Definitions
- the invention relates to new transparent organic electroluminescent arrangements for use in display and display technology.
- Organic electroluminescent displays are already known in the prior art. They have a polymer layer or a layer composed of low-molecular building blocks, which is located between two electrical contacts or electrodes. Such electroluminescent displays are described, for example, in Burroughes, J.H., Bradley, D.D.C., Brown, A.R., Marks, R.N., Mackay, K., Friend, R.H., Burns, P.L. and Holmes, A.B., Nature 347 (1990) 539 and Tang, C.W. and van Slyke, S.A., Appl. Phys. ett. 51 (1987) 12, 913.
- One of the electrical contacts is chosen to be transparent (ITO), for the other a metal with a low work function for electrons is used (aluminum, calcium or magnesium / silver).
- ITO transparent
- a metal with a low work function for electrons is used (aluminum, calcium or magnesium / silver).
- the low molecular weight building blocks are often evaporated, the polymers processed from the solution, for example spin-coated or applied by dipping (film-casting) or by means of a doctor blade technique.
- the task with these processes is to apply the polymer film very thinly (approx. 100 nm), as homogeneously and uniformly as possible.
- the radiation of the display is based on the reflection of the light on the metal electrode.
- the light is then emitted through the transparent ITO electrode.
- the otherwise reflective metal electrode must also be made transparent.
- transparent aluminum electrodes approximately 10 to 30 nm
- the problem lies in the low conductivity of such a thin aluminum electrode, which makes it impossible to operate the display in a stable manner because contacting is very difficult. Therefore, Gu et al. in Appl. Phys. Lett. 68 (1996) 19, 2606 suggested first to vapor-deposit an electrode made of an alloy of magnesium and silver, which is then coated with a transparent but very conductive ITO electrode.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide an electroluminescent arrangement which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages.
- the invention relates to an electroluminescent arrangement which comprises two transparent electrical contacts applied to a substrate and a fluorescent polymer solution located between the contacts and a seal.
- FIG. denotes (3) a transparent substrate, preferably a glass substrate, onto which transparent electrical contacts (2) or transparent electrodes (ITO) are applied, (1) the fluorescent polymer solution and (4) a seal that prevents the solution from drying out and prevents the diffusion of oxygen and water vapor into the electroluminescent device.
- a transparent substrate preferably a glass substrate
- ITO transparent electrodes
- the electroluminescent arrangement according to the invention has the advantage over known arrangements that the electrodes of the display can consist of the same material composition. Due to the symmetrical injection of the charge carriers, the electroluminescent arrangement according to the invention can be operated both with a DC voltage of different polarity and with AC voltage. Finally, the transparent organic electroluminescent arrangement according to the invention is characterized by a high degree of reliability and reproducibility, a significantly lower technical outlay and lower costs in production and operation, so that new fields of application are opened up. can be sen.
- the electroluminescent arrangement according to the invention can be characterized as a transparent display which, when switched off, has a transmission of over 80% (average value).
- the functioning of the display is based on the effect that a fluorescent polymer solution, which is located between two electrodes, which are at a distance of 0.5 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m, can be excited to electroluminescence.
- a high photoluminescence quantum yield in the polymer solution is necessary for a sufficiently large electroluminescence in such a transparent electroluminescence arrangement. It is particularly advantageous in the structure according to the invention that the fluorescence quantum yield in a solution is significantly greater than in a polymer layer produced from a solution.
- a “fluorescent polymer solution” is understood to mean a solution of a polymer which has fluorescence properties or a polymer which contains conjugated segments which can transfer charges, with low molecular weight fluorescent dyes being added to the solution in addition to this polymer.
- the decisive factor here is that the solution can be excited to electroluminescence as well as being able to transmit the charges injected via the contacts.
- Both fluorescent conjugated polymers and polymers with isolated chromophores in the main and / or side chain are suitable as polymer materials.
- the chromophoric groups are EI electron systems.
- a conjugated polymer refers to macromolecules which have the ability to delocalize ri electrons along the polymer chain, so that they indicate semiconducting properties.
- Polymers which have these properties and can be used according to the invention include organo-soluble, substituted poly (p-arylene vinylene) derivatives, polyfluorene, polycarbazoles, poly (arylene-1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles), Conductor polymers, e.g. Poly (p-phenylene) derivatives and polythiophenes.
- poly (p-arylene vinylene) derivatives include in Bing R. Hsieh, Yuan Yu, Anita C. Van Laeken, Hookun Lee, Macromolecules 30 (1997) 8094 and S. Janietz, R. Friedrich, A. Wedel, Macromol. Chem. Phys. 200 (1999) 731.
- Polyfluorenes which can be used in the polymer solution of the electroluminescent arrangement according to the invention are described, for example, in N.H. Cho, J.K. Kim, D.Y. Kim, CY. Kim, poly. Prepr. 38 (1997), 357, 417.
- R is n-hexyl, poly (9, 9 '-di-n-hexyl-2, 7-fluorodiylvinylene-alt-1, 3-phenylene vinylene (PDHFMPV) of the formula
- R is as defined above, and poly (9-n-hexyl-2, 7-fluoro-diyl-vinylene-alt-1, 3-phenylene vinylene) of the formula
- R is also n-hexyl.
- polycarbazoles with the following structural formulas can be used:
- polystyrene resin Another class of polymers that can be used for this purpose are the poly (arylene-1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles). These are described, for example, in German patent application 198 40 195.7.
- aromatic poly- (1, 3,4-heterodiazoles) comprising 100 to 1000 repeating units, selected from the group consisting of
- R, R, R and R 4 may be the same or different and each represents an alkyl, alkoxy, phenyl, phenoxy or thiophenol group and X represents S, 0 or N-phenyl.
- conductor polymers e.g. Poly (p-phenylene) derivatives and polythiophenes, as already mentioned, can be used to prepare the polymer solution.
- These polymers are described, for example, in U. Scherf, K. Müllen, Macromol. Chem. Rapid Commun. 12 (1991) 489 and J. Roneali, Chem. Rev. 97 (1997) 173.
- R 1 is C 6 H 4 -C 10 H 21 and R is C 6 H 13 .
- Polymaterials with isolated chromophores include both polymers with chromophoric side chains and main chain polymers with isolated chromophoric units, which can also be used as active emitter materials in the solution.
- poly (p- (stilbenylmethoxy) styrene) of the formula can in particular be used according to the invention
- organic solvents in which the aforementioned polymers have a corresponding solubility can be used as the organic solvent for producing the polymer solution.
- examples of such solvents are toluene, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, ethanol, acetone, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide and corresponding mixtures.
- polar solvents is preferred.
- the concentration of the polymer in the solvent is generally 0.5 to 15% by weight and preferably 2 to 8% by weight.
- a low-molecular fluorescent dye is additionally added to the solution, its concentration is in the Polymer solution 0.05 to 2 wt .-% and preferably 0.1 to 1 wt .-%.
- Such low-molecular fluorescent dyes are, for example, perylene dyes such as Lumogen RED300 (manufacturer: BASF).
- These fluorescent dyes can either be added directly to the polymer solution or first dissolved in a solubilizer and then added to the polymer solution.
- the polymer solution which optionally contains fluorescent dyes, is applied to a corresponding transparent substrate on which there are likewise transparent electrodes or electrical contacts.
- ITO conductive electrodes
- RF sputtering special vapor deposition processes
- a light emission can be observed in accordance with the photoluminescence of the solution.
- the transmission of the entire arrangement results from the product of the transmission of the two ITO electrodes and the thin polymer solution and is greater than 80% (in the visible spectral range).
- a prerequisite for the functioning of the transparent electroluminescent arrangement is that the concentration of the polymer in the solution or the concentration of the fluorescent dyes is optimally adapted to the photoluminescent behavior with optical excitation. This is the case when the concentration of these components is adjusted as described above.
- the electrodes must be at a distance of a few nanometers to a few micrometers, preferably in the range between 50 nm to 3 ⁇ m.
- the transparent organic electroluminescent arrangements according to the invention then display electroluminescence depending on the type or polarity of the voltage applied.
- n 8 to 100 (preferably 8 to 50).
- a solution (toluene as a solvent) is prepared, in which there is 0.5% of a pyrene dye (Lumogen RED300), which is then in a 4% solution (toluene as a solvent) of the polymer 2 (phenyl-substituted poly (p-phenylene vinylene) ) is mixed in a ratio of 1: 5.
- a pyrene dye Liogen RED300
- This mixture (about 1 ml) is then applied to an ITO glass substrate. Then a second ITO glass substrate is positioned on the previously prepared sample so that the electrodes are at a distance of approximately 800 nm. The glass edges are sealed with a sealing material against drying out of the solution and against the diffusion of oxygen and water vapor into the device.
- this device When switched off, this device has a transmission of over 70%. After contacting the electrodes and applying a negative or positive voltage of approx. 20 V to the ITO electrodes, red electroluminescence (530 nm) can be observed.
- n 10 to 6000.
- this device When switched off, this device has a transmission of over 90%. After contacting the electrodes and applying a negative or positive voltage of approx. 13 V to the ITO electrodes, a blue electroluminescence (490 nm) can be observed.
