Description
[0001] Cross - reference to related applications
[0002] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10 - 2024 - 0010925, filed in Korea on January 24, 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Technical field
[0003] The present disclosure relates to an organic light - emitting diode (OLED), and more particularly, to an organic light - emitting diode having an improved lifespan and an organic light - emitting device including the organic light - emitting diode. Background art
[0004] As the demand for display devices, especially display devices that occupy a small space, increases in various fields, organic light - emitting display devices (e.g., organic electroluminescent devices) including OLEDs have become the focus of recent research and development.
[0005] OLEDs can offer certain advantages over conventional display technologies. For example, organic light - emitting display devices can operate at low voltages, consume relatively less power, have excellent color, can be applied to flexible substrates, and can be provided in various sizes for various applications. Compared to liquid - crystal display (LCD) devices, OLED devices can have a wide viewing angle and high contrast, and do not require a backlight, making them lightweight and ultrathin.
[0006] An OLED is formed by disposing a plurality of intermediate layers such as a hole - injection layer, a hole - transport layer, a hole - transport assist layer, an electron - blocking layer, an electron - transport layer, an electron - injection layer, etc. between a cathode (electron - injection electrode) and an anode (hole - injection electrode). When a voltage is applied, an OLED emits light by injecting electrons from the cathode, which is an electron - injection electrode, and holes from the anode, which is a hole - injection electrode, into a light - emitting material layer (EML), where the electrons and holes combine to generate excitons, and the excitons emit light when transitioning from an excited state to a ground state.
[0007] Since fluorescent materials utilize only singlet excitons during the light - emitting process, there is a problem of low luminous efficiency. For example, in the case of fluorescent materials, only about 25% of the singlet excitons formed in the light - emitting layer are used to generate light, while 75% of the triplet excitons are mostly lost in the form of heat. Meanwhile, since phosphorescent materials use both triplet excitons and singlet excitons during the light - emitting process, they can exhibit high luminous efficiency. However, examples of phosphorescent materials include metal complexes, which have a short luminescence lifespan, which may be too short for commercial use.
[0008] Compared with conventional organic light-emitting diodes, there is still a technical need to improve the performance of organic light-emitting diodes by obtaining highly efficient phosphorescent dopant materials and applying hosts with optimal photophysical properties to improve the efficiency and lifetime of the device. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0052] Reference will now be made in detail to aspects of the present disclosure, examples of which may be illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when a detailed description of a known function or configuration related to this document makes the gist of the inventive concept unnecessarily obscure, its detailed description will be omitted. The described processing steps and / or operations are examples; however, except for steps and / or operations that must occur in a specific order, the order of steps and / or operations is not limited to the order set forth herein, but may be changed as known in the art. Throughout the text, the same reference numerals indicate the same elements. The names of the individual elements used in the following description are chosen only for the convenience of writing the specification and may thus be different from the names used in actual products. All components of all organic light emitting display devices according to all embodiments of the present disclosure are operably coupled and configured.
[0053] Advantages and features of the present disclosure and methods of achieving them will become apparent with reference to the aspects and the accompanying drawings described in detail below. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the aspects disclosed below, but may be implemented in various different forms, and only these aspects make the disclosure of the present disclosure complete. The present disclosure is provided to fully inform those skilled in the art of the field of the present disclosure of the scope of the present disclosure.
[0054] The shapes, sizes, proportions, angles, quantities, etc. disclosed in the accompanying drawings for illustrating aspects of the present disclosure are illustrative, and the present disclosure is not limited to the cases illustrated. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. In addition, when describing the present disclosure, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known technologies makes the subject matter of the present disclosure unnecessarily obscure, its detailed description may be omitted. When using "comprising", "having", "consisting of", etc. in this specification, other parts may be added unless "only" is used. When a component is expressed in the singular, the case including the plural is also included unless a specific statement is described. In addition, the term "may" encompasses all meanings and scopes of the term "can".
[0055] When interpreting an element, although there is no clear description of the error or tolerance range, the element is interpreted as including such an error or tolerance range.
[0056] When describing a positional relationship, for example, when the positional relationship between two parts is described as, for example, "on", "above", "under", and "near", one or more other parts may be provided between the two parts unless a more restrictive term (such as "exactly" or "directly") is used.
[0057] When describing temporal relationships, for example, when a temporal order is described as, for example, "after", "subsequently", "then", and "before", discontinuous cases may be included unless more restrictive terms (such as "exactly", "immediately", or "directly") are used.
[0058] It will be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe multiple elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first element may be referred to as the second element, and similarly, the second element may be referred to as the first element.
[0059] The features of various aspects of the present disclosure may be partially or wholly coupled or combined with each other and may operate differently from each other and be technically driven as can be fully understood by those skilled in the art. The aspects of the present disclosure may be carried out independently of each other or may be carried out together in a mutually dependent relationship.
[0060] Reference will now be made in detail to some embodiments and some implementations shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0061] The present disclosure relates to an OLED in which adjacent blue light-emitting layers each have a different combination in terms of their compounds (materials), and an organic light-emitting device including the OLED. For example, the organic light-emitting device may be an organic light-emitting display device or an organic lighting device. As an example, an organic light-emitting display device including the OLED of the present disclosure will be mainly described.
[0062] Figure 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of the organic light-emitting display device of the present disclosure.
[0063] As Figure 1 shown, the organic light-emitting display device includes: a gate line GL, a data line DL, a power line PL, a switching thin-film transistor TFT Ts, a driving TFT Td, a storage capacitor Cst, and an OLED D. The gate line GL and the data line DL cross each other to define a pixel region P. The pixel region may include a red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region.
[0064] The switching TFT Ts is connected to the gate line GL and the data line DL, and the driving TFT Td and the storage capacitor Cst are connected to the switching TFT Ts and the power line PL. The OLED D is connected to the driving TFT Td.
[0065] In an organic light emitting display device, when a switching TFT Ts is turned on by a gate signal applied via a gate line GL, a data signal from a data line DL is applied to a gate electrode of a driving TFT Td and one electrode of a storage capacitor Cst.
[0066] When the driving TFT Td is turned on by the data signal, current is supplied from a power line PL to an OLED D. As a result, the OLED D emits light. In this case, when the driving TFT Td is turned on, the level of the current applied from the power line PL to the OLED D is determined such that the OLED D can generate gray levels.
[0067] The storage capacitor Cst is used to hold the voltage of the gate electrode of the driving TFT Td when the switching TFT Ts is turned off. Accordingly, even when the switching TFT Ts is turned off, the level of the current applied from the power line PL to the OLED D is maintained until the next frame.
[0068] Accordingly, the organic light emitting display device displays a desired image.
[0069] Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light emitting display device according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0070] As Figure 2 shown, the organic light emitting display device 100 includes a substrate 110, a TFT Tr on or above the substrate 110, a planarization layer 150 covering the TFT Tr, and an OLED D on the planarization layer 150 and connected to the TFT Tr. A red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region may be defined on the substrate 110.
[0071] The substrate 110 may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible substrate may be one of a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, and a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.
[0072] A buffer layer 122 is formed on the substrate, and the TFT Tr is formed on the buffer layer 122. The buffer layer 122 may be omitted. For example, the buffer layer 122 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
[0073] A semiconductor layer 120 is formed on the buffer layer 122. The semiconductor layer 120 may include an oxide semiconductor material or polysilicon.
[0074] When the semiconductor layer 120 includes an oxide semiconductor material, a light-shielding pattern may be formed under the semiconductor layer 120. Light reaching the semiconductor layer 120 is blocked or obstructed by the light-shielding pattern, such that thermal degradation of the semiconductor layer 120 can be prevented. On the other hand, when the semiconductor layer 120 includes polysilicon, impurities may be doped into both sides of the semiconductor layer 120.
[0075] A gate insulating layer 124 is formed on the semiconductor layer 120. The gate insulating layer 124 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
[0076] A gate electrode 130 formed of a conductive material (e.g., metal) is formed on the gate insulating layer 124 corresponding to the center of the semiconductor layer 120. For example, the gate electrode 130 may be formed of a metal such as copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), gold (Au), or silver (Ag). The gate electrode 130 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.
[0077] In Figure 2 the gate insulating layer 124 is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 110. Alternatively, the gate insulating layer 124 may be patterned to have the same shape as the gate electrode 130.
[0078] An interlayer insulating layer 132 is formed on the gate electrode 130 and above the entire surface of the substrate 110. The interlayer insulating layer 132 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material (e.g., silicon oxide or silicon nitride) or an organic insulating material (e.g., benzocyclobutene or photo-acryl).
[0079] The interlayer insulating layer 132 includes a first contact hole 134 and a second contact hole 136 that expose both sides of the semiconductor layer 120. The first contact hole 134 and the second contact hole 136 are positioned on both sides of the gate electrode 130 and spaced apart from the gate electrode 130.
[0080] The first contact hole 134 and the second contact hole 136 are formed to penetrate through the gate insulating layer 124 and the interlayer insulating layer 132. Alternatively, when the gate insulating layer 124 is patterned to have the same shape as the gate electrode 130, the first contact hole 134 and the second contact hole 136 are formed to penetrate only through the interlayer insulating layer 132.
[0081] A source electrode 144 and a drain electrode 146 formed of a conductive material (e.g., metal) are formed on the interlayer insulating layer 132. The source electrode 144 and the drain electrode 146 are spaced apart from each other with respect to the gate electrode 130, and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer 120 through the first contact hole 134 and the second contact hole 136, respectively.
[0082] For example, each of the source electrode 144 and the drain electrode 146 may be formed of a metal such as Cu, Mo, Ti, Al, Au, or Ag. Each of the source electrode 144 and the drain electrode 146 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.
[0083] The semiconductor layer 120, the gate electrode 130, the source electrode 144, and the drain electrode 146 constitute the TFT Tr. The TFT Tr serves as a driving element. That is, the TFT Tr is the driving TFT Td of ( Figure 1 ).
[0084] In the TFT Tr, the gate electrode 130, the source electrode 144, and the drain electrode 146 are positioned above the semiconductor layer 120. That is, the TFT Tr has a coplanar structure.
[0085] Alternatively, in the TFT Tr, the gate electrode may be positioned below the semiconductor layer, and the source electrode and the drain electrode may be positioned above the semiconductor layer, such that the TFT Tr may have an inverted staggered structure. In this case, the semiconductor layer may include amorphous silicon.
[0086] In some embodiments, the gate line and the data line cross each other to define a pixel region, and the switching TFT is formed to be connected to the gate line and the data line. The switching TFT is connected to the TFT Tr that serves as a driving element. In addition, a power supply line and a storage capacitor may be formed. The power supply line may be formed to be parallel and spaced apart from one of the gate line and the data line. The storage capacitor is used to hold the voltage of the gate electrode of the TFT Tr in one frame.
[0087] The planarization layer 150 is formed on the entire surface of the substrate 110 to cover the source electrode 144 and the drain electrode 146. The planarization layer 150 provides a flat top surface and has a drain contact hole 152 that exposes the drain electrode 146 of the TFT Tr. The planarization layer 150 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material (e.g., silicon oxide or silicon nitride) or an organic insulating material (e.g., benzocyclobutene or photoacrylic).
[0088] The OLED D is disposed on the planarization layer 150 and includes a first electrode 210, an organic light-emitting layer 220, and a second electrode 230. The first electrode 210 is connected to the drain electrode 146 of the TFT Tr. The organic light-emitting layer 220 and the second electrode 230 are sequentially stacked on the first electrode 210. The OLED D is positioned in each of the red pixel region, the green pixel region, and the blue pixel region and emits red light, green light, and blue light, respectively.
[0089] The first electrode 210 is formed discretely in each pixel region. The first electrode 210 may be an anode and may include a transparent conductive oxide material layer, which may be formed of a conductive material having a relatively high work function, such as transparent conductive oxide (TCO). For example, the transparent conductive oxide material layer may be formed of one of the following: indium-tin-oxide (ITO), indium-zinc-oxide (IZO), indium-tin-zinc-oxide (ITZO), tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium-copper-oxide (ICO), and aluminum-zinc-oxide (Al:ZnO, AZO).
[0090] The first electrode 210 may have a single-layer structure of a transparent conductive oxide material layer. That is, the first electrode 210 may be a transparent electrode.
[0091] Alternatively, the first electrode 210 may further include a reflective layer to have a bilayer structure or a trilayer structure. That is, the first electrode 210 may be a reflective electrode.
[0092] For example, the reflective layer may be formed of one of the following: silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), copper (Cu), indium (In), and an alloy of one of neodymium (Nd) and Ag, and an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. For example, the first electrode 210 may have a bilayer structure of Ag / ITO or APC / ITO or a trilayer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO or ITO / APC / ITO.
[0093] In addition, a bank layer 160 is formed on the planarization layer 150 to cover the edge of the first electrode 210. That is, the bank layer 160 is positioned at the boundary of the pixel region and exposes the center of the first electrode 210 in the pixel region.
[0094] An organic light-emitting layer 220 including a light-emitting material layer (EML) is formed on the first electrode 210. The organic light-emitting layer 220 may further include at least one of 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) to have a multilayer structure.
[0095] In one aspect of the present disclosure, in the OLED D in the blue pixel region, the EML of the organic light-emitting layer 220 includes a first blue light-emitting layer and a second blue light-emitting layer.
[0096] In one aspect of the present disclosure, the organic light-emitting layer 220 of the OLED D in the blue pixel region may include a first blue light-emitting part and a second blue light-emitting part to have a tandem structure. The first blue light-emitting part includes a first blue EML, the second blue light-emitting part includes a second blue EML, and at least one of the first blue EML and the second blue EML may include a first blue light-emitting layer and a second blue light-emitting layer. In this case, the organic light-emitting layer 220 may further include a charge generation layer (CGL) between the first blue light-emitting part and the second blue light-emitting part.
[0097] As described below, in the OLED D in the blue pixel region, one of the first blue light-emitting layer and the second blue light-emitting layer includes a first host and a second host capable of providing delayed fluorescence characteristics, and a first phosphorescent dopant, and the other of the first blue light-emitting layer and the second blue light-emitting layer includes a third host and a fourth host capable of providing exciplex characteristics, and a second phosphorescent dopant. Therefore, the OLED and the organic light-emitting device including the same have improved lifetime.
[0098] For example, the first blue light-emitting layer closer to the first electrode serving as the anode includes a first host and a second host capable of providing delayed fluorescence characteristics, and a first phosphorescent dopant, and the second blue light-emitting layer closer to the second electrode serving as the cathode includes a third host and a fourth host capable of providing exciplex characteristics, and a second phosphorescent dopant.
[0099] A second electrode 230 is formed over the substrate 110 on which the organic light-emitting layer 220 is formed. The second electrode 230 covers the entire surface of the display region and may be formed of a conductive material having a relatively low work function to serve as a cathode. For example, the second electrode 230 may be formed of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), silver (Ag), or an alloy thereof such as a Mg-Ag alloy (Mg:Ag).
[0100] In the top-emission type OLED D, the first electrode 210 serves as a reflective electrode, and the second electrode 230 has a thin profile to have a light-transmitting (or semi-light-transmitting) characteristic. That is, the visible light transmittance of the second electrode 230 may be greater than the visible light transmittance of the first electrode 210.
[0101] Alternatively, in the bottom-emission type OLED, the first electrode 210 serves as a transparent electrode, and the second electrode 230 serves as a reflective electrode. That is, the visible light transmittance of the second electrode 230 may be less than the visible light transmittance of the first electrode 210.
[0102] In the bottom-emitting type OLED D, the second electrode 230 may be formed of Al. In the top-emitting type OLED D, the second electrode 230 may be formed of Mg:Ag. In this case, the weight % ratio of Mg to Ag may be in the range of 1:9 to 9:1, preferably 1:9 to 3:7.
[0103] The top-emitting type OLED D may further include a cover layer on the second electrode 230. The luminous efficiency of the OLED D and the organic light-emitting display device 100 may be further improved by the cover layer.
[0104] An encapsulation layer (or encapsulation film) 170 is formed on the second electrode 230 to prevent moisture from penetrating into the OLED D. The encapsulation layer 170 includes a first inorganic insulating layer 172, an organic insulating layer 174, and a second inorganic insulating layer 176 stacked in sequence, but is not limited thereto.
[0105] In some embodiments, the organic light-emitting display device 100 may include a color filter layer corresponding to a red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region.
[0106] In the bottom-emitting type organic light-emitting display device 100, the color filter layer may be positioned between the substrate 110 and the OLED D. In the top-emitting type organic light-emitting display device 100, the color filter layer may be positioned above the OLED D. For example, in the top-emitting type organic light-emitting display device 100, the color filter layer may be positioned on the encapsulation layer 170.
[0107] In the bottom-emitting type organic light-emitting display device 100, the organic light-emitting display device 100 may further include a metal plate on or above the encapsulation layer 170.
[0108] The organic light-emitting display device 100 may further include a polarizing plate for reducing ambient light reflection. For example, the polarizing plate may be a circular polarizing plate. In the bottom-emitting type organic light-emitting display device 100, the polarizing plate may be disposed below the substrate 110. In the top-emitting type organic light-emitting display device 100, the polarizing plate may be disposed on or above the encapsulation layer 170.
[0109] In addition, the organic light-emitting display device 100 may further include a cover window on or above the encapsulation layer 170 or the polarizing plate. In this case, the substrate 110 and the cover window have flexible characteristics, so that a flexible organic light-emitting display device can be provided.
[0110] Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an OLED according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0111] As Figure 3As shown, the OLED D1 includes a first electrode 210 and a second electrode 230 facing each other, and an organic light-emitting layer 220 therebetween. The organic light-emitting layer 220 includes a blue light-emitting material layer (EML) 240, and the blue EML 240 includes a first blue light-emitting layer 250 and a second blue light-emitting layer 260. The top-emission type OLED D1 may further include a cover layer on the second electrode 230 to improve light extraction efficiency.
[0112] ( Figure 2 The organic light-emitting display device 100 may include a red pixel region, a green pixel region, and a blue pixel region, and the OLED D1 may be positioned in the blue pixel region.
[0113] One of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 is an anode, and the other of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 is a cathode. One of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 may be a reflective electrode, and the other of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 may be a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode.
[0114] In the top-emission type OLED D1, the first electrode 210 may be a reflective electrode and may have a structure of ITO / Ag / ITO, and the second electrode 230 may be a transparent electrode and may be formed of Mg:Ag with a weight ratio of 1:9.
[0115] In the bottom-emission type OLED D1, the first electrode 210 may be a transparent electrode and may be formed of ITO, and the second electrode 230 may be a reflective electrode and may be formed of Al.
[0116] In the blue EML 240, the second blue light-emitting layer 260 contacts the first blue light-emitting layer 250 and is disposed on the first blue light-emitting layer 250, such that the blue EML 240 has a bilayer structure. The first blue light-emitting layer 250 is disposed closer to the first electrode 210, which is the anode, than the second blue light-emitting layer 260, and the second blue light-emitting layer 260 is disposed closer to the second electrode 230, which is the cathode, than the first blue light-emitting layer 250.
[0117] The first blue light-emitting layer 250 includes a first p-type host 252, a first n-type host 254, and a first phosphorescent dopant 256, and the second blue light-emitting layer 260 includes a second p-type host 262, a second n-type host 264, and a second phosphorescent dopant 266. For example, the first phosphorescent dopant 256 may be referred to as the first emitter, and the second phosphorescent dopant 266 may be referred to as the second emitter.

In addition, the LUMO energy level (LUMO NH1 ) of the first n-type host 254 may be less than the LUMO energy level (LUMO PH1 ) of the first p-type host 252, and may be equal to or greater than the LUMO energy level (LUMO PD1 ) of the first phosphorescent dopant 256 (LUMO PH1 >LUMO NH1 ≥LUMO PD1 ). For example, the LUMO energy level (LUMO PD1 ) of the first phosphorescent dopant 256 may be -2.6 eV.

[0280] In this case, the delayed fluorescence characteristics can be provided by the first p-type host 252 and the first n-type host 254 in the first blue light-emitting layer 250, and the exciplex characteristics can be provided by the second p-type host 262 and the second n-type host 264 in the second blue light-emitting layer 260.
[0281] The PL spectrum can be measured at room temperature (i.e., 25 °C) using an organic solvent such as toluene. For example, after forming a film with a thickness of 30 nm using a solution in which the compound is dissolved at about 1 × 10 -5 M in an organic solvent (such as toluene), the PL spectrum can be measured using a photoluminescence (PL) detection and fluorescence spectrometer such as an FS-5 fluorescence spectrometer (Edinburgh Instruments).
[0282] Various methods for determining the HOMO energy level are known to those skilled in the art. For example, a conventional surface analyzer such as the AC3 surface analyzer manufactured by RKI instruments can be used to determine the HOMO energy level. The surface analyzer can be used to detect a monolayer film (pure film) of a compound with a thickness of 50 nm. The LUMO energy level can be calculated as follows:
[0283] LUMO energy level (eV) = HOMO energy level (eV) - bandgap energy level (eV).
[0284] The bandgap can be measured using a SCINCO S-3100 spectrophotometer. The HOMO and LUMO values of the compounds of the examples and embodiments disclosed herein can be determined in this way. That is, the HOMO and LUMO values can be experimentally determined values or empirically determined values for a thin film such as a 50 nm film.

[0303] In the OLED D1 of the present disclosure, the blue EML 240 includes a first blue light-emitting layer 250 and a second blue light-emitting layer 260. The first blue light-emitting layer 250 includes a first p-type host 252 represented by Formula 1, a first n-type host 254 represented by one of Formula 3 and Formula 5, and a first phosphorescent dopant 256 represented by Formula 7. The second blue light-emitting layer 260 includes a second p-type host 262 represented by Formula 1, a second n-type host 264 represented by the other of Formula 3 and Formula 5, and a second phosphorescent dopant 266 represented by Formula 7. Therefore, the lifetimes of the OLED D1 and the organic light-emitting display device 100 are improved.
[0304] For example, when a blue EML having a single-layer structure includes a p-type host represented by Formula 1, an n-type host represented by one of Formula 3 and Formula 5, and a phosphorescent dopant represented by Formula 7, the recombination region in the blue EML moves toward the first electrode or the second electrode, such that a triplet-polaron quenching problem may occur at the interface between the blue EML and an adjacent layer (e.g., the EBL or the HBL). Therefore, the lifetimes of the OLED and the organic light-emitting display device may be reduced.
[0305] However, in the OLED D1 of the present disclosure, since the blue EML 240 has a bilayer structure including a phosphorescent light-emitting layer having delayed fluorescence characteristics and a phosphorescent light-emitting layer having exciplex characteristics, the recombination region shifts toward the center of the blue EML 240, such that the triplet-polaron quenching problem can be prevented. Therefore, the service life of the OLED D1 and the organic light-emitting display device 100 can be improved.
[0306] In addition, when the phosphorescent light-emitting layer having exciplex characteristics is disposed closer to the cathode, the lifetimes of the OLED D1 and the organic light-emitting display device 100 can be further improved.
[0307] In addition, when the phosphorescent light-emitting layer having delayed fluorescence characteristics and the phosphorescent light-emitting layer having exciplex characteristics have the same thickness, the lifetimes of the OLED D1 and the organic light-emitting display device 100 can be further improved.

[0345] As shown in Table 2, compared with the OLEDs of Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the OLEDs of Examples 1 to 5 provide improved lifetimes.
[0346] The blue EMLs in the OLEDs of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 have a single-layer structure. On the other hand, the blue EMLs in the OLEDs of Examples 1 to 5 have a double-layer structure including a first blue light-emitting layer adjacent to the anode and a second blue light-emitting layer adjacent to the cathode.

[0376] Compared with the OLEDs of Comparative Examples 8 to 10 (where the blue EML has a double-layer structure including a first blue light-emitting layer adjacent to the anode and containing a first p-type host represented by Formula 1, a first n-type host represented by Formula 3, and a first phosphorescent dopant represented by Formula 7 and a second blue light-emitting layer adjacent to the cathode and containing a second p-type host represented by Formula 1, a second n-type host represented by Formula 5, and a second phosphorescent dopant represented by Formula 7), the lifetimes of the OLEDs of Examples 6 to 8 are significantly improved. That is, when the blue EML has a double-layer structure including a blue light-emitting layer with delayed fluorescence characteristics and a blue light-emitting layer with exciplex characteristics and the blue light-emitting layer with exciplex characteristics is arranged closer to the cathode, the lifetime of the OLED increases.
[0377] Furthermore, compared with the OLEDs of Examples 6 and 8 in which the blue light-emitting layer with delayed fluorescence characteristics and the blue light-emitting layer with exciplex characteristics have different thicknesses, the lifetime of the OLED of Example 7 in which the blue light-emitting layer with delayed fluorescence characteristics and the blue light-emitting layer with exciplex characteristics have the same thickness is further improved.

[0645] Therefore, the lifetimes of the OLED D4 and the organic light-emitting display device 100 of the present disclosure are increased.
[0646] Figure 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an organic light-emitting display device according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0647] As Figure 8 shown, the organic light-emitting display device 600 includes: a first substrate 610 in which a red pixel region RP, a green pixel region GP, and a blue pixel region BP are defined; a second substrate 670 facing the first substrate 610; an OLED D positioned between the first substrate 610 and the second substrate 670 and providing blue light emission; and a color conversion layer 680 between the OLED D and the second substrate 670.
[0648] In some embodiments, a color filter may be formed between the second substrate 670 and each color conversion layer 680.
[0649] Each of the first substrate 610 and the second substrate 670 may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible substrate may be a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, or a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.
[0650] On the first substrate 610, TFTs Tr corresponding to each of the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP are formed, and a planarization layer 650 (which has a drain contact hole 652 exposing an electrode (e.g., a drain electrode) of the TFT Tr) is formed to cover the TFT Tr.
[0651] An OLED D including a first electrode 210, an organic light-emitting layer 220, and a second electrode 230 is formed on a planarization layer 650. In this case, the first electrode 210 may be connected to the drain electrode of the TFT Tr through a drain contact hole 652.
[0652] One of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 may be an anode, and the other of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 may be a cathode. One of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 may be a reflective electrode, and the other of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 may be a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode.
[0653] In a top-emission type OLED D, the first electrode 210 may be a reflective electrode and may have a structure of ITO / Ag / ITO, and the second electrode may be a transparent electrode and may be formed of Mg:Ag with a weight ratio of 1:9. In a bottom-emission type OLED D, the first electrode 210 may be a transparent electrode and may be formed of ITO, and the second electrode may be a reflective electrode and may be formed of Al.
[0654] A bank layer 666 is formed on the planarization layer 650 to cover the edge of the first electrode 210. That is, the bank layer 666 is positioned at the boundary of each of the red pixel region, the green pixel region, and the blue pixel region and exposes the center of the first electrode 210 in each of the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP.
[0655] The OLED D emits blue light and may have Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 the structure shown in. That is, the OLED D is formed in each of the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP and provides blue light.
[0656] For example, referring to Figure 3 , the organic light-emitting layer 220 of the OLED D includes a blue EML 240, and the blue EML 240 includes a first blue light-emitting layer 250 and a second blue light-emitting layer 260. The first blue light-emitting layer 250 contains a first p-type host 252, a first n-type host 254, and a first phosphorescent dopant 256, and the second blue light-emitting layer 260 contains a second p-type host 262, a second n-type host 264, and a second phosphorescent dopant 266.
[0657] The first p-type host 252 in the first blue light-emitting layer 250 and the second p-type host 262 in the second blue light-emitting layer 260 are each a compound represented by Formula 1 and are independently selected from the compounds in Formula 2. One of the first n-type host 254 in the first blue light-emitting layer 250 and the second n-type host 264 in the second blue light-emitting layer 260 is a compound represented by Formula 3 and is selected from the compounds in Formula 4. The other of the first n-type host 254 in the first blue light-emitting layer 250 and the second n-type host 264 in the second blue light-emitting layer 260 is a compound represented by Formula 5 and is selected from the compounds in Formula 6. The first phosphorescent dopant 256 and the second phosphorescent dopant 266 are each represented by Formula 7 and are independently selected from the compounds in Formula 8.
[0658] Since the OLED D emits blue light in each of the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP, the organic light-emitting layer 220 can be integrally formed as a common layer in the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP without separation. The bank layer 666 can be formed to prevent current leakage at the edge of the first electrode 210 and can be omitted.
[0659] The color conversion layer 680 includes a first color conversion layer 682 corresponding to the red pixel region RP and a second color conversion layer 684 corresponding to the green pixel region GP. For example, the color conversion layer 680 may include an inorganic color conversion material such as quantum dots. There is no color conversion layer in the blue pixel region BP so that the OLED D in the blue pixel region BP can directly face the second substrate 670.
[0660] The blue light from the OLED D is converted into red light by the first color conversion layer 682 in the red pixel region RP, and the blue light from the OLED D is converted into green light by the second color conversion layer 684 in the green pixel region GP.
[0661] Therefore, the organic light-emitting display device 600 can display a full-color image.
[0662] When the light from the OLED D passes through the first substrate 610 to display an image, the color conversion layer 680 may be disposed between the OLED D and the first substrate 610.
[0663] Figure 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an organic light-emitting display device according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0664] As Figure 9As shown, the organic light-emitting display device 700 includes: a first substrate 710 in which a red pixel region RP, a green pixel region GP, and a blue pixel region BP are defined; a second substrate 770 facing the first substrate 710; an OLED D positioned between the first substrate 710 and the second substrate 770 and providing white light emission; and a color filter layer 780 between the OLED D and the second substrate 770.
[0665] Each of the first substrate 710 and the second substrate 770 may be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. For example, the flexible substrate may be a polyimide (PI) substrate, a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, or a polycarbonate (PC) substrate.
[0666] A buffer layer 720 is formed on the first substrate 710, and a TFT Tr corresponding to each of the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP is formed on the buffer layer 720. The buffer layer 720 may be omitted.
[0667] A semiconductor layer 722 is formed on the buffer layer 720. The semiconductor layer 722 may include an oxide semiconductor material or polysilicon.
[0668] A gate insulating layer 724 is formed on the semiconductor layer 722. The gate insulating layer 724 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
[0669] A gate electrode 730 formed of a conductive material (e.g., metal) is formed on the gate insulating layer 724 corresponding to the center of the semiconductor layer 722.
[0670] An interlayer insulating layer 732 formed of an insulating material is formed on the gate electrode 730. The interlayer insulating layer 732 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material (e.g., silicon oxide or silicon nitride) or an organic insulating material (e.g., benzocyclobutene or photoacrylic).
[0671] The interlayer insulating layer 732 includes a first contact hole 734 and a second contact hole 736 that expose both sides of the semiconductor layer 722. The first contact hole 734 and the second contact hole 736 are positioned on both sides of the gate electrode 730 and spaced apart from the gate electrode 730.
[0672] A source electrode 740 and a drain electrode 742 formed of a conductive material (e.g., metal) are formed on the interlayer insulating layer 732.
[0673] The source electrode 740 and the drain electrode 742 are spaced apart from each other with respect to the gate electrode 730, and contact both sides of the semiconductor layer 722 through the first contact hole 734 and the second contact hole 736, respectively.
[0674] The semiconductor layer 722, the gate electrode 730, the source electrode 740, and the drain electrode 742 constitute the TFT Tr. The TFT Tr serves as a driving element. That is, the TFT Tr can correspond to the driving TFT Td of ( Figure 1 ).
[0675] In some embodiments, the gate line and the data line cross each other to define a pixel region, and the switching TFT is formed to be connected to the gate line and the data line. The switching TFT is connected to the TFT Tr that serves as a driving element.
[0676] In addition, a power supply line and a storage capacitor can be formed. The power supply line can be formed to be parallel to and spaced apart from one of the gate line and the data line. The storage capacitor is used to hold the voltage of the gate electrode of the TFT Tr in one frame.
[0677] A planarization layer 750 is formed to cover the TFT Tr. The planarization layer 750 includes a drain contact hole 752 that exposes the drain electrode 742 of the TFT Tr.
[0678] The first electrode 810 connected to the drain electrode 742 of the TFT Tr through the drain contact hole 752 is separately formed in each pixel region and formed on the planarization layer 750. The first electrode 810 can be an anode and can be formed of a conductive material having a relatively high work function. For example, the first electrode 810 can include a transparent conductive oxide layer and a reflective layer formed of a transparent conductive oxide (TCO).
[0679] For example, the transparent conductive oxide material layer of the first electrode 810 can be formed of one of the following: indium-tin oxide (ITO), indium-zinc oxide (IZO), indium-tin-zinc oxide (ITZO), tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium-copper oxide (ICO), and aluminum-zinc oxide (Al:ZnO, AZO).
[0680] For example, the reflective layer can be formed of one of the following: silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), copper (Cu), indium (In), and an alloy of one of neodymium (Nd) and Ag, and an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy. For example, the first electrode 210 can have a bilayer structure of Ag / ITO or APC / ITO or a trilayer structure of ITO / Ag / ITO or ITO / APC / ITO.
[0681] On the planarization layer 750, a bank layer 766 is formed to cover the edges of the first electrode 810. That is, the bank layer 766 is positioned at the boundary of the pixel region and exposes the center of the first electrode 810 in the pixel region. Since the OLED D emits blue light in each of the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP, the organic light-emitting layer 820 can be integrally formed as a common layer in the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP without separation. The bank layer 766 can be formed to prevent current leakage at the edges of the first electrode 810, and it can be omitted.
[0682] An organic light-emitting layer 820 is formed on the first electrode 810.
[0683] Above the first substrate 710 in which the organic light-emitting layer 820 is formed, a second electrode 830 is formed. The second electrode 830 is disposed above the entire surface of the display device and can be formed of a conductive material having a relatively low work function to be used as a cathode. For example, the second electrode 830 can be formed of Al, Mg, Ca, Ag, or an alloy thereof such as Mg:Ag.
[0684] In the organic light-emitting display device 700, since the light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer 820 is incident on the color filter layer 780 through the second electrode 830, the second electrode 830 has a thin profile for light transmission.
[0685] The first electrode 810, the organic light-emitting layer 820, and the second electrode 830 constitute the OLED D.
[0686] The color filter layer 780 is positioned above the OLED D and includes a red color filter 782, a green color filter 784, and a blue color filter 786 corresponding to the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP, respectively. The red color filter 782 contains at least one of a red dye and a red pigment, the green color filter 784 contains at least one of a green dye and a green pigment, and the blue color filter 786 contains at least one of a blue dye and a blue pigment.
[0687] The color filter layer 780 can be attached to the OLED D using an adhesive layer. Alternatively, the color filter layer 780 can be directly formed on the OLED D. When a encapsulation layer (or encapsulation film) is formed to cover the OLED D, the color filter layer 780 can be formed on the encapsulation layer.
[0688] An encapsulation layer (or encapsulation film) can be formed to prevent moisture from penetrating into the OLED D. For example, the encapsulation film can include a first inorganic insulating layer, an organic insulating layer, and a second inorganic insulating layer stacked in sequence, but is not limited thereto. The encapsulation film can be omitted.
[0689] A polarizing plate for reducing ambient light reflection can be provided above the outside of the second substrate 770 of the top-emitting type OLED D. For example, the polarizing plate can be a circular polarizing plate.
[0690] In Figure 9 the OLED D, the first electrode 810 and the second electrode 830 are a reflective electrode and a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode, respectively, and the color filter layer 780 is provided above the OLED D.
[0691] Alternatively, the first electrode 810 and the second electrode 830 can be a transparent (or semi-transparent) electrode and a reflective electrode, respectively, and the color filter layer 780 can be provided between the OLED D and the first substrate 710. In this case, the first electrode 810 can have a single-layer structure of a transparent conductive oxide layer.
[0692] A color conversion layer can be formed between the OLED D and the color filter layer 780. The color conversion layer can include a red color conversion layer, a green color conversion layer, and a blue color conversion layer corresponding to a red pixel region RP, a green pixel region GP, and a blue pixel region BP, respectively. The white light from the OLED D is converted into red light, green light, and blue light through the red color conversion layer, the green color conversion layer, and the blue color conversion layer, respectively.
[0693] The color conversion layer can be included instead of the color filter layer 780.
[0694] As described above, in the organic light-emitting display device 700, the OLED D in the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP emits white light, and the white light from the organic light-emitting diode D passes through the red color filter 782, the green color filter 784, and the blue color filter 786. As a result, red light, green light, and blue light are provided by the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP, respectively.
[0695] In Figure 9 the OLED D that emits white light is used for a display device. Alternatively, the OLED D can be formed on the entire surface of the substrate without at least one of a driving element and a color filter layer for a lighting device. A display device and a lighting device each including the OLED D of the present disclosure can be referred to as an organic light-emitting device.
[0696] Figure 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an OLED according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0697] As Figure 10As shown, the OLED D5 includes a first electrode 810 and a second electrode 830 facing each other, and an organic light-emitting layer 820 therebetween. The organic light-emitting layer 820 includes a first light-emitting portion ST1, a second light-emitting portion ST2, and a third light-emitting portion ST3. The first light-emitting portion ST1 includes a first EML (e.g., a first blue EML) 910, the second light-emitting portion ST2 includes a second EML (e.g., a second blue EML) 940, and the third light-emitting portion ST3 includes a third EML 970. The organic light-emitting layer 820 may further include a first CGL 980 between the first light-emitting portion ST1 and the third light-emitting portion ST3 and a second CGL 990 between the second light-emitting portion ST2 and the third light-emitting portion ST3. The top-emission type OLED D5 may further include a cover layer on the second electrode 830 to improve light extraction efficiency.
[0698] The organic light-emitting display device 700 may include a red pixel region RP, a green pixel region GP, and a blue pixel region BP, and the OLED D5 may be positioned in the red pixel region RP, the green pixel region GP, and the blue pixel region BP and emit white light.
[0699] One of the first electrode 810 and the second electrode 830 may be an anode, and the other of the first electrode 810 and the second electrode 830 may be a cathode.

[0703] In addition, the first light-emitting portion ST1 may further include a HIL 912 between the first electrode 810 and the first HTL 914.

[0706] In addition, the second light-emitting unit ST2 may further include an EIL 946 between the second electrode 830 and the second ETL 944.
[0707] In addition, the second light-emitting unit ST2 may further include at least one of a second EBL between the second HTL 942 and the second EML 940 and a second HBL between the second EML 940 and the second ETL 944.
[0708] In the third light-emitting unit ST3, the third EML 970 may include a red EML 970a, a yellow-green EML 970c, and a green EML 970b. In this case, the yellow-green EML 970c is disposed between the red EML 970a and the green EML 970b. Alternatively, the yellow-green EML 970c may be omitted, and the third EML 970 may have a double-layer structure including the red EML 970a and the green EML 970b.
[0709] The red EML 970a includes a red host and a red dopant, the green EML 970b includes a green host and a green dopant, and the yellow-green EML 970c includes a yellow-green host and a yellow-green dopant.
