In this regard, embodiments may take different forms and should not be construed as limited to the description set forth herein. Accordingly, embodiments are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings to explain aspects of this description.

For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, a first component may be referred to as a second component, and similarly, a second component may be referred to as a first component. Unless otherwise indicated, singular terms may include plural forms.
[0062] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, “a,” “an,” “the,” and “at least one” do not indicate a limitation of quantity and are intended to include both the singular and the plural unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, “element” has the same meaning as “at least one element” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “At least one” should not be construed as limited to “a” or “an.” “Or” means “and / or.” As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated enumerated items. It will be further understood that, when used in this specification, the terms “comprising” and / or “including” or “containing” and / or “including” indicate the presence of the described features, areas, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, areas, integers, steps, operations, elements, or components.
[0063] As used herein, the terms “about” or “approximately” include a stated value and include a range of appropriate deviations from a particular value determined by a person skilled in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the error associated with the measurement of the particular quantity.

It will be understood that, in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, the element described as “below” or “under” other elements or features will then be oriented “above” other elements or features. Thus, the term “below” can encompass both the orientations above and below. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or otherwise), and the spatial relative descriptors used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0066] The embodiments described herein are illustrated with reference cross-sections, which are illustrative of exemplary embodiments. Therefore, variations in the characteristics of the illustrated sections are expected, for example, due to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Consequently, the embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the specific shapes of the regions as illustrated herein, but should include, for example, deviations in shape caused by manufacturing processes. For instance, regions illustrated or described as flat may generally have rough and / or non-linear characteristics. Furthermore, the sharp corners of the illustrated sections may be rounded. Therefore, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate precise shapes of the regions, nor are they intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0067] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

It should be understood that unless the relevant context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form of the noun corresponding to an item may include one or more things.
[0069] It should be understood that if an element (e.g., the first element) is referred to as "linked" to another element (e.g., the second element), "linked to" another element (e.g., the second element), "connected" to another element (e.g., the second element), "connected to" another element (e.g., the second element), "connected" to another element (e.g., the second element), or "connected to" another element (e.g., the second element), regardless of whether the terms "operably" or "communically" are used, this means that the element can be connected to the other element directly (e.g., wired), wirelessly, or via a third element.
[0070] When organic materials included in an emitter layer disposed between two electrodes have dipoles and are therefore aligned in a specific direction, the electric field generated by the dipoles can induce a surface potential within the emitter layer. In examples where the dipoles are aligned in the direction pointing towards the two electrodes, the emitter layer may exhibit giant surface potential (GSP) characteristics. GSP can be calculated using known methods (such as linear fitting) from the variation of the emitter layer's surface potential with thickness. GSP can be determined by the structure of the organic materials, the composition of the organic materials, and the deposition conditions of the emitter layer. Although the surface potential of the emitter layer can vary with its thickness, the GSP of the emitter layer is minimally affected by thickness and can remain essentially constant. In light-emitting devices, the GSP of the emitter layer can be positive when it is induced to be negatively charged in the anode direction and positively charged in the cathode direction. In some aspects, the GSP of the emitter layer can be negative when it is induced to be positively charged in the anode direction and negatively charged in the cathode direction. The negatively charged portion can have a relatively increased energy level due to electron repulsion, while the positively charged portion can have a relatively decreased energy level.
[0071] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the movement of holes and electrons in a light-emitting device and the energy levels of the emitting layer and its adjacent layers. In an exemplary embodiment, the layer adjacent to the emitting layer EML in the anode direction relative to the emitting layer EML is a hole transport layer (HTL), and the layer adjacent to the emitting layer EML in the cathode direction relative to the emitting layer EML is an electron transport layer (ETL). The hole transport layer HTL is a non-limiting example of a layer adjacent to the emitting layer EML in the hole transport region, and an electron blocking layer may be further arranged between the hole transport layer HTL and the emitting layer EML. The electron transport layer ETL is a non-limiting example of a layer adjacent to the emitting layer EML in the electron transport region, and a hole blocking layer may be further arranged between the electron transport layer ETL and the emitting layer EML.
[0072] refer to Figure 1 Holes can move from the hole transport layer (HTL) to the emitter layer (EML), and electrons can move from the electron transport layer (ETL) to the emitter layer (EML). Holes and electrons can recombine in the emitter layer (EML) to generate excitons, and excitons can transition from the excited state to the ground state, thereby generating light in the emitter layer (EML).
[0073] Holes can be transported along the first hole transport path HT1 to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the host in the emitter layer EML, or along the second hole transport path HT2 to the HOMO of the dopant in the emitter layer EML.
[0074] Electrons can be transported along the first electron transport path ET1 to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the host in the emitter layer EML, or along the second electron transport path ET2 to the LUMO of the dopant in the emitter layer EML.
[0075] For example, blue fluorescent dopants tend to be electron-decomposed, and therefore require the induction of electrons along the first electron transport path ET1. Therefore, blue fluorescent dopants can be selected from materials with shallow LUMO energy levels.
[0076] In some cases, dopants need to maintain their maximum emission wavelength at blue fluorescence, which results in a shallower HOMO level for the blue fluorescent dopant. Accordingly, in blue fluorescent emitting devices, holes are induced to travel along the second hole transport path HT2 instead of the first hole transport path HT1, causing holes to tend to be trapped within the emitter layer EML.
[0077] Figure 2 To explain Figure 1 A diagram of the emission region and the energy levels of the emission layer and its adjacent layers.
[0078] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As strong hole trapping is induced within the emitter layer (EML), a large portion of the emitter zone (EZ) lies near the interface between the hole transport layer (HTL) and the emitter layer (EML), allowing the emitter zone (EZ) to narrow. With a narrower emitter zone (EZ), the concentration of triplet excitons increases, thereby accelerating triplet-polaron quenching (TPQ) or triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). This leads to a degradation in the lifetime of the blue fluorescence emitting device.
[0079] Figure 3 A diagram illustrating the emission region EZ and the energy levels of the emission layer and its adjacent layers when the light-emitting device includes two emission layers.
[0080] refer to Figure 3 The emitter layer EML comprises a first emitter layer EML1 adjacent to the hole transport layer HTL and a second emitter layer EML2 adjacent to the electron transport layer ETL. Even when the second emitter layer EML2, made of the same material as the first emitter layer EML1, is used in a blue fluorescent emitting device, a large portion of the emitter region EZ can be located at the interface between the hole transport layer HTL and the first emitter layer EML1 due to strong hole trapping at the interface between the hole transport layer HTL and the emitter layer EML, resulting in a narrow emitter region EZ.
[0081] Figure 4 A diagram illustrating the energy levels and emission regions EZ of the emitting layer and its adjacent layers, as well as the movement of holes, in a light-emitting device according to an embodiment.
[0082] refer to Figure 4The second emitter layer EML2 has a positive GSP, which allows negative charges to be induced in the anode direction and positive charges to be induced in the cathode direction. The negatively charged portion of the second emitter layer EML2 and a portion of the first emitter layer EML1 adjacent thereto may have relatively increased energy levels, and the positively charged portion of the second emitter layer EML2 and a portion of the first emitter layer EML1 relatively far from the second emitter layer EML2 may have relatively decreased energy levels.
[0083] Correspondingly, holes moving from the hole transport layer HTL to the emitter layer EML can travel relatively far from the interface between the hole transport layer HTL and the emitter layer EML. Therefore, even if hole trapping is induced at the interface between the hole transport layer HTL and the first emitter layer EML1 and / or the interface between the first emitter layer EML1 and the second emitter layer EML2 due to the shallow HOMO energy level of the blue fluorescent dopant, the emission region EZ within the emitter layer EML will be relatively wide. This implementation of a wide emission region EZ reduces the concentration of triplet excitons, and due to the reduced decay of triplet excitons, the blue fluorescent emitting device can have an improved lifetime.
[0084] Figure 5 A diagram illustrating the energy levels and emission regions (EZ) of the emitting layer and its adjacent layers, as well as the movement of holes and electrons, in a light-emitting device including a single-layer emitting layer with a positive GSP.
[0085] refer to Figure 5 The monolayer emitter layer (EML) has a positive gas-spike ratio (GSP), which allows negative charges to be induced in the anode direction and positive charges to be induced in the cathode direction. The negatively charged portion of the emitter layer (EML) and a portion of the adjacent hole transport layer (HTL) can have relatively increased energy levels, while the positively charged portion of the emitter layer (EML) and a portion of the adjacent electron transport layer (ETL) can have relatively decreased energy levels.
[0086] As the HOMO level of the dopant becomes deeper toward the interface between the emitter layer (EML) and the electron transport layer (ETL), holes trapped at the interface between the hole transport layer (HTL) and the emitter layer (EML) find it more difficult to move toward the interface between the emitter layer (EML) and the electron transport layer (ETL). Therefore, even when using a single-layer emitter layer (EML) with positive GSP, the emitter region (EZ) will be narrow.
[0087] Figure 6 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the light-emitting device according to an embodiment.
[0088] refer to Figure 6The light-emitting device 11 includes: a first electrode 110; a second electrode 150 facing the first electrode 110; and an interlayer between the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 150, including a first emitting layer 131 and a second emitting layer 132 stacked sequentially. As used herein, the term "interlayer" refers to a single layer and / or multiple layers disposed between the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 150 of the light-emitting device 11. The interlayer may further include a hole transport region 120 disposed between the first electrode 110 and the first emitting layer 131. The interlayer may further include an electron transport region 140 disposed between the second emitting layer 132 and the second electrode 150.
[0089] Hole transport region 120, first emission layer 131, second emission layer 132, and electron transport region 140 may collectively be referred to as a stack ST. In an example where the interlayer includes multiple stack STs, the light-emitting device 11 may be a series-connected light-emitting device. The multiple stack STs may be referred to as a first stack and a second stack, etc., and the series-connected light-emitting device may further include a charge generation layer (CGL) disposed between the multiple STs. Although Figure 6 The text describes a stacked volume ST, but will refer to... Figure 7 Describe a series-connected light-emitting device.
[0090] Figure 7 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a light-emitting device according to another embodiment.
[0091] refer to Figure 7 The light-emitting device 12 includes: a first electrode 110; a second electrode 150 facing the first electrode 110; and an interlayer between the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 150. The interlayer may include a plurality of stacked bodies ST. The plurality of stacked bodies ST may include a first stacked body ST1 and a second stacked body ST2. Although an embodiment in which the plurality of stacked bodies ST includes two stacked bodies ST has been described, the plurality of stacked bodies ST may include three stacked bodies ST, four stacked bodies ST, five stacked bodies ST, or six or more stacked bodies ST. The interlayer may further include a charge generation layer disposed between the first stacked body ST1 and the second stacked body ST2. Each of the first stacked body ST1 and the second stacked body ST2 may sequentially include a hole transport region, an emission layer, and an electron transport region from the direction near the first electrode 110. In an embodiment, the first stacked body ST1 may be connected to a reference... Figure 6 The described stack STs are substantially the same. That is, the first stack ST1 may have a two-layer emitter layer structure. In one or more embodiments, the second stack ST2 may be the same as described by reference. Figure 6 The described stack ST is substantially the same. That is, the second stack ST2 may have a two-layer emitter layer structure. In one or more embodiments, each of the first stack ST1 and the second stack ST2 may be similar to the referenced one. Figure 6The described stacks ST are essentially the same. That is, each of the first stack ST1 and the second stack ST2 may have a two-layer emitter structure. Details will be provided below. Figure 6 A more detailed description.
[0092] On one hand, a light-emitting device is provided, comprising: a first electrode; a second electrode facing the first electrode; and an interlayer between the first electrode and the second electrode, comprising a first emitting layer and a second emitting layer stacked sequentially, wherein the first emitting layer and the second emitting layer satisfy condition 1:
[0093] Condition 1
[0094] GSP1 < 10mV / nm ≤ GSP2,
[0095] Among them, in condition 1,
[0096] GSP1 is the giant surface potential of the first emitter layer, and
[0097] GSP2 represents the giant surface potential of the second emitter layer.
[0098] The materials used to form the first and second emitting layers are not particularly limited as long as the light-emitting device according to the embodiment satisfies condition 1.
[0099] Condition 1 may include Condition 1A and Condition 1B:
[0100] Condition 1A
[0101] GSP1 < 10mV / nm,
[0102] Condition 1B
[0103] 10mV / nm≤GSP2.
[0104] In condition 1A, GSP1 is the giant surface potential of the first emitter layer, and
[0105] In condition 1B, GSP2 is the giant surface potential of the second emitter layer.
[0106] The second emitting layer not only has positive GSP, but also satisfies condition 1B, which effectively widens the emitting area and effectively improves the lifespan of the light-emitting device.
[0107] For reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As described, by making the first emitting layer satisfy condition 1A, the emitting area can be effectively widened and the lifespan of the light-emitting device can be effectively improved.
[0108] Therefore, since the light-emitting device according to the embodiment satisfies both conditions 1A and 1B, it can have an effectively improved lifespan.

The first emitting layer may be disposed between the first electrode and the second emitting layer, and the second emitting layer may be disposed between the first emitting layer and the second electrode. The first electrode may be an anode, and the second electrode may be a cathode.
[0110] In some embodiments, the first emitting layer and the second emitting layer may be in direct contact with each other. That is, in embodiments where the light-emitting device is a series light-emitting device, the first emitting layer is an emitting layer located in the first stack, and the second emitting layer is an emitting layer located in the second stack instead of the first stack.
[0111] In one embodiment, the interlayer may include a first stack adjacent to the first electrode and a second stack adjacent to the second electrode, and at least one of the first and second stacks may include a first emission layer and a second emission layer satisfying condition 1. In another embodiment, the first stack may include both a first emission layer and a second emission layer. In one or more embodiments, the second stack may include both a first emission layer and a second emission layer. In one or more embodiments, the first stack may include emission layers (1a) and (2a) stacked sequentially starting from the first electrode, and the second stack may include emission layers (1b) and (2b) stacked sequentially starting from the first electrode, wherein emission layers (1a) and (2a) may satisfy condition 1-a, and emission layers (1b) and (2b) may satisfy condition 1-b.

[0624] Comparative Example 1 (Single-layer emitter)
[0625] The glass substrate (anode) with ITO 300Å / Ag 50Å / ITO 300Å deposited on it was cut into 50mm × 50mm × 0.7mm pieces, ultrasonically treated with isopropanol and pure water for 5 minutes each, and then cleaned by exposure to ultraviolet light and ozone for 30 minutes. The resulting glass substrate was placed in a vacuum deposition apparatus.
[0626] HAT-CN was vacuum deposited on a glass substrate to form a hole injection layer with a thickness of 150 Å. Next, NPB, as a hole transport compound, was vacuum deposited to form a hole transport layer with a thickness of 1100 Å.
[0627] EBL1 was vacuum deposited on the hole transport layer to form an electron blocking layer with a thickness of 50 Å.
[0628] BH11 as the host and BD1 as the dopant were deposited on the electron blocking layer to form an emitter layer with a thickness of 20 nm (host weight: dopant weight = 9.8:0.2).
[0629] TPM-TAZ and Liq were deposited on the emitter layer in a 5:5 weight ratio to form an electron transport layer with a thickness of 300 Å.
[0630] Yb was vacuum deposited onto the electron transport layer to a thickness of 10 Å, and AgMg was continuously vacuum deposited to a thickness of 100 Å (5 wt% Mg doping) to form the cathode. Then, CP1 was deposited on the cathode to form a capping layer with a thickness of 700 Å, thus completing the fabrication of the light-emitting device.
[0631]
[0632]
[0633] Comparative Examples 2 to 7
[0634] The light-emitting device was manufactured in essentially the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that the host and dopant described in Table 1 were used.
[0635] Comparative Examples 8 to 18 and Examples 1 to 7 (two-layer emission layers)
[0636] The light-emitting device was manufactured in essentially the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that instead of forming a single emission layer with a thickness of 20 nm, a first emission layer with a thickness of 10 nm and a second emission layer with a thickness of 10 nm were formed on the first emission layer, wherein each of the first emission layer and the second emission layer used the host and dopant as illustrated in Table 2.
[0637] Evaluation Example 1 (Giant Surface Potential Measurement)
[0638] Giant surface potential is measured using methods known in the art. For example, giant surface potential can be measured in two ways. The giant surface potentials of the light-emitting devices of comparative examples and embodiments are illustrated in Tables 1 and 2.

Here, a first sample with a deposition thickness of 5 nm, a second sample with a deposition thickness of 10 nm, a third sample with a deposition thickness of 12 nm, and a fourth sample with a deposition thickness of 20 nm were prepared. Next, a Kelvin probe was brought close to each sample to 120 μm, and the surface potential was measured while the piezoelectric actuator vibrated at 85 Hz under non-contact conditions. Here, the measurement values were calibrated based on an Au film with a work function of 5.2 eV, and the surface potential was measured for multiple samples of different thicknesses, making it possible to measure the giant surface potential value (including the sign).
[0641] 2) Impedance spectroscopy or displacement current measurement (DCM)
[0642] After depositing a nonpolar organic material (e.g., α-NPD) to a thickness of 100 nm, the compound to be measured is deposited on it according to the thickness (e.g., 10 nm to 100 nm) to confirm the change in the threshold voltage of the capacitance (or displacement current). The change in threshold voltage relative to the change in thickness is the giant surface potential value (including the sign).
[0643] Evaluation Example 2 (Characteristics of Light-Emitting Device)
[0644] To evaluate the characteristics of the light-emitting devices in the comparative examples and embodiments, the driving voltage, color purity (CIEy emission color coordinates), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and lifetime at 1000 nits were measured using a source meter (Keithley Instrument, 2400 series) and a luminance meter PR650, and the results are illustrated in Tables 1 and 2.
[0645] Lifetime is measured as the number of hours (T) until a given light-emitting device reaches 95% of its initial brightness. 95 ,hr), and expressed as a relative value based on the lifetime of Comparative Example 1.

[0648]
[0649]
[0650] Referring to Table 1, it was confirmed that the GSP of the emission layer changed when the host and / or dopant included in the emission layer were changed. It was confirmed that the light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 7, which included a monolayer emission layer, had shorter lifetimes than the light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 7 described herein. Specifically, even when the GSP of the monolayer emission layer was 10 mV / nm or greater, the light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 2 to 7, which included a monolayer emission layer, were also confirmed to have lifetimes similar to or even lower than those of the light-emitting device of Comparative Example 1, which had a GSP of less than 10 mV / nm with a monolayer emission layer.

[0652]
[0653]
[0654]
[0655]
[0656]
[0657]
[0658] Referring to Table 2, it was confirmed that even though the emitting layer has a two-layer structure, the light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 8 to 16, which have a GSP2 of less than 10 mV / nm in the second emitting layer, have similar or even lower lifetimes to the light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 7 as explained in Table 1.
[0659] The light-emitting device of Comparative Example 17, in which the first emitting layer has a GSP1 of 10 mV / nm or greater and the second emitting layer has a GSP2 of less than 10 mV / nm, also has a similar or even lower lifetime to the light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 16 described herein.
[0660] It was confirmed that even if the GSP2 of the second emitting layer is 10 mV / nm or greater, the light-emitting device of Comparative Example 18, which has a GSP1 of 10 mV / nm or greater in the first emitting layer, has a similar or even lower lifetime to the light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 17 described herein.
[0661] The light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 7, which meet condition 1, are confirmed to have driving voltage, emission color coordinates, and EQE levels similar to those of the light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 18 described herein, but with effectively improved lifetime. Referring to the examples and comparative examples above, light-emitting devices in which the second emitting layer has a GSP2 of 10 mV / nm or greater and the first emitting layer has a GSP1 of less than 10 mV / nm are confirmed to have excellent lifetime.
[0662] According to one or more embodiments, a light-emitting device satisfying condition 1 may include two emission layers consisting of a first emission layer and a second emission layer, wherein the second emission layer may have a positive GSP2, and more specifically, a GSP2 of 10 mV / nm or greater. Accordingly, by preventing the emission region from being narrowly formed at the interface between the emission layer and the hole transport region, the emission region may be widely formed within the emission layer. The first emission layer may have a GSP1 of less than 10 mV / nm, thereby effectively and widely forming the emission region within the emission layer. In examples where the emission region is widely formed within the emission layer, degradation can be prevented, and thus a light-emitting device with a long lifetime can be provided.
