In the case of OLEDs, UHD 8K (7,680 * 4,320) display has been implemented. However, pattern manufacturing through a transfer printing process requires a long process time and high cost consumables, and OLED manufacturing process using a metal mask also requires a high cost process ratio, and it is difficult to realize a pattern of 8K or more.

Conventional visible light controllable display research has been carried out in a study of changing color by stacking OLED structures or a single OLED study using a light emitting layer in which two light emitting materials are mixed. However, in the case of a stacked-type OLED display, wires for connection to the external circuit of the internal connection electrodes connecting the upper and lower units are required to not only complicate the circuit components but also to stack the internal layers by a high- There is a limit in terms of cost. On the other hand, in the case of a single OLED device of visible light variable type, there is a merit that it is a simple device structure and a circuit constituent element. However, there is a limitation that a variable region of visible light is very narrow.

1 is a perspective view illustrating a laminated structure of a visible light wavelength tunable multilayer polyimide device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1, a visible light wavelength variable type multi-layered polymer light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first polymer light emitting portion 300 formed on a lower electrode 200 formed on a substrate 100; A highly conductive polymer layer 400 laminated on the first polymer light emitting portion 300; A second polymer light emitting part 500 laminated on the high conductive polymer layer 400; And an upper electrode 600 formed on the second polymer light emitting unit 500.

As described above, the polymer light emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the lower electrode 200, the first polymer light emitting portion 300, the high conductive polymer layer 400, the second polymer light emitting portion 500, and the upper electrode 600 The present invention provides a visible light wavelength variable laminated polymer light emitting device having a laminate structure in which an inverse structure and a definite structure are connected by a high conductivity polymer layer 400.

Thereby forming a light emitting portion. The positive structure is a structure in which holes are injected into the light emitting layer as a carrier in the lower electrode 200 and forms a laminated structure of the lower electrode 200 / hole transport layer / polymer light emitting layer, As a carrier, into the light emitting layer, and forms a laminated structure of the lower electrode 200 / electron transport layer / polymer light emitting layer.

The structure of the first polymer light emitting portion 300 shown in FIG. 1 is such that the electron transport layer 310 / the first polymer light emitting layer (blue) 350 / the first hole transport layer 330 And the structure of the second polymer light emitting portion 500 is a structure in which the second hole transport layer 530 / the second polymer light emitting layer 550 (orange or red) is formed on the high conductivity polymer layer 400 A laminated structure is exemplified.

Here, the light emitting layer may be an organic light emitting polymer layer, and may be formed using various organic electroluminescent polymers that emit not only RGB basic organic light emitting polymers but also other colors.

As the RGB organic electroluminescent polymer, a green light emitting polymer F8BT [poly [(9,9-di-n-octylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) -alt- (benzo [2,1,3] thiadiazol- -diyl) is preferably synthesized and used, and it is preferable to use a red-emitting polypyrrole copolymer and a blue-emitting polypyrrofibifluorene-based copolymer. Further, it is preferable to use an orange color and yellow light-emitting polypyrifluorophenylene copolymer.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to use a polymer light emitting layer in which R, G, and B are mixed. However, brightness is much increased in comparison with each of red, green and blue monochromatic light emitting polymers .

That is, the light emitting polymer used in the polymer light emitting layer of the first polymer light emitting portion 300 and the second polymer light emitting portion 500 used in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to a single color light emitting polymer, In the case of using a mixed polymer of light emitting polymers (hereinafter, referred to as "RGB" light emitting polymer), it can be seen that the luminance is much increased by FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) phenomenon between R, G, and B alone. Of course, even when two kinds of light emitting polymers such as red and green, red and blue, and green and blue are used, the brightness can be increased by using FRET between the different light emitting polymers.

1, the light emitting layers of the colors corresponding to the complementary colors among the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) series colors are combined to form the first polymer 350 light emitting layer and the second polymer It is needless to say that by forming the over-layer 550, light emission of white light or visible light wavelength can be realized.

Here, the highly conductive polymer layer 400 may be formed of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) -poly (styrenesulfonate), poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) PEDOT: PSS) is preferably used. The lower electrode 200 is preferably an ITO transparent electrode, and the upper electrode 600 is preferably made of a metal such as AL / LiF or an alloy.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing various examples of a laminated structure of a visible light wavelength variable type laminated polymer light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, a light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light emitting portion having light emitting wavelengths different from each other with a high conductive polymer layer 400 (PEDOT: PSS layer) interposed therebetween, (See FIG. 2 (a)) and a positive structure / reverse structure (see FIG. 2 (b)).

That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when a direct current forward voltage is applied by stacking a device internal structure and an inverse structure, the orange or red light emitting unit in the upper layer operates to emit orange or red light, When a reverse voltage is applied, the blue light emitting unit as a lower layer operates and emits blue light. In addition, when AC voltage is applied, the upper and lower light emitting units alternately operate according to the polarity of the AC voltage to emit blue and orange or blue and red to realize white light. At frequencies above 50 Hz, the blue and orange or red drive is driven at a high speed that can not be distinguished from the human eye, so it is recognized as a white light of visible light wavelength.

When the polymer light emitting units 300 and 500 having different emission wavelengths are disposed with the high conductive polymer layer 400 interposed therebetween and the DC voltage is applied to the lower electrode 200 and the upper electrode 600, The negative carriers move to the light emitting layer to selectively emit light. When alternating voltage is applied, lights of different wavelengths are mixed, or light of a visible light wavelength is emitted through continuous light emission. Therefore, it is also possible to form various light emitting layers of red, green and blue series in combination with each other.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a highly conductive polymer layer 400 is formed between the polymer light emitting units 300 and 500 having different light emission wavelengths to function as a floating electrode, so that the operation of two or more light emitting units A direct current or an alternating voltage is applied to the lower electrode 200 and the upper electrode 600 to selectively emit light or to operate two or more light emitting devices without needing a contact between the internal electrode and the external circuit It is possible to realize the light emission of the visible light wavelength. Thus, the device and the circuit structure are simple and easy to manufacture, and the defect rate and the power loss due to the circuit connection can be reduced.

More specifically, the operation of the light emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention in accordance with the application of direct current or alternating current voltage will be described as follows: when the alternating voltage is applied by stacking the reverse structure and the positive structure, to be. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, in the case of a device having a reverse / positive structure, only the upper cell operates at a forward bias to emit orange light and the lower cell does not operate, and the reverse bias is applied , Only the lower cell will operate and emit blue below, and the upper cell will not operate.

If + sinusoidal alternating voltage is applied alternately, the upper cell operates only when the + is applied, and only the lower cell operates when applied. However, when the frequency of the AC voltage increases, that is, when + and - In case of 50Hz, + and - change in 0.02sec cycle) In this case, the upper cell and the lower cell alternately operate at high speed.

Therefore, in the human eye, turning on alternating colors is not distinguished, but the upper and lower colors are combined. In addition, when the magnitude of + and - of the AC voltage is adjusted (when an asymmetric AC voltage of + 20 / -10 V is applied), the brightness of the upper and lower cells can be adjusted, shifted white light can be implemented.

For example, when an AC voltage of +2: -16V, +12: -16V, +14: -16V, +16: -14V, and +16: -6V is applied to the EL spectrum A spectral result appears as shown in Fig.

FIG. 15 shows a result of spectra measurement experiment of a light emitting device in which an upper blue light unit and an upper blue light unit according to the magnitude of the AC voltage and the negative voltage are stacked.

When an asymmetric AC voltage having different magnitudes of (+) and (-) voltages is applied to a light emitting diode device in which upper red light and lower blue light units are stacked, the luminescence intensities of blue light and red light are different. For example, when an AC voltage of +4: -18V, +12: -18V, +18: -18V, +18: -12V, and +18: -6V was applied to the EL spectrum The spectral results are shown as shown in Fig.

FIG. 16 is a graph illustrating a color coordinate measurement result of a light emitting device in which upper orange or red light lower blue light units are stacked according to the magnitude of the AC voltage and the negative voltage.

As shown in FIG. 16, the orange dot indicates the color coordinate value of the light emitting device in which the blue light unit under the upper orange unit is stacked, and is represented by +2: -16 V, +6: 16 V, +14: -16 V, +16: -16 V, +16: -14 V, +16: -14 V, and +16: -12 V is applied, the coordinates move from red to orange Which means that the visible light wavelength of the broadband can be modified.

The red dot indicates the color coordinate value of the light emitting diode device in which the upper red sub-blue light unit is stacked, which is +4: -18 V, +10: -18 V, +12: -18V, +16: -18V, +18: -18V, +18: -16V, and +18: -14V, +18: -12V, +18: -10V, +18: -8 V, and +18: -4 V When adjusting the magnitude of positive voltage at AC voltage, you can adjust the emission intensity of different wavelength above and below. This means that you can move the color coordinates from blue to red.
