[0036] The above and other aspects and features of the present disclosure will become more apparent by describing in detail embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0037] Figure 1 , Figure 2A and Figure 2B Each is a schematic cross-sectional view of a light emitting device according to an embodiment;
[0038] Figure 3 and Figure 4 Each is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an electronic device according to an embodiment; and
[0039] Figure 5 and Figure 6 Each shows a spectrum for determining whether or not there is color mixing according to brightness. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The present disclosure will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings showing embodiments. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0041] In the drawings, for ease of description and for clarity, the size, thickness, ratio, and dimensions of elements may be exaggerated. The same reference numerals and / or the same reference symbols refer to the same elements throughout.
[0042] In the description, it will be understood that when an element (or region, layer, component, etc.) is referred to as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, or "coupled to" another element, the element may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other element, or one or more intervening elements may be present between the element and the other element. In a similar sense, when an element (or region, layer, component, etc.) is described as "covering" another element, the element may directly cover the other element, or one or more intervening elements may be present between the element and the other element.
[0043] In the description, when an element is "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element, there are no intervening elements. For example, "directly on" may mean that two layers or two elements are disposed without an additional element, such as an adhesive element, between the two layers or two elements.
[0044] As used herein, expressions used in the singular such as “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0045] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, "A and / or B" may be understood to mean "A, B, or A and B". The terms "and" and "or" may be used in a conjunction or disjunction sense and may be understood to be equivalent to "and / or".
[0046] In the specification and claims, for the purpose of its meaning and interpretation, the term "at least one of..." is intended to include the meaning of "at least one selected from the group consisting of..." For example, "at least one of A, B, and C" can be understood to mean only A, only B, only C, or any combination of two or more of A, B, and C (such as ABC, AC, BC, or AB). The term "at least one of...", when following a series of elements, modifies the entire series of elements, rather than the individual elements in the series.
[0047] It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. can be used in this article to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. Therefore, without departing from the teaching of the present disclosure, the first element can be referred to as the second element. Similarly, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the second element can be referred to as the first element.
[0048] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "below", "under", "below", "above", or "on" may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or component and another element or component as shown in the drawings. It will be understood that, in addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, spatially relative terms are intended to also cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, in the case of a device shown in a flipped drawing, a device positioned "below" or "below" another device may be placed "above" another device. Therefore, the illustrative term "below" may include both a lower position and an upper position. The device may also be oriented in other directions, and therefore spatially relative terms may be interpreted differently depending on the orientation.
[0049] The terms "about" or "approximately" as used herein include the stated value and mean within an acceptable range of deviation of the stated value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the recited quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±20%, ±10%, or ±5% of the stated value.
[0050] It should be understood that the terms “comprises / comprising,” “includes / including,” “have / having,” and “contains / containing” and the like are intended to specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof in the present disclosure, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.
[0051] Unless otherwise defined or implied herein, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that, unless explicitly defined in the specification, terms (such as those defined in a commonly used dictionary) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense.
[0052] The term “organic layer” as used herein may be a single layer and / or a plurality of layers between a first electrode and a second electrode of a light emitting device.
[0053] The nomenclature of 1-1, 2-1 and 3-1 may also be considered as first-first, second-first and third-first, respectively, herein. However, these are only non-limiting descriptors, and other combinations may be used. For example, 3-2 may be considered as third-second. It should be understood that, for example, 1-second and first-2 may each be considered as first-second and may be interchangeable.

In an embodiment, in a light-emitting device in which a first emission unit and a second emission unit are stacked, the maximum emission wavelength of light emitted from the first emission unit may be different from the maximum emission wavelength of light emitted from the second emission unit. In an embodiment, the emission layer of the first emission unit and the emission layer of the second emission unit may each independently have a structure composed of layers composed of a single material, a structure composed of layers including different materials, and a structure having multiple layers including different materials. Therefore, the light emitted from the first emission unit or the second emission unit may be single color light or mixed color light.
[0115] In an embodiment, the maximum emission wavelengths of light emitted from the m emission units may all be the same.
[0116] In an embodiment, the m emission layers included in the m emission units may each independently include a phosphorescent dopant, a fluorescent dopant, a delayed fluorescent material, or any combination thereof.
[0117] The charge generation layer may be included between each two adjacent emission units among the m emission units. The term "adjacent" refers to the arrangement relationship of the emission units arranged closest to each other among a plurality of adjacent emission units. In an embodiment, "two adjacent emission units" may be the arrangement relationship of two emission units arranged closest to each other from among the emission units. The term "adjacent" may be a situation where two layers are physically in contact with each other or another layer not mentioned may be between the two layers. For example, "an emission unit adjacent to the second electrode" may be an emission unit arranged closest to the second electrode. The second electrode and the emission unit may be in physical contact with each other, but layers other than the emission unit may be between the second electrode and the emission unit. In an embodiment, the electron transport layer may be between the second electrode and the emission unit. Here, the charge generation layer may be arranged between each two adjacent emission units.
[0118] A "charge generation layer" can generate electrons with respect to one of two adjacent emission units and can therefore be used as a cathode. A "charge generation layer" can generate holes with respect to the other of two adjacent emission units and can therefore be used as an anode. In this regard, a charge generation layer refers to a layer that is not directly connected to an electrode and separates adjacent emission units. A light-emitting device including m emission units may include m-1 charge generation layers.
[0119] The charge generation layer may include an n-type charge generation layer and a p-type charge generation layer. In an embodiment, the n-type charge generation layer and the p-type charge generation layer may contact each other (e.g., directly contact) to form an NP junction. Through the NP junction, electrons and holes may be generated between the n-type charge generation layer and the p-type charge generation layer. The generated electrons may be transferred to one of two adjacent emission units through the n-type charge generation layer. The generated holes may be transferred to another emission unit of two adjacent emission units through the p-type charge generation layer. In an embodiment, m-1 charge generation layers may each include an n-type charge generation layer and a p-type charge generation layer. Therefore, a light-emitting device including m-1 charge generation layers may include m-1 n-type charge generation layers and m-1 p-type charge generation layers.
[0120] The n-type refers to the n-type semiconductor property, that is, the property of injecting or transporting electrons. The p-type refers to the p-type semiconductor property, that is, the property of injecting or transporting holes.
[0121] The m emission units may each include a hole transport region, an emission layer, and an electron transport region arranged in the order recited. In an embodiment, the first emission unit may include a first hole transport region and a first electron transport region, and the second emission unit may include a second hole transport region and a second electron transport region.
[0122] In an embodiment, the first emission unit may include a first electron transport region including a first electron transport material, and the LUMO energy (LUMO ET1 ) level and the LUMO energy of the 3-1 subject (LUMO 3-1 ) level can satisfy condition e1:
[0123] [Condition e1]
[0124] LUMO 3-1 ≥LUMO ET1 .
[0125] In an embodiment, the first emission unit may include a first electron transport region including a first electron transport material, and the LUMO energy (LUMO ET1 ) level and the LUMO energy of the 3-1 subject (LUMO3-1 ) level can satisfy condition f1:
[0126] [Condition f1]
[0127] 0eV≤LUMO 3-1 -LUMO ET1 ≤0.3eV.
[0128] In an embodiment, the second emission unit may include a second electron transport region including a second electron transport material, and the LUMO energy (LUMO ET2 ) level and the LUMO energy of the 3-2 body (LUMO 3-2 ) level can satisfy condition e2:
[0129] [Condition e2]
[0130] LUMO 3-2 ≥LUMO ET2 .
[0131] In an embodiment, the second emission unit may include a second electron transport region including a second electron transport material, and the LUMO energy (LUMO ET2 ) level and the LUMO energy of the 3-2 body (LUMO 3-2 ) level can satisfy condition f2:
[0132] [Condition f2]
[0133] 0eV≤LUMO 3-2 -LUMO ET2 ≤0.3eV.
[0134] In the light-emitting device satisfying condition e1 and / or condition e2, the injection of electrons from the first electron transport region to the 3-1 emission layer and / or the injection of electrons from the second electron transport region to the 3-2 emission layer can be promoted. In the light-emitting device satisfying condition f1 and / or condition f2, the formation of an excessively large gap can lead to a high injection barrier, which increases the driving voltage and prevents degradation of the material.
[0135] The light-emitting device may be a tandem device in which at least one emission unit includes a common emission layer commonly arranged throughout the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel, and the common emission layer may be a blue common emission layer. In the case of a tandem device in which two or more emission units each include a common emission layer, a plurality of emission units emitting light may be included, so that the efficiency of the device may be significantly improved compared to a light-emitting device consisting of a single stack including a common emission layer. Therefore, the current stress on the device may be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the device.
[0136] In an embodiment, the first emission unit may satisfy the conditions that the LUMO energy level of the 1-1 host is less than the LUMO energy level of the 3-1 host and the LUMO energy level of the 2-1 host is less than the LUMO energy level of the 3-1 host, and thus there is no potential barrier when electrons are injected from the 3-1 emission layer as a common emission layer to the 1-1 emission layer and the 2-1 emission layer. In this regard, the driving voltage can be minimized due to the common emission layer.
[0137] Therefore, a light emitting device (eg, an organic light emitting device) may have high light emitting efficiency and a long lifetime.
[0138] In an embodiment, a process of manufacturing a light emitting device may be simplified by including a blue common emission layer, and thus processability of the light emitting device may be improved compared to a light emitting device not including a blue common emission layer.
[0139] In an embodiment, the first electrode may be an anode; the second electrode may be a cathode; the first hole transport region and the second hole transport region may each independently include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emission auxiliary layer, an electron blocking layer or any combination thereof; and the first electron transport region and the second electron transport region may each independently include a buffer layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron control layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer or any combination thereof.
[0140] In an embodiment, the light emitting device may further include a first capping layer outside the first electrode or a second capping layer outside the second electrode.
[0141] Another embodiment provides an electronic device that may include a light emitting device. The electronic device may further include a thin film transistor. In an embodiment, the electronic device may further include a thin film transistor including a source electrode and a drain electrode, wherein the first electrode of the light emitting device may be electrically connected to the source electrode or the drain electrode. In an embodiment, the electronic device may further include a color filter, a color conversion layer, a touch screen layer, a polarization layer, or any combination thereof. Further details about the electronic device may be the same as described herein.
