Detailed Implementation

[0036] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a display panel. The display panel includes a light-emitting structure, which includes a first electrode 1, a first light-emitting unit 2, and a second electrode 3. The first light-emitting unit 2 is disposed on one side of the first electrode 1, and the second electrode 3 is disposed on the side of the first light-emitting unit 2 facing away from the first electrode 1.

[0038] The first electrode 1 can be either a cathode or an anode. When the first electrode 1 is an anode, the second electrode 3 is a cathode; conversely, when the first electrode 1 is a cathode, the second electrode 3 is an anode.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, preferably, the first electrode 1 is the anode.

[0040] The first electrode 1 is made of an electrode material with a high work function, such as transparent oxide ITO (indium tin oxide) or IZO (tin zinc oxide). When the above electrode material is used, the thickness of the first electrode 1 can be greater than 80 nm and less than 200 nm. In this case, the display panel provided by this application is a bottom-emitting structure.

[0041] The first electrode 1 can also be a composite electrode formed by metals and oxides such as Ag / ITO, Al / ITO, Ag / ITO, or Al / IZO. In this case, the metal thickness in the composite electrode should be greater than 10 nm and less than 100 nm, and the corresponding oxide layer thickness should be greater than 5 nm and less than 20 nm. In this case, the display panel provided in this application is a top-emitting structure.

[0042] The second electrode 3 is therefore a cathode and can be made of a metal with a low work function, such as Al, Ag, or Mg, or an alloy containing a metal with a low work function. When the display panel has a bottom-emitting structure, the thickness of the second electrode 3 is greater than 80 nm to ensure good reflectivity. Preferably, its transmittance for light with a wavelength of 550 nm should be greater than 85%.

[0043] When the display panel has a top-emitting structure, the thickness of the second electrode 3 should be adjusted between 10 nm and 20 nm to ensure its transmittance. Preferably, its transmittance for light with a wavelength of 550 nm should be greater than 45%, and an optical capping layer (CPL) should be applied over the metal layer of the second electrode 3 to improve its optical output. Preferably, the optical capping layer should be formed by vapor deposition of a small molecule material with a high refractive index. Further, its refractive index at 550 nm should be greater than 1.8, and its thickness should be greater than 50 nm and less than 100 nm.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, an encapsulation layer 4 is disposed above the second electrode 3, encapsulating the first electrode 1, the second electrode 3, and the first light-emitting unit 2 inside to prevent damage from the external environment. The encapsulation layer 4 can be encapsulated using UV sealant or thin-film encapsulation (TFE).

[0045] The first light-emitting unit 2 includes a hole injection layer 26, a first hole transport layer 21, a first light-emitting layer 23, a first hole blocking layer 24, a first electron transport layer 25, and an electron injection layer 27 stacked sequentially from bottom to top.

[0046] The first light-emitting layer 23 includes three sub-light-emitting layers 231, namely a red light-emitting layer 2311, a green light-emitting layer 2312, and a blue light-emitting layer 2313, and at least one of the three sub-light-emitting layers 231 contains a material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties. A first common electron blocking layer 22 is also disposed between the first hole transport layer 21 and the first light-emitting layer 23.

[0047] Three sub-light-emitting layers 231 are spaced apart and disposed between the first common electron blocking layer 22 and the first electron transport layer 25. The area of ​​the first common electron blocking layer 22 is greater than or equal to the sum of the areas of the three sub-light-emitting layers 231. The first light-emitting layer 23 also includes a pixel definition layer (PDL) (not shown in the figure), which is disposed between the three sub-light-emitting layers 231, separating the three sub-light-emitting layers 231. Due to process limitations, in this embodiment, the edge regions of the three sub-light-emitting layers 231 may partially overlap. Specifically, the red light-emitting layer 2311 may overlap with the adjacent green light-emitting layer 2312 or blue light-emitting layer 2313 in the edge region.

[0048] An electron blocking layer (EBL) is a layered material used in semiconductor devices. Its main function is to block unnecessary electron transport or leakage within the device, effectively preventing electrons from entering unrelated layers from the electron transport layer or electrodes. This ensures the accuracy and stability of electron injection, contributing to improved electron transport efficiency and luminescence performance. The electron blocking layer also possesses a band barrier, effectively reducing or blocking leakage current. Furthermore, it can optimize interface matching between different materials, bridging energy level differences and improving electron transport efficiency between materials, thereby reducing band bending, reflection, and other non-ideal phenomena.

[0049] Therefore, the traditional approach typically involves placing a corresponding electron blocking layer under each sub-emitting layer 231. The area of ​​this electron blocking layer should be greater than or equal to the area of ​​its corresponding sub-emitting layer 231, with the thickness of the red electron blocking layer being greater than that of the blue electron blocking layer, and the thickness of the blue electron blocking layer being greater than that of the green electron blocking layer. However, traditional electron blocking layers require the use of fine metal masks and vapor deposition to fabricate, which is a complex and costly process.

[0050] Based on the traditional approach, this application sets up a first common electron blocking layer 22, with all three sub-emissive layers 231 located between the first common electron blocking layer 22 and the first electron transport layer 25. This eliminates the need to set up separate electron blocking layers for the sub-emissive layers 231 containing thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials, thereby reducing the number of electron blocking layers, which in turn reduces the number of vapor deposition chambers and fine metal films, and lowers the manufacturing difficulty and cost.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, at least one sub-emitting layer 231 mentioned in this application contains a material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties, which means that one sub-emitting layer 231 can be thermally activated delayed fluorescence doped, or two or even all sub-emitting layers 231 can be thermally activated delayed fluorescence doped.

[0052] When thermally activated delayed fluorescence doping is performed on only one sub-emissive layer 231, please refer to... Figure 1 As shown, taking the thermally activated delayed fluorescence doping of the green emitting layer 2312 as an example, the green emitting layer 2312 does not need to have a separate electron blocking layer; the electron blocking effect can be achieved solely through the first shared electron blocking layer 22. In this case, the red emitting layer 2311 and the blue emitting layer 2313 each have corresponding red electron blocking layers 2321 and 2322 below them. Since both the red emitting layer 2311 and the blue emitting layer 2313 are located above the first shared electron blocking layer 22, the first shared electron blocking layer 22 can further enhance the effects of the red electron blocking layer 2321 and the blue electron blocking layer 2322, respectively.

[0053] This embodiment is not limited to thermally activated delayed fluorescence doping of the green light emitting layer 2312; the red light emitting layer 2311 and the blue light emitting layer 2313 can also be used as embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] When performing thermally activated delayed fluorescence doping on the two sub-emissive layers 231, please refer to... Figure 2 As shown, taking thermally activated delayed fluorescence doping of the red light emitting layer 2311 and the green light emitting layer 2312 as an example, the red light emitting layer 2311 and the green light emitting layer 2312 do not need to be provided with their respective separate electron blocking layers. The electron blocking effect can be achieved by the first shared electron blocking layer 22 alone. At this time, a corresponding blue electron blocking layer 2322 is provided below the blue light emitting layer 2313.

[0055] Thermally activated delayed fluorescence doping of the two sub-emitting layers 231 is not limited to red light emitting layer 2311 and green light emitting layer 2312. It is foreseeable that red light emitting layer 2311 and blue light emitting layer 2313, and green light emitting layer 2312 and blue light emitting layer 2313 can also be used as an embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] When performing thermally activated delayed fluorescence doping on the three sub-emissive layers 231, please refer to... Figure 3 As shown, the electron blocking effect on all sub-light-emitting layers 231 can be achieved solely through the first common electron blocking layer 22.

[0057] Specifically, please combine Figure 1Taking thermally activated delayed fluorescence doping of a single green emitting layer 2312 as an example, in this embodiment, the hole injection layer 26 can be fabricated using injection materials such as CuPc, HATCN, or MnO3, or it can be formed by p-type doping in a hole transport material. When using a hole transport material for p-type doping, the p-type dopant can optionally be an oxide-based inorganic material or an axialene-based organic material. The thickness of the hole injection layer 26 should be greater than 1 nm and less than 30 nm. The hole injection layer 26 can be formed by multi-source co-evaporation.

[0058] The first hole transport layer 21 can be formed of a material with good hole transport characteristics, including carbazole and its derivatives with high hole mobility. The thickness of the first hole transport layer 21 should be greater than 1 nm and less than 200 nm.

[0059] The electron injection layer 27 can be formed by vapor deposition using a low work function metal material such as Li, Ca, Yb, or metal salts like LiF or LiQ3. The thickness of the electron injection layer 27 should be greater than 0.5 nm and less than 2 nm. In the embodiments of this application, the electron injection layer 27 is formed by vapor deposition using Yb metal material.

[0060] The first shared electron blocking layer 22 has a high first excited triplet energy level, which is at least as high as the first excited triplet energy level of the thermally activated delayed fluorescent material in the green emitting layer 2312. This layer is used to block exciton leakage from the emitting layer, thereby improving efficiency and stability. The material of the first shared electron blocking layer 22 can be selected from hole-type carbazole or aromatic amine derivatives, and its thickness does not exceed 10 nm.

[0061] The blue electron blocking layer 2322 is used to lower the transport barrier of holes from the adjacent first hole transport layer 21 to the blue light emitting layer 2313. Therefore, the highest occupied orbital energy level of the molecules in this layer should be numerically between the highest occupied orbital energy level of the molecules in the adjacent first hole transport layer 21 and the highest occupied orbital energy level of the molecules in the host material of the blue light emitting layer 2313. Simultaneously, the blue electron blocking layer 2322 also has an exciton blocking effect, ensuring that the energy of the first excited state of the singlet state of this layer is greater than the energy of the first excited state of the singlet state of the blue light emitting layer 2313. Optionally, this layer material can be carbazole or its derivatives.

[0062] The red electron blocking layer 2321 is used to reduce the transport barrier of holes from the adjacent first hole transport layer 21 to the red light emitting layer 2311, while ensuring that excitons in the emitting layer do not leak out. Optionally, the material of this layer can be carbazole and its derivatives.

[0063] The blue emitting layer 2313 comprises at least a host material and a fluorescent guest material. The emission spectrum of the host material and the absorption spectrum of the guest material have significant overlap; under normalized spectral conditions, the area of ​​the overlap region of the host material accounts for no less than 60% of the area of ​​the guest absorption spectrum. The host material may be anthracene, fluorene, pyrene, or their derivatives. The guest material may be a pyrene-based organic compound or a boron-containing organic compound, with a doping concentration adjustable in the range of 0.5% to 5%, and its main emission peak wavelength should be greater than 450 nm and less than 480 nm.

[0064] The green emitting layer 2312 comprises a hole-type host material, a material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TEF) properties, and a fluorescent guest material. The hole-type host material can be a carbazole-based material, the TEF material can be a polycarbazole-based material with a DLA structure, and the fluorescent guest material can be a boron-containing organic compound. The first excited triplet energy level of the host material is higher than that of the TEF material. Preferably, the first excited triplet energy level of the hole-type host material is at least 0.1 eV higher than that of the TEF material. The emission spectrum of the TEF material overlaps significantly with the absorption spectrum of the guest material; optimally, the overlap area of ​​the normalized spectrum of the TEF material should account for more than 60% of the area of ​​the guest absorption spectrum.

[0065] The red emitting layer 2311 comprises at least a P-type host material, an N-type host material, and one emitting guest material. The N-type host material can be a general material or a material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties. The emitting guest material can be a phosphorescent material or a boron-containing fluorescent material. The thickness of the red emitting layer 2311 can be adjusted between greater than 30 nm and less than 80 nm.

[0066] The thickness of the first hole-blocking layer 24 should be greater than 5 nm and less than 30 nm. The first excited triplet energy level of the material in this layer should be greater than the first excited triplet energy level of the material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence characteristics in the connected green emitting layer 2312. Preferably, the difference should be greater than or equal to 0.2 eV. The absolute value of the highest occupied orbital energy level of the molecules in the first hole-blocking layer 24 should be greater than the absolute value of the highest occupied orbital energy level of the molecules in all connected sub-emitting layers 231. Preferably, it should be greater than 0.2 eV. The absolute value of the lowest unoccupied orbital energy level of the molecules in the first hole-blocking layer 24 should be less than the absolute value of the lowest unoccupied orbital energy level of the molecules in all connected sub-emitting layers 231.

[0067] The first electron transport layer 25 can be formed by vapor deposition of a material with good electron transport properties, or it can be formed by doping an electron transport material with LIQ3, Li, Ca, and other materials in a certain proportion. The absolute value of the lowest unoccupied orbital energy level of all the molecules in the first electron transport layer 25 must be greater than the absolute value of the lowest unoccupied orbital energy level of the molecules in the connected first hole blocking layer 24.

[0068] It is worth mentioning that the energy levels and mobilities of the first shared electron blocking layer 22 and the adjacent film layers should satisfy the following relationship:

[0069] |HOMO(G EBL) - HOMO(HTL)| ≤ 0.25 eV, preferably ≤ 0.15 eV

[0070] |HOMO(GEBL) - HOMO(BEBL)| ≤ 0.25 eV, preferably ≤ 0.15 eV

[0071] ∣HOMO(G EBL)-HOMO(R EBL)∣≤0.25eV

[0072] Wherein, HOMO (GEBL) refers to the HOMO energy level value of the first shared electron blocking layer 22, HOMO (HTL) refers to the HOMO energy level value of the first hole transport layer 21 (HBL Hole Transporting Layer), HOMO (BEBL) refers to the HOMO energy level value of the blue electron blocking layer 2322, and HOMO (REBL) refers to the HOMO energy level value of the red electron blocking layer 2321.

[0073] At this time, it is ensured that holes can be successfully injected into the red light emitting layer 2311 and the blue light emitting layer 2313;

[0074] Preferably, since the turn-on voltage of the red light emitting layer 2311 is lower than that of the blue light emitting layer 2313, the potential barrier of the red light emitting layer 2311 should be increased to increase the turn-on voltage of the red light emitting layer 2311 and reduce the voltage difference between the red light emitting layer 2311 and the blue light emitting layer 2313, so as to facilitate better display of the image. Therefore, it is necessary to satisfy |HOMO(GEBL) - HOMO(REBL)| ≥ |HOMO(GEBL) - HOMO(BEBL)|;

[0075] Preferably, since the turn-on voltage of the red light-emitting layer 2311 is lower than that of the blue light-emitting layer 2313, and due to the presence of the first shared electron blocking layer 22, the following hole mobility needs to be satisfied to prevent crosstalk caused by lateral leakage:

[0076] 10 -5 < Hole mobility (GEBL) / Hole mobility (HTL) < 10-3

[0077] 10 -4 < Hole mobility (GEBL) / Hole mobility (REBL) < 10 -2

[0078] 10 -2 < Hole mobility (GEBL) / Hole mobility (BEBL) < 10

[0079] 10 -3 < Hole mobility (BEBL) / Hole mobility (REBL) < 10 -1 .

[0080] Hole mobility (GEBL) refers to the hole mobility of the first common electron blocking layer 22, hole mobility (HTL) refers to the hole mobility of the first hole transport layer 21 (HBL Hole Transporting Layer), hole mobility (BEBL) refers to the hole mobility of the blue electron blocking layer 2322, and hole mobility (REBL) refers to the hole mobility of the red electron blocking layer 2321.

[0081] The light-emitting structure in the above embodiments includes only one light-emitting unit. In another embodiment, please refer to... Figures 4 to 11 As shown, the light-emitting structure provided in this application further includes a charge-generating structure 5 and a second light-emitting unit 6. The charge-generating structure 5 is disposed on the side of the first light-emitting unit 2 facing away from the first electrode 1, and the second light-emitting unit 6 is disposed on the side of the charge-generating structure 5 facing away from the first electrode 1.

[0082] In this embodiment, a light-emitting structure is formed by two light-emitting units connected in series with a charge generation structure 5. Alternatively, a light-emitting structure can be formed by three or more light-emitting units connected in series with a charge generation structure 5. This embodiment does not limit the specific light-emitting structure to this.

[0083] The second light-emitting unit 6 includes a second hole transport layer 61, a second light-emitting layer 63 located between the second hole transport layer 61 and the first electron transport layer 25, and a second common electron blocking layer 62 located between the second hole transport layer 61 and the second light-emitting layer 63. The second light-emitting layer 63 includes three sub-light-emitting layers 231, at least one of which contains a material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties.

[0084] The charge generation structure 5 includes an N-type charge generation layer 51 and a P-type charge generation layer 52.

[0085] The N-type charge generation layer 51 can be formed by doping an electron transport material with a low work function active metal, such as Li, Ca, or Yb.

[0086] The P-type charge generation layer 52 can be formed by doping a hole transport material with a P-type dopant, such as molybdenum oxide. The proportion of P-type dopant in the P-type charge generation layer 52 needs to be higher than the doping proportion in the hole injection layer 26, which is beneficial for charge generation.

[0087] In this embodiment, the structure of the second light-emitting unit 6 is the same as that of the first light-emitting unit 2. The materials constituting each film layer of the second light-emitting unit 6 can be the same as or different from the materials of the first light-emitting unit 2.

[0088] Please refer to Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the first light-emitting layer 23 further includes an auxiliary light-emitting layer 233. The auxiliary light-emitting layer 233 is disposed between the sub-light-emitting layer 231 with doped thermally activated delayed fluorescence characteristics and the first shared electron blocking layer 22. Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, a green auxiliary light-emitting layer 2331 is disposed below the green light-emitting layer 2312.

[0089] The thickness of the green light-assisted luminescent layer 2331 is less than the thickness of the green light-emitting layer 2312. The green light-assisted luminescent layer 2331 includes a luminescent host material and a material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties, and the luminescent host material and the material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties are the same as those in the green light-emitting layer 2312.

[0090] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the red light emitting layer 2311 is thermally activated delayed fluorescence doped, and therefore a red light auxiliary emitting layer 2332 is provided under the red light emitting layer 2311.

[0091] The thickness of the red light-assisted luminescent layer 2332 is less than the thickness of the red light-emitting layer 2311. The red light-assisted luminescent layer 2332 includes a luminescent host material and a material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties, and the luminescent host material and the material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties are the same as those in the red light-emitting layer 2311.

[0092] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, both the red light emitting layer 2311 and the green light emitting layer 2312 are thermally activated delayed fluorescence doped. Therefore, a red light auxiliary emitting layer 2332 and a green light auxiliary emitting layer 2331 are respectively provided under the red light emitting layer 2311 and the green light emitting layer 2312.

[0093] The properties of the red light-assisted luminescent layer 2332 and the green light-assisted luminescent layer 2331 have been described above. Figure 8 The embodiments described herein will not be repeated here.

[0094] like Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, all sub-emitting layers 231 are thermally activated delayed fluorescence doped, and therefore, auxiliary emitting layers 233 are respectively provided under each sub-emitting layer 231. In this embodiment, the auxiliary emitting layers 233 include a green auxiliary emitting layer 2331, a red auxiliary emitting layer 2332, and a blue auxiliary emitting layer 2333.

[0095] The red light-assisted light-emitting layer 2332 and the green light-assisted light-emitting layer 2331 have been described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here. For the blue light-assisted light-emitting layer 2333, the thickness of the blue light-assisted light-emitting layer 2333 is less than the thickness of the blue light-emitting layer 2313. The blue light-assisted light-emitting layer 2333 comprises a light-emitting host material and a material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties, and the light-emitting host material and the material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence properties are the same as those in the blue light-emitting layer 2313.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the red electron blocking layer 2321 includes a first blocking layer 2321a and a second blocking layer 2321b. The first blocking layer 2321a and the second blocking layer 2321b are stacked to form the red electron blocking layer 2321, thereby effectively increasing the voltage of the red light emitting layer 2311, reducing the voltage difference between the red light emitting layer 2311 and the blue light emitting layer 2313, improving crosstalk, improving the device efficiency of the red light emitting layer 2311, and reducing the overall power consumption of the device.
