[0043] The embodiment of the present application provides an organic electroluminescent device, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of another organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The organic electroluminescent device comprises:

[0044] The distributed Bragg reflection structure 10, the light-transmitting electrode 20, the organic light-emitting layer 30 and the reflective electrode 40 are sequentially stacked;

[0045] The organic light-emitting layer 30 is used for emitting light of a first wave band and light of a second wave band; the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 comprises a first distributed Bragg reflection layer 11, or the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 comprises a second distributed Bragg reflection layer 12 and a third distributed Bragg reflection layer 13;

[0046] The first distributed Bragg reflection layer 11 comprises a plurality of first sub-layers 110 arranged in sequence, and the refractive index of the even layers of the plurality of first sub-layers 110 is greater than the refractive index of the odd layers in the direction of the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 directed by the light-transmitting electrode 20; the thickness of the even layers of the first sub-layers 110 is λ1 / 4n1, λ1 is the peak wavelength of the first waveband, and n1 is the refractive index of the even layers of the first sub-layers 110; the thickness of the odd layers of the first sub-layers 110 is λ2 / 4n2, λ2 is the peak wavelength of the second waveband, and n2 is the refractive index of the odd layers of the first sub-layers 110;

[0047] The second distributed Bragg reflection layer 12 is used for enhancing the light of the first waveband, and the third distributed Bragg reflection layer 13 is used for enhancing the light of the second waveband.

[0048] The one of the light-transmitting electrode 20 and the reflecting electrode 40 is an anode, and the other is a cathode. The first waveband can be an infrared waveband, and the second waveband can be a red waveband. The organic light-emitting layer 30 can adopt a red material with a certain intensity in the infrared waveband. That is, the organic light-emitting layer 30 can emit red light and infrared light. The light-transmitting electrode 20 adopts a transparent metal oxide material such as ITO. The reflecting electrode 40 can adopt a metal material such as aluminum or magnesium. The light emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 30 is emitted to the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 by the light-transmitting electrode 20.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 The refractive index of the even layers of the plurality of first sub-layers 110 is greater than the refractive index of the odd layers in the direction of the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 directed by the light-transmitting electrode 20, the first sub-layer 110 adjacent to the light-transmitting electrode 20 is the first first sub-layer 110, and the first, second, third, and so on first sub-layers 110 are arranged in sequence in the direction away from the light-transmitting electrode 20. The odd layers 111 (low refractive index layers) and the even layers 112 (high refractive index layers) of the first sub-layers are alternately arranged in the direction of the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 directed by the light-transmitting electrode 20.

[0050] The distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a reflector used in waveguide. When light passes through different media, it will be reflected at the interface. The reflectivity is related to the refractive index between the media. By stacking different refractive index films periodically, when light passes through these different refractive index films, the reflected light from each layer will constructively interfere due to the change in phase angle, and then combine together to get strong reflected light, i.e. DBR can enhance light. The advantage of DBR is its high reflectivity. When the electromagnetic wave falls within the energy gap of the material, it cannot penetrate and the reflectivity can be very high. DBR performs well in improving the brightness of organic electroluminescent devices. Compared with the traditional metal mirror, DBR avoids the problem of metal absorbing light energy. The optical thickness of each layer in DBR is 1 / 4 of the center reflection wavelength. By adjusting the thickness of each layer in DBR, the position of the energy gap can be accurately adjusted to accurately control the light.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 When the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10 includes the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11, the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11 includes a plurality of first sub-layers 110 arranged in sequence, the refractive index of the even layers in the plurality of first sub-layers 110 is greater than the refractive index of the odd layers, and the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11 is a DBR. By setting the thickness of the even layers in the first sub-layers 110 as λ1 / 4n1 and the thickness of the odd layers in the first sub-layers 110 as λ2 / 4n2, after the first waveband light and the second waveband light emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 30 irradiate the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10, the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10 enhances the first waveband light and the second waveband light, and the enhanced first waveband light and the second waveband light are emitted from the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 When the distributed Bragg reflector structure 10 includes the second distributed Bragg reflector layer 12 and the third distributed Bragg reflector layer 13, the second distributed Bragg reflector layer 12 is a DBR, and the third distributed Bragg reflector layer 13 is a DBR. The second distributed Bragg reflector layer 12 enhances the first waveband light, and the third distributed Bragg reflector layer 13 enhances the second waveband light.

[0053] The organic electroluminescent device of the embodiment of the present application is characterized in that a distributed Bragg reflector 10 is arranged on the side of the light-transmitting electrode 20; the distributed Bragg reflector 10 comprises a first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11, or the distributed Bragg reflector 10 comprises a second distributed Bragg reflector layer 12 and a third distributed Bragg reflector layer 13; the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11 comprises a plurality of first sub-layers 110 arranged in sequence, the refractive index of the even layers of the plurality of first sub-layers 110 is greater than the refractive index of the odd layers, the thickness of the even layers of the first sub-layers 110 is λ1 / 4n1, the thickness of the odd layers of the first sub-layers 110 is λ2 / 4n2, and the first distributed Bragg reflector layer 11 can simultaneously enhance the light of the first waveband and the light of the second waveband; the second distributed Bragg reflector layer 12 is used for enhancing the light of the first waveband, and the third distributed Bragg reflector layer 13 is used for enhancing the light of the second waveband. After the light of the first waveband and the light of the second waveband emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 30 irradiate on the distributed Bragg reflector 10, the distributed Bragg reflector 10 enhances the light of the first waveband and the light of the second waveband, and the enhanced light of the first waveband and the light of the second waveband are emitted from the distributed Bragg reflector 10, so that the light of the two wavelengths emitted by the organic electroluminescent device has high intensity.

In the direction of the light-transmitting electrode 20 pointing to the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10, the second sub-layer odd layers 121 (low refractive index layers) and the second sub-layer even layers 122 (high refractive index layers) are arranged alternately in turn.

[0057] In the direction of the light-transmitting electrode 20 pointing to the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10, the refractive index of the even layers in the plurality of third sub-layers 130 is greater than the refractive index of the odd layers, and the third sub-layer 130 closest to the light-transmitting electrode 20 is the first third sub-layer 130, and the first third sub-layer 130, the second third sub-layer 130, the third third sub-layer 130, and so on are arranged in turn in the direction away from the light-transmitting electrode 20. In the direction of the light-transmitting electrode 20 pointing to the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10, the third sub-layer odd layers 131 (low refractive index layers) and the third sub-layer even layers 132 (high refractive index layers) are arranged alternately in turn.

[0058] With reference to Figure 2 When the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10 includes the second distributed Bragg reflection layer 12 and the third distributed Bragg reflection layer 13, the second distributed Bragg reflection layer 12 includes a plurality of second sub-layers 120 arranged in turn, and the refractive index of the even layers in the plurality of second sub-layers 120 is greater than the refractive index of the odd layers, and the second distributed Bragg reflection layer 12 is a DBR. The thickness of each second sub-layer 120 is λ1 / 4n3, n3 is the refractive index of the second sub-layer 120, and for example, the thickness of the first second sub-layer 120 is λ1 / 4 divided by the refractive index of the first second sub-layer 120, and the thickness of the second second sub-layer 120 is λ1 / 4 divided by the refractive index of the second second sub-layer 120. By setting the thickness of each second sub-layer 120 to be λ1 / 4n3, the second distributed Bragg reflection layer 12 can enhance the first waveband of light emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 30 after the first waveband of light is incident on the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10, and the enhanced first waveband of light is emitted from the distributed Bragg reflection structure 10.

[0059] The third DBR layer 13 includes a plurality of third sub-layers 130 stacked in sequence, and the refractive index of the even layers is greater than the refractive index of the odd layers. The third DBR layer 13 is a DBR. The thickness of each third sub-layer 130 is λ2 / 4n4, where n4 is the refractive index of the third sub-layer 130. For example, 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 refractive index of the second third sub-layer 130. By setting the thickness of each third sub-layer 130 to be λ2 / 4n4, the third DBR layer 13 can enhance the second band of light emitted by the organic light-emitting layer 30 after the second band of light is irradiated to the DBR structure 10, and the enhanced second band of light is emitted from the DBR structure 10. Therefore, when the DBR structure 10 includes the second DBR layer 12 and the third DBR layer 13, the DBR structure 10 enhances the first band of light and the second band of light, and the enhanced first band of light and the enhanced second band of light are emitted from the DBR structure 10.
