Description

Internal light extraction structure, organic light emitting device comprising same and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an internal light extraction structure and an organic light emitting device including the same. And more particularly, to an internal light extraction structure that can improve light extraction efficiency of an organic light emitting device by eliminating an optical waveguide mode while securing transmittance, and an organic light emitting device including the same.
Background
Compared with the earlier developed inorganic light-emitting device, the organic light-emitting device (OLED) has the advantages of wide material selection range, capability of realizing full-color display, low driving voltage, high brightness and luminous efficiency, wide viewing angle, high response speed, relatively simple manufacturing process, low cost, capability of realizing flexible display and the like. Meanwhile, since the OLED has the characteristics of large-area film forming, low power consumption and other excellent characteristics, the OLED is an ideal plane light source, and has wide application prospect in the future energy-saving and environment-friendly illumination field.
The light emitting principle of the OLED is that when positive direct current voltage is applied to two electrodes, electrons and holes are respectively injected into an organic film from a cathode and an anode, current carriers migrate in an organic semiconductor material in opposite directions under the action of an electric field and meet to generate excitons, the excitons emit light compositely in a light emitting region, and the emitted light is emitted in all directions randomly, so that an external mode (light is emitted from the surface of a substrate), a substrate waveguide mode and an ITO/organic layer waveguide mode are formed due to the action of total reflection in the propagation process. According to classical ray optics theory, only a small fraction of the generated light can exit the substrate due to differences in refractive index, etc., between the glass substrate and the ITO/organic material, while the remaining majority of the light is either trapped in the glass substrate and the device in a waveguide mode or exits from the edge of the device. According to the calculation of the classical ray optical theory, the proportion of the external mode, the substrate waveguide mode and the ITO/organic layer waveguide mode in the traditional classical device is respectively 20%, 30% and 50%. The light emitted from the surface of the substrate (external mode) is only 20%, which is far from meeting the requirements of illumination and display applications, and it can be seen from the calculation results that most of the light generated by exciton recombination cannot be emitted from the substrate, which is the most important factor limiting the light-emitting efficiency of the OLED, and therefore, it is necessary to search for a method for improving the light extraction efficiency.
General light extraction methods can be divided into two categories: external light extraction and internal light extraction. The external light extraction method is applied to the outside of the device, is simple and easy to implement, can be respectively carried out with the preparation process of the device, has low cost and is easy for large-scale production, but can only extract the light trapped in the glass substrate, thereby limiting the light intensifying efficiency. The internal light extraction structure is built inside the device, and can extract light lost in the optical waveguide mode in the device. Therefore, the ability of the internal light extraction method to improve light extraction efficiency may be higher than the ability of the external light extraction method to improve light extraction efficiency.
However, the effect of using the internal light extraction method to improve the light extraction efficiency is still insignificant with respect to the amount of light emitted outward. Therefore, there is a need for active research into methods or techniques for further improving light extraction efficiency.
