Description
This application claims the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Applications No. 10-2012-0158195, filed on Dec. 31, 2012 and No. 10-2013-0062631, filed on May 31, 2013, which are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
The present disclosure relates to an organic light emitting display device, and more particularly, to an organic light emitting display device having reduced driving voltage and increased lifespan by doping a P-type charge generation layer with a hole transport material.
There is continuous progress in the development of slim, lightweight, and portable devices with improved performance for an image display device, which displays a variety of information on a screen as a core technology in advanced information and communication. Organic light emitting display devices that display an image by adjusting an amount of light emitted from an organic light emitting layer are recently receiving attention as flat panel display devices having reduced weight and volume, which are drawbacks of cathode ray tubes (CRTs). Organic light emitting display devices are considered most competitive because they do not need a separate light source and realize a compact device design and vivid color reproduction.
In this regard, the organic light emitting device (OLED) that is a self-emissive device fabricated by interposing a thin lighting emitting layer between electrodes may have a paper-like thin layered structure. Particularly, the organic light emitting device includes an anode, a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a light emitting layer (EML), an electron transport layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), and a cathode.
As described above, an organic light emitting device used in the organic light emitting display device generally has a single-stack structure. However, applications of a multi-stack structure continue to grow.
The organic light emitting device having a multi-stack structure includes an anode, a cathode, and a first stack, a charge generation layer, and a second stack, which are sequentially stacked between the anode and the cathode.
Here, the first stack includes a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer, which are disposed on the anode, and the second stack includes a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer.
The charge generation layer is disposed between the first and second stacks to control charge balance therebetween and includes an N-type charge generation layer and a P-type charge generation layer.
Here, the P-type charge generation layer generates holes and electrons, injects the electrons into the N-type charge generation layer, and injects the holes into the hole transport layer of the second stack. Currently, the P-type charge generation layer is formed of HAT(CN)6 alone. However, since HAT(CN)6 has inefficient hole generation and hole injection, an organic light emitting device including the same may have increased driving voltage and decreased lifespan.
An organic light emitting display device includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a substrate opposite to each other, a first stack including a hole injection layer, a first hole transport layer, a first light emitting layer, and a first electron transport layer sequentially stacked on the first electrode, a second stack including a second hole transport layer, a second light emitting layer, and a second electron transport layer sequentially stacked between the first stack and the second electrode, and a charge generation layer disposed between the first stack and the second stack and including an N-type charge generation layer and a P-type charge generation layer to control charge balance between the first and second stacks. The P-type charge generation layer is doped with 1% to 20% of a hole transport material based on a volume of the P-type charge generation layer.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this application, illustrate embodiment(s) of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principle of the invention. In the drawings:
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1A through 8B .
The organic light emitting display device according to the illustrated embodiment includes a substrate in which a display region is defined with a plurality of sub-pixel regions arranged in a matrix form and a sealing substrate or a thin-film encapsulation substrate for protecting sub-pixels formed on the substrate from moisture or oxygen.
The plurality of sub-pixel regions includes an R sub-pixel region, a G sub-pixel region, a B sub-pixel region, and a W sub-pixel region, and the R, G, B, and W sub-pixel regions are arrayed in a matrix form so as to display an image. The R, G, B, and W sub-pixel region may be arrayed in a matrix with 1 row and 4 columns along the same line as a gate line as illustrated in FIG. 1A or may be arranged in a matrix form with 4 rows and 1 column along the same line as a data line as illustrated in FIG. 1B . Here, the sub-pixel regions are arranged in the order of the R, G, B, and W sub-pixel regions, but may also be arranged in the order of the R, B, G, and W sub-pixel regions and the order of W, R, G, and B sub-pixel regions. The order of arrangement may be changed by a user without limitation.
The R, B, G, and W sub-pixel regions may also be arrayed in a matrix with 2 rows and 2 columns as illustrated in FIGS. 1B and 1C . For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1B , the R sub-pixel region may be formed at an intersection between a (2i−1)th data line DL2i−1 and a (2i−1)th gate line GL2i−1, in which i is a natural number of 1 or greater. The G sub-pixel region may be formed at an intersection between a 2ith data line DL2i and the (2i−1)th gate line GL2i− 1. The B sub-pixel region may be formed at an intersection between the (2i−1)th data line DL2i−1 and the 2ith gate line GL2i. The W sub-pixel region may be formed between at an intersection between the 2ith data line DL2i and the 2ith gate line GL2i.
In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 10 , the R sub-pixel region may be formed at an intersection between the (2i−1)th data line DL2i−1 and the (2i−1)th gate line GL2i− 1. The B sub-pixel region may be formed at an intersection between the 2ith data line DL2i and the (2i−1)th gate line GL2i− 1. The G sub-pixel region may be formed at an intersection between the (2i−1)th data line DL2i−1 and the 2ith gate line GL2i. The W sub-pixel region may be formed at an intersection between the 2ith data line DL2i and the 2ith gate line GL2i.
Each of the R, G, B, and W sub-pixel regions includes a cell drive unit 200 and a white organic light emitting device connected to the cell drive unit 200.
The cell drive unit 200 includes a switching thin film transistor TS that is connected to the gate line GL and the data line DL, a driving thin film transistor TD that is connected to the switching thin film transistor TS and between a power line PL and a first electrode 242 of the white organic light emitting device, and a storage capacitor C that is connected between the power line PL and a drain electrode 110 of the switching thin film transistor TS. The sub-pixel regions may have a structure including a switching transistor, a driving transistor, a capacitor, and an organic light emitting device or a structure further including a transistor and a capacitor. In addition, the driving thin film transistor may be directly connected to the first electrode of the white organic light emitting device, or another thin film transistor may further be formed between the driving thin film transistor and the white organic light emitting device.
The gate electrode of the switching thin film transistor TS is connected to the gate line G, the source electrode is connected to the data line DL, and the drain electrode is connected to the gate electrode of the driving thin film transistor TD and the storage capacitor C. The source electrode of the driving thin film transistor TD is connected to the power line PL, and the drain electrode 110 is connected to the first electrode 242. The storage capacitor C is connected between the power line PL and the gate electrode of the driving thin film transistor TD.
The switching thin film transistor TS is turned on when a scan pulse is supplied to the gate line GL to provide a data signal supplied to the data line DL to the storage capacitor C and the gate electrode of the driving thin film transistor TD. The driving thin film transistor TD controls current I supplied from the power line PL to the organic light emitting device in response to the data signal supplied to the gate electrode, thereby controlling the amount of light emitted by the organic light emitting device. In addition, even when the switching thin film transistor TS is turned off, the driving thin film transistor TD supplies a constant current I by a voltage charged in the storage capacitor c until a data signal of a subsequent frame is supplied thereto, so that emission of the organic light emitting device is maintained.
The driving thin film transistor TD includes, as illustrated in FIG. 2 , a gate electrode 102 formed on a substrate 100 and connected to the gate line GL, a gate insulating layer 112 formed on the gate electrode 102, an oxide semiconductor layer 114 formed to overlap the gate electrode 102 such that the gate insulating layer 112 is interposed therebetween, an etch stopper 106 formed on the oxide semiconductor layer 114 to prevent the oxide semiconductor layer 114 from being damaged by oxygen, a source electrode 108 connected to the data line DL, and a drain electrode 110 formed to face the source electrode 108. A first passivation layer 118 is further formed on the driving thin film transistor TD.
The oxide semiconductor layer 114 is formed of an oxide including at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Zn, Cd, Ga, In, Sn, IIf, and Zr. The thin film transistor including the oxide semiconductor layer 114 has higher charge mobility and lower leakage current characteristics, compared with a thin film transistor including a silicon semiconductor layer. Furthermore, since the silicon semiconductor layer-containing thin film transistor is fabricated via a high-temperature process by crystallizing the silicon semiconductor layer, uniformity decreases during the crystallization process as the area of the silicon semiconductor layer increases. On the other hand, the oxide semiconductor layer 114-containing thin film transistor may be processed at a low temperature so as to be suitable to a large area.
An R color filter 124R, a G color filter 124G, and a B color filter 124B are formed on the first passivation layer 118. The R color filter 124R is formed on the first passivation layer 118 at the R sub-pixel region, and red light R is emitted as white light emitted from the white organic light emitting device passes through the R color filter 124R. The G color filter 324G is formed on the first passivation layer 318 at the G sub-pixel region, and green light G is emitted as white light emitted from the white organic light emitting device passes through the G color filter 324G. The B color filter 324B is formed on the first passivation layer 318 at the B sub-pixel region, and blue light B is emitted as white light emitted from the white organic light emitting device passes through the B color filter 324B. A color filter is not formed on the first passivation layer 118 at the W sub-pixel region, and white light W is emitted therefrom. In addition, a second passivation layer 126 is formed on each of the R, G, and B color filters 124R, 124G, and 124B.
Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 , the white organic light emitting device has a multi-stack structure including a first electrode 242 connected to the drain electrode 110 of the driving thin film transistor TD, a second electrode opposite to the first electrode 242, a bank insulating layer 130 having a bank hole exposing the first electrode 242, and a first stack 210, a charge generation layer 220, and a second stack 230, which are disposed between the first electrode 242 and the second electrode 244. Such white organic light emitting device having a multi-stack structure includes at least two stacks respectively including light emitting layers emitting light of different colors. White light is produced as light of different colors emitted from the light emitting layers are mixed. In addition, a bottom-emission type in which light emitted from first and second light emitting layers 218 and 234 is emitted toward the bottom side is illustrated in FIG. 3 . However, the white organic light emitting device according to the first embodiment may also be manufactured as a top-emission type or both side-emission type, without being limited thereto.
The first electrode 242, as an anode, is a transparent conductive electrode formed of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO).
The second electrode 244, as a cathode, is formed of a reflective metallic material such as aluminum (Al). The second electrode 244 may be formed of gold (Au), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), LiF, or an alloy of aluminum and LiF.
The first stack 210 is disposed between the first electrode 242 and the charge generation layer 220 and includes a hole injection layer (HIL) 214, a first hole transport layer (HTL1) 216, a first light emitting layer (EML1) 218, and a first electron transport layer (ETL1) 212, which are sequentially stacked. In this regard, the first light emitting layer 218 is a light emitting layer including a fluorescent blue dopant and a host and emits blue light. In addition, a hole transport layer formed of a different material from the first hole transport layer 216 may further be disposed between the first hole transport layer 216 and the first light emitting layer 218, and an electron transport layer formed of a different material from the first electron transport layer 212 may further be disposed between the first electron transport layer 212 and an N-type charge generation layer 220a.
The second stack 230 is disposed between the second electrode 244 and the charge generation layer 220 and includes a second hole transport layer (HTL2) 232, a second light emitting layer (EML2) 234, and a second electron transport layer (ETL2) 236, which are sequentially stacked. In this regard, the second light emitting layer 234 is a light emitting layer including one or two hosts and a phosphorescent yellow-green dopant and emits yellow-green light. Alternatively, the second light emitting layer 234 may include one or two hosts and a phosphorescent red-green dopant. A hole transport layer formed of a different material from the second hole transport layer 232 may further be disposed between the second hole transport layer 232 and the second light emitting layer 234, and an electron transport layer formed of a different material from the second electron transport layer 236 may further be disposed between the second electron transport layer 236 and the second electrode 244.
As described above, the first light emitting layer 218 of the first stack 210 may include a fluorescent blue dopant and a host, and the second light emitting layer 234 of the second stack 230 may include one or two hosts and a phosphorescent yellow-green dopant. Alternatively, the first light emitting layer 218 of the first stack 210 may include a fluorescent blue dopant and a host, and the second light emitting layer 234 of the second stack 230 may include one or two hosts, a phosphorescent red dopant, and a phosphorescent green dopant.
The charge generation layer (CGL) 220 is disposed between the stacks to control charge balance therebetween. The charge generation layer 220 includes a P-type charge generation layer (P-CGL) 220b that is disposed adjacent to the second stack 230 and performs generation and injection of electrons and holes and an N-type charge generation layer (N-CGL) 220a that injects electrons into the first electron transport layer 212 of the first stack 210.
In other words, the P-type charge generation layer 220b generates holes and electrons, injects the generated holes into the second hole transport layer 232 of the adjacent second stack 230, and injects the generated electrons into the N-type charge generation layer 220a. The P-type charge generation layer 220b may be doped with 1% to 20% of a hole transport material to facilitate generation of holes and injection of the holes into the second hole transport layer 232 of the second stack 230.
The hole transport material doped in the P-type charge generation layer 220b may have a mobility of 5.0×10−5 cm2/Vs to 1.0×10−2 cm2/Vs. The hole transport material doped in the P-type charge generation layer 220b may have a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of 5.0 eV to 6.0 eV and a lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of 2.0 eV to 3.5 eV. For example, the hole transport material doped in the P-type charge generation layer 220b may include at least one selected from the group consisting of N,N-dinaphthyl-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine (NPD), N,N′-bis-3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-bis-(phenyl)-benzidine) (TPD), s-TAD, and 4,4′,4″-tris(N-3-methylphenyl-N-phenyl-amino)-triphenylamine (MTDATA). Meanwhile, the P-type charge generation layer 220b may be doped with one hole transport material or two or more hole transport materials to obtain the same effects.
HAT(CN)6 is generally used to form the P-type charge generation layer 220b. The P-type charge generation layer 220b formed of HAT(CN)6 may have high driving voltage or reduced lifespan due to inefficient hole generation and hole injection.
However, a white organic light emitting display device including a P-type charge generation layer 220b formed of HAT(CN)6 doped with the hole transport material has a decreased driving voltage of 0.7 V to 0.9 V and an increased lifespan by 6% to 23% compared to a white organic light emitting display device including a P-type charge generation layer formed only of HAT(CN)6.
As described above, when the P-type charge generation layer 220b is doped with the hole transport material, holes are efficiently injected into the second hole transport layer 232, thereby reducing driving voltage.
Meanwhile, the second hole transport layer 232 of the second stack 320 may be formed by co-depositing the P-type charge generation layer 220b doped with the hole transport material and the second hole transport layer 232 of the second stack 230.
In addition, a buffer layer may further be disposed between the P-type charge generation layer 220b doped with the hole transport material and the N-type charge generation layer 220a.

However, as illustrated in FIGS. 16A to 16D , the P-type charge generation layer may have a multilayer structure.
Referring to FIGS. 16A and 16B , the second P-type charge generation layer 120b has a double-layered structure such that two layers of the second P-type charge generation layer 120b are disposed alternately with two layers of the first P-type charge generation layer 120a in the P-type charge generation layer 220b. Here, the thickness of one first P-type charge generation layer 120a disposed between the N-type charge generation layer 220a and the second P-type charge generation layer 120b closer to the N-type charge generation layer is greater than the other first P-type charge generation layer 120a disposed in the P-type charge generation layer 220b, as illustrated in FIG. 16A . Then, the thickness of one first P-type charge generation layer 120a disposed between the second hole transport layer 232 and the second P-type charge generation layer 120b disposed closer to the hole transport layer 232 may be greater than the thickness of the other first P-type charge generation layer 120a disposed in the P-type charge generation layer 220b as illustrated in FIG. 16B . In FIG. 16C , the second P-type charge generation layers 120b are disposed at both surfaces of the first P-type charge generation layer 120a. Three second P-type charge generation layers 120b are disposed alternately with the first P-type charge generation layer 120a in the P-type charge generation layer 220b in FIG. 16D . Meanwhile, at least one second P-type charge generation layer 120b among the plurality of second P-type charge generation layers 120b illustrated in FIGS. 16A to 16D may be doped with the same dopant as the other second P-type charge generation layers 120b or a different dopant including a different hole transport material. In addition, at least one second P-type charge generation layer 120b among the plurality of the second P-type charge generation layers 120b illustrated in FIGS. 16A to 16D may be doped at the same doping concentration as the other second P-type charge generation layers 120b.
Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 17 , the white organic light emitting device according to the present invention may further include an electron blocking layer 246 disposed between the second hole transport layer 246 and the second light emitting layer 234. The electron blocking layer 246 is formed of a material having higher electron blocking capability than the hole blocking capability. Accordingly, the electron blocking layer 246 blocks electrons generated in the charge generation layer 220 from entering the second light emitting layer 234. The same effect may also be obtained by doping the P-type charge generation layer 120b with a material used to form the electron blocking layer 246 and the hole transport material without using the electron blocking layer 246.
As is apparent from the above description, the organic light emitting display device according to the present invention has a multi-stack structure including a first stack including a first light emitting layer, a charge generation layer including a P-type charge generation layer and an N-type charge generation layer, and a second stack including a second light emitting layer. In the P-type charge generation layer, 1 to 20% of a hole transport material is doped in the P-type charge generation layer based on the volume of the P-type charge generation layer. Thus, hole generation and hole injection are facilitated, and the organic light emitting display device may have decreased driving voltage and increased lifespan.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventions. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
