Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an active-matrix OLED display having a plurality of OLED pixels and a method for manufacturing at least one common layer. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Since Tang et al. demonstrated low operating voltage in 1987 (CW Tang et al. Appl. Phys. Lett. 51(12) 913(1987)), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have become promising candidates for realizing large-area displays. They consist of a series of thin layers of organic materials (typically 1 nm to 1 μm), which can be deposited, for example, by thermal vacuum evaporation or solution processing, and then electrical contacts are formed via metal layers. Organic electronic devices offer a wide variety of electronic or optoelectronic components, such as diodes, light-emitting diodes, photodiodes, and thin-film transistors (TFTs), which can compete with established components based on inorganic materials in terms of characteristics.

[0003] In the case of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), due to the externally applied voltage, the light-emitting diode generates and emits light by injecting charge carriers (electrons from one side and holes from the other side) from the contact into the adjacent organic layer, and then excitons (electron-hole pairs) and the radiative overlap of these excitons are formed in the active region.

[0004] The advantage of this organic component over conventional inorganic components (based on inorganic semiconductors, such as silicon or gallium arsenide) is that it can be used to produce large-area components, such as large display components (visual displays, screens) or lamps (for lighting applications). Organic materials are relatively cheaper than inorganic materials (consuming less material and energy). Furthermore, compared to inorganic materials, these materials can be deposited on flexible substrates due to their lower processing temperatures, thus opening up a range of new applications in display and lighting engineering. The basic structure of such a component includes an arrangement of one or more of the following layers: a carrier substrate; a hole injection (positive contact) base electrode, typically transparent; a hole injection layer (HIL); a hole transport layer (HTL); a light-emitting layer (EL); an electron transport layer (ETL); an electron injection layer (EIL); an electron injection (negative contact) cover electrode, typically a metal with a low work function; and encapsulation to exclude environmental influences.

[0005] Although the above represents the most typical case, several layers can usually be omitted (except for HTL and ETL), or one layer can combine multiple properties.

[0006] Document US 5,093,698 describes the use of doped charge carrier transport layers (p-type doping of HTL by a mixture of acceptor-like molecules and n-type doping of ETL by a mixture of donor-like molecules). In this sense, doping refers to incorporating a mixture of materials into a layer that increases the equilibrium charge carrier concentration in this layer compared to the intrinsic layer of one of the two relevant materials. This results in improved conductivity and better charge carrier injection from adjacent contact layers into this mixed layer. Charge carrier transport still occurs on the matrix molecules. According to US 5,093,698, the doped layer is used as an injection layer at the interface of the contact materials, with the luminescent layer located therebetween (or, when only one doped layer is used, adjacent to another contact). The increased equilibrium charge carrier density and associated band bending resulting from doping facilitate charge carrier injection. According to US 5,093,698, the energy levels of the organic layer (HOMO = highest occupied molecular orbital or highest valence band energy; LUMO = lowest unoccupied molecular orbital or lowest conduction band energy) should be obtained so that electrons in the ETL and holes in the HTL can be injected into the EL (emitter layer) without hindrance. This requires very high ionization energy of the HTL material and very low electron affinity of the ETL material.

[0007] For active-matrix OLED displays, so-called crosstalk between display pixels has always been a major problem. Pixel or color crosstalk refers to the erroneous mixing of photons of one color generated by a pixel with photons of another color scattered from a nearby pixel. For example, documents GB 2 492 400 A and WO 2002 / 015292 A2 provide measures for reducing color crosstalk in OLED devices. Furthermore, or as an alternative, electrical crosstalk may occur. In this case, for example, a drive current applied to one of the pixels may cause light to be emitted from another pixel that is nearby and provides the drive current to it. Both will negatively impact the performance of the display device (see Yamazaki et al., A.(2013), 33.2: Spatial Resolution Characteristics of Organic Light-emitting Diode Displays: A comparative Analysis of MTF for Handheld and Workstation Formats. SID Symposium Digest of Technical Papers, 44: 419-422. doi: 10.1002 / j.2168-0159.2013.tb06236.x).

[0008] In typical commercial active-matrix OLED displays, electrical pixel crosstalk can be caused by the use of redox p-doping in the hole transport layer (HTL) shared by multiple OLED pixels (in a sense, the shared HTL is electrically connected to the anode of the plurality of pixels present in the display). The use of redox p-type dopants increases charge carrier density by generating new charge carriers (holes) by transferring electrons from molecules of the dopant matrix to dopant molecules, which is beneficial for low operating voltage, high operating stability, and high yield. On the other hand, redox p-type doping increases the conductivity of the hole transport layer from less than 10⁻⁸ S / cm (typically less than 10⁻¹⁰ S / cm) without p-type dopants to greater than 10⁻⁶ S / cm (typically, the concentration of p-type dopants is between 1 and 5 wt.%). Therefore, redox-doped HTLs are typically responsible for any electrical pixel crosstalk in active-matrix displays, including HTLs shared by a plurality of pixels. If n-type doping is performed using redox n-type dopants, ETL may also exhibit high conductivity similar to redox doped HTL; however, due to the display layout with a common cathode, ETL does not cause electrical pixel crosstalk. [Summary of the Invention]

[0009] One objective is to provide improved technology for active-matrix OLED displays, particularly to reduce crosstalk between adjacent pixels of active-matrix OLED displays.

[0014] According to one embodiment, an active-matrix OLED display is provided, comprising a plurality of OLED pixels, wherein each pixel itself comprises an organic layer stack, and each layer in the organic layer stack can form a common semiconductor layer, wherein at least one first OLED pixel and a second OLED pixel comprise - an anode layer, - a common cathode layer, - at least one emitter layer, optionally a common emitter layer, - at least one organic layer stack disposed between the anode layer and the cathode layer, comprising - a plurality of semiconductor layers, and the plurality of semiconductor layers comprise at least two or more common semiconductor layers, wherein the plurality of semiconductor layers comprise - at least one first common semiconductor layer comprising at least one organic p-type dopant, - at least one first common semiconductor layer comprising at least one organic p-type dopant, - a common semiconductor layer extending over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or extending over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels, and wherein the first common semiconductor comprises at least one organic p-type dopant, and together with the second common semiconductor layer has ≥ A sheet resistance of 50 gigahertz per square ohm, wherein the sheet resistance of the common first semiconductor layer and the common second semiconductor layer are measured together separately, wherein for the sheet resistance measurement, the common second semiconductor layer is directly deposited on the first common semiconductor layer, and the first common semiconductor layer is directly deposited on the measurement electrode (preferably, an ITO electrode).

[0015] One property of organic semiconductor devices is their conductivity. The conductivity of the layers in an organic semiconductor device can be significantly improved by using hole-implanting materials. Sheet resistance is measured, for example, by the so-called "transmission line method." In this method, a voltage is applied to the thin layer and the current flowing through it is measured. By taking into account the geometry of the contact points and the layer thickness of the sample, the sheet resistance and conductivity can be obtained separately.

[0016] The sheet resistance is determined by the transmission line method.

[0020] According to an embodiment, an active-matrix OLED display is provided, comprising a plurality of OLED pixels, wherein each pixel itself comprises an organic layer stack, and each layer in the organic layer stack can form a common semiconductor layer, wherein at least one first OLED pixel and a second OLED pixel comprise - an anode layer, - a common cathode layer, - at least one emitter layer, optionally a common emitter layer, - at least one organic layer stack disposed between the anode layer and the cathode layer, comprising - a plurality of semiconductor layers, and the plurality of semiconductor layers comprise at least two or more common semiconductor layers, wherein the plurality of semiconductor layers comprise - at least one first common semiconductor layer comprising at least one organic p-type dopant, - at least one second common semiconductor layer, - a common semiconductor layer extending over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels, and wherein the first common semiconductor layer comprises at least one organic p-type dopant, and together with the second common semiconductor layer has ≥ The sheet resistance is 50 gigahertz per square ohm, wherein the sheet resistance is determined by the transmission line method, wherein the sheet resistance of the common first semiconductor layer and the common second semiconductor layer are measured together separately, wherein for the sheet resistance measurement, the common second semiconductor layer is directly deposited on the first common semiconductor layer, and the first common semiconductor layer is directly deposited on the measuring electrode (preferably, an ITO electrode).

[0021] The term "together measured individually" refers to measuring the sheet resistance of each layer in the absence of other layers or common layers of the OLED display.

[0022] Therefore, the term "together measured individually" refers to measuring the combined sheet resistance of the respective common layers, where the common layers are stacked on top of each other without other layers or common layers of the OLED display.

[0023] For example, when the sheet resistance of the common first semiconductor layer and the common second semiconductor layer are measured together individually, the common first semiconductor layer and the common second semiconductor layer are stacked on top of each other and no other layers are present for the sheet resistance measurement.

[0024] In another example, when the sheet resistance of the common hole injection layer and the common second semiconductor layer are measured together separately, the sheet resistance measurement is performed with the common hole injection layer and the common second semiconductor layer stacked on top of each other and no other layers present.

[0025] In another example, when the sheet resistance of the common hole semiconductor layer and the common hole transport layer are measured together separately, the sheet resistance measurement is performed with the common hole injection layer and the common hole transport layer stacked on top of each other and no other layers present.

[0026] In another example, when the sheet resistance of the common first semiconductor layer, the common second semiconductor layer and the common third semiconductor layer are measured together individually, the common first semiconductor layer, the common second semiconductor layer and the common third semiconductor layer are stacked on top of each other and no other layers are present for the sheet resistance measurement.

[0027] In another example, when the sheet resistance of the common first semiconductor layer, the common second semiconductor layer, the common third semiconductor layer and the common emitter layer are measured together individually, the sheet resistance measurement is performed with the common first semiconductor layer, the common second semiconductor layer, the common third semiconductor layer and the common emitter layer stacked on top of each other and no other layers present.

[0028] In another example, when the sheet resistance of the common first semiconductor layer, common second semiconductor layer, common third semiconductor layer, and emitter layer are measured together individually, the sheet resistance measurement is performed with the common first semiconductor layer, common second semiconductor layer, common third semiconductor layer, and emitter layer stacked on top of each other and no other layers present. Transmission line method

[0029] The sheet resistance Rs is measured against a given stack of deposited layers on a test element group (see Figure 2), which consists of test elements called channels (providing a gap "l" between two highly conductive electrodes, and the width "w" of each electrode (see Figure 1)). To improve the noise level, a large "w" can be used, and the electrodes can be formed in a finger-like structure to reduce area requirements (see Figure 3). Reliable Rs calculations require at least three such channels with different channel lengths "l". Measurements are performed as follows:

[0030] The first voltage is scanned between -5V and +5V in steps of less than 1V, and the current is measured. The substrate temperature during this measurement is preferably 23 + / - 2°C. A linear fit with the current value on the x-axis and the voltage value on the y-axis is used, and the slope of the fit gives the channel resistance "R". This process is repeated for each channel "n", resulting in "Rn" of channel "n" having a gap "ln" and a width "w". For Rs calculation, the width "w" must remain constant across all channels. For reliable resistance values, the fit quality index R2 must be greater than 0.9.

[0031] In the second step, the resistance "Rn" is plotted for the channel with the gap "ln", and a linear fit is performed. The slope of this fit is multiplied by the channel width "w" to obtain the sheet resistance Rs of the deposited layer stack. This calculation eliminates the influence of contact resistance and series resistance in the measurement setup. The electrode gap should be close to the gap of the target application, such as 20 µm, 40 µm, or 60 µm. The channel width of the low conductivity layer can be 100,000 µm.

[0032] Measurements were performed on a glass substrate (Corning Eagle XG) with ITO electrodes. The substrate was wet-cleaned using a water-based surfactant solution and dried with nitrogen, then baked at 200°C in a nitrogen atmosphere for 120 minutes before being treated with nitrogen plasma. Before electrical measurements and after organic layer deposition, the sample was encapsulated with a desiccant-containing encapsulation glass cap.

[0033] The transmission line method is a commonly used method for measuring chip resistance, and is particularly described in: - Williams, Ralph (1990). Modern GaAs Processing Methods. Artech House. ISBN 0890063435. - Schroder, Dieter K. (2006). Semiconductor Material and Device Characterization. John Wiley & Sons. ISBN 0471739065. - Reeves, GK, IEEE Electron Device Letters (Volume: 3, Issue: 5, May 1982), pages 113-133 (https: / / ieeexplore.ieee.org / document / 1482607). Optimal chip resistance measurement.

[0034] If the contact resistance is much lower than the resistance of the channel region between the electrodes, a simplified sheet resistance measurement method can be used. A voltage V of 5V is applied to an electrode pair having, for example, a channel width w of 103500μm and a channel length l of 80μm, and the current I is measured using a Keithley SM2635 power supply measurement unit. The channel resistance R is calculated using the formula R=V / I. In the next step, the sheet resistance Rs is calculated using Rs=R*w / l. The sheet resistance is measured at 23+ / -2 °C. Using the 80µm channel current at 5V in Figure 6 as an example, we obtain R=5V / 1.33e.7A=3.76e7Ohm and Rs=R*w / l=3.76e7Ohm*103500µm / 80µm=48.6GOhm / sq. Alternative sheet resistance measurement: As an alternative, the sheet resistance can be measured as follows:

[0035] According to Figure 4, an ITO coated substrate with 90 nm ITO and a sheet resistance of 10 Ohm / sq is patterned using a finger structure. The 12 ITO finger structures on the two electrodes form a total of 23 conductive regions: n=23. The finger length we is 4.5 mm. Therefore, the total channel width is 103.5 mm. The channel length w varies in 20 µm increments between 20 and 80 µm. Electrode pairs with four different channel lengths are combined on a substrate with dimensions of 25 x 25 mm², as shown in Figure 5. An organic layer is deposited on the substrate, covering the complete finger pattern. On the substrate, a first common semiconductor layer comprises at least one organic p-type dopant with a thickness of 10 nm. For example, the first common semiconductor layer is a hole injection layer composed of a doped covalent matrix compound, suitable covalent matrix compounds are described in the specification, deposited by co-evaporation. The temperature range depends on the material and is limited by the vaporization temperature at the start of vaporization and the decomposition temperature. These values ​​are material parameters and vary for each material. They typically range between 50 °C and 500 °C, with most falling between 150 °C and 350 °C. For example, covalent matrix compound deposition is performed at a fixed rate of 1 Å / s and a evaporation source temperature of 272 °C. Organic p-type dopant sources are selected, for example, from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylenes, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, substituted or unsubstituted quinoids, and substituted or unsubstituted aromatic compounds including condensation rings. More preferably, the organic p-type dopant may be selected from substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylene compounds. Other suitable p-type dopants are described in the specification, for example, operating at 0.068 Å / s at 174 °C. On this layer, a second common semiconductor layer with a thickness of 128 nm is deposited at a deposition rate of 2 Å / s and a temperature of 280°C. This common semiconductor layer is, for example, a common hole transport layer or a common electron blocking layer, with the latter being preferred. The cavity pressure is 3e-7 mbar throughout the deposition process. However, as mentioned above, the evaporation temperature used depends on the vaporization initiation temperature and decomposition temperature. The evaporation temperature for organic materials depends on the material and is typically between 80 °C and 500 °C. After the organic layer deposition, the obtained substrate layer device is encapsulated in a nitrogen-filled glove box using a glass cover with an integrated desiccant to prevent sample degradation.

[0036] A voltage between -5V and +5V was applied in 0.5V steps across each electrode pair corresponding to a given channel length, and the current was measured. This was done using a Keithley SM2635 power supply measurement unit. Figure 6 shows an example of this measurement. The slope corresponding to each measurement for a given channel length was calculated to obtain the resistance Rn for that channel length. Rn was plotted over the corresponding channel length, the slope was calculated, and multiplied by a channel width of 103500 µm to obtain the measured sheet resistance Rs of the layer stack. In the given example, the slope was 470199 Ohm / µm multiplied by a channel width of 103500 µm. The result is a sheet resistance of 48.7 GOhm / square. The sheet resistance was measured at 23 °C and 1013 mbar. Common Layer

[0037] A common layer refers to a layer deposited over the entire display area via a large mask opening in a processing step and / or a layer consisting of several overlapping regions deposited in several successive steps, even if the overlapping layers are composed of different materials.

According to one embodiment, the first common semiconductor includes at least one organic p-type dopant, wherein the first common semiconductor is a hole injection layer. Organic p-type dopant

[0039] In this specification, unless otherwise defined, "organic p-type dopant" means an organic compound that can promote hole injection (i.e., preferably the injection of positive charge from the anode into the organic layer, particularly the hole transport layer), and wherein the organic compound can reduce the operating voltage (if present) at a certain current density.

[0040] Organic p-type dopants can provide hole injection from the anode to the hole transport matrix without substantially increasing the concentration of free charge carriers above the level corresponding to the conductivity observed in a pure matrix, or may increase the density of positive charge carriers in the hole transport material or hole transport layer when added to a semiconductor. Organic p-type dopants can be used alone in the layer or in combination with the hole transport material or hole transport layer.

[0041] According to one embodiment of an active-matrix OLED display, the organic p-type dopant may be selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylenes, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, and substituted or unsubstituted aromatic compounds comprising condensation rings, and more preferably, the organic p-type dopant is selected from substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylene compounds. More preferably, the organic p-type dopant is an organic redox p-type dopant.

[0206] Examples of compounds that can be used to form a common HIL include phthalocyanine compounds (preferably copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)), 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine (m-MTDATA), TDATA, 2T-NATA, polyaniline / dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (Pani / DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT / PSS), polyaniline / camphorsulfonic acid (Pani / CSA), and polyaniline / poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PANI / PSS).

[0207] The common HIL includes or is composed of p-type dopants, and the p-type dopants may be selected from, but are not limited to, tetrafluorotetracyanoquinone dimethyl ether (F4TCNQ), 2,2'-(perfluoronaphthalene-2,6-dimethylene)dimalonitrile or 2,2',2''-(cyclopropane-1,2,3-trimethylene)tris(2-(p-cyanotetrafluorophenyl)acetonitrile). The common HIL may be selected from hole transport covalent matrix compounds doped with p-type dopants. Typical examples of known doped hole transport materials include: copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) (doped with tetrafluorotetracyanoquinone dimethane (F4TCNQ)), with a LUMO level of approximately -5.2 eV; zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) doped with F4TCNQ (HOMO = -5.2 eV); α-NPD (N,N'-bis(naphthyl-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine) doped with F4TCNQ; and α-NPD doped with 2,2'-(perfluoronaphthyl-2,6-dimethylene)dimalonitrile. The concentration of the p-type dopant can be selected from 1 to 20 wt.-%, preferably from 3 wt.-% to 10 wt.-%.

[0208] According to an embodiment of an organic electronic device, the common hole injection layer may include a first common hole injection sublayer and a second common hole injection sublayer, the first common hole injection sublayer including an organic p-type dopant and an optional metal compound, and the second common hole injection sublayer including a covalent matrix compound or a substantially covalent matrix compound.

[0209] According to another embodiment of the organic electronic device, the common hole injection layer may include a common first hole injection sublayer and a common second hole injection sublayer, the common first hole injection sublayer including an organic p-type dopant and an optional metal compound, the common second hole injection sublayer including a covalent matrix compound or a substantial covalent matrix compound, wherein the common first hole injection sublayer is configured to be closer to the anode layer including the first anode sublayer and the second anode sublayer, and the second common hole injection sublayer is configured to be closer to at least one light-emitting layer.

[0210] According to an embodiment of an organic electronic device, the common hole injection layer may include a first common hole injection sublayer and a second common hole injection sublayer. The first common hole injection sublayer includes an organic p-type dopant and an optional metal compound. The second common hole injection sublayer includes a covalent matrix compound, which includes at least one aromatic amine compound, a diaromatic amine compound, and a triaromatic amine compound. The first common hole injection sublayer is positioned closer to the anode layer, and the second common hole injection sublayer is positioned closer to at least one light-emitting layer.

[0211] According to one embodiment, the hole injection layer material may be selected from compounds of formulas H1 to H12: (H1), (H2), (H3), (H4), (H5), (H6), (H7), (H8), (H9), (H10), (H11), (H12). Hole transport layer (HTL)

[0212] The HTL can be formed as a common HTL of a plurality of pixels or at least two pixels. The common HTL can extend over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels.

[0213] The hole transport layer (HTL) can be formed on a common HIL by vacuum deposition, spin coating, slot coating, printing, casting, Langmuir-Blodget deposition or similar methods.

[0214] The hole transport layer can be formed as a common hole transport layer.

[0215] When a hole transport layer (HTL) or a common hole transport layer (HTL) is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions may be similar to those used to form a high-level hole transport layer (HIL). However, depending on the compound used to form the hole transport layer (HTL) or the common hole transport layer (HTL), the conditions for vacuum or solution deposition may vary.

[0216] In one embodiment, the organic light-emitting diode further includes a hole transport layer (HTL) or a common hole transport layer (HTL), wherein the hole transport layer (HTL) or the common hole transport layer (HTL) is disposed between the common hole injection layer and at least one emission layer.

[0217] In one embodiment, the hole transport layer (HTL) or common hole transport layer (HTL) comprises a covalent matrix compound or a substantially covalent matrix compound.

[0218] In one embodiment, at least one common hole injection layer and hole transport layer (HTL) or common hole transport layer (HTL) comprises a covalent matrix compound or a substantial covalent matrix compound, wherein the covalent matrix compound or the substantial covalent matrix compound is selected to be the same in both layers.

[0219] The thickness of the HTL can be in the range of about 5 nm to about 250 nm, preferably about 10 nm to about 200 nm, more preferably about 20 nm to about 190 nm, more preferably about 40 nm to about 180 nm, more preferably about 60 nm to about 170 nm, more preferably about 80 nm to about 160 nm, more preferably about 100 nm to about 160 nm, and more preferably about 120 nm to about 140 nm.

[0220] When the thickness of HTL is within this range, HTL can have excellent hole transport characteristics without substantial loss of driving voltage.

[0221] A common hole transport layer (HTL) can be formed for a plurality of OLED pixels in an OLED display. In one embodiment, the common HTL can extend over all pixels in the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels in the plurality of pixels. Similarly, a cathode can be formed as a common cathode for the plurality of pixels or at least two pixels. The common cathode can extend over all pixels in the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels in the plurality of pixels. Each individual pixel may have its own anode, which may not contact the anodes of other individual pixels. Furthermore, the active-matrix OLED display has driving circuitry configured to drive the individual pixels of the plurality of pixels provided in the OLED display separately. In one embodiment, the step of driving separately may include separate control of the driving current applied to the individual pixels.

[0222] A common HTL can be made of a hole transport matrix (HTM) material doped with a hole injection material. The hole transport matrix material can be doped with more than one hole injection material. It should be understood that the HTM material is composed of one or more HTM compounds, and the term hole transport material is a broader term used throughout this application for all semiconductor materials including at least one HTM compound. The hole transport matrix material can be composed of one or more organic compounds.

[0223] The HTM may include or consist of compounds having the energy of their highest occupied molecular orbitals, expressed on an absolute scale with a reference vacuum level of zero, calculated in the package program TURBOMOLE V6.5 using the hybrid function B3LYP with a Gaussian 6–31G* basis set in the range of < -4.27 eV to ≥ -6.0 eV, < -4.3 eV to ≥ -5.5 eV, preferably < -4.5 eV to ≥ -5.4 eV, and more preferably from < -4.6 eV to ≥ 5.3 eV.

[0224] The common hole transport layer may have a thickness of less than 50 nm, less than 40 nm, less than 30 nm, less than 20 nm, or less than 15 nm. The common hole transport layer may have a thickness greater than 3 nm, greater than 5 nm, greater than 8 nm, or greater than 10 nm. The anode may be made of a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) (e.g., indium tin oxide (ITO)). Alternatively, the anode may be made of one or more thin metal layers, forming a semi-transparent anode. In another embodiment, the anode may be made of a thick metal layer that is opaque to visible light.

[0225] In one embodiment, the work function of the anode may be less than 500 meV, less than 450 meV, less than 400 meV, less than 350 meV, or less than 300 meV higher than the highest LUMO level of the compound of the hole injection material forming the common hole injection layer, indicated by an absolute scale with reference to the vacuum level of zero.

[0226] Typical examples of known doped hole transport materials are: copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) with a HOMO level of approximately -5.2 eV and doped with tetrafluorotetracyanoquinone dimethyl ether (F4TCNQ) with a LUMO level of approximately -5.2 eV; zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) doped with F4TCNQ (HOMO = -5.2 eV); α-NPD (N,N'-bis(naphthyl-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine) doped with F4TCNQ; and α-NPD doped with 2,2'-(perfluoronaphthyl-2,6-dimethylene)dimalonitrile. The concentration of the hole injection material can be selected from 1 to 20 wt.-%, preferably 3 wt.-% to 10 wt.-%. Electron blocking layer

[0227] The electron blocking layer (EBL) can be formed as a common electron blocking layer (EBL) or as a separating layer that is not a common electron blocking layer (EBL). The EBL can be formed as a common EBL of a plurality of pixels or at least two pixels. The common EBL can extend over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels. Preferably, each individual pixel can have its own EBL, which may not contact the EBL of other individual pixels.

[0228] The function of the electron blocking layer (EBL) is to prevent electrons from transferring from the luminescent layer to the hole transport layer, thereby confining the electrons within the luminescent layer. The EBL can be in direct contact with both the common HTL and the EML. The electron blocking layer can be an undoped layer made of an organic hole transport matrix material (or in other words, it can be free of hole injection material). The composition of the organic hole transport matrix material of the common hole transport layer can be the same as that of the organic hole transport matrix material of the electron blocking layer. In another embodiment of the invention, the compositions of the two hole transport matrix materials can be different.

[0229] Therefore, efficiency, operating voltage, and / or service life can be improved. Typically, the electron blocking layer comprises a triarylamine compound. The triarylamine compound may have a LUMO level closer to the vacuum level than the LUMO level of the hole transport layer. Each compound forming the electron blocking layer may have a HOMO level expressed on an absolute scale with a reference vacuum level of zero, which is higher than the HOMO level of any compound of the hole transport matrix material forming the common hole transport layer. Compared to the HOMO level of the hole transport layer, the electron blocking layer may have a HOMO level further away from the vacuum level.

[0230] The organic matrix material of the electron blocking layer may have a hole mobility equal to or higher than that of the matrix material of the hole transport layer. The hole transport matrix (HTM) material of the common HTL and / or EBL may be selected from compounds comprising conjugated systems including nonlocalized electrons, wherein the conjugated system comprises at least two lone pairs of tertiary amine nitrogen atoms.

[0231] If the electron blocking layer has a high triplet energy level, it can also be called a triplet control layer. If a green or blue phosphorescent emitting layer is used, the function of the triplet control layer is to reduce triplet quenching. Therefore, higher luminous efficiency from the phosphorescent emitting layer can be achieved. The triplet control layer is selected from triarylamine compounds whose triplet energy level is higher than that of the phosphorescent emitter in the adjacent emitting layer. Suitable compounds (especially triarylamine compounds) for use as triplet control layers are described in EP 2 722 908 A1.

[0232] The thickness of the electron blocking layer can be selected between 2 and 20 nm. The EBL can have a layer thickness greater than 30 nm, greater than 50 nm, greater than 70 nm, greater than 100 nm, or greater than 110 nm. The thickness of the EBL can be less than 200 nm, less than 170 nm, less than 140 nm, or less than 130 nm. Compared to the EBL, the common HTL may be about an order of magnitude thinner.

[0233] The electron blocking layer may include a compound having the energy of its highest occupied molecular orbital, expressed on an absolute scale with reference to the vacuum level of zero, calculated in the TURBOMOLE V6.5 program using the hybrid function B3LYP with a Gaussian 6–31G* basis set in the range of < -4.27 eV to ≥ -6.0 eV, < -4.3 eV to ≥ -5.5 eV, preferably < -4.5 eV to ≥ -5.4 eV, and more preferably < -4.6 eV to ≥ 5.3 eV. Photoactive layer (PAL)

[0234] The photoactive layer converts current into photons or photons into current. The photoactive layer can be formed as a common photoactive layer or as a separate layer that is not a common photoactive layer. The PAL can be formed as a plurality of pixels or a common PAL of at least two pixels. The common PAL can extend over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels.

[0235] PAL can be formed on HTL by vacuum deposition, spin coating, slot coating, printing, casting, LB deposition, or similar methods. When PAL is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions may be similar to those used to form HIL. However, depending on the compound used to form PAL, the deposition and coating conditions may vary.

[0236] The prerequisite may be that the photoactive layer does not include the organic p-type dopant of this invention. Emissive Layer (EML)

[0237] The EML layer can be formed as a common EML layer or as a separate layer that is not an EML layer. For RGB displays, preferably, the EML is formed as a separate layer that is not an EML layer. The EML can be formed as a common EML of a plurality of pixels or at least two pixels. The common EML can extend over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in an OLED display or over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels.

[0238] EML can be formed on HTL by vacuum deposition, spin coating, slot coating, printing, casting, LB deposition, or the like. When EML is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions may be similar to those used to form HIL. However, depending on the compound used to form the EML, the deposition and coating conditions may vary.

[0239] The common electron transport layer may include an organic electron transport matrix (ETM) material. Furthermore, the common electron transport layer may include one or more n-type dopants, and suitable compounds for the ETM include aromatic or heteroaromatic structural moieties, as disclosed, for example, in documents EP 1 970 371 A1 or WO 2013 / 079217 A1.

[0240] The premise may be that the light-emitting layer does not include organic p-type dopants for HIL and / or HTL as described in this invention.

[0241] The light-emitting layer (EML) can be formed by combining a host and an emitter dopant. Examples of hosts are Alq3, 4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP), poly(n-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), 9,10-bis(naphthyl-2-yl)anthracene (ADN), 4,4',4''-tris(carbazole-9-yl)-triphenylamine (TCTA), 1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (TPBI), 3-tri-tert-butyl-9,10-bis-2-naphthylanthracene (TBADN), stilbene aryl (DSA), and bis(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazolyl)zinc (Zn(BTZ)2).

[0242] The emitter dopant can be a phosphorescent or fluorescent emitter. Phosphorescent emitters and emitters that emit light via thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are preferred due to their higher efficiency. The emitter can be a small molecule or a polymer.

[0243] Examples of red emitter dopants include PtOEP, Ir(piq)3, and Btp2lr(acac), but are not limited thereto. These compounds are phosphorescent emitters; however, fluorescent red emitter dopants may also be used.

[0244] Examples of phosphorescent green emitter dopants are Ir(ppy)3 (ppy = phenylpyridine), Ir(ppy)2(acac), and Ir(mpyp)3.

[0245] Examples of phosphorescent blue emitter dopants are F₂Irpic, (F₂ppy)₂Ir(tmd), Ir(dfppz)₃, and trifurfen. 4,4'-bis(4-diphenylaminostyryl)biphenyl (DPAVBi) and 2,5,8,11-tetra-tert-butylperylene (TBPe) are examples of fluorescent blue emitter dopants.

[0246] Based on 100 parts by weight of the host, the amount of emitter dopant can range from about 0.01 to about 50 parts by weight. Alternatively, the emitter layer can be composed of a light-emitting polymer. The EML can have a thickness of about 10 nm to about 100 nm, for example, about 20 nm to about 60 nm. When the thickness of the EML is within this range, the EML can exhibit excellent light emission without substantial loss of driving voltage. Hole blocking layer (HBL)

[0247] The hole blocking layer (HBL) may be formed as a common hole blocking layer (HBL) or as a separate hole blocking layer (HBL) that is not a common hole blocking layer (HBL). The HBL may be formed as a common HBL of a plurality of pixels or at least two pixels. The common HBL may extend over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels.

[0248] The hole blocking layer (HBL) can be formed on the EML by vacuum deposition, spin coating, slot coating, printing, casting, LB deposition or similar methods to prevent holes from diffusing into the ETL. When the EML includes phosphorescent dopant, the HBL can also have triplet exciton blocking function.

[0249] HBL can also be called auxiliary ETL or a-ETL.

[0250] When HBL is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions can be similar to those used to form HIL. However, depending on the compound used to form HBL, the deposition and coating conditions may vary. Any compound commonly used to form HBL can be used. Examples of compounds used to form HBL include acediazole derivatives, triazole derivatives, phenobarbital derivatives, and triazine derivatives.

[0251] The HBL can have a thickness of about 5 nm to about 100 nm, for example, about 10 nm to about 30 nm. When the thickness of the HBL is within this range, the HBL can have excellent hole-blocking performance without substantial loss of driving voltage. Electron Transport Layer (ETL)

[0252] The electron transport layer (ETL) can be formed as a common electron transport layer (ETL) or as a separate electron transport layer (ETL) that is not a common electron transport layer (ETL).

[0253] An ETL can be formed as a common ETL of a plurality of pixels or at least two pixels. A common ETL can extend over all pixels of a plurality of pixels in an OLED display or over at least two pixels of a plurality of pixels.

[0254] Each individual pixel may have its own ETL, which may not access the ETL of other individual pixels.

[0255] The organic light-emitting diode according to the present invention may further include an electron transport layer (ETL).

[0256] According to another embodiment, the electron transport layer may further include an azazine compound, preferably a triazine compound.

[0257] In one embodiment, the electron transport layer may further include a dopant selected from basic organic complexes (preferably LiQ).

[0258] The thickness of the ETL can be in the range of about 15 nm to about 50 nm, for example, about 20 nm to about 40 nm. When the thickness of the ETL is in this range, the ETL can have satisfactory electron injection characteristics without substantial loss of driving voltage.

[0259] According to another embodiment, the organic light-emitting diode may further include a hole-blocking layer and an electron transport layer, wherein the hole-blocking layer and the electron transport layer include an azine compound. Preferably, the azine compound is a triazine compound. Electron injection layer (EIL)

[0260] EIL can be formed as a common EIL layer or as a separate EIL layer that is not a common EIL layer.

[0261] The EIL can be formed as a common EIL of a plurality of pixels or at least two pixels. The common EIL can extend over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels.

[0262] An optional EIL that facilitates electron injection from the cathode may be formed on the ETL, preferably directly on the electron transport layer. Examples of materials used to form the EIL include lithium 8-hydroxyquinoline (LiQ), LiF, NaCl, CsF, Li₂O, BaO, Ca, Ba, Yb, and Mg, which are known in the art. The deposition and coating conditions for forming the EIL are similar to those for forming the HIL, although the deposition and coating conditions may vary depending on the material used to form the EIL.

[0263] The thickness of the EIL can be in the range of about 0.1 nm to about 10 nm, for example, about 0.5 nm to about 9 nm. When the thickness of the EIL is within this range, the EIL can have satisfactory electron injection characteristics without substantial loss of driving voltage. Cathode electrode

[0264] The cathode electrode may be formed as a common cathode electrode layer or as a separate cathode electrode layer that is not a common cathode electrode layer.

[0265] The cathode may be formed as a common cathode of a plurality of pixels or at least two pixels. The common cathode may extend over all pixels of the plurality of pixels in the OLED display or over at least two pixels of the plurality of pixels.

[0266] The cathode electrode (also known as the cathode layer) is formed on the ETL or optional EIL.

[0267] The cathode can be made of a metal or metal alloy having a low work function. Transparent cathodes made of TCO are also well known in the art. Preferably, the cathode electrode can be formed of a metal, alloy, conductive compound, or mixture thereof. The cathode electrode can have a low work function. For example, the cathode electrode can be formed of lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum (Al)-lithium (Li), calcium (Ca), barium (Ba), ytterbium (Yb), magnesium (Mg)-indium (In), magnesium (Mg)-silver (Ag), or the like. Alternatively, the cathode electrode can be formed of a transparent conductive oxide (preferably ITO or IZO).

[0268] The thickness of the cathode electrode can be in the range of about 5 nm to about 1000 nm, for example, in the range of about 10 nm to about 100 nm. When the thickness of the cathode electrode is in the range of about 5 nm to about 50 nm, even if it is formed of metal or metal alloy, the cathode electrode can be transparent or translucent.

[0269] It should be understood that the cathode electrode is not part of the electron injection layer or the electron transport layer. Organic layer stacking

[0270] The organic layer stack may be made of an organic compound with a molecular weight of less than 2000 g / mol. In an alternative embodiment, the organic compound may have a molecular weight of less than 1000 g / mol.

[0271] It may be that at least two common semiconductor layers of HIL and HTL extend over all pixels of a plurality of pixels in an OLED display or over at least two pixels of a plurality of pixels.

[0286] A method for manufacturing at least one common layer includes, wherein the method for manufacturing at least one common layer includes depositing each common layer over the entire display area via a large mask opening in a process step.

[0287] In the following description, embodiments will be illustrated in more detail with reference to examples. However, this disclosure is not limited to the following examples. Exemplary examples will now be referred to in detail.

Implementation Method

[0289] The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which are merely illustrative and not binding.

[0290] The compound can be prepared as described in the literature, or alternative compounds can be prepared as similar compounds described in the literature. Calculated HOMO and LUMO.

[0291] The HOMO and LUMO energy levels were calculated using the suite program TURBOMOLE V6.5 (TURBOMOLE GmbH, Litzenhardtstrasse 19, 76135 Karlsruhe, Germany). The optimal geometry of the molecular structure and the HOMO and LUMO energy levels were determined by applying a mixed-function B3LYP with a 6–31 G* basis set in the gas phase. If more than one configuration was feasible, the configuration with the lowest total energy was selected. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels are recorded in electron volts (eV). The transmission line method is described in more detail.

[0292] According to the present invention, the transmission line method for measuring the sheet resistance of a first common semiconductor layer comprising an organic p-type dopant and a second common semiconductor layer on the first common semiconductor can be performed as follows. Substrate and sample preparation.

[0293] According to Figure 4, an ITO-coated substrate with 90 nm ITO and a sheet resistance of 10 Ohm / sq is patterned using an interdigitated structure. Twelve ITO fingers on the two electrodes form a total of 23 conductive regions: n=23. The interdigitation length we is 4.5 mm. Therefore, the total channel width is 103.5 mm. The channel length w varies in 20 µm steps between 20 and 80 µm. Electrode pairs with four different channel lengths are combined on a substrate with dimensions of 25 x 25 mm², as shown in Figure 5. An organic layer is deposited on the substrate, covering the complete interdigitated pattern. On the substrate, a first common semiconductor layer comprises at least one organic p-type dopant with a thickness of 10 nm. For example, the first common semiconductor layer is a hole injection layer composed of a doped covalent matrix compound, the suitable covalent matrix compound described in the specification being deposited by co-evaporation. The temperature range depends on the material and is limited by the vaporization temperature at the start of vaporization and the decomposition temperature. These values ​​are material parameters and vary for each material. They typically range from 50 °C to 500 °C, with most falling between 150 °C and 350 °C. For example, covalent matrix compound deposition is performed at a fixed rate of 1 Å / s and a evaporation source temperature of 272 °C. Organic p-type dopant sources are selected, for example, from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylenes, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, and substituted or unsubstituted aromatic compounds including condensation rings, and more preferably, organic p-type dopant may be selected from substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylene compounds. Other suitable p-type dopants are described in the specification, for example, operating at 0.068 Å / s at 174 °C. On this layer, a second common semiconductor layer with a thickness of 128 nm is deposited at a deposition rate of 2 Å / s and a temperature of 280 °C, which is, for example, a common hole transport layer or a common electron blocking layer, wherein a hole transport layer is preferred. Throughout the deposition process, the chamber pressure was 3e-7 mbar. However, as mentioned above, the deposition temperature used depends on the vaporization temperature at the onset of vaporization and the decomposition temperature. The deposition temperature for organic materials depends on the material and is typically between 50°C and 500°C. After the organic layer was deposited, the resulting substrate device was encapsulated in a nitrogen-filled glove box with a glass lid containing an integrated desiccant to prevent sample degradation.

[0294] According to the present invention, the transmission line method for measuring the sheet resistance of a common first semiconductor layer comprising an organic p-type dopant, a common second semiconductor layer on the common first semiconductor layer, and a common third semiconductor layer on the common second semiconductor layer can be performed as described below.

[0295] According to Figure 4, an ITO-coated substrate with 90 nm ITO and a sheet resistance of 10 Ohm / sq is patterned using a forked structure. Twelve ITO fingers on the two electrodes form a total of 23 conductive regions: n=23. The fork length we is 4.5 mm. Therefore, the total channel width is 103.5 mm. The channel length w varies in 20 µm steps between 20 and 80 µm. Electrode pairs with four different channel lengths are combined on a substrate with a size of 25 x 25 mm², as shown in Figure 5. An organic layer is deposited on the substrate, covering the complete forked pattern. On the substrate, a first common semiconductor layer comprises at least one organic p-type dopant with a thickness of 10 nm. For example, the first common semiconductor layer is a hole injection layer composed of a doped covalent matrix compound, the suitable covalent matrix compound described in the specification being deposited by co-evaporation. The temperature range depends on the material and is limited by the vaporization temperature at the start of vaporization and the decomposition temperature. These values ​​are material parameters and are different for each material. These values ​​are typically between 50 °C and 500 °C, with most falling between 150 °C and 350 °C. For example, covalent matrix compound deposition is performed at a fixed rate of 1 Å / s and a evaporation source temperature of 272 °C. Organic p-type dopant sources are selected, for example, from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylenes, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, and substituted or unsubstituted aromatic compounds including condensation rings, and more preferably, organic p-type dopant may be selected from substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylene compounds. Other suitable p-type dopants are described in the specification, for example, operating at 0.068 Å / s at 174 °C. On this layer, a second common semiconductor layer with a thickness of 128 nm is deposited at a deposition rate of 2 Å / s and a temperature of 280 °C, which is, for example, a common hole transport layer or a common electron blocking layer, wherein a hole transport layer is preferred. On this layer, a third common semiconductor layer with a thickness of 5 nm, such as a common electron blocking layer, is deposited at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s and a temperature of 244°C. The chamber pressure is 3e-7 mbar throughout the deposition process. However, as mentioned above, the evaporation temperature used depends on the vaporization temperature at the start of vaporization and the decomposition temperature. The evaporation temperature for organic materials depends on the material and is typically between 50°C and 500°C. After the organic layer deposition, the resulting substrate device is encapsulated in a nitrogen-filled glove box with a glass lid containing an integrated desiccant to prevent sample degradation.

[0296] According to the present invention, the transmission line method for measuring the sheet resistance of a common first semiconductor layer comprising an organic p-type dopant, a common second semiconductor layer on the common first semiconductor layer, a common third semiconductor layer on the common second semiconductor layer, and a common light-emitting layer (EML) on the common third semiconductor layer can be performed as described below.

[0297] According to Figure 4, an ITO coated substrate with 90 nm ITO and a sheet resistance of 10 Ohm / sq is patterned using a finger structure. Twelve ITO finger structures on the two electrodes form a total of 23 conductive regions: n=23. The finger length we is 4.5 mm. Therefore, the total channel width is 103.5 mm. The channel length w varies between 20 and 80 µm in 20 µm steps. Electrode pairs with four different channel lengths are combined on a substrate with dimensions of 25 x 25 mm², as shown in Figure 5. An organic layer is deposited on the substrate, covering the complete finger pattern. On the substrate, a first common semiconductor layer comprises at least one organic p-type dopant with a thickness of 10 nm. For example, the first common semiconductor layer is a hole injection layer composed of a doped covalent matrix compound, the suitable covalent matrix compound described in the specification being deposited by co-evaporation. The temperature range depends on the material and is limited by the vaporization temperature at the start of vaporization and the decomposition temperature. These values ​​are material parameters and vary for each material. They typically range from 50 °C to 500 °C, with most falling between 150 °C and 350 °C. For example, covalent matrix compound deposition is performed at a fixed rate of 1 Å / s (angstroms per second) with a deposition source temperature of 272 °C. Organic p-type dopant sources are selected, for example, from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylenes, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, substituted or unsubstituted quinones, and substituted or unsubstituted aromatic compounds including condensation rings, and more preferably, organic p-type dopant may be selected from substituted or unsubstituted 3-axylene compounds. Other suitable p-type dopants are described in the specification, for example, operating at 0.068 Å / s at 174 °C. On this layer, a second common semiconductor layer with a thickness of 128 nm is deposited at a deposition rate of 2 Å / s at a temperature of 280 °C, which is, for example, a common hole transport layer or a common electron blocking layer, preferably a hole transport layer. On this layer, a third common semiconductor layer with a thickness of 5 nm, such as a common electron blocking layer, is deposited at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s at a temperature of 244°C. On this layer, a host compound is deposited at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s at a temperature of 183°C, and an emitter dopant is deposited at a deposition rate of 0.03 Å / s at a temperature of 197°C, while an emitter layer with a thickness of 20 nm, such as a blue emitter layer, is deposited. Throughout the deposition process, the chamber pressure is 3e-7 mbar. However, as mentioned above, the evaporation temperature used depends on the vaporization temperature at the start of vaporization and the decomposition temperature. The evaporation temperature for organic materials depends on the material and is typically between 50°C and 500°C. After the organic layer deposition, the resulting substrate device is encapsulated in a nitrogen-filled glove box using a glass cover with an integrated desiccant to prevent sample degradation. General procedures for manufacturing OLEDs.

[0298] For Examples 1 to 18 and Comparative Example 1, a glass substrate having an anode layer (the anode layer comprising a first anode sublayer of 120 nm Ag, a second anode sublayer of 8 nm ITO, and a third anode sublayer of 10 nm ITO) was cut to a size of 50 mm × 50 mm × 0.7 mm, ultrasonically cleaned with water for 60 minutes, and then ultrasonically cleaned with isopropanol for 20 minutes.

[0299] Then, a substantial covalent matrix compound and a hole injection material are co-deposited on the anolyte layer in a vacuum to form a hole injection layer (HIL). Next, the substantial covalent matrix compound is vacuum-deposited on the HIL to form an HTL with a thickness of 128 nm. The molecular formula of the substantial covalent matrix compound in the HTL is the same as that of the substantial covalent matrix compound used in the HIL.

[0300] Then, vacuum deposition was performed on HTL to form an electron blocking layer (EBL) with a thickness of 5 nm.

[0301] Next, 97 vol.-% H09 (Sun Fine Chemicals, Korea) as the EML body and 3 vol.-% BD200 (Sun Fine Chemicals, Korea) as the fluorescent blue emitter dopant were deposited on the EBL to form a first emission layer (EML) with a thickness of 20 nm that emits blue light.

[0302] Next, a hole blocking layer with a thickness of 5 nm is formed by depositing 2-(3'-(9,9-dimethyl-9H-furo-2-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine on the emission layer (EML).

[0303] Then, an electron transport layer with a thickness of 31 nm is formed by depositing 50 wt.-% of 4'-(4-(4-(4,6-biphenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2-yl)phenyl)naphth-1-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carboxynitrile and 50 wt.-% of LiQ on the hole blocking layer.

[0304] Then, an electron injection layer with a thickness of 2 nm is formed on the electron transport layer by depositing ytterbium at a rate of 0.01 to 1 Å / s at 10-7 mbar.

[0305] Next, Ag:Mg (90:10 vol.-%) was evaporated at a rate of 0.01 to 1 Å / s at 10-7 mbar to form a cathode layer with a thickness of 100 nm on the electron injection layer.

[0306] The OLED stack is protected from environmental conditions by using a device encapsulation with a glass slide. Therefore, a cavity is formed, which includes a getter material for further protection.

[0307] To evaluate the performance of the present invention compared to the prior art, current efficiency was measured at 20°C. The current-voltage characteristics were determined using a Keithley 2635 power measurement unit by providing an operating voltage U in V and measuring the current flowing through the device under test (in mA). The voltage applied to the device varied between 0V and 10V in 0.1V steps. Similarly, the luminance-voltage characteristics and CIE coordinates were determined by measuring the luminance (in cd / m²) at each voltage value using an Instrument Systems CAS-140CT array spectrometer (calibrated by Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle (DAkkS)).

[0308] The lifespan LT of the device was measured using a Keithley 2400 sourcemeter under ambient conditions (20°C) and 30 mA / cm², and recorded in hours. The brightness of the device was measured using a calibrated photodiode. The lifespan LT was defined as the time before the brightness of the device decreased to 97% of its initial value.

[0309] To determine the voltage stability U over time (10h-1h), a current density of 30 mA / cm² was applied to the device. The operating voltage U was measured after 1 hour and after 50 hours, and then the voltage stability over the period from 1 hour to 50 hours was calculated.
