[0062] Detailed Explanation

[0063] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The implementation can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into other forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0064] In the accompanying drawings, the size of one or more constituent elements, the thickness of layers, or areas are sometimes exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, this disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shape and size of one or more parts in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate ideal examples, and this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0065] The ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit the quantity. The term "multiple" in this disclosure refers to two or more quantities.

[0066] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of the constituent elements being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.

[0067] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or joint; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meaning of these terms in this disclosure as appropriate.

[0068] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.

[0069] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate, a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between its drain (drain terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and its source (source terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain, the channel region, and the source. In this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0070] In this specification, the first terminal can be the drain and the second terminal can be the source, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source" and "drain" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source" and "drain" can be interchanged. Additionally, the gate can also be called the control terminal.

[0071] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.

[0072] In this specification, circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined. They can be approximate circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, such as chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.

[0073] In this disclosure, "approximately" and "roughly" refer to situations where the limits are not strictly defined, allowing for errors in the process and measurement. In this disclosure, "roughly the same" means that the values ​​differ by no more than 10%. In this disclosure, "symmetric" refers to situations where the limits are not strictly defined, allowing for approximately symmetry within the range of errors in the process and measurement.

[0074] Sensitized fluorescence technology utilizes the high efficiency of sensitizers and possesses the advantage of high color purity of fluorescent emitters, giving it a technological advantage in the display field compared to fluorescence and phosphorescence technologies. However, the applicant has found that the light-emitting structure using sensitized fluorescence technology is more complex than that using phosphorescence technology, especially for tandem structures. Furthermore, the light-emitting structure using sensitized fluorescence technology requires additional evaporation equipment during production compared to phosphorescence technology, significantly increasing manufacturing costs and making the fabrication process more difficult.

[0075] This embodiment provides a light-emitting structure comprising at least two light-emitting units arranged in series in a direction perpendicular to the substrate. At least one of the light-emitting units includes a light-emitting layer and an exciton-blocking layer stacked in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, with the exciton-blocking layer located on the side of the light-emitting layer closest to the substrate. The light-emitting layer includes a red light-emitting layer, a green light-emitting layer, and a blue light-emitting layer arranged parallel to the substrate, with two of the red, green, and blue light-emitting layers disposed on the end face of the exciton-blocking layer away from the substrate, and located between the two ends of the exciton-blocking layer in the direction parallel to the substrate. In some exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting structure simplifies the structure, reducing the number of evaporation chambers and fine metal masks (FMMs), which is beneficial for reducing manufacturing process difficulty and cost.

[0076] In some exemplary embodiments, the hole mobility of the exciton blocking layer described above is μ p1 The hole mobility of the aforementioned hole transport layer is μ p2 The hole mobility of the aforementioned red electron blocking layer is μ p3 , of which 10 -3 ≤μ p1 / μ p2 ≤1, 1≤μ p1 / μ p3 ≤10 3 .

[0077] In some exemplary embodiments, the energy level of the exciton blocking layer is H1, the energy level of the hole transport layer is H2, and the energy level of the red electron blocking layer is H3, wherein |H1-H2| ≤ 0.15 eV, and |H1| ≤ |H3|.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, the hole transport layer and the exciton blocking layer are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the energy level of the exciton blocking layer is H1, and the energy level of the hole transport layer is H2, wherein |H1-H2| ≥ 0.15 eV.

[0079] In some exemplary embodiments, the material of the exciton blocking layer is a hole-type material, which includes triphenylamine, furan, carbazole, thiophene, or phenylfluorene groups.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, the area of ​​the luminescent region of the red luminescent layer projected onto the substrate is S1, the area of ​​the luminescent region of the green luminescent layer projected onto the substrate is S2, and the area of ​​the exciton blocking layer projected onto the substrate is T1, where T1 > (S1 + S2).

The light-emitting structure 1 has a partition structure between adjacent light-emitting devices. The partition structure can be an isolation pillar between adjacent light-emitting devices. The partition structure can isolate the connection of the charge generation layers of adjacent light-emitting devices, thereby reducing or eliminating the amount of leakage current flowing between adjacent light-emitting devices.

The area of ​​the hole blocking layer 10 projected onto the substrate is T3, where T1 ≥ T2 and T1 < T3.

[0108] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the light-emitting structure 1 has two light-emitting units 4, which are arranged sequentially in a first direction and connected in series. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the light-emitting structure 1 may have more than two light-emitting units 4 or may have only one light-emitting unit 4.

[0109] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the two light-emitting units 4 can be divided into a first light-emitting unit 4-1 and a second light-emitting unit 4-2, with the first light-emitting unit 4-1 located on the side of the second light-emitting unit 4-2 away from the substrate.

The blue light-emitting layer 16 in the first light-emitting unit 4-1 can be a first blue light-emitting layer 16-1, and the blue light-emitting layer 16 in the second light-emitting unit 4-2 can be a second blue light-emitting layer 16-2. The red electron blocking layer 17 in the first light-emitting unit 4-1 can be a first red electron blocking layer 17-1, and the red electron blocking layer 17 in the second light-emitting unit 4-2 can be a second red electron blocking layer 17-2. The blue electron blocking layer 18 in the first light-emitting unit 4-1 can be a first blue electron blocking layer 18-1, and the blue electron blocking layer 18 in the second light-emitting unit 4-2 can be a second blue electron blocking layer 18-2. The exciton blocking layer 12 in the first light-emitting unit 4-1 can be a first exciton blocking layer 12-1, and the exciton blocking layer 12 in the second light-emitting unit 4-2 can be a second exciton blocking layer 12-2.

[0110] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the materials of corresponding components of the first light-emitting unit 4-1 and the second light-emitting unit 4-2 may be the same or different. For example, the materials of the first hole blocking layer 10-1 and the second hole blocking layer 10-2 may be the same or different. As another example, the materials of the first hole transport layer 13-1 and the second hole transport layer 13-2 may be the same or different. As another example, the materials of the first red light-emitting layer 14-1 and the second red light-emitting layer 14-2 may be the same or different. As another example, the materials of the first green light-emitting layer 15-1 and the second green light-emitting layer 15-2 may be the same or different. As another example, the materials of the first blue light-emitting layer 16-1 and the second blue light-emitting layer 16-2 may be the same or different. As another example, the materials of the first red electron blocking layer 17-1 and the second red electron blocking layer 17-2 may be the same or different. As another example, the materials of the first blue electron blocking layer 18-1 and the second blue electron blocking layer 18-2 may be the same or different. For example, the materials of the first exciton blocking layer 12-1 and the second exciton blocking layer 12-2 may be the same or different.

[0111] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the first light-emitting unit 4-1 and the second light-emitting unit 4-2 are connected in series through a charge generation layer. The charge generation layer is located between the first light-emitting unit 4-1 and the second light-emitting unit 4-2. The charge generation layer includes a P-type charge generation layer 8 and an N-type charge generation layer 9, which are stacked in a first direction. The P-type charge generation layer 8 is located on the side of the N-type charge generation layer 9 away from the second light-emitting unit 4-2. The material of the N-type charge generation layer 9 can be an ET-type material doped with a low work function active metal, such as Li, Ca, Yb, etc.; the material of the P-type charge generation layer 8 can be formed by doping a HT-type material with a P-type dopant, and the P-type dopant can be molybdenum oxide. The proportion of P-type dopant in the P-type charge generation layer 8 is higher than the doping proportion of P-type dopant in the hole injection layer 7, which is beneficial to charge generation.

[0112] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting structure 1 further includes an electron transport layer (not shown), which may be located on the side of the N-type charge generation layer 9 away from the P-type charge generation layer 8 in a first direction. The electron transport layer (not shown) may have the same function as the electron output layer 20, and the material of the electron transport layer (not shown) may be the same as or different from that of the electron output layer 20.

[0113] The applicant discovered that current light-emitting devices employ a sensitized light-emitting mechanism in the green light-emitting layer 15, which comprises three materials. The green light-emitting layer 15 and the hole transport layer 13 require two blocking layers stacked in the first direction. The fabrication of these two blocking layers necessitates separate chambers, leading to an increase in the number of chambers and photomasks, and a more complex fabrication process. The blue electron blocking layer has different requirements than the green electron blocking layer, needing a wider bandgap and slower mobility. The green and red electron blocking layers, being thicker, require faster mobility. Therefore, there are significant differences in the bandgap and mobility between the blue electron blocking layer and the blocking layers for the other two colors. In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG4, this example uses a single exciton blocking layer 12 shared by the red and green light-emitting layers. Furthermore, the first sub-light-emitting layer replaces one blocking layer, reducing the structure between the green light-emitting layer and the hole transport layer 13, simplifying the structure, and improving exciton utilization to a certain extent, thus increasing the device efficiency of green light. Moreover, only one photomask and one evaporation process are needed to fabricate the exciton blocking layer 12, reducing the number of chambers and photomasks. Additionally, the red light-emitting layer adjusts the optical cavity length of the red light by sharing the thickness of the exciton blocking layer and the red electron blocking layer. Therefore, the thickness of the red electron blocking layer can be significantly reduced, allowing for more flexible selection of the hole mobility of the material. Moreover, the structure composed of the red light-emitting layer, the exciton blocking layer, and the red electron blocking layer facilitates the adjustment of charge balance and exciton recombination regions in the red light-emitting layer, improving exciton utilization and increasing the device efficiency of red light. FIG8 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of another light-emitting structure of this exemplary embodiment. In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG8, the second light-emitting unit 4-2 reduces one exciton blocking layer 12 compared to the first light-emitting unit 4-1. The first light-emitting unit 4-1 in Figure 8 can have the same structure as the first light-emitting unit 4-1 in Figure 4, while the second light-emitting unit 4-2 in Figure 8 can be different from the second light-emitting unit 4-2 in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 8, in the second light-emitting unit 4-2, the end face of the second red electron blocking layer 17-2 near the second hole transport layer 13-2 directly contacts the second hole transport layer 13-2, and the end face of the second green light-emitting layer 15-2 near the second hole transport layer 13-2 directly contacts the second hole transport layer 13-2. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the first light-emitting unit 4-1 reduces one exciton blocking layer 12 compared to the second light-emitting unit 4-2. For another example, the light-emitting structure 1 has m light-emitting units 4, where m is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3. The number of light-emitting units 4 with exciton blocking layers 12 is n, and the number of light-emitting units 4 without exciton blocking layers 12 is (mn), where n ≤ m, and n can be a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0114] Figure 9 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of another light-emitting structure according to this exemplary embodiment. In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figure 9, the second light-emitting unit 4-2 reduces one exciton blocking layer 12 compared to the first light-emitting unit 4-1, and the first light-emitting unit 4-1 omits the red electron blocking layer 17. The first light-emitting unit 4-1 in Figure 8 may be different from the first light-emitting unit 4-1 in Figure 4. The first light-emitting unit 4-1 in Figure 8 reduces the first red electron blocking layer 17-1, so that the first red light-emitting layer 14-1 directly contacts the exciton blocking layer 12. The second light-emitting unit 4-2 in Figure 9 may be different from the second light-emitting unit 4-2 in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 8, in the second light-emitting unit 4-2, the end face of the second red electron blocking layer 17-2 near the second hole transport layer 13-2 directly contacts the second hole transport layer 13-2, and the end face of the second green light-emitting layer 15-2 near the second hole transport layer 13-2 directly contacts the second hole transport layer 13-2.

[0125] The second red luminescent layer 14-2 consists of red light host material RH and red light guest material RD, with a thickness of 45nm and a content of 3% for the luminescent guest material RD.

[0126] Second green luminescent layer 15-2: Green light host material GH: Green light guest material GD (99%: 1.0%) (thickness 5nm) / Green light host material GH: Green light TADF characteristic material G-TADF: Green light guest material GD (69%: 30%: 1.0%) (thickness 30nm);

[0127] Second blue emitting layer 16-2: Blue light host material BH: Blue light guest material BD (2%), thickness 20nm;

[0133] First red electron blocking layer 17-1: First red light electron blocking material R-EBL(1);

[0134] First blue electron blocking layer 18-1: First transport material HTL(1);

[0135] First red emitting layer 14-1: Red light host material RH: Red light guest material RD (3%), thickness 45nm;

[0136] First green luminescent layer 15-1: Green light host material GH: Green light guest material GD (99%:1.0%) (5nm) / Green light host material GH: Green light TADF characteristic material G-TADF: Green light guest material GD (69%:30%:1.0%), thickness 30nm;

[0142] The above scheme allows for adjustment of the thicknesses of the second hole transport layer 13-2 and the first hole transport layer 13-1 to correspond to the color coordinates required for blue light. With the thicknesses of the first and second hole transport layers 13-1 and 13-2 fixed, the color coordinates required for green light can be achieved by adjusting the thicknesses of the first and second exciton blocking layers 12-1 and 12-2. With the thicknesses of the first and second exciton blocking layers 12-1 and 12-2 fixed, the color coordinates required for red light can be achieved by adjusting the thicknesses of the first and second red electron blocking layers 17-1 and 17-2.

[0143] In Scheme 1, the light-emitting structure shares an exciton blocking layer 12 between the red and green light-emitting layers. Furthermore, the first sub-light-emitting layer replaces a single blocking layer, reducing the structural gap between the green light-emitting layer and the hole transport layer 13, simplifying the structure, and improving exciton utilization and device efficiency for green light. Moreover, only one photomask and one evaporation process are needed to fabricate the exciton blocking layer 12, reducing the number of cavities and photomasks. Additionally, the red light-emitting layer adjusts the optical cavity length for red light by utilizing the shared thickness of the exciton blocking layer and the red electron blocking layer. Therefore, the thickness of the red electron blocking layer can be significantly reduced, allowing for greater flexibility in selecting the hole mobility of the material. Moreover, the structure composed of the red light-emitting layer, exciton blocking layer, and red electron blocking layer facilitates the adjustment of charge balance and exciton recombination regions within the red light-emitting layer, improving exciton utilization and device efficiency for red light.

[0267] In Scheme 6, compared to Scheme 1, the second hole transport layer 13-2 uses a deep HOMO second transport material HTL(2), whose HOMO difference with the host material of the adjacent green light-emitting layer is less than 0.25 eV, thus reducing the hole barrier from the hole transport layer to the light-emitting layer. Therefore, an exciton blocking layer is not required. The first hole transport layer 13-1 still uses the first transport material HTL(1), and the HOMO difference between the first hole transport layer 13-1 and the adjacent green light-emitting layer is relatively large. In the red light region, since hole transport differs in different light-emitting regions, an asymmetric structure of the second red electron blocking material R-EBL(2) combined with the first red electron blocking material R-EBL(1) is used to compensate for the difference of reducing one exciton blocking layer, achieving the same device performance while further reducing the use of materials, chambers, and masks.
