The functional layer is composed of multiple organic or inorganic film layers, and generally comprises an organic light-emitting layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, etc. When a voltage is applied to the cathode and the anode, an electric field is generated between the two electrodes, under the action of the electric field, the electrons on the cathode side move to the electroluminescence layer, and the holes on the anode side also move to the electroluminescence layer, the electrons and the holes combine to form excitons in the electroluminescence layer, the excitons in the excited state release energy to the outside, and then the electroluminescence layer emits light.
[0003] At present, the material of the light-emitting layer is repeatedly charged and discharged in the use process, the material is easy to crystallize, the uniformity of the thin film is destroyed, and thus the service life of the material is affected. Therefore, it is necessary to develop stable and efficient organic materials, so as to reduce the driving voltage, improve the light-emitting efficiency of the device, and prolong the service life of the device, so as to further improve the performance of the organic electroluminescence device.
