[0126] Among them, X 301 To X 309 Each of them is independently selected from C, N, a pyridyl group or a group having a pyridine derivative, a pyrimidinyl group or a group having a pyrimidine derivative, a triazine group or a group having a triazine derivative, an imidazolyl group or a group having an imidazole derivative, an oxazolyl group or a group having an oxazole derivative, a phenanthroline group or a group having a phenanthroline derivative.

[0127] In some embodiments, the first electron transporting material and the second electron transporting material are independently selected from the following compounds:

[0128] In some embodiments, the first buffer layer 104 is composed of the second electron transport material, and the second electron transport material is the same as the first electron transport material.

[0129] In some embodiments, the second buffer layer 106 is composed of the second electron transport material.

[0130] In some embodiments, the first buffer layer 104 and the second buffer layer 106 are made of the same material, and are both the same as the first electron transport material.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first n-type charge generation layer 105a further includes a first charge doping material. The first n-type charge generation layer 105a may be composed of the first electron transport material and the first charge doping material.

[0132] The first charge-doping material is selected from at least one of an alkali metal, an alkali metal alloy, an alkaline earth metal, an alkaline earth metal alloy, a lanthanide metal, and a lanthanide metal alloy. The addition of the first charge-doping material helps to improve the electron mobility of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a. Preferably, the mass ratio of the first electron transport material to the first charge-doping material is 99:1 to 80:20, for example, 98:2, 95:5, 92:8, 90:10, 88:12, 85:15, 82:18, etc.

[0133] The material selection range of the electron transport sublayer in the light emitting unit may be the same as or different from the selection range of the first electron transport material and the second electron transport material.

[0134] In some embodiments, the material of the electron transport sublayer may be selected from compounds represented by formula (4-1) to formula (4-2):

[0135] Among them, X 401 To X 408 are independently selected from C or N.

[0136] R 401 to R 408 and are each independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkenyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkenyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 1 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted non-aromatic fused polycyclic group, and a substituted or unsubstituted non-aromatic fused heteropolycyclic group.

[0137] In some embodiments, the material of the electron transport sublayer is selected from the following compounds:

[0138] In some embodiments, the electron mobility of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a is greater than or equal to 10 -5 cm2 / Vs, the electron mobility of the first buffer layer 104 is less than 10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, the electron mobility of the second buffer layer 106 is less than 10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, for example, the electron mobility of the first buffer layer 104 or the second buffer layer 106 may be 2×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs、10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, 2×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、6×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、8×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, etc., the provision of the second buffer layer 106 improves the reverse charge sensitivity generated by the direct contact between the first n-type charge generation layer 105a and the first p-type charge generation layer 105b, thereby improving the working stability of the display panel 10 at high temperatures.

[0139] Preferably, the electron mobility of the first electron transport layer 112 is greater than 10 -5 cm 2 / Vs, the electron mobility of the first electron transport layer 112 is less than 10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, the electron mobility of the first buffer layer 104 is greater than 10 -5 cm 2 / Vs, for example, can be 2×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs, 10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, 2×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -4 cm2 / Vs、6×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、8×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, etc. The first electron transport layer 112 that is in direct contact with the first buffer layer 104 may be the first electron transport sublayer. By aligning the electron mobility range of the first buffer layer 104 with the electron mobility range of the first electron transport sublayer, it is helpful to avoid that the provision of the first buffer layer 104 reduces the migration rate of electrons from the first n-type charge generation layer 105a to the first light-emitting unit 109.

[0140] In some embodiments, the material of the second buffer layer 106 is the same as that of the first buffer layer 104 , which helps to simplify the manufacturing process of the first buffer layer 104 and the second buffer layer 106 and facilitates the production of the display panel 10 .

[0141] The first buffer layer 104, the second buffer layer 106 and the first n-type charge generation layer 105a need to be formed by an evaporation process. When only the second buffer layer 106 is formed, even if the material of the second buffer layer 106 is the same as the first electron transport material, it is still necessary to add an evaporation cycle of separately evaporating the first electron transport material after the original evaporation process cycle of forming the first n-type charge generation layer 105a to form the second buffer layer 106 located between the first n-type charge generation layer 105a and the first p-type charge generation layer 105b, and the process is more complicated; when the material of the first buffer layer 104 and the material of the second buffer layer 106 are the same but different from the first electron transport material of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a, it is necessary to add an evaporation chamber to form the first buffer layer 104 and the second buffer layer 106, and the process is more complicated and the cost is higher; when the material of the first buffer layer 104, the material of the second buffer layer 106, the material of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a ... When the first electron transport material of the generation layer 105a is the same, the original complete co-evaporation of the first electron transport material and the first charge doping material can be changed to incomplete co-evaporation in one evaporation process cycle of the original evaporation to form the first n-type charge generation layer 105a: first, a part of the first electron transport material is evaporated to form one of the first buffer layer 104 and the second buffer layer 106, and then the first electron transport material and the first charge doping material are co-evaporated to form the first n-type charge generation layer 105a, and finally, a part of the first electron transport material is evaporated to form the other of the first buffer layer 104 and the second buffer layer 106. In this way, the first buffer layer 104, the second buffer layer 106 and the first n-type charge generation layer 105a can be formed in the same evaporation chamber without increasing the evaporation cycle, which is beneficial to simplifying the process. Therefore, preferably, the material of the second buffer layer 106, the material of the first buffer layer 104 and the first electron transport material are the same. In one cycle of evaporating the first n-type charge generation layer 105a, only incomplete co-evaporation of the first electron transport material and the first charge doping material is required to form the second buffer layer 106 and the first buffer layer 104. The process is further simplified, which facilitates the production of the display panel 10.

[0142] When the material of the second buffer layer 106 is the same as the material of the first buffer layer 104 and the first electron transport material, the difference between the thickness of the second buffer layer 106 and the thickness of the first buffer layer 104 is greater than or equal to 0 angstroms, and the difference between the thickness of the second buffer layer 106 and the thickness of the first buffer layer 104 is less than or equal to 50 angstroms, for example, 5 angstroms, 10 angstroms, 15 angstroms, 20 angstroms, 25 angstroms, 30 angstroms, 35 angstroms, 40 angstroms, 45 angstroms, etc. Preferably, the difference between the thickness of the second buffer layer 106 and the thickness of the first buffer layer 104 is 0 angstroms, that is, the thickness of the second buffer layer 106 is the same as the thickness of the first buffer layer 104.

[0143] When the material of the second buffer layer 106 is the same as that of the first buffer layer 104, the electron mobility range of the second buffer layer 106 is the same as that of the first buffer layer 104, that is, the electron mobility of the second buffer layer 106 is greater than 10 -5 cm 2 / Vs, the electron mobility of the second buffer layer 106 is less than 10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, for example, can be 2×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -5 cm 2 / Vs, 10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, 2×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、6×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、8×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, etc.

[0144] In some embodiments, the difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first buffer layer 104 and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a is greater than 2eV, and the difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first buffer layer 104 and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a is less than 4eV, for example, can be 2.2eV, 2.5eV, 2.7eV, 3eV, 3.2eV, 3.4eV, 3.5eV, 3.6eV, 3.8eV, etc. The difference between the energy levels of the first buffer layer 104 and the first n-type charge generation layer 105a is kept within a suitable range, which is conducive to the electrons from the first n-type charge generation layer 105a to the first buffer layer 105a. The p-type charge generation layer 105b is transferred to the first light-emitting unit 109 by the buffer layer 104; the difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the second buffer layer 106 and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a is greater than 2eV, and the difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the second buffer layer 106 and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a is less than 4eV, for example, it can be 2.2eV, 2.5eV, 2.7eV, 3eV, 3.2eV, 3.4eV, 3.5eV, 3.6eV, 3.8eV, etc., so that the electrons generated by the first p-type charge generation layer 105b can be more easily transferred to the first n-type charge generation layer 105a through the second buffer layer 106.

[0145] In some embodiments, the difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first buffer layer 104 and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of a layer in contact with the first buffer layer 104 in the first electron transport layer 112 is less than or equal to 2 eV, and the difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first buffer layer 104 and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of a layer in contact with the first buffer layer 104 in the first electron transport layer 112 is greater than or equal to 4 eV, for example, it can be 2.2 eV, 2.5 eV, 2.7 eV, 3 eV, 3.2 eV, 3.4 eV, 3.5 eV, 3.6 eV, 3.8 eV, etc., so that electrons can be more easily transferred from the first buffer layer 104 to the first electron transport layer 112.

[0146] In some embodiments, the difference between the absolute value of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a and the absolute value of the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b is less than or equal to 3.5 eV. For example, it can be 1 eV, 1.5 eV, 2 eV, 2.5 eV, 3 eV, etc., which is conducive to the transfer of electrons from the first p-type charge generation layer 105b to the first n-type charge generation layer 105a.

[0147] In some embodiments, the absolute value of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a is greater than or equal to 2.5 eV, and the absolute value of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a is less than or equal to 4.5 eV, for example, 2.8 eV, 3 eV, 3.2 eV, 3.5 eV, 3.6 eV, 3.8 eV, 4 eV, 4.2 eV, etc.

[0148] In some embodiments, the absolute value of the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b is greater than or equal to 4.5 eV, and the absolute value of the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b is less than or equal to 6.5 eV, for example, it can be 4.8 eV, 5 eV, 5.2 eV, 5.5 eV, 5.6 eV, 5.8 eV, 6 eV, 6.2 eV, etc.

[0149] In some embodiments, the electron work function of the first buffer layer 104 is between the electron work function of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a and the electron work function of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b, and the electron work function of the second buffer layer 106 is between the electron work function of the first n-type charge generation layer 105a and the electron work function of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b.

[0150] In some embodiments, the electron work function of the first buffer layer 104 is greater than 5.5 eV, and the electron work function of the first buffer layer 104 is less than 7.5 eV, for example, 6 eV, 6.2 eV, 6.5 eV, 6.7 eV, 7 eV, 7.2 eV, etc.

[0151] In some embodiments, the electron work function of the first electron transport layer 112 is greater than 5.5 eV, and the electron work function of the first electron transport layer 112 is less than 7.5 eV. The electron work function of the first buffer layer 104 is controlled to be in the same range as the electron work function of the first electron transport layer 112, so as to reduce the interference of the setting of the first buffer layer 104 on the movement of electrons.

[0152] In some embodiments, the electron work function of the second buffer layer 106 is greater than 5.5 eV, and the electron work function of the second buffer layer 106 is less than 7.5 eV, for example, 6 eV, 6.2 eV, 6.5 eV, 6.7 eV, 7 eV, 7.2 eV, etc.

[0153] The first p-type charge generation layer 105 b includes a first hole transport material, and the third buffer layer 115 includes a second hole transport material.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first hole transport material and the second hole transport material are selected from at least one of aniline derivatives, diphenylamine derivatives, triphenylamine derivatives, carbazole derivatives, furan derivatives, and thiophene derivatives.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first hole transport material and the second hole transport material are independently selected from a material having a structure as shown in any one of formulas (5-1) to (5-4):

[0156] Among them, R 501 to R 507 、R 511 to R 513 、R 521 to R 523 、R 511 to R 533 and each is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkenyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkenyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted arylthio group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted non-aromatic fused polycyclic group, and a substituted or unsubstituted non-aromatic fused heteropolycyclic group.

[0162] In some embodiments, the third buffer layer 115 and the fourth buffer layer 116 have the same material composition, and both have the same first hole transport material.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first p-type charge generation layer 105b further includes a second charge-doping material. The first p-type charge generation layer 105b may be composed of the second hole transport material and the second charge-doping material. The addition of the second charge-doping material is beneficial to improving the hole mobility of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b. Preferably, the mass ratio of the second hole transport material to the second charge-doping material is 99:1 to 80:20, for example, 98:2, 95:5, 92:8, 90:10, 88:12, 85:15, 82:18, etc.

[0164] In some embodiments, the second charge-doping material may be selected from at least one of a quinone derivative, a metal oxide, and a cyano-containing compound.

[0165] In some embodiments, the second charge-doping material can be selected from at least one of tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ), tungsten oxide, molybdenum oxide, and 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene-hexanitrile (HAT-CN).

[0166] In some embodiments, the second charge-doping material is selected from compounds represented by any one of formulas (6-1) to (6-3):

[0167] Among them, X 601 To X 603 are independently selected from C, O, and N;

[0168] R 601 to R 613 and each is independently selected from a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkenyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkenyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted non-aromatic fused polycyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted non-aromatic fused heteropolycyclic group, a cyano group, -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms substituted by -F, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms substituted by -Cl, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms substituted by -Br, and an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms substituted by -I.

[0169] In some embodiments, the hole mobility of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b is greater than or equal to 10 -2 cm 2 / Vs, the hole mobility of the third buffer layer 115 is greater than 10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, the hole mobility of the fourth buffer layer 116 is less than 10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, the provision of the third buffer layer 115 and the fourth buffer layer 116 further improves the reverse charge sensitivity generated by the direct contact between the first n-type charge generation layer 105a and the first p-type charge generation layer 105b, thereby improving the working stability of the display panel 10 at high temperatures.

[0170] Preferably, the hole mobility of the second hole transport layer 113 is greater than 10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, the hole mobility of the second hole transport layer 113 is less than 10 -2 cm 2 / Vs, the hole mobility of the third buffer layer 115 is greater than 10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, for example, the hole mobility of the third buffer layer 115 may be 2×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, 10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, 2×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、6×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、8×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, etc. The portion of the second hole transport layer 113 that is in direct contact with the third buffer layer 115 may be the second hole transport sublayer. By aligning the hole mobility range of the third buffer layer 115 with the hole mobility range of the second hole transport sublayer, it is helpful to avoid the provision of the third buffer layer 115 reducing the migration rate of holes from the first p-type charge generation layer 105b to the second light-emitting unit 110.

[0171] In some embodiments, the material of the fourth buffer layer 116 is the same as that of the third buffer layer 115 , which helps to simplify the manufacturing process of the fourth buffer layer 116 and the third buffer layer 115 and facilitates the production of the display panel 10 .

[0172] The fourth buffer layer 116, the third buffer layer 115 and the first p-type charge generation layer 105b need to be formed by an evaporation process. When only the fourth buffer layer 116 is formed, even if the material of the fourth buffer layer 116 is the same as the first hole transport material, it is still necessary to add an evaporation cycle of separately evaporating the first hole transport material after the original evaporation process cycle of forming the first p-type charge generation layer 105b to form the fourth buffer layer 116 located between the first n-type charge generation layer 105a and the first p-type charge generation layer 105b, and the process is more complicated; when the material of the fourth buffer layer 116 and the material of the third buffer layer 115 are the same but different from the first hole transport material of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b, it is necessary to add an evaporation chamber to form the fourth buffer layer 116 and the third buffer layer 115, and the process is more complicated and the cost is higher; when the material of the fourth buffer layer 116, the material of the third buffer layer 115, the material of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b When the first hole transport material of the generation layer 105b is the same, the original complete co-evaporation of the first hole transport material and the second charge doping material can be changed to incomplete co-evaporation in an evaporation process cycle for forming the first p-type charge generation layer 105b: first, part of the first hole transport material is evaporated to form the fourth buffer layer 116 and one of the third buffer layer 115, and then the first hole transport material and the second charge doping material are co-evaporated to form the first p-type charge generation layer 105b, and finally, part of the first hole transport material is evaporated to form the other of the fourth buffer layer 116 and the third buffer layer 115. In this way, the fourth buffer layer 116, the third buffer layer 115 and the first p-type charge generation layer 105b can be formed in the same evaporation chamber without increasing the evaporation cycle, which is beneficial to simplifying the process. Therefore, preferably, the material of the fourth buffer layer 116, the material of the third buffer layer 115 and the first hole transport material are the same. In one cycle of evaporating the first p-type charge generation layer 105b, only the second hole transport material and the second charge doping material need to be incompletely co-evaporated to form the fourth buffer layer 116 and the third buffer layer 115. The process is further simplified, which facilitates the production of the display panel 10.

[0173] When the material of the fourth buffer layer 116, the material of the third buffer layer 115, and the first hole transport material are the same, the difference between the thickness of the fourth buffer layer 116 and the thickness of the third buffer layer 115 is greater than or equal to 0 angstrom, and the difference between the thickness of the fourth buffer layer 116 and the thickness of the third buffer layer 115 is less than or equal to 50 angstroms, for example, 5 angstroms, 10 angstroms, 15 angstroms, 20 angstroms, 25 angstroms, 30 angstroms, 35 angstroms, 40 angstroms, 45 angstroms, etc. Preferably, the difference between the thickness of the fourth buffer layer 116 and the thickness of the third buffer layer 115 is 0 angstrom, that is, the thickness of the fourth buffer layer 116 is the same as the thickness of the third buffer layer 115.

[0174] When the material of the fourth buffer layer 116 is the same as that of the third buffer layer 115, the hole mobility range of the fourth buffer layer 116 is the same as that of the third buffer layer 115, that is, the hole mobility of the fourth buffer layer 116 is greater than 10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, the hole mobility of the fourth buffer layer 116 is less than 10 -2 cm 2 / Vs, for example, can be 2×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -4 cm 2 / Vs, 10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, 2×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、4×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、5×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、6×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、8×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, etc.

Specifically, the test results are combined with the Mott-Gurney equation and the Frenkel effect: Taking the logarithm of both sides gives: It can be seen that there is a linear relationship between In(J / E2) and . The function graph of In(J / E2) is plotted as it changes. The zero-field mobility of carriers in organic materials is calculated based on the intercept of the straight line. After being substituted into the Poole-Frenkel formula, the field-dependent mobility of carriers under a fixed electric field can be obtained.

[0176] In some embodiments, the difference between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the third buffer layer 115 and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first p-type charge generation layer 105 b is greater than 2 eV, and the difference between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the third buffer layer 115 and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first p-type charge generation layer 105 b is less than 4 eV, for example, can be 2.2 eV, 2.5 eV, 2.7 eV, 3 eV, 3.2 eV, 3.4 eV, 3.5 eV, 3.6 eV, 3.8 eV, etc., so as to keep the energy level difference between the first p-type charge generation layer 105 b and the third buffer layer 115 within a suitable range, which is conducive to the transfer of electrons from the third buffer layer 115 to the first p-type charge generation layer 105 b, accordingly, holes are transferred from the first p-type charge generation layer 105b to the third buffer layer 115; the difference between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the fourth buffer layer 116 and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b is greater than 2eV, and the difference between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the fourth buffer layer 116 and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the first p-type charge generation layer 105b is less than 4eV, for example, it can be 2.2eV, 2.5eV, 2.7eV, 3eV, 3.2eV, 3.4eV, 3.5eV, 3.6eV, 3.8eV, etc., so as to facilitate the transfer of electrons from the first p-type charge generation layer 105b to the first n-type charge generation layer 105a via the fourth buffer layer 116.

[0177] In some embodiments, the difference between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the third buffer layer 115 and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of a layer in the second hole transport layer 113 that is in direct contact with the third buffer layer 115 is greater than or equal to 2eV, and the difference between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of the third buffer layer 115 and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of a layer in the second hole transport layer 113 that is in direct contact with the third buffer layer 115 is less than or equal to 4eV, for example, it can be 2.2eV, 2.5eV, 2.7eV, 3eV, 3.2eV, 3.4eV, 3.5eV, 3.6eV, 3.8eV, etc., so as to facilitate the transmission of electrons from the second hole transport layer 113 to the third buffer layer 115, and correspondingly, holes are transmitted from the third buffer layer 115 to the second hole transport layer 113.

The electron work function of the third buffer layer 115 is controlled to be in the same range as the electron work function of the second hole transport layer 113, so as to reduce the interference of the setting of the third buffer layer 115 on the movement of holes.

[0181] In some embodiments, the electron work function of the fourth buffer layer 116 is greater than 5.5 eV, and the electron work function of the fourth buffer layer 116 is less than 7.5 eV, for example, 6 eV, 6.2 eV, 6.5 eV, 6.7 eV, 7 eV, 7.2 eV, etc.
