[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples; such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0038] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display panel provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a light-emitting device layer 10, and the light-emitting device layer 10 includes an anode 11, a first light-emitting layer 12, an n-type charge generation layer 13, a p-type charge formation layer 14, a second light-emitting layer 15, and a cathode 16.

[0039] The first light-emitting layer 12 is disposed on one side of the anode 11; the n-type charge generation layer 13 is disposed on the side of the first light-emitting layer 12 away from the anode 11, and the n-type charge generation layer 13 includes an electron transport material and an n-type dopant material 131; the p-type charge generation layer 14 is disposed on the side of the n-type charge generation layer 13 away from the first light-emitting layer 12, and the p-type charge generation layer 14 includes a hole transport material and a p-type dopant material 141; the second light-emitting layer 15 is disposed on the side of the p-type charge generation layer 14 away from the n-type charge generation layer 13; and the cathode 16 is disposed on the side of the second light-emitting layer 15 away from the p-type charge generation layer 14.

[0040] Furthermore, the light-emitting device layer 10 has a first operating voltage at a preset current density, and the light-emitting device layer 10 has a second operating voltage after operating for a preset time at a preset current density and a first preset temperature. The absolute value of the difference between the first operating voltage and the second operating voltage is a1, a1 is less than or equal to 1V, and the first preset temperature is greater than or equal to 50℃.

[0041] During application, since the n-type charge generation layer 13 and the p-type charge generation layer 14 are adjacent, an electrochemical reaction occurs at the interface between the n-type doped material 131 in the n-type charge generation layer 13 and the p-type doped material 131 in the p-type charge generation layer 14 under high temperature conditions. This reaction damages the p-type doped material 141, causing structural defects in the p-type charge generation layer 14, which in turn causes a sharp increase in the operating voltage of the light-emitting device layer 10. In the display panel provided in this embodiment of the invention, after the light-emitting device layer 10 operates at a high temperature greater than or equal to 50°C and at a preset current density for a preset time, the absolute value of the difference between its second operating voltage and its first operating voltage at the preset current density is less than or equal to 1V. This results in better stability of the light-emitting device layer at high temperatures, effectively reducing the reactivity at the interface between the n-type charge generation layer 13 and the p-type charge generation layer 14 at high temperatures, and improving the stability and display effect of the display panel.

[0042] In one embodiment, please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display panel provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a substrate 20, a thin film transistor layer 30 disposed on the substrate 20, and a light-emitting device layer 10 disposed on the side of the thin film transistor layer 30 away from the substrate 20.

[0043] The thin-film transistor layer 30 contains multiple thin-film transistors, and the light-emitting device layer 10 can be connected to the thin-film transistors. The thin-film transistors can be used as switches to control the on / off state of signals input to the light-emitting device layer 10.

[0044] Specifically, the light-emitting device layer 10 includes an anode 11, a first light-emitting layer 12 disposed on one side of the anode 11, an n-type charge generating layer 13 disposed on the side of the first light-emitting layer 12 away from the anode 11, a p-type charge generating layer 14 disposed on the side of the n-type charge generating layer 13 away from the first light-emitting layer 12, a second light-emitting layer 15 disposed on the side of the p-type charge generating layer 14 away from the n-type charge generating layer 13, and a cathode 16 disposed on the side of the second light-emitting layer 15 away from the p-type charge generating layer 14.

[0045] The anode 11 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting device layer 10 close to the thin-film transistor layer 30, and the anode 11 can be connected to the thin-film transistor in the thin-film transistor layer 30 to receive signals.

[0046] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 The light-emitting device layer 10 further includes a hole injection layer 171 disposed on the side of the anode 11 near the first light-emitting layer 12, a second hole transport layer 172 disposed between the hole injection layer 171 and the first light-emitting layer 12, a first electron transport layer 181 disposed between the first light-emitting layer 12 and the n-type charge generation layer 13, a first hole transport layer 173 disposed between the p-type charge generation layer 14 and the second light-emitting layer 15, a second electron transport layer 182 disposed on the side of the second light-emitting layer 15 near the cathode 16, and an electron injection layer 183 disposed between the second electron transport layer 182 and the cathode 16.

[0047] It should be noted that the display panel provided in the embodiments of the present invention is a stacked OLED display panel, that is, the light-emitting device layer 10 has multiple light-emitting layers. In this embodiment of the present invention, two light-emitting layers are used as an example for explanation. An n-type charge generation layer and a p-type charge generation layer are provided between two adjacent light-emitting layers.

[0048] In addition, an electron blocking layer can be provided on the side of the first light-emitting layer 12 near the anode 11, and a hole blocking layer can be provided on the side near the cathode 16. Similarly, an electron blocking layer can be provided on the side of the second light-emitting layer 15 near the anode 11, and a hole blocking layer can be provided on the side near the cathode 16.

[0049] In one embodiment, the anode 11 may be made of ITO material, and the cathode 16 may be made of at least one of Mg and Ag.

[0050] Furthermore, the n-type charge generation layer 13 can be formed by doping an electron transport material with an n-type dopant 131, while the p-type charge generation layer 14 can be formed by doping a hole transport material with a p-type dopant 141. In one embodiment, the n-type dopant 131 can include active alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and their salt compounds, such as lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, ytterbium, lithium fluoride, sodium fluoride, lithium carbonate, cesium carbonate, lithium nitride, etc., while the p-type dopant 141 can include at least one of metallic materials and organic materials. Therefore, at least the n-type charge generation layer 13 contains an n-type dopant 131, and the p-type charge generation layer 14 contains a p-type dopant 141.

[0051] In one embodiment, the mass percentage content of p-type doped material 141 in p-type charge generation layer 14 is greater than or equal to 0.1% and less than or equal to 20%, for example, it can be 0.1%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%, or 20%; the mass percentage content of n-type doped material 131 in n-type charge generation layer 13 is greater than or equal to 0.1% and less than or equal to 20%, for example, it can be 0.1%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%, or 20%.

[0052] Furthermore, the light-emitting device layer 10 has a first operating voltage at a preset current density, and after operating at a preset current density and a first preset temperature for a preset time, the light-emitting device layer 10 has a second operating voltage, and the absolute value of the difference between the first operating voltage and the second operating voltage is a1, a1 is less than or equal to 1V, and the first preset temperature is greater than or equal to 50℃; thereby enabling the light-emitting device layer to have better stability at high temperatures, effectively reducing the reactivity of the interface between the n-type charge generation layer 13 and the p-type charge generation layer 14 at high temperatures, and improving the stability and display effect of the display panel.

[0053] In one embodiment, the light-emitting device layer 10 has a third working voltage after operating for a preset time at a preset current density and a second preset temperature. The absolute value of the difference between the first working voltage and the third working voltage is a2, where a2 is less than a1, and the second preset temperature is less than 50°C. That is, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention has good stability even at non-high temperatures. At temperatures below 50°C, the reaction activity at the interface between the n-type charge generation layer 13 and the p-type charge generation layer 14 is low at high temperatures, resulting in good stability of the display panel.

[0054] It should be noted that as the temperature and operating time increase, the operating voltage of the light-emitting device layer 10 will also increase. Therefore, the second operating voltage is greater than the first operating voltage, and the third operating voltage is greater than the first operating voltage.

[0055] In one embodiment, the preset current density can be greater than or equal to 5 mA / cm². 2 The preset temperature can be greater than or equal to 50℃, and the preset energizing time can be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 120h; furthermore, the preset current density can be less than or equal to 10mA / cm². 2 For example, it can be 5mA / cm 2 6mA / cm 2 7mA / cm 2 8mA / cm 2 9mA / cm 2 Or 10mA / cm 2 The preset temperature can be greater than or equal to 110℃.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, the difference between the second working voltage and the first working voltage is less than or equal to 1V. That is, under the same preset current density, the difference between the working voltage of the light-emitting device layer 10 at the preset temperature and the preset energizing time and the initial working voltage needs to be less than or equal to 1V. This can prevent the working voltage of the light-emitting device layer 10 from rising sharply due to high temperature. In other words, the present invention can improve the high temperature stability of the light-emitting device layer 10 and improve the display stability and display effect of the display panel.

[0057] More preferably, the difference between the second operating voltage and the first operating voltage is less than or equal to 0.5V.

[0058] It should be noted that p-type doped material 141 is distributed within the p-type charge generation layer 14. Verification of this embodiment of the invention has shown that the difference between the second operating voltage and the first operating voltage decreases as the doping concentration of p-type doped material 141 in the p-type charge generation layer 14 decreases. In other words, this embodiment of the invention can reduce the doping concentration of p-type doped material 141 within the p-type charge generation layer 14 to reduce the reactivity between n-type doped material 131 and p-type doped material 141 at high temperatures, thereby improving the high-temperature stability of the light-emitting device layer 10 and enhancing the stability and display effect of the display panel.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the hole injection layer 171 may also be obtained by doping a hole transport material with a first doping material, and the electron injection layer 183 may also be obtained by doping an electron transport material with a second doping material. The first doping material may be the same as or different from the p-type doping material 141, and the second doping material may be the same as or different from the n-type doping material 131.

[0060] When the first doped material is different from the p-type doped material 141, the reactivity between the n-type doped material 131 and the p-type doped material 141 at high temperature can be controlled by controlling the material selection of the p-type doped material 141; when the first doped material is different from the p-type doped material 141, the reactivity between the n-type doped material 131 and the p-type doped material 141 at high temperature can be controlled by controlling the doping concentration of the p-type doped material 141 in the p-type charge generation layer 14.

[0061] In one embodiment, the doping concentration of the first dopant in the hole injection layer 171 is different from the doping concentration of the p-type dopant 141 in the p-type charge generation layer 14. For example, the doping concentration of the first dopant in the hole injection layer 171 can be 3%, while the doping concentration of the p-type dopant 141 in the p-type charge generation layer 14 can be 5%.

[0062] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the invention, the reactivity between the n-type dopant 131 and the p-type dopant 141 at high temperature can be reduced by selecting the p-type dopant 141, so that the difference between the second working voltage and the first working voltage is less than or equal to 1V.

[0063] Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention can also verify the energy level and other properties of the p-type doped material 141 to obtain a suitable material that meets the requirements of low high-temperature reactivity.

[0064] In one embodiment, the lowest unoccupied orbital energy level of the p-type doped material 141 is > -5.5 eV, the highest occupied orbital energy level of the material of the first hole transport layer is > -6.5 eV, and the difference between the lowest unoccupied orbital energy level of the p-type doped material 141 and the highest occupied orbital energy level of the material of the first hole transport layer is less than 1 eV, so as to facilitate charge separation.

[0065] In one embodiment, the wavelength of the reddest absorption peak of the p-type doped material 141 is greater than 400 nm, the wavelength of the fluorescence emission peak of the p-type doped material 141 is greater than 500 nm, and the refractive index of the p-type doped material 141 is greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal to 1.8.

[0066] In one embodiment, the p-type doped material 141 may include a dicyanomethane compound, wherein the dicyanomethane compound contains at least one dicyanomethylene group.
