Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electroluminescence device, and a method for fabricating the electroluminescence device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a nanocrystal electroluminescence device comprising a polymer hole transport layer, a nanocrystal light-emitting layer and an organic electron transport layer wherein the nanocrystal light-emitting layer is independently and separately formed between the polymer hole transport layer and the organic electron transport layer, and a method for fabricating the nanocrystal electroluminescence device.
- a nanocrystal is defined as a material having a crystal structure at the nanometer-scale level, and consists of a few hundred to a few thousand atoms. Since the small-sized nanocrystal has a large surface area per unit volume, most of the atoms constituting the nanocrystal are present at the surface of the nanocrystal. Based on this structure, the nanocrystal exhibits quantum confinement effects, and shows electrical, magnetic, optical, chemical and mechanical properties different from those inherent to the constituent atoms of the nanocrystal. That is, the control over the physical size of the nanocrystal enables the control of various properties.
- Vapor deposition processes such as metal organic chemical deposition (MOCVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) have been conventionally used to prepare nanocrystals.
- MOCVD metal organic chemical deposition
- MBE molecular beam epitaxy
- a wet chemistry technique wherein a precursor material is added to an organic solvent to grow nanocrystals to a desired size has made remarkable progress in the past decade.
- the organic solvent is naturally coordinated to the surface of the quantum dot crystals and acts as a dispersant. Accordingly, the organic solvent allows the crystals to grow to the nanometer-scale level.
- the wet chemistry technique has an advantage in that nanocrystals can be uniformly prepared in size and shape in a relatively simple manner at low cost, compared to conventional vapor deposition processes, e.g., MOCVD and MBE.
- nanocrystals prepared by the wet chemistry technique are commonly separated and are then dispersed in an organic solvent, techniques for forming a thin film of the nanocrystals in a solid state are required in order to apply the nanocrystals to electroluminescence devices.
- PCT publication WO/03/084292 teaches a device wherein a layer of an organic-inorganic hybrid matrix containing nanocrystals is disposed between two electrodes. Specifically, the device is fabricated by mixing nanocrystals and a low molecular weight hole transporting material, such as N,N-diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1-biphenyl)-4,4-diamine (TPD), with a solvent, and spin coating the mixture on an electrode.
- a low molecular weight hole transporting material such as N,N-diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1-biphenyl)-4,4-diamine (TPD)
- a nanocrystal layer is formed on top of a hole transport layer due to the difference in the intermolecular force or density between the nanocrystals and the hole transporting material.
- the hole transporting material is mixed with the nanocrystals in the transport layer. Accordingly, the overlying electron transport layer is in contact with the hole transport layer, and thus the hole and electron transport layers as well as the nanocrystal layer emit light.
- the PCT publication discloses a technique for arranging a hole blocking layer on a thin film of the hole transport layer containing the nanocrystals, followed by forming the electron transport layer on the hole blocking layer.
- the hole transporting material mixed with the nanocrystals has a low molecular weight. If a polymer is used as the hole transporting material, its solubility is low and thus the polymer is limited to material which can be dissolved in solvents which dissolve the nanocrystal. Although the polymer which can be dissolved are used, the solubility of the polymer is not sufficiently high, rendering it difficult to control the thickness of the nanocrystal layer and the hole transport layer.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,049,090 describes a device wherein a mixed layer of nanocrystals and a matrix as a light-emitting layer is disposed between two electrodes.
- the matrix is selected to have a wider bandgap energy, a higher conduction band energy level and a lower valence band energy level than the nanocrystals so as to allow the nanocrystals to emit light well and trap electrons and holes in nanocrystals, thereby enhancing the luminescence efficiency of the device.
- the conventional electroluminescence devices employing nanocrystals as luminescent materials are devices wherein the nanocrystals have functions of light emission in combination with charge transport, are mixed with a hole transporting material to form a mixed layer, or are mixed with a hole transporting material and coated to form a nanocrystal layer separately formed on a hole transport layer due to the density difference depending on the processing conditions.
- the conventional electroluminescence devices provide a pure nanocrystal luminescence spectrum, they have a problem of low color purity.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the related art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an electroluminescence device comprising a polymer hole transport layer, a nanocrystal light-emitting layer and an organic electron transport layer wherein the nanocrystal light-emitting layer is independently and separately formed between the polymer hole transport layer and the organic electron transport layer, thereby providing a pure nanocrystal luminescence spectrum and increasing the color purity of the electroluminescence device.
- an electroluminescence device comprising a polymer hole transport layer, a nanocrystal light-emitting layer and an organic electron transport layer wherein the nanocrystal light-emitting layer in contact with the polymer hole transport layer is separately formed between the polymer hole transport layer and the organic electron transport layer.

Description
- This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a) on Korean Patent Application No. 42200 filed on Jun. 9, 2004 which is herein expressly incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an electroluminescence device, and a method for fabricating the electroluminescence device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a nanocrystal electroluminescence device comprising a polymer hole transport layer, a nanocrystal light-emitting layer and an organic electron transport layer wherein the nanocrystal light-emitting layer is independently and separately formed between the polymer hole transport layer and the organic electron transport layer, and a method for fabricating the nanocrystal electroluminescence device.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A nanocrystal is defined as a material having a crystal structure at the nanometer-scale level, and consists of a few hundred to a few thousand atoms. Since the small-sized nanocrystal has a large surface area per unit volume, most of the atoms constituting the nanocrystal are present at the surface of the nanocrystal. Based on this structure, the nanocrystal exhibits quantum confinement effects, and shows electrical, magnetic, optical, chemical and mechanical properties different from those inherent to the constituent atoms of the nanocrystal. That is, the control over the physical size of the nanocrystal enables the control of various properties.
- Vapor deposition processes, such as metal organic chemical deposition (MOCVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), have been conventionally used to prepare nanocrystals. On the other hand, a wet chemistry technique wherein a precursor material is added to an organic solvent to grow nanocrystals to a desired size has made remarkable progress in the past decade. According to the wet chemistry technique, as the crystals are grown, the organic solvent is naturally coordinated to the surface of the quantum dot crystals and acts as a dispersant. Accordingly, the organic solvent allows the crystals to grow to the nanometer-scale level. The wet chemistry technique has an advantage in that nanocrystals can be uniformly prepared in size and shape in a relatively simple manner at low cost, compared to conventional vapor deposition processes, e.g., MOCVD and MBE.
- However, since nanocrystals prepared by the wet chemistry technique are commonly separated and are then dispersed in an organic solvent, techniques for forming a thin film of the nanocrystals in a solid state are required in order to apply the nanocrystals to electroluminescence devices.
- In nanocrystal electroluminescence devices reported hitherto, the nanocrystals are used as luminescent materials, or have functions of light emission, in combination with charge transport. The first electroluminescence device employing nanocrystals was suggested in U.S. Pat. No. 5,537,000. The electroluminescence device is formed using one or more layers of nanocrystals as an electron transport layer, and preferably capable of emitting light. Accordingly, the luminescence wavelengths of the electroluminescence device are varied in response to the changes in the voltages applied to the device.
- PCT publication WO/03/084292 teaches a device wherein a layer of an organic-inorganic hybrid matrix containing nanocrystals is disposed between two electrodes. Specifically, the device is fabricated by mixing nanocrystals and a low molecular weight hole transporting material, such as N,N-diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1-biphenyl)-4,4-diamine (TPD), with a solvent, and spin coating the mixture on an electrode. When the coating conditions and the mixing ratio between the nanocrystals and the hole transporting material are appropriately controlled, a nanocrystal layer is formed on top of a hole transport layer due to the difference in the intermolecular force or density between the nanocrystals and the hole transporting material. However, although the nanocrystal layer is formed on top of the hole transport layer, the hole transporting material is mixed with the nanocrystals in the transport layer. Accordingly, the overlying electron transport layer is in contact with the hole transport layer, and thus the hole and electron transport layers as well as the nanocrystal layer emit light. To solve this problem, the PCT publication discloses a technique for arranging a hole blocking layer on a thin film of the hole transport layer containing the nanocrystals, followed by forming the electron transport layer on the hole blocking layer. Meanwhile, the hole transporting material mixed with the nanocrystals has a low molecular weight. If a polymer is used as the hole transporting material, its solubility is low and thus the polymer is limited to material which can be dissolved in solvents which dissolve the nanocrystal. Although the polymer which can be dissolved are used, the solubility of the polymer is not sufficiently high, rendering it difficult to control the thickness of the nanocrystal layer and the hole transport layer.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,049,090 describes a device wherein a mixed layer of nanocrystals and a matrix as a light-emitting layer is disposed between two electrodes. According to the device, the matrix is selected to have a wider bandgap energy, a higher conduction band energy level and a lower valence band energy level than the nanocrystals so as to allow the nanocrystals to emit light well and trap electrons and holes in nanocrystals, thereby enhancing the luminescence efficiency of the device.
- As stated above, the conventional electroluminescence devices employing nanocrystals as luminescent materials are devices wherein the nanocrystals have functions of light emission in combination with charge transport, are mixed with a hole transporting material to form a mixed layer, or are mixed with a hole transporting material and coated to form a nanocrystal layer separately formed on a hole transport layer due to the density difference depending on the processing conditions. However, since none of these conventional electroluminescence devices provide a pure nanocrystal luminescence spectrum, they have a problem of low color purity.
- Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the related art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an electroluminescence device comprising a polymer hole transport layer, a nanocrystal light-emitting layer and an organic electron transport layer wherein the nanocrystal light-emitting layer is independently and separately formed between the polymer hole transport layer and the organic electron transport layer, thereby providing a pure nanocrystal luminescence spectrum and increasing the color purity of the electroluminescence device.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for fabricating the electroluminescence device wherein materials for a hole transport layer can be selected, regardless of the solubility in a solvent which disperses nanocrystals.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the above objects can be accomplished by an electroluminescence device comprising a polymer hole transport layer, a nanocrystal light-emitting layer and an organic electron transport layer wherein the nanocrystal light-emitting layer in contact with the polymer hole transport layer is separately formed between the polymer hole transport layer and the organic electron transport layer.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for fabricating the electroluminescence device, comprising the steps of: patterning a hole-injecting anode on a substrate and forming a polymer hole transport layer thereon; coating a nanocrystal dispersion on the polymer hole transport layer to form a nanocrystal light-emitting layer; forming an organic electron transport layer on the nanocrystal light-emitting layer; and forming an electron-injecting cathode on the organic electron transport layer.

The nanocrystal light-emitting layer thus formed is separated from the polymer hole transport layer. Thereafter, an organic electron transport layer and an electron-injecting cathode are sequentially formed on the nanocrystal light-emitting layer.

FIG. 2 shows cross-sectional views illustrating the steps of the method for fabricating the electroluminescence device shown inFIG. 1 , in accordance with the present invention. Referring toFIG. 2 , a hole-injectinganode 20 is patterned on asubstrate 10, and then a polymer hole transporting material is coated on thesubstrate 10 by various coating processes, such as spin coating, to form a polymerhole transport layer 30. The polymerhole transport layer 30 is then baked into a rigid thin film so that the polymer hole transport layer is not damaged in the subsequent formation step of a nanocrystal light-emitting layer. Next, a nanocrystal dispersion is coated on the polymerhole transport layer 30 by various coating processes, such as spin coating, to form a nanocrystal light-emitting layer 4. At this time, the nanocrystal dispersion is prepared by dispersing nanocrystals in a solvent which does not substantially dissolve the polymerhole transport layer 30. Thereafter, an organicelectron transport layer 50 is formed on the nanocrystal light-emittinglayer 40, and then a cathode is formed thereon to form the final electroluminescence device. - The
substrate 10 on which theanode 20 is patterned is commonly washed with solvents, such as a neutral detergent, deionized water, acetone and isopropyl alcohol, and is then subjected to UV-ozone and plasma treatment. - According to the method of the present invention, the nanocrystal light-emitting layer is formed in accordance with the following procedure. Nanocrystals surface-bound by a photosensitive compound are dispersed in a solvent which does not damage the polymer hole transport layer to obtain a nanocrystal dispersion. The nanocrystal dispersion is coated on the polymer hole transport layer to form a thin film of the nanocrystals. Altematively, nanocrystals surface-bound by a material containing no photosensitive functional group and a photosensitive compound are dispersed in a solvent which does not damage the polymer hole transport layer to obtain a nanocrystal dispersion. The nanocrystal dispersion is coated on the polymer hole transport layer to form a thin film of the nanocrystals.
- The solvent which does not damage the hole transport layer and can disperse the nanocrystals is selected from the group consisting of water, pyridine, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, toluene, chloroform, chlorobenzene, THF, cyclohexane, cyclohexene, methylene chloride, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane, undecane, dodecane, and mixtures thereof.
- Prior to coating the organic electron transporting material on the nanocrystal light-emitting
layer 40, the nanocrystal light-emittinglayer 40 can be exposed to UV light at a wavelength of 200 nm to 450 nm to crosslink it. The luminescence wavelength of the nanocrystal light-emittinglayer 40 is in the range of 350 nm to 1,300 nm. - The solvent which does not damage the nanocrystal light-emitting layer, the polymer hole transporting material, and the hole transport layer, and can disperse the nanocrystals is as described above. The concentration of the nanocrystal dispersion is preferably between 0.01 wt % and 10 wt %, more preferably between 0.1 wt % and 5 wt %, and most preferably between 0.2 wt % and 2 wt %.
- As the material for the organic
electron transport layer 50, a low- or high-molecular weight material can be used. Vacuum deposition and wet coating can be employed as the coating processes. The first process for forming the organicelectron transport layer 50 by wet coating is performed by the following procedure. Nanocrystals surface-bound by a photosensitive compound are formed into a thin film of the nanocrystals, and exposed to UV light to crosslink the thin film, thereby making the thin film insoluble in a solvent containing an electron transporting material. Thereafter, the organic electron transporting material is wet-coated on the nanocrystal layer to form the organicelectron transport layer 50. The second process for forming the organicelectron transport layer 50 by wet coating is performed by the following procedure. Nanocrystals surface-bound by a material containing no photosensitive functional group, and a photosensitive compound are thoroughly mixed, formed into a thin film of the nanocrystals, and exposed to UV light to crosslink the photosensitive material, thereby forming a network structure. The network structure traps the nanocrystals, which makes the thin film insoluble in a solvent containing an electron transporting material. Thereafter, the organic electron transporting material is wet-coated on the nanocrystal layer to form the organicelectron transport layer 50. - The organic material surface-bound to the nanocrystals contains at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of acetyl, acetic acid, phosphine, phosphonic acid, alcohol, vinyl, carboxyl, amide, phenyl, amine, acryl, silane, cyano and thiol groups at one or both terminals of its alkyl chain or aromatic moiety.
- The photosensitive compound surface-bound to the nanocrystals contains a double bond, a carboxyl group, an amide group, a phenyl group, a biphenyl group, a peroxide group, an amine group, an acryl group, or the like.
- The method for fabricating the electroluminescence device according to the present invention may further comprise the step of inserting a hole injection layer between the anode and the hole transport layer; inserting an electron blocking layer between the light-emitting layer and the hole transport layer; or inserting a hole blocking layer between the nanocrystal light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer.

The organic hole transporting material used herein may be a low- or high-molecular weight material.FIG. 3 a shows a state wherein after a mixture of nanocrystals and a organic hole transporting material is spin-coated, a nanocrystal layer is formed on top of a hole transport layer due to the difference in the intermolecular force or density between the nanocrystals and the hole transporting material. However, although thenanocrystals 25 can form a layer partially separated from the hole transporting material, most of the hole transporting material is mixed with the nanocrystals in the nanocrystal layer.FIG. 3 b shows a state whereinnanocrystals 25 are uniformly dispersed in a hole transporting material to form one mixed layer.FIG. 3 c shows a state wherein a nanocrystal light-emittinglayer 40 is completely separated from ahole transport layer 30 by the method of the present invention shown inFIG. 2 . - The fabrication of the electroluminescence device of the present invention does not require particular fabrication apparatuses and methods, in addition to the formation of the independent and separate nanocrystal light-emitting layer. The electroluminescence device of the present invention can be fabricated in accordance with conventional fabrication methods using common luminescent materials.
- To form the
hole transport layer 30 and theelectron transport layer 50 into thin films, spin coating, dip coating, spray coating, blade coating, and other coating processes can be used. The exposure of the thin films used in the method of the present invention may be carried out by a contact exposure or non-contact exposure process. Theelectron transport layer 50 can be formed on the nanocrystal light-emittinglayer 40 by thermal deposition, molecular deposition or chemical deposition. - After formation of the thin films, drying can be carried out at 20° C.˜300° C. and preferably 40° C.˜120° C. In addition, the energy for photosensitization treatment is dependent on the thickness of the thin films, and is preferably between 50 mJ/cM2 and 850 mJ/cm2. When the exposure energy is out of this range, sufficient crosslinking is not likely to take place, or there is a risk of damage to the thin film. Light sources usable for the light exposure preferably have an energy in the range of about 100 W to about 800 W at an effective wavelength of 200˜500 nm and preferably 300˜400 nm.

A solution of 1 wt % of poly(9,9′-dioctylfluorene-co-N-(4-butylphenyl)diphenylamine (TFB) in chlorobenzene was spin-coated on the ITO-patterned substrate to a thickness of about 50 nm, and then baked at 180° C. for 10 minutes to form a hole transport layer. A dispersion of the CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals (1 wt %) prepared in Preparative Example 2 in octane was spin-coated on the hole transport layer, and dried to form a nanocrystal light-emitting layer having a thickness of about 5 nm. At this time, the octane used herein is a solvent which does not dissolve the hole transport layer.
- Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)-aluminum (Alq3) was deposited on the completely dried nanocrystal light-emitting layer to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of about 40 nm. LiF and aluminum were sequentially deposited on the electron transport layer to thicknesses of 1 nm and 200 nm, respectively, to form an electrode, thereby fabricating the final electroluminescence device.
-
FIG. 7 shows luminescence spectra of the electroluminescence device wherein the nanocrystal light-emifting layer was independently and separately formed, according to the changes in the voltages applied to the device. As shown inFIG. 7 , a luminescence peak having a full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of about 46 nm was observed around 530 nm. - This comparative example realizes a method for fabricating a conventional electroluminescence device wherein after a mixture of nanocrystals and a hole transporting material is coated, the resulting hole transport layer and nanocrystal layer are separated from each other due to the difference in the density of the nanocrystals, which results from phase separation arising during the coating.
- First, an ITO-pattemed glass substrate was sequentially washed with a neutral detergent, deionized water, water and isopropyl alcohol, and was then subjected to UV-ozone treatment. A solution of 1 wt % of poly(9,9′-dioctylfluorene-co-N-(4-butylphenyl)diphenylamine (TFB) and the CdSeS nanocrystals prepared in Preparative Example 1 in chlorobenzene was spin-coated on the ITO-patterned substrate, and then baked at 180° C. for 10 minutes to form a hole transport layer in which a nanocrystal light-emifting layer was included. At this time, the weight ratio of the TFB to the CdSeS nanocrystals was adjusted to 1:1.
- (3-4-Biphenyl)-4-phenyl-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (TAZ) was deposited on the completely dried hole transport layer to form a hole blocking layer having a thickness of 10 nm, and then tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)-aluminum (Alq3) was deposited thereon to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of about 30 nm. LiF and aluminum were sequentially deposited on the electron transport layer to thicknesses of 1 nm and 200 nm, respectively, to form an electrode, thereby fabricating the final electroluminescence device.
-
FIG. 8 shows luminescence spectra of the electroluminescence device according to the changes in the voltages applied to the device. It was confirmed fromFIG. 8 that the hole transport layer including the nanocrystal layer, as well as the electron transport layers emitted light. - As apparent from the foregoing, the electroluminescence device of the present invention has a direct transition-type bandgap ranging from the visible to the infrared range, and includes a nanocrystal light-emitting layer which is made of nanocrystals with enhanced luminescence efficiency and is independently and separately formed. Accordingly, the electroluminescence device of the present invention provides a pure nanocrystal luminescence spectrum having limited luminescence from other organic layers and substantially no influence by operational conditions, such as voltage, resulting in a high color purity. In addition, according to the method of the present invention, materials for a hole transport layer can be selected, regardless of the solubility in a solvent which disperses nanocrystals. Accordingly, the method of the present invention has an advantage in terms of improved workability.
- Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
