[0044] A distributed Bragg reflection structure 10, a light-transmitting electrode 20, an organic light-emitting layer 30 and a reflection electrode 40 are sequentially stacked;
[0045] The organic light emitting layer 30 is used to emit light of a first wavelength band and light of a second wavelength band; the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 includes a first distributed Bragg reflection layer 11, or the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 includes a second distributed Bragg reflection layer 12 and a third distributed Bragg reflection layer 13;
[0046] The first distributed Bragg reflector 11 comprises a plurality of first sub-layers 110 stacked in sequence, and along the direction of the light-transmitting electrode 20 pointing to the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10, the refractive index of the even-numbered layers in the plurality of first sub-layers 110 is greater than the refractive index of the odd-numbered layers; the thickness of the even-numbered layers in the first sub-layer 110 is λ1 / 4n1, λ1 is the peak wavelength of the first band, and n1 is the refractive index of the even-numbered layers in the first sub-layer 110; the thickness of the odd-numbered layers in the first sub-layer 110 is λ2 / 4n2, λ2 is the peak wavelength of the second band, and n2 is the refractive index of the odd-numbered layers in the first sub-layer 110;

[0048] Among them, one of the transparent electrode 20 and the reflective electrode 40 is an anode and the other is a cathode. The first band can be an infrared band, and the second band can be a red band. The organic light-emitting layer 30 can use a red light material whose luminous spectrum has a certain intensity in the infrared band. That is, the organic light-emitting layer 30 can emit red light and infrared light. The transparent electrode 20 uses a transparent metal oxide material such as ITO. The reflective electrode 40 can use a metal material such as aluminum or magnesium. The light emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 30 is emitted from the transparent electrode 20 to the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10.
[0049] refer to Figure 1 , along the direction from the transparent electrode 20 to the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10, the refractive index of the even-numbered layers in the plurality of first sub-layers 110 is greater than the refractive index of the odd-numbered layers, and the first sub-layer 110 adjacent to the transparent electrode 20 is the first first sub-layer 110, and so on, along the direction away from the transparent electrode 20, the first first sub-layer 110, the second first sub-layer 110, the third first sub-layer 110, ... are arranged in sequence.

[0050] Distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a reflector used in waveguides. When light passes through different media, it will reflect at the interface. The reflectivity is related to the refractive index between the media. By stacking thin films with different refractive indices interactively and periodically, when light passes through these thin films with different refractive indices, the light reflected from each layer will constructively interfere due to the change in phase angle, and then combine with each other to obtain strong reflected light, that is, DBR can enhance the light. The advantage of DBR lies in its high reflectivity. When electromagnetic waves fall into the energy gap range of the material, the reflectivity can reach a very high level because they cannot penetrate. DBR performs well in improving the brightness of organic electroluminescent devices. Compared with traditional metal reflectors, DBR avoids the problem of metal absorbing light energy. The optical thickness of each layer in DBR is 1 / 4 of the central reflection wavelength. By adjusting the thickness of each layer in DBR, the position of the energy gap can be accurately adjusted to achieve precise control of light.

By setting the thickness of the even-numbered layers in the first sub-layer 110 to λ1 / 4n1 and the thickness of the odd-numbered layers in the first sub-layer 110 to λ2 / 4n2, after the light of the first wavelength band and the light of the second wavelength band emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 30 are irradiated to the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10, the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10 enhances the light of the first wavelength band and the light of the second wavelength band, and the enhanced light of the first wavelength band and the light of the second wavelength band are emitted from the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10.

The second distributed Bragg reflector layer 12 enhances the light of the first wavelength band, and the third distributed Bragg reflector layer 13 enhances the light of the second wavelength band.

After the light of the first wavelength band and the light of the second wavelength band emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 30 are irradiated to the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10, the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 enhances the light of the first wavelength band and the light of the second wavelength band. The enhanced light of the first wavelength band and the light of the second wavelength band are emitted by the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10, so that the two wavelengths of light emitted by the organic electroluminescent device have higher intensities.

Along the direction from the transparent electrode 20 to the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10, the second sub-layer odd-numbered layers 121 (low refractive index layers) and the second sub-layer even-numbered layers 122 (high refractive index layers) are arranged alternately in sequence.

The thickness of each third sub-layer 130 is λ2 / 4n4, where n4 is the refractive index of the third sub-layer 130. Exemplarily, the thickness of the first third sub-layer 130 is λ2 / 4 divided by the refractive index of the first third sub-layer 130, and the thickness of the second third sub-layer 130 is λ2 / 4 divided by the second third sub-layer 130.

[0081] Specifically, the emission efficiency of the organic light-emitting layer 30 for emitting light in the first band is low. By setting the optical thickness (optical thickness = actual thickness * refractive index) of the even-numbered layers with higher refractive index in the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11 to 1 / 4 of the peak wavelength of the first band, the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11 has a stronger enhancement effect on the light in the first band, so that the organic electroluminescent device can emit light in the first band with stronger light intensity. At the same time, the optical thickness of the odd-numbered layers in the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11 is 1 / 4 of the peak wavelength of the second band, and the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11 has an enhancement effect on the light in the second band, so that the organic electroluminescent device can emit stronger light in the first band and light in the second band.

Clinical studies have shown that such light can stimulate the epidermal stem cells in the hair follicles to promote hair growth; it can also promote wound healing, tissue repair and anti-inflammatory treatment. However, due to the energy gap effect, the efficiency of existing organic electroluminescent devices in the infrared emission band is limited and it is difficult to increase it.
