[0001] Cross-references to related applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0185242, filed in Korea on December 22, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and more specifically, to an organic light-emitting diode with high display performance and an organic light-emitting display device including the organic light-emitting diode. Background Technology

[0004] The demand for flat panel display devices with small footprints is increasing. Among flat panel display devices, organic light-emitting display technology, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and also referred to as organic electroluminescent devices, is developing rapidly.

[0005] The OLED emits light by injecting electrons from the cathode (which acts as an electron injection electrode) and holes from the anode (which acts as a hole injection electrode) into the light-emitting material layer. The electrons and holes combine to generate excitons, and the excitons are then transformed from an excited state to a ground state.

[0006] Fluorescent materials can be used as light emitters in OLEDs. However, the luminescence efficiency of fluorescent materials is limited because only singlet excitons participate in luminescence. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure relate to an OLED and an organic light-emitting display device that substantially eliminate one or more problems associated with the limitations and disadvantages of the prior art.

[0008] One object of this disclosure is to provide an OLED and organic light-emitting display device with high display performance.

[0009] Additional features and aspects will be set forth in the following description and will be apparent in part from the description or may be learned by practicing the inventive concept provided herein. Other features and aspects of the present disclosure concept may be realized and obtained by means of structures particularly emphasized in or derived therefrom in the written description, as well as the claims of this disclosure and the accompanying drawings.

[0010] To achieve these and other advantages of embodiments according to this disclosure, as described herein, one aspect of this disclosure is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) comprising: a reflective electrode; a transparent electrode facing the reflective electrode; and an organic light-emitting layer comprising a first light-emitting portion and a second light-emitting portion and located between the reflective electrode and the transparent electrode, wherein each of the first light-emitting portion and the second light-emitting portion comprises a phosphorescent light-emitting layer and a fluorescent light-emitting layer, and wherein in at least one of the first light-emitting portion and the second light-emitting portion, the fluorescent light-emitting layer is positioned closer to the transparent electrode than the phosphorescent light-emitting layer.

[0011] Another aspect of this disclosure is an organic light-emitting display device, comprising: a substrate including a red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region; and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) disposed on or above the substrate and located in the green pixel region, the OLED including: a reflective electrode; a transparent electrode facing the reflective electrode; and an organic light-emitting layer including a first light-emitting portion and a second light-emitting portion and located between the reflective electrode and the transparent electrode, wherein each of the first light-emitting portion and the second light-emitting portion includes a phosphorescent light-emitting layer and a fluorescent light-emitting layer, and wherein in at least one of the first light-emitting portion and the second light-emitting portion, the fluorescent light-emitting layer is positioned closer to the transparent electrode than the phosphorescent light-emitting layer.

[0012] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory, intended to provide further explanation of the claimed inventive concept. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The accompanying drawings are included in and form part of this application to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure.

[0021] Figure 8 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting display device according to the sixth embodiment of this disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0022] Reference will now be made in detail to some embodiments and preferred implementations shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram of the organic light-emitting display device disclosed herein.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the organic light-emitting display device includes a gate line GL, a data line DL, a power line PL, a switching thin-film transistor (TFT) Ts, a driving TFT Td, a storage capacitor Cst, and an OLED D. The gate line GL and the data line DL intersect each other to define a pixel region P. The pixel region may include a red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region.

[0025] The switching TFT Ts is connected to the gate line GL and the data line DL, and the driving TFT Td and the storage capacitor Cst are connected to the switching TFT Ts and the power line PL. The OLED D is connected to the driving TFT Td.

[0026] In the organic light-emitting display device, when the switch TFT Ts is turned on by a gate signal applied to the gate line GL, a data signal from the data line DL is applied to the gate of the driving TFT Td and the electrode of the storage capacitor Cst.

[0027] When the driving TFT Td is turned on by a data signal, current is supplied to the OLED D from the power line PL. As a result, the OLED D emits light. In this case, when the driving TFT Td is turned on, the current level applied to the OLED D from the power line PL is determined, thereby enabling the OLED D to produce grayscale.

[0028] The storage capacitor Cst is used to maintain the gate voltage of the driving TFT Td when the switching TFT Ts is turned off. Therefore, even when the switching TFT Ts is turned off, the current level applied to the OLED D from the power line PL is maintained until the next frame.

[0029] Therefore, the organic light-emitting display device displays the desired image.

[0030] Figure 2 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the organic light-emitting display device 100 includes a substrate 110, a TFT Tr on or above the substrate 110, a planarization layer 150 covering the TFT Tr, and an OLEDD located on the planarization layer 150 and connected to the TFT Tr. Red pixel regions, green pixel regions, and blue pixel regions can be defined on the substrate 110.

[0032] The substrate 110 may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible substrate may be one of a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, and a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.

[0033] A buffer layer 122 is formed on the substrate, and the TFT Tr is formed on the buffer layer 122. The buffer layer 122 may be omitted. For example, the buffer layer 122 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material, such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

[0034] A semiconductor layer 120 is formed on the buffer layer 122. The semiconductor layer 120 may comprise an oxide semiconductor material or polysilicon.

[0035] When the semiconductor layer 120 comprises an oxide semiconductor material, a light-shielding pattern (not shown) can be formed beneath the semiconductor layer 120. Light reaching the semiconductor layer 120 is shielded or blocked by the light-shielding pattern, thereby preventing thermal degradation of the semiconductor layer 120. On the other hand, when the semiconductor layer 120 comprises polycrystalline silicon, impurities can be doped onto both sides of the semiconductor layer 120.

[0036] A gate insulating layer 124 is formed on the semiconductor layer 120. The gate insulating layer 124 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

[0037] A gate 130, formed of a conductive material such as a metal, is formed on the gate insulating layer 124 corresponding to the center of the semiconductor layer 120. Figure 2 In this configuration, the gate insulating layer 124 is formed over the entire surface of the substrate 110. Alternatively, the gate insulating layer 124 may be patterned to have the same shape as the gate 130.

[0038] An interlayer insulating layer 132 is formed on the gate 130 and over the entire surface of the substrate 110. The interlayer insulating layer 132 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material (e.g., silicon oxide or silicon nitride) or an organic insulating material (e.g., benzocyclobutene or photopropylene).

[0039] The interlayer insulating layer 132 includes first and second contact holes 134 and 136 exposing both sides of the semiconductor layer 120. The first and second contact holes 134 and 136 are located on both sides of the gate 130 and spaced apart from the gate 130.

[0040] The first and second contact holes 134 and 136 are formed through the gate insulating layer 124. Alternatively, when the gate insulating layer 124 is patterned to have the same shape as the gate 130, the first and second contact holes 134 and 136 are formed only through the interlayer insulating layer 132.

[0041] Source 144 and drain 146, formed of conductive material such as metal, are formed on the interlayer insulating layer 132.

[0042] The source 144 and the drain 146 are spaced apart from each other relative to the gate 130 and contact the two sides of the semiconductor layer 120 through the first and second contact holes 134 and 136, respectively.

[0043] The semiconductor layer 120, gate 130, source 144, and drain 146 constitute a TFT Tr. The TFT Tr serves as a driving element. That is, the TFT Tr drives the TFT Td (…). Figure 1 ).

[0044] In the TFT Tr, the gate 130, source 144, and drain 146 are located above the semiconductor layer 120. That is, the TFT Tr has a coplanar structure.

[0045] Alternatively, in the TFT Tr, the gate may be located below the semiconductor layer, and the source and drain may be located above the semiconductor layer, allowing the TFT Tr to have an inverted staggered structure. In this case, the semiconductor layer may comprise amorphous silicon.

[0046] Although not shown, the gate lines and data lines intersect each other to define a pixel area, and the switching TFT is formed to connect to the gate lines and data lines. The switching TFT is connected to the TFT Tr, which serves as a driving element. Furthermore, a power line parallel to and spaced apart from one of the gate lines and data lines, and a storage capacitor for maintaining the gate voltage of the TFT Tr within a frame, may be further formed.

[0047] A planarization layer 150 is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 110 to cover the source and drain electrodes 144 and 146. The planarization layer 150 provides a flat top surface and has a drain contact hole 152 that exposes the drain electrode 146 of the TFT Tr.

[0048] The OLED D is disposed on the planarization layer 150 and includes a first electrode 210 connected to the drain 146 of the TFT Tr, an organic light-emitting layer 220, and a second electrode 230. The organic light-emitting layer 220 and the second electrode 230 are stacked sequentially on the first electrode 210. The OLED D is located in each of the red, green, and blue pixel regions and emits red, green, and blue light, respectively.

[0049] The first electrode 210 is formed in each pixel region. The first electrode 210 may be an anode and may include a transparent conductive oxide material layer and a reflective layer. The transparent conductive oxide material layer may be formed of a conductive material such as transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and has a relatively high work function. That is, the first electrode 210 may be a reflective electrode.

[0050] Alternatively, the first electrode 210 may have a single-layer structure with a transparent conductive oxide material layer. That is, the first electrode 210 may be a transparent electrode.

[0051] For example, the transparent conductive oxide material layer can be formed from one of indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), cerium-doped indium oxide (ICO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (Al:ZnO, AZO), and the reflective layer can be formed from silver (Ag), an alloy of Ag with palladium (Pd), copper (Cu), indium (In), and neodymium (Nd), as well as an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. For example, the first electrode 210 can have an ITO / Ag / ITO or ITO / APC / ITO structure.

[0052] Furthermore, a dam layer 160 is formed on the planarization layer 150 to cover the edge of the first electrode 210. That is, the dam layer 160 is located at the boundary of the pixel region and exposes the center of the first electrode 210 in the pixel region.

[0053] The organic light-emitting layer 220, serving as a light-emitting unit, is formed on the first electrode 210. The organic light-emitting layer 220 includes a first light-emitting portion comprising a first green light-emitting material layer (EML) and a second light-emitting portion comprising a second green EML. That is, the organic light-emitting layer 220 has a multilayer structure, such that the OLED D has a series structure.

[0054] Each of the first and second light-emitting portions may further include at least one of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL) to have a multilayer structure. Furthermore, the organic light-emitting layer may also include a charge generation layer (CGL) located between the first and second light-emitting portions.

[0055] As described below, in the OLED D within the green pixel region, each of the first and second green EMLs includes a fluorescent emitting layer comprising a delayed fluorescence compound and a fluorescent compound, and a phosphorescent emitting layer comprising a phosphorescent compound. Therefore, the OLED D has advantages in luminous efficiency, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and lifetime.

[0056] The second electrode 230 is formed above the substrate 110 having the organic light-emitting layer 220. The second electrode 230 covers the entire surface of the display area and can be formed of a conductive material with a relatively low work function to serve as a cathode. For example, the second electrode 230 can be formed of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), silver (Ag), or alloys thereof, such as Mg-Ag alloy (MgAg). The second electrode 230 can have a thin profile, for example, 10 to 30 nm, to be transparent (or translucent).

[0057] Although not shown, the OLED D may also include a capping layer on the second electrode 230. The luminous efficiency of the OLED D can be further improved by the capping layer.

[0058] An encapsulation film (or encapsulation layer) 170 is formed on the second electrode 230 to prevent moisture from penetrating into the OLED D. The encapsulation film 170 includes, but is not limited to, a first inorganic insulating layer 172, an organic insulating layer 174, and a second inorganic insulating layer 176 stacked sequentially.

[0059] Although not shown, the organic light-emitting display device 100 may include color filters corresponding to the red, green, and blue pixel regions. For example, the color filters may be located on or above the OLED D or encapsulation film 170.

[0060] Furthermore, the organic light-emitting display device 100 may also include a cover window (not shown) on or above the encapsulation film 170 or the color filter. In this case, the substrate 110 and the cover window have flexible properties, thereby providing a flexible organic light-emitting display device.

[0061] Figure 3 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting diode according to the second embodiment of this disclosure.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the OLED D1 includes a first electrode 210 as a reflective electrode, a second electrode 230 as a transparent electrode (or semi-transparent electrode) facing the first electrode 210, and an organic light-emitting layer 220 between the two. The organic light-emitting layer 220 includes a first light-emitting portion 310 and a second light-emitting portion 350, wherein the first light-emitting portion 310 includes a first EML 340 comprising the first light-emitting layer 320 and the second light-emitting layer 330, and the second light-emitting portion 350 includes a second EML 380 comprising a third light-emitting layer 360 and a fourth light-emitting layer 370. Furthermore, the organic light-emitting layer 220 may also include a CGL 390 located between the first and second light-emitting portions 310 and 350. Additionally, the OLED D1 may also include a capping layer 290 for enhancing (improving) luminous efficiency.

[0063] The organic light-emitting display device may include a red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region, and the OLED D1 is located in the green pixel region.

[0064] The first electrode 210 can be an anode, and the second electrode 230 can be a cathode. The first electrode 210 is a reflective electrode, and the second electrode 230 is a transparent electrode (or a semi-transparent electrode). For example, the first electrode 210 can have an ITO / Ag / ITO structure, and the second electrode 230 can be formed of MgAg or Al. That is, the first electrode 210 can have a first transmittance, and the second electrode 230 can have a second transmittance greater than the first transmittance.

[0065] In the first light-emitting portion 310, the first light-emitting layer 320 is located between the first electrode 210 and the second light-emitting layer 330. That is, the first light-emitting layer 310 is positioned closer to the first electrode 210, and the second light-emitting layer 310 is positioned closer to the second electrode 230. The first light-emitting layer 320 is a phosphorescent light-emitting layer, and the second light-emitting layer 330 is a fluorescent light-emitting layer.

[0066] In the second light-emitting portion 350, the fourth light-emitting layer 370 is located between the second electrode 230 and the third light-emitting layer 360. That is, the third light-emitting layer 360 is positioned closer to the first electrode 210, and the fourth light-emitting layer 370 is positioned closer to the second electrode 230. The third light-emitting layer 360 is a fluorescent light-emitting layer, and the fourth light-emitting layer 370 is a phosphorescent light-emitting layer. Specifically, in the first light-emitting portion 310, the second light-emitting layer 330, which is a fluorescent light-emitting layer, is positioned closer to the second electrode 230, which is a transparent electrode (or a semi-transparent electrode), while in the second light-emitting portion 350, the fourth light-emitting layer, which is a phosphorescent light-emitting layer, is positioned closer to the second electrode 230, which is a transparent electrode.

[0067] The first luminescent layer 320 includes a first compound 322 as a first host and a second compound 324 as a first phosphorescent dopant (or first phosphorescent emitter). The second luminescent layer 330 includes a third compound 332 as a second host, a fourth compound 334 as an auxiliary host (or auxiliary dopant), and a fifth compound 336 as a first fluorescent dopant (or first fluorescent emitter). The fourth compound 334 is a delayed fluorescence compound.

Various methods for determining HOMO energy levels are known to those skilled in the art. For example, HOMO energy levels can be determined using a conventional surface analyzer, such as the AC3 surface analyzer manufactured by RKI Instruments. This surface analyzer can be used to determine the thickness of a 50 nm thick monolayer thin film (a neat thin film). The LUMO level can be calculated as follows: LUMO = HOMO - band gap. The band gap can be calculated using any conventional method known to those skilled in the art, such as from UV-Vis measurements of a 50 nm thick monolayer thin film. For example, it can be done using an SCINCO S-3100 spectrophotometer. The HOMO and LUMO values ​​of the compounds of the examples and embodiments disclosed herein can be determined in this way. That is, the HOMO and LUMO values ​​can be values ​​determined experimentally or empirically for the thin film (e.g., a 50 nm film).
