In addition, the claims directed to the method and / or process should not be limited to performing their steps in the order written, and those skilled in the art can readily understand that these orders can vary and still remain within the spirit and scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example: the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, the width and spacing of each signal line, can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic diagrams, and one aspect of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0039] In the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", or "third", and similar terms are provided to avoid confusion of components, rather than to limit in terms of quantity, order, importance, etc. It should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

Herein, the first pole may be a drain electrode and the second pole may be a source electrode, or the first pole may be a source electrode and the second pole may be a drain electrode. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the direction of current changes during the operation of a circuit, etc., the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" sometimes swap with each other.

Here, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make any limitations in this regard.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "stacked in sequence" may mean that multiple film layers are stacked in one direction, but it does not mean that these film layers must be in direct contact with each other pairwise.
[0047] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, expressions such as "on", "formed on", "disposed on", or similar expressions may mean that one layer is directly formed or disposed on another layer, or may mean that one layer is indirectly formed or disposed on another layer, that is, there are other layers between the two layers. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on top of" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or merely means that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "below", "beneath", and "underneath" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or merely means that the first feature has a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0049] The embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Among them, the embodiments can be implemented in multiple different forms. It is easy for those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the fact that the manner and content can be transformed into different forms without departing from the gist and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited only to the content described in the following embodiments.
[0050] To keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of some known functions and known components are omitted in the present disclosure. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures can refer to the general design.
[0051] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a display device. As Figure 1As shown, the display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The timing controller is respectively connected to the data driver, the scan driver, and the light-emitting driver. The data driver is respectively connected to a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn), the scan driver is respectively connected to a plurality of scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), and the light-emitting driver is respectively connected to a plurality of light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo). The pixel array may include a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij, where i and j may be natural numbers. At least one sub-pixel Pxij may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting device connected to the circuit unit. The circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit, and the pixel driving circuit may be respectively connected to the scan signal line, the light-emitting signal line, and the data signal line. In some exemplary embodiments, the timing controller may provide a gray value and a control signal suitable for the specification of the data driver to the data driver, may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specification of the scan driver to the scan driver, and may provide a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. suitable for the specification of the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver may use the gray value and the control signal received from the timing controller to generate data voltages to be provided to the data signal lines D1, D2, D3,..., and Dn, where n may be a natural number. For example, the data driver may sample the gray value using a clock signal and apply the data voltage corresponding to the gray value to the data signal lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows. The scan driver may generate scan signals to be provided to the scan signal lines S1, S2, S3,..., and Sm by receiving a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. from the timing controller, where m may be a natural number. For example, the scan driver may sequentially provide scan signals having conductive level pulses to the scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate scan signals in such a way that the scan start signal provided in the form of a conductive level pulse is sequentially transmitted to the next-stage circuit under the control of the clock signal. The light-emitting driver may generate emission signals to be provided to the light-emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3,..., and Eo by receiving a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. from the timing controller, where o may be a natural number. For example, the light-emitting driver may sequentially provide emission signals having cut-off level pulses to the light-emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light-emitting driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate emission signals in such a way that the emission stop signal provided in the form of a cut-off level pulse is sequentially transmitted to the next-stage circuit under the control of the clock signal.
[0052] Figure 2 It is a schematic plan view of a display substrate. As Figure 2As shown, the display substrate may include a plurality of pixel units P arranged regularly (e.g., in a matrix), and at least one pixel unit P among the plurality of pixel units P may include a first sub-pixel P1 that emits light of a first color, a second sub-pixel P2 that emits light of a second color, and a third sub-pixel P3 that emits light of a third color. Each sub-pixel may include a circuit unit and a light-emitting device connected to the circuit unit. The circuit unit may include a pixel driving circuit and scanning signal lines, data signal lines, light-emitting signal lines, etc. connected to the pixel driving circuit. The pixel driving circuit is configured to receive a data voltage transmitted by the data signal line under the control of the scanning signal line and the light-emitting signal line, and output a corresponding current to the light-emitting device. The light-emitting devices in the first sub-pixel P1, the second sub-pixel P2, and the third sub-pixel P3 are respectively connected to the pixel driving circuits of their respective sub-pixels, and the light-emitting devices are configured to emit light of corresponding brightness in response to the current output by the pixel driving circuits of their respective sub-pixels.
[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, the pixel unit P may include a red (R) sub-pixel, a green (G) sub-pixel, and a blue (B) sub-pixel, or may include a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and a white sub-pixel, which are not limited herein in the present disclosure. In some exemplary embodiments, the shape of the sub-pixels in the pixel unit may be rectangular, rhombic, pentagonal, hexagonal, etc. In some exemplary embodiments, when the pixel unit includes three sub-pixels, the three sub-pixels may be arranged in a horizontal side-by-side, vertical side-by-side, or triangular pyramid manner. In some other exemplary embodiments, when the pixel unit includes four sub-pixels, the four sub-pixels may be arranged in a horizontal side-by-side, vertical side-by-side, or square manner, which are not limited herein in the present disclosure.
[0054] Figure 3 It is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a display substrate, showing the structure of a sub-pixel of an OLED display substrate. As Figure 3 shown, in a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate may include a driving circuit layer 102 provided on a substrate 101, a light-emitting structure layer 103 provided on a side of the driving circuit layer 102 away from the substrate 101, and a packaging structure layer 104 provided on a side of the light-emitting structure layer 103 away from the substrate 101. In some possible implementation manners, the display substrate may include other film layers, such as a touch control structure layer, etc., which are not limited herein in the present disclosure.
[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, the substrate 101 may be a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate.
[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, the packaging structure layer 104 may be a packaging film or a packaging cover plate.
[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, the encapsulation structure layer 104 may include a stacked first encapsulation layer 401, a second encapsulation layer 402, and a third encapsulation layer 403. For example, the first encapsulation layer 401 and the third encapsulation layer 403 may be made of inorganic materials, and the second encapsulation layer 402 may be made of organic materials. The second encapsulation layer 402 is disposed between the first encapsulation layer 401 and the third encapsulation layer 403, which can prevent external moisture from entering the light-emitting structure layer 103.
[0058] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the driving circuit layer 102 of each sub-pixel may include a plurality of transistors and storage capacitors that constitute the pixel driving circuit, Figure 3 and only one transistor 210 and one storage capacitor 211 are taken as examples in
[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, the pixel driving circuit may adopt a pixel circuit with a structure of 2T1C (i.e., two transistors and one capacitor), 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C, or 8T1C, etc., nTmC (n and m are positive integers). In different exemplary embodiments, the pixel circuit may further include a compensation sub-circuit, and the compensation sub-circuit may include an internal compensation sub-circuit or an external compensation sub-circuit. The compensation sub-circuit may include transistors, capacitors, etc. For example, according to needs, the pixel circuit may further include: a reset sub-circuit, a light-emitting control sub-circuit, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the light-emitting structure layer 103 may include: a plurality of light-emitting devices 70 and a pixel definition layer 310. The pixel definition layer 310 is provided with a plurality of pixel openings, and the light-emitting device 70 of one sub-pixel may be disposed in one pixel opening. For example, the plurality of light-emitting devices 70 may include: the light-emitting device 70 of the first sub-pixel P1, the light-emitting device 70 of the second sub-pixel P2, and the light-emitting device 70 of the third sub-pixel P3. Here, Figure 3 the light-emitting device of one sub-pixel is taken as an example for illustration.
[0061] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, along the direction away from the substrate 101, the light-emitting device 70 may include: an anode 10, a light-emitting functional layer 60, and a cathode 50 that are sequentially arranged. Among them, the anode 10 is connected to the drain electrode of at least one of the plurality of transistors 210 through a via hole. The pixel opening in the pixel definition layer 310 exposes the anode 10. The light-emitting functional layer 60 is connected to the anode 10, and the cathode 50 is connected to the light-emitting functional layer 60. The light-emitting functional layer 60 emits corresponding color light under the drive of the anode 10 and the cathode 50.
[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting functional layer 60 may include: at least two stacked light-emitting units and at least one charge generation layer, and the charge generation layer is disposed between every two adjacent light-emitting units. At this time, the light-emitting device may be referred to as a stacked organic electroluminescent device or a tandem organic light-emitting diode (Tandem OLED, TOLED). Thus, every two light-emitting units in the stacked organic electroluminescent device are connected in series through the charge generation layer, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the stacked organic electroluminescent device and prolonging the service life of the stacked organic electroluminescent device. Moreover, as the number of light-emitting units included in the stacked organic electroluminescent device increases, the luminous efficiency and service life of the stacked organic electroluminescent device increase linearly in a doubling manner.
[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, the light-emitting functional layer 60 may include: two stacked light-emitting units (the first light-emitting unit 20 and the second light-emitting unit 40 respectively) and the charge generation layer 30. Thus, in a direction away from the anode 10, the light-emitting device (i.e., the stacked organic electroluminescent device) may include: the anode 10, the first light-emitting unit 20 disposed on one side of the anode 10, the charge generation layer (CGL) 30 disposed on a side of the first light-emitting unit 20 away from the anode 10, the second light-emitting unit 40 disposed on a side of the charge generation layer 30 away from the anode 10, and the cathode 50 disposed on a side of the second light-emitting unit 40 away from the anode 10.
[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting unit may include: an emitting layer (EML), and any one or more of the following film layers: a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL).
[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting layers of the light-emitting devices (i.e., stacked organic electroluminescent devices) in different color sub-pixels are different. For example, the light-emitting device in the red sub-pixel includes a red light-emitting layer, the light-emitting device in the green sub-pixel includes a green light-emitting layer, and the light-emitting device in the blue sub-pixel includes a blue light-emitting layer. In some exemplary embodiments, the organic light-emitting layer can be formed by evaporation using a fine metal mask (FMM) or an open mask, or by an inkjet process.
[0066] A stacked organic electroluminescent device (TOLED) improves display performance and extends screen life by stacking two or more OLED light-emitting layers. Compared with single-emission OLED devices, TOLEDs have attracted extensive attention due to their potential high brightness, long service life, and an internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of approximately 100%.
[0067] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that some TOLED structures use a 1&2 cycle device structure. Since the light-emitting layer (EML1) in the 1&2 cycle device is closer to the anode composed of ITO / Ag, the electromagnetic oscillation during the propagation of light waves will strongly couple and be highly localized with the electron oscillation of the metal material in the electrode, thus forming a hybrid electromagnetic mode at the interface between the two media (i.e., the interface between the electrode and the light-emitting layer). Its electromagnetic field is concentrated near the interface and exponentially decays along the normal directions on both sides of the interface, resulting in a significant increase in the SPP effect and a decrease in the light-emitting efficiency of the device. In some other TOLED structures, by increasing the thickness of the hole transport layer near the anode, the 1&2 cycle device structure is changed to a 2&3 cycle device structure to reduce the SPP effect. However, this measure will cause hindrance to hole transport on the anode side, resulting in a significant increase in the driving voltage of the device and breaking the carrier balance in the device, thus significantly reducing the device life. Therefore, how to reasonably suppress the SPP effect is crucial for improving device performance.
[0068] Among them, the use of a 1&2 cycle device structure means that the optical path difference between the reflected light and the transmitted light of the light-emitting device of the sub-pixel emitting a certain color of light from the light-emitting position to the electrode in the emission direction satisfies 1 to 2 times half of the wavelength of this color of light, and the use of a 2&3 cycle device structure means that the optical path difference between the reflected light and the transmitted light of the light-emitting device of the sub-pixel emitting a certain color of light from the light-emitting position to the electrode in the emission direction satisfies 2 to 3 times half of the wavelength of this color of light.

[0090] In some exemplary embodiments, the material of the P-type charge generation layer may be a second doping structure, and the second doping structure includes: a second host material and a second guest material. The second host material may be an arylamine material, dimethylfluorene, or carbazole material having hole transport characteristics. For example, the second host material may be selected from 4,4'-bis[N-(1-naphthalenyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (N,N'-Bis-(1-naphthalenyl)-N,N'-bis-phenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine, abbreviated as NPB), N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (N,N'-Bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine, abbreviated as TPD), 4-phenyl-4'-(9-phenylfluoren-9-yl)triphenylamine (BAFLP), 4,4'-bis[N-(9,9-dimethylfluoren-2-yl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (DFLDPBi), 4,4'-bis(9-carbazolyl)biphenyl (4,4'-Bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl, abbreviated as CBP), 9-phenyl-3-[4-(10-phenyl-9-anthryl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole (PCzPA), or 4,4',4”-tris(N-3-methylphenyl-N-phenylamino)triphenylamine (m-MTDATA), etc. The second guest material may be an organic material containing a strong electron-withdrawing group.

[0091] In some exemplary embodiments, the material of the P-type charge generation layer may be NPB doped with 5% HATCN.
[0092] Thus, since the first charge generation layer 31 has electron injection ability and the second charge generation layer 32 has hole injection ability, in some exemplary embodiments, the first charge generation layer 31 can be reused as the electron injection layer in the first light-emitting unit 20, and the second charge generation layer 32 can be reused as the hole injection layer in the second light-emitting unit 40. At this time, an additional electron injection layer may not be provided in the first light-emitting unit 20 of the stacked organic electroluminescent device, and an additional hole injection layer may not be provided in the second light-emitting unit 40. Alternatively, in some other exemplary embodiments, an additional electron injection layer may be provided between the first charge generation layer 31 and the first electron transport layer 26 in the first light-emitting unit 20. Similarly, an additional hole injection layer may be provided between the second charge generation layer 32 and the second hole transport layer 46 in the second light-emitting unit 40.

[0094] In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the second charge generation layer 32 is not higher than Thus, the lateral leakage characteristics of the stacked organic electroluminescent device can be controlled. Exemplarily, the thickness of the second charge generation layer 32 can be about to For example, the thickness of the first charge generation layer 31 can be about or etc.
[0095] Luminescence process of the stacked organic light-emitting device: When the pixel driving circuit is working, the driving voltage can be transmitted to the stacked organic light-emitting device through the transistor 210 electrically connected to the anode 10. At this time, under the drive of a direct current low voltage and high electric field, the anode 10 can generate holes, the cathode 50 can generate electrons, and holes and electrons can be generated in the contact area between the first charge generation layer 31 and the second charge generation layer 32. Then, the holes generated by the anode 10 can migrate to the first light-emitting layer 24 successively through the hole injection layer 21, the first hole transport layer 22, and the first auxiliary light-emitting layer 23. Correspondingly, the electrons generated in the contact area between the first charge generation layer 31 and the second charge generation layer 32 can migrate to the first light-emitting layer 24 successively through the first charge generation layer 31, the first electron transport layer 26, and the first hole blocking layer 25. Similarly, the electrons generated by the cathode 50 can migrate to the second light-emitting layer 44 successively through the electron injection layer 41, the second electron transport layer 42, and the second hole blocking layer 43. Correspondingly, the holes generated in the contact area between the first charge generation layer 31 and the second charge generation layer 32 can migrate to the second light-emitting layer 44 successively through the second charge generation layer 32, the second hole transport layer 46, and the second auxiliary light-emitting layer 45. A part of the holes and electrons meet and recombine in the first light-emitting layer 24 to form excitons, and another part of the holes and electrons meet and recombine in the second light-emitting layer 44 to form excitons. Under the action of the electric field, the excitons transfer energy to the organic light-emitting molecules, and excite the electrons in the organic light-emitting molecules to transition from the ground state to the excited state. The excited state energy is released in the form of photons through the transition, generating light energy, so that the stacked organic light-emitting device emits light.
[0096] In some exemplary embodiments, the total cavity length of the stacked organic light-emitting device (i.e., the equivalent cavity length of the microcavity corresponding to the stacked organic light-emitting device) satisfies the following range: The total cavity length of the red stacked organic light-emitting device in the red sub-pixel can be about to such as or etc. The total cavity length of the green stacked organic light-emitting device in the green sub-pixel can be about to such as or etc. The total cavity length of the blue stacked organic light-emitting device in the blue sub-pixel can be about to such as or etc. In this way, the device efficiency can be effectively improved. Beyond this range, the device efficiency will decrease by more than 10%. For example, the total cavity length of the red stacked organic light-emitting device in the red sub-pixel can be about The total cavity length of the green stacked organic light-emitting device in the green sub-pixel can be about The total cavity length of the blue stacked organic electroluminescent device in the blue sub-pixel can be approximately In this way, the device efficiency can be optimized.
[0097] In this way, the optical path difference between the reflected light and the transmitted light from the light-emitting position to the electrode in the out-of-emission direction of the red stacked organic electroluminescent device in the red sub-pixel can satisfy 1 to 2 times the wavelength of the red light, the optical path difference between the reflected light and the transmitted light from the light-emitting position to the electrode in the out-of-emission direction of the green stacked organic electroluminescent device in the green sub-pixel can satisfy 1 to 2 times the wavelength of the green light, and the optical path difference between the reflected light and the transmitted light from the light-emitting position to the electrode in the out-of-emission direction of the blue stacked organic electroluminescent device in the blue sub-pixel can satisfy 1 to 2 times the wavelength of the blue light. It can meet the optical path requirements of the optical microcavity (also known as the microresonator or microcavity), and can strengthen the microcavity effect corresponding to different color sub-pixels. Thus, the light-emitting device in the display panel can adopt a device structure of 1&2 cycles, which can avoid the problem of blocked hole transport on the anode side generated by the 2&3 cycle device, avoid a significant increase in the driving voltage of the device, and improve the light-emitting efficiency of the display panel.
[0098] Among them, the total cavity length of the stacked organic electroluminescent device satisfies the following relationship:
[0099] D = d0*n0 + (d 11 *n 11 +…+ d 1k *n 1k ) + (d 21 *n 21 +…+ d 2j *n 2j ) Formula (1);
[0100] Among them, D represents the total cavity length of the stacked organic electroluminescent device, d0 represents the thickness of the electrode with higher transmittance among the first electrode and the second electrode of the stacked organic electroluminescent device, n0 represents the refractive index of the electrode with higher transmittance among the first electrode and the second electrode of the stacked organic electroluminescent device, d 11 represents the thickness of the first functional layer of the first light-emitting unit in the stacked organic electroluminescent device, n 11 represents the refractive index of the first functional layer of the first light-emitting unit in the stacked organic electroluminescent device, d 1k represents the thickness of the kth functional layer of the first light-emitting unit in the sub-pixel, n 1k represents the refractive index of the kth functional layer of the first light-emitting unit in the sub-pixel, d 21 represents the thickness of the first functional layer of the second light-emitting unit in the stacked organic electroluminescent device, n 21Refractive index of the first functional layer of the second light-emitting unit in the stacked organic electroluminescent device, d 2j Thickness of the j-th functional layer of the second light-emitting unit in the stacked organic electroluminescent device, n 2j Refractive index of the k-th functional layer of the second light-emitting unit in the stacked organic electroluminescent device, where k and j are positive integers greater than 1.
[0101] For example, the functional layers of the first light-emitting unit may include: a hole injection layer (HIL) 21, a first hole transport layer (HTL1) 22, a first auxiliary light-emitting layer (Prime1) 23, a first light-emitting layer (EML1) 24, a first hole blocking layer (HBL1) 25, and a first electron transport layer (ETL1) 26. The functional layers of the second light-emitting unit may include: a second hole transport layer (HTL2) 46, a second auxiliary light-emitting layer (Prime2) 45, a second light-emitting layer (EML2) 44, a second hole blocking layer (HBL2) 43, a second electron transport layer (ETL2) 42, and an electron injection layer (EIL) 41. At this time, k and j are 6.
[0102] In some exemplary embodiments, both the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer may include a light-emitting host material and a light-emitting guest material. Exemplarily, the light-emitting host material may be a bipolar single host, or may be a dual host formed by blending a hole-type host and an electron-type host, such as CBP. Exemplarily, the light-emitting guest material may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a phosphorescent material, a fluorescent material, and a delayed fluorescent material, such as Bis[2-(2'-benzothienyl)pyridinato-N,C3'](acetylacetonato)iridium (abbreviated as Btp2Ir(acac)), Tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) (abbreviated as Ir(ppy)3), Bis[2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-C2,N](picolinato)iridium(III) (abbreviated as FIrpic), etc.
[0103] Exemplarily, the doping ratio of the light-emitting guest material in the light-emitting layer is about 5% to 15%. For example, the doping ratio of the light-emitting guest material in the light-emitting layer can be about 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 9%, 9.5% or 10%, etc. Here, the doping ratio can refer to the weight ratio of the light-emitting guest material to the weight of the light-emitting layer where it is located. Alternatively, the doping ratio can refer to the rate ratio during evaporation, corresponding to the ratio of the evaporation thickness of the light-emitting guest material to the total thickness of the light-emitting layer where it is located. For example, taking the thickness of the first light-emitting layer to be about as an example, for a light-emitting layer with a thickness of , a doping ratio of 10% means that the evaporation thickness of the light-emitting guest material is about Thus, by limiting the doping ratio of the light-emitting guest material D within the above range, high efficiency can be ensured while ensuring a long lifespan. Here, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the materials of the first light-emitting layer and the second light-emitting layer.

The first light-emitting layer in the green sub-pixel can adopt CBP doped with 8% Ir(ppy)3, and the second light-emitting layer in the green sub-pixel can adopt CBP doped with 6% Ir(ppy)3. The first light-emitting layer in the blue sub-pixel and the second light-emitting layer in the blue sub-pixel can adopt CBP doped with 2% FIrpic.

[0156] Thus, by increasing the thicknesses of the first hole transport layer (HTL1) adjacent to the anode, the first electron transport layer (ETL1) adjacent to the cathode, and the N-type charge generation layer (N-CGL), the SPP effect generated by the metal in the electrodes and the N-type charge generation layer can be significantly reduced, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the device and enhancing the device performance. In addition, by correspondingly adjusting the structures of the sub-pixels of different colors, the carrier balance in the pixels of different colors can be prevented from being broken, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the device and ensuring that the device voltage and lifespan do not decrease significantly, enhancing the device performance.

[0160] Taking the wavelength of red light as 630 nm, the wavelength of green light as 530 nm, and the wavelength of blue light as 420 nm as an example, according to the data in Table 1 and Table 2, through formula (1), it can be determined that the equivalent cavity length of the microcavity corresponding to the red stacked organic light-emitting device is to The equivalent cavity length of the microcavity corresponding to the green stacked organic light-emitting device is to And the equivalent cavity length of the microcavity corresponding to the blue stacked organic light-emitting device is to It can be seen that the device in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can meet the equivalent cavity length condition of the 1&2 cycle device structure, ensuring that the 1&2 cycles remain unchanged.
[0161] Table 3. Performance comparison between the device of the embodiment of the present disclosure and the device of the comparative example
[0162]
[0163] It can be seen from the data in Table 3 that compared with the device of the comparative example using some technologies, in the device of the embodiment using the technology in the present disclosure, the efficiency of the stacked organic light-emitting device (R) in the red sub-pixel is increased by 9%, the efficiency of the stacked organic light-emitting device (G) in the green sub-pixel is increased by 18%, and the efficiency of the stacked organic light-emitting device (B) in the blue sub-pixel is increased by 23%. It can be seen that there is an obvious improvement in the device efficiency. In addition, the change ranges of the voltage and life of the device are both within ±5%, which is basically consistent with the device of the comparative example.
[0164] Here, the efficiency improvement of the stacked organic light-emitting device in the blue sub-pixel is more obvious than that in the green sub-pixel and the red sub-pixel because the SPP effect is more obvious in the blue light band (420 nm to 460 nm). By increasing the thicknesses of the first hole transport layer (HTL1), the first electron transport layer (ETL1), the N-type charge generation layer (N-CGL), and the second electron transport layer (ETL2), the SPP effect is most weakened for blue light, followed by green light and red light. After doping RD in the second auxiliary light-emitting layer (Prime2) in the red stacked organic light-emitting device, the exciton recombination region moves towards the interface of the second auxiliary light-emitting layer (Prime2) / the second light-emitting layer (EML2), resulting in an increase in the electron transport distance, a 3% increase in voltage, and a 4% decrease in life.
[0165] As can be seen from the above experimental results, for the display substrate in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, by increasing the thickness of the first hole transport layer (HTL1) adjacent to the anode, the thickness of the second electron transport layer (ETL2) adjacent to the cathode, the thickness of the N-type charge generation layer (N-CGL), and the thickness of the first electron transport layer (ETL1) adjacent to the N-type charge generation layer (N-CGL), the SPP effect generated by the metal in the electrode and the N-type charge generation layer (N-CGL) can be significantly reduced, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the device. Moreover, by correspondingly adjusting the film thicknesses of different color sub-pixels, the carrier balance in each pixel can be prevented from being disrupted, so that the light-emitting efficiency of the devices in the display substrate can be improved without changing other performance of the device (such as voltage and lifespan).
