[0048] In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various embodiments or implementations of the present disclosure. As used herein, "embodiment" and "implementation" are interchangeable terms that are non-limiting examples of the devices or methods disclosed herein. However, it will be apparent that the various embodiments may be practiced without these specific details, or may be practiced with one or more equivalent arrangements. Here, the various embodiments are not necessarily exclusive and do not limit the present disclosure. For example, the specific shapes, configurations, and characteristics of an embodiment may be used or implemented in another embodiment.
[0049] Unless otherwise specified, the described embodiments are to be understood as providing features of the present inventive concept. Thus, unless otherwise specified, without departing from the inventive concept, the features, components, modules, layers, films, panels, regions, and / or aspects, etc. (hereinafter individually or collectively referred to as "elements") of the various embodiments may be otherwise combined, separated, interchanged, and / or rearranged.
[0050] The use of cross-hatching and / or shading is generally provided in the drawings to clarify the boundaries between adjacent elements. Thus, the presence or absence of cross-hatching or shading does not express or indicate any preference or requirement for a particular material, material property, size, ratio, commonality between the illustrated elements, and / or any other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc. of the elements, unless specified. Further, in the drawings, for clarity and / or descriptive purposes, the dimensions and relative dimensions of elements may be enlarged. When an embodiment can be implemented differently, the specific process order may be performed differently from the described order. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described order. Additionally, the same reference numerals and / or reference symbols denote the same elements.
[0051] When an element or layer is referred to as being "on," "connected to," or "coupled to" another element or layer, it can be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other element or layer, or there can be intervening elements or layers. However, when an element or layer is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers. For this reason, the term "connected" can refer to physical connection, electrical connection, and / or fluid connection, with or without intervening elements. In addition, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of a rectangular coordinate system, such as the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis can be perpendicular to each other, or can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other.
[0052] For the purposes of this disclosure, "at least one of A and B" can be interpreted as only A, only B, or any combination of A and B. In addition, "at least one of X, Y, and Z" and "at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z" can be interpreted as only X, only Y, only Z, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any combination and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0053] Although terms such as "first," "second," etc. may be used herein to describe various types of elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element from another. Thus, the first element discussed below can be referred to as the second element without departing from the teachings of this disclosure.
[0054] Spatial relative terms such as "beneath," "below," "under," "lower," "above," "on," "over," "higher," "side" (e.g., as in "sidewall") etc. may be used herein for descriptive purposes and, thereby, to describe the relationship of one element to another as illustrated in the figures. Spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use, operation, and / or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as "beneath" or "below" another element or feature would then be oriented "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the term "beneath" can encompass both an orientation above and below. In addition, the device may be oriented in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and so, the spatial relative descriptors used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.
[0055] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Additionally, the terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes" and / or "including" when used in this specification specify the presence of the stated feature, integer, step, operation, element, component, and / or group thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. It is also noted that, as used herein, the terms "substantially", "about" and other similar terms are used as approximate terms and not as terms of degree, and as such, are used to interpret the inherent deviations in measured, calculated, and / or provided values that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.
[0056] Reference cross-sectional illustrations and / or exploded illustrations are described herein for various embodiments, the cross-sectional illustrations and / or exploded illustrations being schematic illustrations of the embodiments and / or intermediate structures. As such, variations in the shapes of the illustrations due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are to be expected. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed herein should not necessarily be construed as limited to the specific illustrated shapes of regions, but should include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. In this manner, the regions illustrated in the figures may be schematic in nature, and the shapes of these regions may not reflect the actual shapes of regions of the device, and as such, are not necessarily intended to be limiting.
[0057] As is conventional in the art, some embodiments are described and illustrated in the drawings with respect to functional blocks, units, and / or modules. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these blocks, units, and / or modules are physically implemented by electronic (or optical) circuits (e.g., logic circuits), discrete components, microprocessors, hardwired circuits, memory elements, wiring connections, etc., which may be formed using semiconductor-based manufacturing techniques or other manufacturing techniques. In cases where the blocks, units, and / or modules are implemented by a microprocessor or other similar hardware, they may be programmed and controlled using software (e.g., microcode) to perform the various functions discussed herein, and may optionally be driven by firmware and / or software. It is also contemplated that each block, unit, and / or module may be implemented by dedicated hardware, or a combination of dedicated hardware performing some functions and a processor (e.g., one or more programmed microprocessors and associated circuits) performing other functions. Additionally, without departing from the scope of the inventive concept, each block, unit, and / or module of some embodiments may be physically divided into two or more interacting and discrete blocks, units, and / or modules. Additionally, without departing from the scope of the inventive concept, the blocks, units, and / or modules of some embodiments may be physically combined into more complex blocks, units, and / or modules.
[0058] Unless otherwise defined or implied herein, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It should be further understood that terms (such as those defined in common dictionaries) should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and this disclosure, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
[0059] A light-emitting device according to one aspect may include a first electrode; a second electrode facing the first electrode; and an intermediate layer located between the first electrode and the second electrode,
[0060] wherein the intermediate layer may include m emission units; and m - 1 charge generation units located between two adjacent emission units among the m emission units,
[0061] m may be an integer of 2 or greater than 2,
[0062] At least one of the m emission units may include a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, and
[0063] The first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel may satisfy Inequality 1:
[0064] [Inequality 1]
[0065] V on2 -V on1≤0.2V
[0066] Among them, in Inequality 1,
[0067] V on1 can be the turn-on voltage of the first sub-pixel,
[0068] V on2 can be the turn-on voltage of the second sub-pixel,
[0069] The turn-on voltage of the first sub-pixel can be the voltage applied to the first sub-pixel when the luminance of the first sub-pixel is 1 nit, and
[0070] The turn-on voltage of the second sub-pixel can be the voltage applied to the second sub-pixel when the luminance of the second sub-pixel is 1 nit.
[0071] Generally, in the case of a light-emitting device including two or more sub-pixels, it may be desirable to control the lateral leakage current between each sub-pixel to prevent its occurrence. The lateral leakage current between the sub-pixels of the light-emitting device can be represented by Equation L:
[0072] [Equation L]
[0073]
[0074] (V: voltage, R: resistance, ρ: resistivity, L: distance between sub-pixels, A: area).
[0075] Referring to Equation L, it can be seen that the lateral leakage current can be reduced by increasing the sub-pixel pitch. However, as the sub-pixel pitch increases, there may be disadvantages in terms of aperture ratio, and it may have a negative impact on the service life of the light-emitting device. Therefore, in order to achieve a high-quality light-emitting device, it may be desirable to configure the light-emitting device to reduce the lateral leakage current while maintaining the sub-pixel pitch within a certain range.
[0076] In the light-emitting device according to the embodiment, when the turn-on voltages of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel satisfy the relationship of Inequality 1 to minimize the gap in the turn-on voltage of the device, even if there is a certain amount of leakage current, when the second sub-pixel is turned on due to the same level of turn-on voltage, color mixing can be prevented by minimizing the turn-on of the first sub-pixel. When the resistivity in the lateral direction is increased while maintaining the sub-pixel pitch within a certain range, the lateral leakage current between the sub-pixels can be reduced, thereby preventing the color mixing phenomenon of the light-emitting device and improving color purity, luminous efficiency, and service life.
[0077] The specific range of resistivity in the lateral direction can vary according to each layer included in the light-emitting device. For example, in the light-emitting device according to an embodiment, based on a single layer having a pixel pitch of about 20 μm, the resistivity of the hole injection layer (e.g., the first hole injection layer or the p-type charge injection layer (pHIL)) can be 10 4 Ωm or greater than 10 4 Ωm, the resistivity of the n-type charge generation layer can be 10 6 Ωm or greater than 10 6 Ωm, and the resistivity of the p-type charge generation layer can be 10 3 Ωm or greater than 10 3 Ωm. When this range is satisfied, the light-emitting device according to the embodiment can prevent color mixing phenomena and improve color purity, luminous efficiency, and service life.
[0078] In the light-emitting device according to the embodiment, the turn-on voltage, that is, the driving voltage at a luminance of 1 nit, rather than the driving voltage at high luminance (which can generally be the required luminance of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel), can satisfy the relationship of Inequality 1, thereby preventing color mixing phenomena in the light-emitting device at low gray levels and improving color purity and luminous efficiency. Therefore, the light-emitting device according to the embodiment can exhibit excellent images even at low gray levels and / or extremely low luminances.
[0079] According to an embodiment, the maximum emission wavelength of the first sub-pixel can be longer than the maximum emission wavelength of the second sub-pixel.
[0080] According to an embodiment, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel can satisfy Inequality 2:
[0081] [Inequality 2]
[0082] V on2 -V on1 <0.2V.
[0083] According to an embodiment, the distance between the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel may be from about 10 μm to about 35 μm. For example, the distance between the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel may be from about 12 μm to about 30 μm. Within the above-described range, the lateral leakage current of the light-emitting device can be reduced, thereby preventing the color mixing phenomenon of the light-emitting device, and improving color purity, efficiency, and service life. For example, when the distance between the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel is less than about 10 μm, there may be physical difficulties in manufacturing the light-emitting device, and when the distance between the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel is greater than about 35 μm, the size of the sub-pixel must be reduced, which may significantly reduce (e.g., reduce by about 30% or more) the service life, and may also increase (e.g., increase by about 2 V or more) the driving voltage, which may significantly deteriorate the characteristics of the light-emitting device.
[0084] According to an embodiment, at least one of the m emission units may further include a third sub-pixel.
[0085] According to an embodiment, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel may satisfy Inequality 3:
[0086] [Inequality 3]
[0087] V on3 -V on2 ≤0.2V
[0088] Wherein in Inequality 3,
[0089] V on2 may be the turn-on voltage of the second sub-pixel,
[0090] V on3 may be the turn-on voltage of the third sub-pixel,
[0091] The turn-on voltage of the second sub-pixel may be the voltage applied to the second sub-pixel when the luminance of the second sub-pixel is 1 nit, and
[0092] The turn-on voltage of the third sub-pixel may be the voltage applied to the third sub-pixel when the luminance of the third sub-pixel is 1 nit.
[0093] According to an embodiment, the maximum emission wavelength of the second sub-pixel may be longer than the maximum emission wavelength of the third sub-pixel.
[0094] According to an embodiment, the distance between two adjacent sub-pixels among the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel may be from about 10 μm to about 35 μm. For example, the distance between two adjacent sub-pixels among the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel may be from about 12 μm to about 30 μm.
[0095] According to an embodiment, the first sub-pixel may be a red sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel may be a green sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel may be a blue sub-pixel.
[0096] According to an embodiment, the pixel defining layer may be located between two adjacent sub-pixels among the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel.
[0097] According to an embodiment, the pixel defining layer may have a surface shape such as an approximately flat structure, a concavo-convex structure, a trench structure, or a tapered structure.
[0098] According to an embodiment, the pixel defining layer may be formed as a single layer or a multi-layer.
[0099] According to an embodiment, the m emission units may include a first emission unit and a second emission unit.
[0100] According to an embodiment, the region where the emission layer may be disposed in each emission unit may be referred to as a light emitting region. For example, the first emission unit may include a first light emitting region, and the second emission unit may include a second light emitting region. Details regarding the emission layer may be the same as those described herein.
[0101] According to an embodiment, the first emission unit and the second emission unit may include a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, respectively.
[0102] According to an embodiment, the first emission unit may further include a first hole transport region located between the first electrode and the first light emitting region.
[0103] According to an embodiment, the first hole transport region may be adjacent to the first electrode.
[0104] According to an embodiment, the m - 1 charge generation units may include a first charge generation unit.
[0105] According to an embodiment, the first charge generation unit may include a first n-type charge generation layer and a first p-type charge generation layer.
[0106] According to an embodiment, the first hole transport region and the first p-type charge generation layer may each include a charge generation dopant.
[0107] According to an embodiment, the charge generation dopant may satisfy Inequality 11:
[0108] [Inequality 11]
[0109] LUMO(CGD) < -5.0eV
[0110] Wherein, in Inequality 11, LUMO(CGD) may be the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level of the charge generation dopant.

[0433] According to an embodiment, the hole-transporting host may be represented by one of Formulae 311-1 to 311-6, and the electron-transporting host may be represented by one of Formulae 312-1 to 312-4 and Formula 313:

[0529] In the specification, the thermally activated delayed fluorescence material may be selected from compounds capable of emitting thermally activated delayed fluorescence based on the thermally activated delayed fluorescence emission mechanism.
[0530] Depending on the type of other materials included in the emission layer, the thermally activated delayed fluorescence material included in the emission layer may act as a host or as a dopant.
[0531] According to an embodiment, the difference between the triplet energy level (eV) and the singlet energy level (eV) of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence material may be from about 0 eV to about 0.5 eV. When the difference between the triplet energy level (eV) and the singlet energy level (eV) of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence material satisfies the range described above, upconversion from the triplet state to the singlet state of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence material can occur effectively, and thus the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device 10 can be improved.

[0539] Quantum dots may be synthesized by a wet chemical process, a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition process, a molecular beam epitaxy process, or any similar process.
[0540] The wet chemical process may be a method including mixing precursor materials with an organic solvent and growing quantum dot particle crystals. In the case of crystal growth, the organic solvent naturally acts as a dispersant coordinated on the surface of the quantum dot crystals and controls the crystal growth so that the growth of the quantum dot particles can be controlled by a process that is less costly and can be more easily performed than vapor deposition methods (such as metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)).
[0541] Quantum dots may include: II-VI group semiconductor compounds, III-V group semiconductor compounds, III-VI group semiconductor compounds, I-III-VI group semiconductor compounds, IV-VI group semiconductor compounds, Group IV elements or compounds, or any combination thereof.

[0547] Examples of group IV elements or compounds can include: single element materials such as Si, Ge, etc.; binary compounds such as SiC, SiGe, etc.; or any combination thereof.
[0548] Each element contained in a compound (such as a binary compound, ternary compound, or quaternary compound) can be present in the particles at a uniform concentration or at a non-uniform concentration.
[0549] In an embodiment, the quantum dots can have a single structure, in which the concentration of each element in the quantum dots can be uniform, or the quantum dots can have a core-shell structure. In the case where the quantum dots have a core-shell structure, the material contained in the core and the material contained in the shell can be different from each other.
[0550] The shell of the quantum dots can serve as a protective layer to prevent chemical denaturation of the core to maintain semiconductor properties and / or can serve as a charging layer to impart electrophoretic properties to the quantum dots. The shell can be a single layer or multiple layers. The interface between the core and the shell can have a concentration gradient, where the concentration of the element present in the shell decreases towards the core.
[0551] Examples of shells of quantum dots can include metal oxides, metalloid oxides, non-metal oxides, semiconductor compounds, and any combination thereof. Examples of metal oxides, metalloid oxides, or non-metal oxides can include: binary compounds such as SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, ZnO, MnO, Mn2O3, Mn3O4, CuO, FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, CoO, Co3O4, NiO, etc.; ternary compounds such as MgAl2O4, CoFe2O4, NiFe2O4, CoMn2O4, etc.; or any combination thereof. Examples of semiconductor compounds can include, as described herein: II-VI group semiconductor compounds; III-V group semiconductor compounds; III-VI group semiconductor compounds; I-III-VI group semiconductor compounds; IV-VI group semiconductor compounds, or any combination thereof. For example, semiconductor compounds can include CdS, CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, ZnSeS, ZnTeS, GaAs, GaP, GaSb, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, InAs, InP, InGaP, InSb, AlAs, AlP, AlSb, or any combination thereof.
[0552] The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots can be about 45 nm or less than 45 nm. For example, the FWHM of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots can be about 40 nm or less than 40 nm. For example, the FWHM of the emission spectrum of the quantum dots can be about 30 nm or less than 30 nm. In any of these ranges, color purity or color reproducibility can be improved. The light emitted by the quantum dots can be emitted in all directions, enabling improved wide viewing angles.
[0553] In an embodiment, the quantum dots can be in the form of spherical nanoparticles, pyramidal nanoparticles, multi-armed nanoparticles, cubic nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, nanofibers, or nanoplates.
[0554] Since the band gap can be adjusted by controlling the size of the quantum dots, light with various wavelength bands can be obtained from the quantum dot emission layer. Thus, by using quantum dots of different sizes, a light-emitting device that emits light of various wavelengths can be achieved. Specifically, the size of the quantum dots can be selected to emit red light, green light, and / or blue light. The size of the quantum dots can be configured to emit white light by combining lights of various colors.
