nm, or 100 nm.

[0185] In the present application, the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is set to 50 nanometers to 100 nanometers. When the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is within this range, the resistance of the patterned second electrode 300 is low, and the current is less obstructed, thereby improving the conductivity of the patterned second electrode 300. If the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is set to less than 50 nanometers, the resistance of the patterned second electrode 300 is too high, thereby affecting the conductivity of the patterned second electrode 300 and causing the light-emitting device 10 to not display normally. If the thickness d of the patterned second electrode 300 is set to greater than 100 nanometers, the resistance of the patterned second electrode 300 is too low, causing damage to the light-emitting device 10.

[0186] In one embodiment, a distance between an edge of an orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 and an edge of an orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 disposed corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is greater than 20 nanometers. Specifically, the distance between an edge of an orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 and an edge of an orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 disposed corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 may be greater than 20 nanometers, 30 nanometers, 60 nanometers, 80 nanometers, 90 nanometers, or 105 nanometers, etc.

[0187] In the present application, the distance from the edge of the positive projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the positive projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be greater than 20 nanometers, further avoiding the subsequent second functional layer 400 from contacting the first functional layer 100, further avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10, and further ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0190] The conductivity of Ag is 6.3x10 7 S / m, the electrical conductivity of Al is 3.77x10 7 S / m, the conductivity of Au is 4.42x10 7 S / m, the conductivity of Ni is 1.4×10 7S / m, if Ag, Al and Au are used to form the patterned second anode, the performance of the light emitting device 10 can be improved because the conductivity of Ag, Al and Au is greater than that of Ni and Cu.

[0191] In another embodiment, the first electrode 600 is a first anode, the first functional layer 100 is a first hole functional layer, the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second cathode, the patterned second cathode material is a cathode material, and the cathode material is selected from one or more combinations of ITO, FTO, Fe, Cu, Al, Sn, Zn and Ag.

[0192] B15. Form a patterned second functional layer on the patterned second electrode.

[0193] There are two methods for forming the patterned second functional layer on the patterned second electrode:

[0194] The first method is: first remove the second photoresist layer; then, oxidize the patterned second electrode to form a patterned second functional layer on the surface of the patterned second electrode, wherein the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer on the first functional layer is within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second functional layer on the first functional layer.

[0195] One implementation method:

[0196] The first electrode 600 , the first functional layer 100 , the patterned insulating layer 200 , the patterned second electrode 300 and the second photoresist layer are soaked in acetone, and the second photoresist layer is removed by ultrasonic treatment.

[0197] Then, the first electrode 600, the first functional layer 100, the patterned insulating layer 200, and the patterned second electrode 300 were placed on a hot plate for heat treatment. A patterned second functional layer was formed on the surface of the patterned second electrode 300. The heat treatment temperature was 300 degrees Celsius and the heat treatment time was 30 minutes.

The patterned second functional layer 400 was divided into a plurality of patterned second functional layer segments and a patterned second functional layer connecting segment connecting the plurality of patterned second functional layer segments. In other words, the planar shape of the patterned second functional layer was an interdigitated structure.

[0198] In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 segment on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 segment corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 segment on the first functional layer 100, and the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 connecting segment on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 connecting segment corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 connecting segment on the first functional layer 100, that is, the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100, and the patterned second functional layer 4 ... The orthographic projection of the second electrode 300 segment on the patterned insulating layer 200 segment is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 segment corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 segment on the patterned insulating layer 200 segment, and the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment on the patterned insulating layer 200 connecting segment is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 connecting segment corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 connecting segment on the patterned insulating layer 200 connecting segment, that is, the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200.

[0199] In the present application, the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100, and the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200, further avoiding contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, further avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10, and thus ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0200] In one embodiment, the distance W from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is greater than 5 nanometers, and the distance from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is greater than 20 nanometers. Specifically, the distance W from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 can be greater than 5 nanometers, 10 nanometers, 15 nanometers, 50 nanometers or 100 nanometers, etc., and the distance from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 can be greater than 20 nanometers, 25 nanometers, 50 nanometers, 80 nanometers, 100 nanometers or 105 nanometers, etc.

[0201] In the present application, the distance W from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is set to be greater than 5 nanometers, and the distance from the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 to the edge of the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is greater than 20 nanometers, so as to avoid contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, thereby avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10, and ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0202] In one embodiment, the material of the patterned second electrode 300 is a conductive material, and the material of the patterned second functional layer 400 is an oxide of the conductive material.

[0203] In one embodiment, when the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second cathode, the patterned second functional layer is a patterned second electronic functional layer, the patterned second cathode material is a cathode material, the cathode material is selected from one or a combination of Ti, Zn and Sn, and the patterned second functional layer material is an electronic functional layer material, the electronic functional layer material is selected from one or a combination of TiO2, ZnO and SnO2.

[0204] In another embodiment, when the patterned second electrode 300 is a patterned second anode, the patterned second functional layer 400 is a patterned second hole functional layer, and the patterned second hole functional layer includes at least one of a patterned second hole transport layer and a patterned second hole injection layer, the patterned second electrode 300 material is an anode material, the anode material is selected from one or a combination of Ni and Cu, and the patterned second hole functional layer material is a hole functional layer material, and the hole functional layer material is selected from one or a combination of nickel oxide and copper oxide.

[0205] In the present application, after the second photoresist layer is removed, the surface of the patterned second electrode 300 is oxidized to form a patterned second functional layer 400, and the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 formed on the first functional layer 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100, thereby avoiding contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, further avoiding leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10, and thus ensuring normal display of the light-emitting device 10.

[0206] The second method is: first deposit a patterned second functional layer material on the patterned insulating layer and the patterned second electrode to form a patterned second functional layer, wherein the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer on the first functional layer is within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer corresponding to the patterned second functional layer on the first functional layer; then, remove the second photoresist layer.

[0207] One implementation method:

[0208] The patterned second functional layer is formed on the patterned second electrode 300 by an electrochemical deposition method or an evaporation method. The specific description is as follows:

[0209] The patterned second functional layer 400 is formed by an electrochemical deposition method: the first electrode 600, the first functional layer 100, the patterned insulating layer 200 and the patterned second electrode 300 are placed in a 0.1 mol / L aqueous solution of the second functional layer material, and a saturated calomel electrode is used as a reference electrode to apply a voltage of 1.1 volts to the patterned second electrode 300 for 120 seconds to form the patterned second functional layer 400; then, the second photoresist layer is removed.

[0210] The patterned second functional layer is formed by an evaporation method: a patterned second functional layer material is evaporated on the patterned second electrode 300 and the patterned insulating layer 200 to form a patterned second functional layer; then, the second photoresist layer is removed.

[0211] In one embodiment, when the patterned second electrode is a patterned second anode, the patterned second functional layer is a patterned second hole functional layer, the patterned second anode material is an anode material, the anode material is selected from one or more combinations of Pt, Ni, Cu, Ag, Al and Au, and the patterned second hole functional layer material is a hole functional layer material, the hole functional layer material is selected from nickel oxide, copper oxide, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate, cuprous thiocyanate, polyvinyl carbazole, poly (N, N'-bis (4-butylphenyl) -N, N'-bis (phenyl) biphenyl One or more combinations of the following: 1, 2, 3, 4-diaminobenzene (TPD), 2, 4-diaminobenzene (DBP), 3, 5-diaminobenzene (DBP), 4, 4'-diaminobenzene (DBP), 2, 5-diaminobenzene (DBP), 2, 6-diaminobenzene (DBP), 3, 7-diaminobenzene (DBP), 4, 4'-diaminobenzene (DBP), 2, 8-diaminobenzene (DBP), 2, 9-diaminobenzene (DBP), 3, 5-diaminobenzene (DBP), 4, 4'-diaminobenzene (DBP), 2, 8-diaminobenzene (DBP), 2, 9 ...8-diaminobenzene (DBP), 2, 9-diaminobenzene (DBP

[0212] In another embodiment, when the patterned second electrode is a patterned second cathode, the patterned second functional layer is a patterned second electronic functional layer, the patterned second cathode material is a conductive material, and the conductive material is selected from one or more combinations of ITO, FTO, Fe, Cu, Al, Sn, Zn and Ag, that is, the patterned second cathode is selected from one or more combinations of ITO, FTO, Fe, Cu, Al, Sn, Zn and Ag, and the patterned second electronic functional layer material is an electronic functional layer material, and the electronic functional layer material is selected from TiO2, ZnO, SnO, ZnMgO, AlZnO, ZnSnO, ZrO, AlZnMgO, Li-doped TiO2, Ru-doped TiO2, doped graphene, non-doped graphene, C 60 , GaZnO and ZnMgLiO or a combination of several thereof.

[0213] In the present application, after forming the patterned second electrode 300 in the via hole, the patterned second functional layer 400 is formed in the via hole by electrochemical deposition or evaporation, and finally, the second photoresist layer is removed. This can avoid the presence of numerous surface defects in the nickel oxide patterned second functional layer 400 or the copper oxide patterned second functional layer 400 prepared by heating and oxidizing the patterned second electrode 300 in air, and the difficulty in controlling the degree of oxidation, which is detrimental to carrier transport, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0214] In the present application, the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the patterned insulating layer 200 is arranged to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the patterned insulating layer 200, which is arranged corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300. This prevents the patterned second functional layer 400 from contacting the first functional layer 100, thereby further preventing leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. The orthographic projection of the patterned second functional layer 400 on the first functional layer 100 is arranged to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 on the first functional layer 100, which is arranged corresponding to the patterned second functional layer 400. This further prevents contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100, thereby further preventing leakage current problems in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0251] Example 2

[0252] It should be noted that the difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that: in step B15, the patterned second hole transport layer is formed on the patterned insulating layer 200 and the patterned second anode by the electrochemical deposition method in the second method, the patterned second anode material is an anode material, and the anode material is selected from one or more combinations of Pt, Ni, Cu, Ag, Al and Au, and the patterned second hole transport layer material is a hole functional layer material, and the hole functional layer material is selected from nickel oxide, copper oxide, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate, cuprous thiocyanate, polyvinylcarbazole, poly (N, N'-bis (4- The present invention also provides one or more of the following materials: poly(butylphenyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine (Poly-TPD), poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-bis-N,N-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine) (PFB), 4,4',4''-tris(carbazol-9-yl)triphenylamine (TCTA), 4,4'-bis(9-carbazol)biphenyl (CBP), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD), and N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(1-naphthyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB). Preferably, the patterned second anode material is Ag, the patterned second hole transport layer material is PEDOT:PSS, and after step B14, the second photoresist layer is not removed first, but is removed after step B15.

[0253] Specifically, after forming a patterned second anode using Ag, the first cathode, the first electron transport layer, the patterned insulating layer 200 and the patterned second anode are placed in a 0.1 mol / L sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSSNa) and a 0.015 mol / L 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) aqueous solution, and a saturated calomel electrode is used as a reference electrode.

[0254] In this application, after forming a patterned second anode in the via, a patterned second hole transport layer is formed in the via by electrochemical deposition, and finally, the second photoresist layer is removed. This can avoid the numerous surface defects of the nickel oxide patterned second hole transport layer or the copper oxide patterned second hole transport layer prepared by heating and oxidizing the second anode in air, and the difficulty in controlling the degree of oxidation, which is detrimental to hole transport, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

At the same time, the light-emitting layer 500 is not wrapped in the middle of other film layers of the light-emitting device 10, which causes the other film layers to block the fluorescence of the light-emitting layer 500, thereby improving the display effect of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0272] Comparative Example 1

[0273] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4Schematic diagram of the structure of a light-emitting device in the prior art.

[0274] Comparative Example 2

[0275] Comparative Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that the light-emitting device is a conventional light-emitting device, i.e., the light-emitting device includes an anode, an electron transport layer, a light-emitting layer, a hole transport layer, and a cathode stacked in sequence.

[0276] See also Figure 5-Figure 7 . Figure 5 This is a voltage-brightness comparison diagram of the light-emitting devices provided in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application. Figure 6 This is a comparison chart of the brightness and external quantum efficiency of the light-emitting devices provided in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application.

[0277] In the present application, a third electron transport layer and a third cathode are provided on the light-emitting layer 500, and the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first electron transport layer is provided to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 provided corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first electron transport layer. The brightness of the light-emitting device 10 can reach a maximum of more than 10 4 When the brightness of the light emitting device 10 is 10 4 When the external quantum efficiency can reach 9%, and the service life can be as long as 15 hours, the display effect of the light emitting device 10 is improved. In the prior art, the third electron transport layer and the third cathode are not provided, and the brightness of the light emitting device is less than 10 4 In the prior art, when the brightness of the light emitting device is 10 4, its external quantum efficiency can only reach a maximum of 4%. Therefore, a third electron transport layer and a third cathode are provided on the light-emitting layer 500, which increases the effective contact area between the first electron transport layer and the third electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer 500, increases the amount of electron injection, balances the hole and electron injection in the light-emitting layer 500, and improves the performance and life of the light-emitting device 10. In addition, because the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first electron transport layer is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 on the first electron transport layer, the contact probability between the patterned second hole transport layer and the first electron transport layer can be effectively reduced, avoiding the leakage current problem of the light-emitting device 10, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0278] See also Figure 7-Figure 9 . Figure 8 This is a voltage-brightness comparison diagram of the light-emitting devices provided in Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application. Figure 9 This is a comparison chart of the brightness and external quantum efficiency of the light-emitting devices provided in Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application.

[0279] In the present application, a third electron transport layer and a third cathode are provided on the light-emitting layer 500, and the orthographic projection of the patterned second anode on the first electron transport layer is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 on the first electron transport layer, and Ag is used to form the patterned second anode. The brightness of the light-emitting device 10 can reach a maximum of more than 10 4 ; The brightness of the light emitting device 10 is 10 4 When the external quantum efficiency is 18%, the display effect of the light emitting device 10 is improved. In the prior art, the third electron transport layer and the third cathode are not provided, and the brightness of the light emitting device is less than 10 4 , and the brightness of its light emitting device is 10 4, its external quantum efficiency can only reach 3% at most. Therefore, a third electron transport layer and a third cathode are provided on the light-emitting layer 500, which increases the effective contact area between the first electron transport layer and the third electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer 500, increases the amount of electron injection, balances the hole and electron injection, and improves the performance and life of the light-emitting device 10. In addition, because the orthographic projection of the patterned second anode on the first functional layer 100 is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 on the first electron transport layer, the contact probability of the patterned second hole transport layer and the first electron transport layer can be effectively reduced, avoiding the leakage current problem of the light-emitting device 10, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. At the same time, due to the good conductivity of Ag, the hole transport efficiency can be improved, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. In addition, the patterned second hole transport layer can be prepared by electrochemical deposition. The material of the patterned second hole transport layer prepared by the electrochemical deposition method has a wider selection. For example, if the cost budget is not high, cheap materials can be selected, thereby reducing costs.

[0280] See also Figure 7 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 . Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the leakage current data of the light emitting device provided in Example 3 of the present application. It should be noted that, Figure 10 Examples 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4 indicate that the device was measured four times.

[0281] In the present application, the orthographic projection of the patterned second anode on the first electron transport layer is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 on the first electron transport layer. The current of the light-emitting device 10 of the present application is stable, that is, the light-emitting device 10 provided by the present application does not have a leakage current problem. In the prior art, the edge of the patterned second electrode 301 coincides with the edge of the patterned insulating layer 201. When Ni is heated in air, Ni is oxidized to form nickel oxide. In this process, nickel oxide is easily formed on the edge of Ni and the underlying patterned insulating layer 201, causing the hole transport material nickel oxide to directly contact the electron transport material of the underlying layer, resulting in a leakage current problem in the light-emitting device. Therefore, the orthographic projection of the patterned second anode on the first electron transport layer is set to be located within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 corresponding to the patterned second anode on the first electron transport layer. On this basis, heating is performed to oxidize Ni to form a patterned second hole transport layer, effectively reducing the contact probability of the patterned second hole transport layer and the first electron transport layer, avoiding the leakage current problem of the light-emitting device 10, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.

[0283] In the present application, the orthographic projection of the patterned second anode on the first electron transport layer is set to be located in the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 on the first electron transport layer, and Ag is used to form the patterned second anode. The brightness of the light emitting device 10 can reach a maximum of more than 10 4 ; The brightness of the light emitting device 10 is 10 4 When the external quantum efficiency can reach 16%, the display effect of the light emitting device 10 is improved. 4 In the prior art, the edge of the patterned second electrode 301 coincides with the edge of the patterned insulating layer 201, and the brightness of the light-emitting device is 10 4 When the external quantum efficiency is at most 9%, the light-emitting device 10 of the present application can effectively reduce the contact probability between the patterned second hole transport layer and the first electron transport layer, avoiding the leakage current problem in the light-emitting device 10, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. At the same time, due to the good conductivity of Ag, the hole transport efficiency can be improved, thereby improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. In addition, the patterned second hole transport layer can be prepared by electrochemical deposition. The material of the patterned second hole transport layer prepared by electrochemical deposition has a wider selection. For example, if the cost budget is not high, cheaper materials can be selected, thereby reducing costs.

[0284] The present embodiment discloses a light-emitting device 10 and a method for manufacturing the same. A third functional layer 700 and a third electrode 800 are disposed on the light-emitting layer 500. This increases the effective contact area between the first functional layer 100 and the third functional layer 700 and the light-emitting layer 500, thereby improving the amount of carrier injection, balancing hole and electron injection, and enhancing the performance and lifespan of the light-emitting device 10. Furthermore, because the orthographic projection of the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100 is positioned within the orthographic projection of the patterned insulating layer 200 disposed corresponding to the patterned second electrode 300 on the first functional layer 100, the probability of contact between the patterned second functional layer 400 and the first functional layer 100 is effectively reduced, thereby avoiding leakage current in the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10. The other film layers of the light-emitting device 10 are formed first, and the light-emitting layer 500 is formed last, so as to avoid damage to the light-emitting layer 500 by the other film layers during material deposition. At the same time, it is also avoided that the light-emitting layer 500 is wrapped in the middle of the other film layers of the light-emitting device 10, which will cause the other film layers to block the fluorescence of the light-emitting layer 500, thereby improving the display effect of the light-emitting device 10 and improving the performance of the light-emitting device 10.
