Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of light-emitting devices, and in particular to an ink and a light-emitting device. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are a new type of optoelectronic device based on organic semiconductor materials, possessing advantages such as self-illumination, low power consumption, high contrast, wide viewing angle, and fast response speed. The development history of OLEDs can be divided into three stages: the first generation is based on traditional fluorescent materials, whose efficiency is limited by spin statistics, utilizing only 25% of singlet excitons; the second generation is based on blue phosphorescent OLEDs using heavy metal complexes, which can utilize 100% of triplet excitons, but the stability of blue phosphorescent materials is poor; the third generation is based on novel fluorescent materials, which can achieve the conversion of triplet excitons to singlet excitons through different mechanisms, improving efficiency and stability.
[0003] However, the performance of OLEDs is still constrained by several factors, one of which is the crystallinity of organic semiconductor materials. Crystalline organic semiconductor materials possess high carrier mobility and fluorescence quantum efficiency, which can improve the electroluminescence efficiency and brightness of OLEDs. In recent years, a new type of OLED device has emerged: crystalline organic light-emitting diodes (C-OLEDs). C-OLEDs utilize crystalline organic semiconductor materials as the light-emitting layer. The high crystallinity and high fluorescence quantum efficiency of the light-emitting layer can improve the electroluminescence efficiency and brightness of C-OLEDs. Furthermore, due to the good thermal stability and oxidation resistance of crystalline organic semiconductor materials, the stability and lifespan of C-OLEDs can be improved. However, current C-OLED fabrication methods still have some shortcomings, such as the need for special equipment or processes to achieve the crystallization of crystalline organic semiconductor materials or control their orientation, making the process difficult.
