Detailed Description
Features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below, and in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely configured to illustrate the invention and are not configured to limit the invention. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the invention by showing examples of the invention.
It is noted that relational terms such as first and second, and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
It will be understood that when a layer, an area, or a structure is described as being "on" or "over" another layer, another area, it can be referred to as being directly on the other layer, another area, or another layer or area can be included between the layer and the other layer, another area.

The inventors found in the study that in an OLED display panel, the on-state voltage of a blue light emitting device is about 2.7V, the on-state voltage of a green light emitting device is about 2.34V, and the on-state voltage of a red light emitting device is about 2.0V in theory. As shown in fig. 1, the turn-on voltage of the blue light emitting device and the operation voltage of the blue light emitting device are higher than those of the green light emitting device and the red light emitting device in a general display panel. Therefore, when the blue light emitting device is turned on and/or works, crosstalk current or leakage current of the thin film transistor is generated, and the crosstalk current or the leakage current generated by the thin film transistor is transversely conducted through the hole injection layer, so that the green light emitting device and the red light emitting device with lower turn-on voltage can be turned on, and color cast of the display panel is caused. Compared with blue and green light-emitting devices, the red light-emitting device has lower starting voltage and working voltage, so that crosstalk current is generated when the green light-emitting device is started and/or works, and the starting and working of the red light-emitting device are influenced.
The present application has been made based on the knowledge and findings of the above-mentioned problems.
A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a light emitting device including a light emitting layer and a first carrier layer. The light-emitting layer is provided with a light-emitting material, and the light-emitting color of the light-emitting layer is any one of red or green color primary color, namely the light-emitting device is a red light-emitting device or a green light-emitting device in the display panel. The first carrier layer is laminated with the light emitting layer.
The light-emitting device has a starting state and a working state, and has a starting voltage in the starting state and is started; the light emitting device has an operating voltage in an operating state, and performs normal operation light emission.
In general, an operating voltage of a light emitting device in a display panel is higher than an on-state voltage.
In the on-state, a first activation energy difference delta Ea x is formed between the activation energies of the light-emitting layer and the first carrier layer; in the working state, the second activation energy difference delta Ea x 'exists between the activation energy of the light-emitting layer and the activation energy of the first carrier layer, and delta Ea x>ΔEax' >0eV.
A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application proposes a light emitting device that emits red light or green light and has a higher on-luminance voltage and a lower operating voltage. The light-emitting device has higher starting voltage, so that the light-emitting device which is not expected to start to emit light when the display panel displays is not started due to crosstalk current, the problem of color cast of the display panel is avoided, and the display effect of the display panel is further improved. Meanwhile, the light-emitting device has lower working voltage, so that the light-emitting device can be prevented from becoming a crosstalk source generating transverse crosstalk current in the working state, the working of other light-emitting devices with low starting voltage is influenced, and the problem of color cast of display panels is further avoided.
The activation energy in the embodiment of the application refers to potential barriers which need to be overcome for transferring electrons or holes between different functional layers of the light-emitting device. The activation energy of a single layer or multiple layers in embodiments of the present application may be understood as the potential barrier that electrons (or holes) need to overcome to flow from the cathode side (or anode side) through the single layer or multiple functional layers, where the functional layers refer to the carrier layer as well as the light emitting layer in the light emitting device. The carrier layer in the light emitting device includes an electron transport layer, a hole blocking layer, a compensation layer, a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer, and the like. Alternatively, the activation energy in the embodiments of the present application may be understood as the energy required for electrons to flow from the cathode side through the functional layer carrying electrons and holes to flow from the anode side through the functional layer carrying holes. The activation energy difference is understood to be the energy required for a carrier to flow from one functional layer to another in a certain carrier flow direction (e.g. electron injection direction or hole injection direction).
When the functional layer is made of a single material, the activation energy Ea of the material is the activation energy Ea corresponding to the functional layer. When the functional layer is made of two or more materials, the activation energy of the functional layer may be calculated by: firstly, obtaining the product value of the activation energy of each material and the molar mass fraction corresponding to each material; the individual product values are then summed to obtain the overall activation energy of the functional layer, which may also be referred to as a weighted average activation energy.
The activation energy can be calculated by the following Arrhenius (Arrhenius) formula: ea=e 0 +mrt, where Ea is the activation energy, E 0 and m are constants independent of temperature, T is temperature, R is molar gas constant. I.e. from the above formula, the activation energy is temperature dependent. In addition, the unit of the activation energy obtained by the calculation formula is joule J, and the unit of the activation energy can be converted into electron volt eV by a simple conversion formula, wherein the conversion formula is as follows: 1 ev=1.60217665 x 10 -19 J. It will be appreciated that in the embodiments of the present application, a basic formula for calculating Ea is given, and those skilled in the art may calculate Ea based on the basic Arrhenius (Arrhenius) formula given in the embodiments of the present application or from various variations of the Arrhenius (Arrhenius) formula.
In other embodiments, the activation energy of the functional layer may be obtained using thermogravimetric analysis. For example, the whole of the first carrier layer and the single-color light-emitting layer is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis, and the activation energy of each functional layer is directly calculated according to the thermogravimetric analysis structure. Wherein, the thermogravimetric analysis refers to a method for obtaining the change relation of the mass of a substance with the temperature (or time) under the control of the temperature by a program; when thermogravimetric analysis is used to obtain thermogravimetric curve, average activation energy can be calculated by differential subtraction (Freeman-Carroll) method or integral (OWAZa) method.
The highest occupied energy level orbital HOMO and the lowest occupied energy level orbital LUMO are generally used in the prior art to measure the energy level matching of each functional layer in a light emitting device. However, HOMO and LUMO only consider the injection efficiency of carriers, and in the embodiment of the present application, the energy level matching relationship between the light emitting layer and the activation energy of the first carrier layer stacked on the light emitting layer is adjusted, so as to adjust the on-luminance voltage and the operating voltage of the light emitting device. Starting from the activation energy direction, the influence of various factors such as the injection of carriers, the transmission of carriers, the temperature and the like between actual functional layers on the starting voltage and the working voltage of the light-emitting device can be comprehensively considered. The matching relation between the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting device and the first carrier layer is comprehensively evaluated through the activation energy Ea, so that the starting voltage of the green or red light-emitting device is increased, the working voltage is reduced, the influence of crosstalk current on the light-emitting device is effectively avoided, and the problem of color cast of the display panel is further avoided.
In some alternative embodiments, the first carrier layer is a compensation layer, located on the hole injection side of the light emitting layer; or the first carrier layer is a hole blocking layer and is positioned on the electron injection side of the light emitting layer. The inventors have further found during the course of the study that the cross-talk current generally conducts in the lateral direction of the hole injection layer so that other light emitting devices with lower turn-on voltages are turned on. The difference value of the activation energy between the activation energy of the light-emitting layer and the activation energy of the first carrier layer is a positive value, so that crosstalk current flowing in the hole injection layer can be prevented from easily flowing into the light-emitting layer through the first carrier layer, and the light-emitting device is prevented from being turned on by the crosstalk current.
In some alternative embodiments, the first carrier layer is a compensation layer, located on the hole injection side of the light emitting layer; the light-emitting device further comprises a hole blocking layer, wherein the hole blocking layer is arranged on the layer of the light-emitting layer and is positioned on the electron injection side of the light-emitting device; in the on-state, a third activation energy difference delta Ea y is arranged between the activation energy of the light-emitting layer and the activation energy of the hole blocking layer; in the operating state, the light-emitting layer and the first carrier layer have a fourth activation energy difference Δea y 'between activation energies, and Δea y>ΔEay' >0eV. In these embodiments, the activation energy of the hole blocking layer and the compensation layer, which are respectively disposed on the electron injection side and the hole injection side of the light emitting layer, is lower than that of the light emitting layer. It can also be understood that on the electron injection side, electrons need to overcome a certain energy barrier from the hole blocking layer into the light emitting layer; on the hole injection side, holes flow into the light-emitting layer from the compensation layer to overcome a certain energy barrier, so that the light-emitting device is further ensured to have higher starting voltage, and the operating voltage of the light-emitting device is reduced due to delta Ea y>ΔEay '>0eV and delta Ea x>ΔEax' >0eV.
It should be noted that, the compensation layer has the capability of carrying current holes, which can improve the transmission and injection efficiency of holes at the hole injection side of the light emitting layer, and also plays a role in blocking electrons. The light-emitting layers with different light-emitting colors in the display panel correspond to different compensation layers, and the compensation layers are arranged between the light-emitting layers and the hole transport layers.
In some embodiments, the third activation energy difference Δea y between the activation energies of the light-emitting layer and the hole blocking layer is in the range Δea y >0.2eV.
In some embodiments, the third activation energy difference Δea y is in the range of 0.2eV < Δea y <0.6eV;
In other embodiments, the fourth activation energy difference Δea 2 'is in the range of 0eV < Δea y' <0.1eV.
In some embodiments, the first activation energy difference Δea x >0.2eV;
In other embodiments, the first activation energy difference Δea x is in the range of 0.2eV < Δea x <0.6eV.
In some alternative embodiments, when the first activation energy difference Δea x is between the activation energies of the light-emitting layer and the first carrier layer, the value of the turn-on voltage boost Δv on,ΔVon of the light-emitting device ranges from 0.1V to 0.2V.
In some alternative embodiments, the first activation energy difference ΔEa x >0.2eV. Illustratively, the range of values of the first activation energy difference Δea x is 0.2eV < Δea x <0.6eV. For example, when the first activation energy difference Δea x is provided between the activation energy of the light-emitting layer and the activation energy of the first carrier layer, the value of the turn-on voltage boost Δv on,ΔVon of the light-emitting device ranges from 0.1V to 0.2V. In these alternative embodiments the second activation energy difference Δea x 'is in the range of 0eV < Δea x' <0.1eV.
In some embodiments, when the second activation energy difference Δea x' is provided between the activation energy of the light-emitting layer and the activation energy of the first carrier layer, the operating voltage of the light-emitting device is reduced by Δv d,ΔVd to a value ranging from 0.1V to 0.6V.
In some alternative embodiments, the light emitting material of the light emitting layer in the light emitting device of the first aspect of the present application includes a host light emitting material and a guest light emitting material doped with the host light emitting material. Thus, it is understood that the activation energy of the light emitting layer is the weighted average activation energy of the host light emitting material and the guest light emitting material.
A second aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a material screening method, referring to fig. 2, for screening a light emitting layer material of a light emitting device, where the screening method includes:
Step S10, providing a plurality of first single-carrier devices, wherein each first single-carrier device comprises a single-color light emitting layer and a first carrier layer, and the first carrier layers among the plurality of first single-carrier devices are the same and the materials of the single-color light emitting layers are different;
step S20, providing a second single-carrier device, wherein the second single-carrier device comprises a second carrier layer, and the first carrier layer is the same as the second carrier layer;
Step S30, obtaining a first starting activation energy Ea i of each first single-carrier device and a second starting activation energy Ea l of each second single-carrier device under the starting current density, and obtaining a first working activation energy Ea j of each first single-carrier device and a second working activation energy Ea w of each second single-carrier device under the working current density;
step S40, screening to obtain a plurality of first target luminescent layer materials according to a first starting activation energy Ea i, a first working activation energy Ea j corresponding to each first single-carrier device and a second starting activation energy Ea l and a second working activation energy Ea w of the second single-carrier device.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 3, step S31 and step S32 are further included in step S30.
In step S31, the first single-carrier devices are subjected to an energization test to obtain an I-V curve related to the first single-carrier devices, i.e., a current-voltage curve of the first single-carrier devices, where the I-V curve represents a relationship between a turn-on current density and a voltage of the first single-carrier devices and also represents a relationship between an operating current density and a voltage of the first single-carrier devices under an operating current density. The first single-carrier device is a test device, and does not emit light in the power-on test process, and the starting current density of the first single-carrier device is equivalent to the starting current density of the monochromatic light emitting device corresponding to the first single-carrier device in the starting state. Similarly, the operating current density of the first single-carrier device corresponds to the operating current density of the single-color light emitting device corresponding to the first single-carrier device in the operating state. In step S31, according to the I-V curve of the first single-carrier device in the test process, an Arrhenius (Arrhenius) formula can be adopted to calculate and obtain a first start-up activation energy Ea i of each first single-carrier device of the first single-carrier device, I is more than or equal to 1, and I is an integer; and calculating to obtain a first work activation energy Ea j, wherein j is more than or equal to 1, and j is an integer.
