Assuming that the brightness of the pixel is 10 and the brightness is 1 when it is not lit, the external light can be calculated according to formula (1). The relationship between the brightness reflected into the display element and the contrast of the display element. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the second picture is the relationship between the contrast in the organic electroluminescent diode display element and the external brightness. It can be clearly seen from FIG. 2 that when the external light is reflected from the organic electroluminescent diode more, the contrast will be smaller, that is, the recognition degree of the display element will be worse. However, for a conventional organic electroluminescent diode display element, its recognition effect under strong external light does not seem to be satisfactory. Therefore, how to increase the contrast of the display element to obtain a better recognition degree still needs to be further improved.

Description of the invention (&gt;) LUXELL has produced a light interference layer ( 〇ptical Interference Layer) organic electroluminescent diode display element, which is mainly in the organic electroluminescent diode display element, a thin metal semi-transparent layer and a transparent layer are added between the organic light emitting layer and the metal cathode Material layer 'This transparent material layer is usually a metal oxide. The optical destructive interference effect of the above structure can reduce the reflectance of external light to less than 1%, thereby effectively improving the contrast of the display element. However, the organic functional layer part of the organic electroluminescent diode display element is formed by evaporation, but the transparent material layer (metal oxide) in the light interference layer is coated by sputtering, so The biggest disadvantages of the above method are as follows: 1. The organic light emitting layer and the light interference layer must be plated on different machines. 2. As a result of coating by different machines, the problem of stress matching between the film layers will occur, which will lead to a decrease in yield and an increase in process costs. 3. The light interference layer is plated by sputtering. Because the ion bombardment (Ion Bombardment) in the sputtering process has a large amount of energy, the energy of this ion bombardment can easily destroy the organic light-emitting layer that has been plated. 4. Because the light interference layer is plated by sputtering, the investment in sputtering equipment (machine) is more expensive. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to propose an organic electroluminescent diode display element with a light absorbing layer, which can greatly reduce the amount of external light reflected from the organic electroluminescent diode display element, so as to effectively enhance the strong light Lower contrast, which in turn increases the recognition effect of the display element. 5 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210x 297 male cage) f Please read the note on the back before filling this page} Words · Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy ^ _I Economy Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Ministry of Intellectual Property Bureau 578436 〇9473twf.d〇c / 〇〇6 A7 ________ B7 Description of Invention (q :) $ Another purpose of the invention is to propose an organic electric device with a light-absorbing layer The light-absorbing layer is made of a vapor-deposited line, which is compatible with the coating process of the organic light-emitting layer. The manufacturing process is relatively stomach-and-gas's. There is no problem that the organic light-emitting layer is damaged by the sputtering process. Another purpose of Ming is to propose an organic stomach with a light absorbing layer. #Light diode display elements, where the light absorbing layer is a general organic electricity: ¾ ¾ light: materials are used for diodes, so no need Additional additional evaporation materials and equipment. In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, an organic electroluminescent diode display element is proposed, which is mainly composed of a transparent substrate, a plurality of anodes, an organic functional layer, a light absorbing layer, and a plurality of cathodes. Among them, the anode system is disposed on a transparent substrate. The organic functional layer is disposed on the transparent substrate and covers the anode. The light absorbing layer is disposed on the organic functional layer, and the cathode is disposed on the light absorbing layer. The use of a light absorbing layer to improve the reflection of external light 'further increases the contrast of the display element. In the present invention, the anode and the cathode are, for example, strip-shaped structures, and the extension direction of the anode is perpendicular to the extension direction of the cathode. The light absorbing layer is composed of an organic material layer and a semi-transmissive layer. The organic material layer is, for example, organic compounds or organic metal compounds with electronic conductivity, and the material is, for example, CuPc ( Copper phthalocyanine), and the semi-transmissive layer is made of, for example, a thin metal, and the material is, for example, aluminum metal (Alumirmm).

The light in the organic electroluminescent display element is generated by the organic functional layer 204. Although the traveling direction of the generated light is arbitrary, the metal cathode 206 can be regarded as a reflective layer, so the light can only be directed to the transparent substrate 200. Outgoing. The light coming out of the transparent substrate 200 is usually affected by external light, making it less recognizable.

Introduce (、 7) When organic electro-excitation light display elements are used, the interface between air and transparent substrate 200 and the interface between transparent substrate 200 and transparent anode 202 The interface between the organic functional layer 204 and the metal cathode 206 is reflected, and then it is transmitted toward the transparent substrate 200. The reflected light Wi at the interface between the air and the transparent substrate 200 accounts for about 4%, and the reflected light W2 at the interface between the transparent substrate 200 and the transparent anode 202 is about It accounts for 0.8%, and the reflected light W3 at the interface between the organic functional layer 204 and the metal cathode 206 exceeds 90%. It can be seen that most of the reflected light is generated by the reflection of the metal cathode 206. In other words, the interface between the organic functional layer 204 and the metal cathode 206 is the main source of reflected light.

Invention Organometallic Compounds, and the semi-transmissive layer 306b was made of a thinner metal, for example. The material of the organic material layer 306a is, for example, CuPc (Copper phthalocyanine), and the material of the semi-transmissive layer 306b is, for example, aluminum. The light absorbing layer 306 composed of the organic material layer 306a and the semi-transmissive layer 306b has the effect of optical interference. The optical destructive interference effect can reduce the reflectance of external light, thereby effectively improving the contrast of the display element. In other words, when the external light is incident on the interface between the semi-transmissive layer 306b and the organic functional layer 304, a part of the light L may be reflected and a part of the light may penetrate. The light penetrating the semi-transmissive layer 306b will be reflected by the cathode 308 and turned back, and the light reflected by the cathode 308 and turned back will also partially penetrate the light L2 and partially reflect. In addition, there may be multiple reflections between the semi-transmissive layer 306b and the metal cathode 308 before being emitted by the element, such as light L3. In this embodiment, by adjusting the thickness of the organic material layer 306a, the optical path difference between the light Im, the light L2, and the light L3 satisfies the condition of destructive interference, thereby reducing the intensity of the reflected light to a minimum and improving the contrast. the goal of.

It can be easily understood from the figure that the organic electroluminescent diode display element having a light absorbing layer according to the present invention has better contrast performance than the conventional organic electroluminescent diode display element.
