Definitions
- OLED Organic light emitting diode
- the invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode (OLED for organic light-emitting diode) with at least one polymer layer according to the preamble of claim 1.
- OLED organic light-emitting diode
- Organic light emitting diodes show a number of advantages that make them attractive for use in optoelectronics. These include the availability of many emission colors, low threshold voltages, quick switchability, small thickness and the possibility of using flexible substrates. Typical areas of application for OLEDs are pixelated display instruments and large-area elements for lighting purposes.
- OLEDs An important development goal for OLEDs is to increase the luminous efficacy and thus reduce the power consumption. This is particularly important for mobile applications where only limited energy resources are available.
- Extraction efficiency is the probability with which a photon generated in the emission zone can be coupled out of the diode and can thus be detected. Coupling losses occur by absorption or by waveguiding in one of the layers. Waveguide is due to total reflection at the interface of two layers with different refractive indices. With flat interfaces, the angle between the incident and reflected beam does not change except for the sign. Accordingly, a photon once totally reflected remains enclosed in the corresponding layer and cannot be extracted.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the process of waveguiding in the layers of an organic light-emitting diode:
- a transparent electrode 2 (usually indium tin oxide, ITO for short) is located on a substrate 3. At least one organic layer 1 is deposited thereon, followed by an electrode 5 (e.g. a cathode). In the organic layer 1, 6 photons are generated by emitters. Only photons that do not remain in layers 1-3 and 5 due to waveguiding are extracted. Line IV shows an example of the path of an extracted photon.
- ITO indium tin oxide
- waveguiding effects can occur in the organic layer, in the transparent electrode or in the substrate. Since the layer thicknesses of the organic layers and the transparent electrode are in the range of the light wavelength or below, discrete optical modes I, II are formed in these layers, while a mode continuum III is present in the substrate and classic radiation optics can be used here. A distinction is therefore made between layer modes and substrate modes.
- the optical modes formed in a thin, flat layer are essentially dependent on the layer thickness and the refractive index of the layer.
- a change in the refractive index and thus the disturbance of the waveguiding effects can be achieved by inhomogeneities within the organic layer if the inhomogeneities have a different refractive index than the layer matrix.
- the proposed oxidic nanoparticles can lead to a degradation of the active layer by oxidation. Accordingly, a significantly shorter lifespan was observed for the diodes with nanoparticles than for the reference diodes.
- a polymer LED is applied to a one-dimensional-periodic structure with a period of 388 nm and depths of 10 - 100 nm.
- the structure acts as a Bragg reflector and in turn leads to a scattering of optical modes in the emitter material.
- the object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
- an organic active OLED layer and a method for the production thereof are to be created in which the waveguiding effect is minimized by special precautions without the life of the layer being greatly shortened by the use of inorganic materials or by periodic structures a strong wavelength selectivity of the extraction occurs.
- inhomogeneities are introduced in at least one organic layer of the OLED which themselves have an organic composition.
- the organic inhomogeneities have a different refractive index than a layer matrix and consequently interfere with the waveguiding effects.
- FIG. 2a schematically shows the path of a photon, which is emitted by an emitter 6 and extracted from an organic layer 1, when the line 4a is provided with arrows and after it has passed through partial regions 1B with a first refractive index within a layer matrix material 1A with a second refractive index different from the first in one Steeper angle than the critical angle of total reflection strikes a transparent neighboring layer 2, which is, for example, an ITO anode.
- Layer 5 is, for example, a cathode.
- a photon remains trapped in the layer between a cathode 5 and a transparent anode 2 due to the waveguiding effect if the angle of incidence does not exceed the critical angle of total reflection. Layer modes arise.
- a mixture of plastics is used, the properties of which permit use as an active OLED layer or as a passive intermediate layer, or a mixture of their starting materials. Separation processes during or after layer formation are used in a targeted manner to obtain a layer that contains two or more phases.
- the phases with different refractive index consist of different plastics.
- Composite-like structure is understood here above all to mean the structure of a particle-filled plastic, as well as the structure of a composite with two three-dimensionally interpenetrating individual components, as it also arises, for example, when an open-pore plastic body is poured out with a second plastic.
- At least two polymers are dissolved or dispersed, which are in the Separate the removal of the solvent or dispersion medium or separate them before the layer dries by separating the solvent or dispersion medium.
- the layer consists chemically of a single polymeric material which, in island regions, has differences in material properties, such as crystallinity, degree of branching, degree of crosslinking, density and co-polymerization, and thus differences in the refractive index, compared to the matrix.
- Different charge carrier transport materials, emitter materials and any mixtures thereof can be used as plastics. It is also possible to use further, electrically inactive plastics or their precursors.
- the segregation process and chemical reactions can be influenced in a targeted manner.
- 1 is a schematic representation of the waveguide losses in the layers of a conventional organic light emitting diode
- 2a shows a schematic representation of the scattering of photons by refractive index inhomogeneities in an organic layer
- 2b is a schematic representation of the waveguide in an organic layer without scattering centers
- 3a shows a micrograph of an organic layer according to a first embodiment
- 3b shows a microscopic picture of an organic layer according to a second exemplary embodiment.
- FIGS. 1-2b The explanations for FIGS. 1-2b are already in the general part of the description.
- Embodiment 1 (Fig. 3a):
- polymer materials poly (para-phenylene-vinylene) derivative (PPV) and poly (N-vinyl carbazole) (PVC), which were mixed and spin-coated in solution as a layer on a substrate.
- One third of the mixture of the dissolved plastics consisted of PPV and two thirds of PVC. After the spin coating, the two materials separated, in which large structures made of PVC with smaller satellites were formed in a PPV matrix. This is shown by the microscopic image of the surface of the resulting organic layer shown in FIG. 3a). In a matrix made of PPV, PVC areas with a wide size distribution curve are stored as scattering centers.
- Embodiment 2 (Fig. 3b):
- it is PPV and PVC, which were mixed and spin-coated as a layer in solution.
- the mixture consists of 50% PPV and 50% PVC.
- the microscopic image of the organic layer produced in this way shown in FIG. 3b), shows that spherical PVC regions are in turn embedded as scattering centers in a PPV matrix, but in this case with a very high much narrower size distribution curve than in the first embodiment explained above.
- the light areas consist of PVC and the dark areas of PW.
- the exemplary embodiments demonstrate how a different size and a different size distribution of the scattering centers can be achieved by varying the mixing ratios of the two plastics. This advantageously offers the possibility of specifically adjusting the optical properties of the organic layer.
- the present invention is of course not limited to the polymer materials mentioned in the two exemplary embodiments, but can be used for all materials which are suitable in terms of their electrical properties for organic LEDs.
- an effect similar to segregation can be achieved if crystalline regions form within an amorphous matrix.
