Description

DESCRIPTION
ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE DISPLAY APPARATUS
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescence (EL) display apparatus.
BACKGROUND ART Phosphorescence light emitting devices, which are superior in light emitting efficiency to fluorescence light emitting devices, are now beginning to be used as a member that constitutes a part of a display portion of an organic EL display apparatus. To give a specific example of this tendency, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002- 62824 discloses an organic EL display apparatus mounted with a phosphorescence light emitting device that emits red light, a fluorescence light emitting device that emits green light, and a fluorescence light emitting device that emits blue light in a mixed manner.
Phosphorescence light emitting devices have had a problem in that driving under a high current density condition lowers the light emitting efficiency (the phenomenon is called roll-off) . This phenomenon is caused by triplet-triplet annihilation (T-T annihilation) in which triplet excitons react with each other. T-T annihilation is a phenomenon unique to phosphorescence light emitting devices .
While the problem of phosphorescence light emitting devices has been revealed, the roll-off phenomenon unique to phosphorescence light emitting devices has not been taken into account in designing an organic EL display apparatus. Accordingly, driving a phosphorescence light emitting device under a high current density condition which lowers the efficiency has resulted in a problem of high power consumption.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been made in view of a problem in phosphorescence light emitting devices regarding dependence of light emitting efficiency on a current density, and an object of the present invention is to provide an organic EL display apparatus with reduced power consumption.
An organic electroluminescence display apparatus according to the present invention includes: a substrate; and a display portion which is provided on the substrate and which includes at least one type of fluorescence light emitting pixel and at least one type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel, wherein: the fluorescence light emitting pixel is a member that includes multiple fluorescence light emitting devices in which an anode, a fluorescence organic compound layer including a fluorescence emission layer, and a cathode are laminated in the stated order; the phosphorescence light emitting pixel is a member that includes multiple phosphorescence light emitting devices in which an anode, a phosphorescence organic compound layer including a phosphorescence emission layer, and a cathode are laminated in the stated order; and a total area of the phosphorescence light emitting pixel which emits light of a specific color is larger than a total area of the fluorescence light emitting pixel which emits light of another color.
The organic EL display apparatus of the present invention, in which the total area of the phosphorescence light emitting pixel, or the total area of each type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel, is larger than the total area of any type of fluorescence light emitting pixel, requires a small current density to drive the phosphorescence light emitting device (s) . This allows the organic EL display apparatus to choose a low current density condition, which is high in light emitting efficiency, as a condition for driving an organic light emitting device that emits phosphorescence. The present invention can thus provide the organic EL display apparatus with reduced power consumption. Further features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the attached drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An organic EL display apparatus of the present invention includes a substrate and a display portion provided on the substrate. The display portion is a member that includes at least one type of fluorescence light emitting pixel and at least one type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel.
A fluorescence light emitting pixel is a member that includes multiple fluorescence light emitting devices in which an anode, a fluorescence organic compound layer including a fluorescence emission layer, and a cathode are laminated in the stated order.
A phosphorescence light emitting pixel is a member that includes multiple phosphorescence light emitting devices in which an anode, a phosphorescence organic compound layer including a phosphorescence emission layer, and a cathode are laminated in the stated order.
The organic EL display apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the total area of a phosphorescence light emitting pixel that emits light of a specific color is larger than the total area of a fluorescence light emitting pixel that emits light of another color. Specifically, in the case where the organic EL display apparatus includes one type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel, the organic EL display apparatus is characterized in that the total area of the phosphorescence light emitting pixel is larger than the total area of a fluorescence light emitting pixel that emits light of another color. However, the total area of the phosphorescence light emitting pixel does not need to be larger than the total area of all types of fluorescence light emitting pixels combined. In the case where the organic EL display apparatus includes plural types of phosphorescence light emitting pixels, the organic EL display apparatus is characterized in that the total area of each type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel is larger than the total area of a fluorescence light emitting pixel that emits light of any other color. However, the total area of each type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel does not need to be larger than the total area of all types of fluorescence light emitting pixels combined.
"The total area of a phosphorescence light emitting pixel" is the sum of the areas of regions in which phosphorescence light emitting pixels of one type are provided. In the case where only one region includes this type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel, the areas of the one region correspond to "the total area of a phosphorescence light emitting pixel." In the case where multiple regions include this type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel, a value obtained by adding up the areas of the multiple regions corresponds to "the total area of a phosphorescence light emitting pixel."
"The total area of a fluorescence light emitting pixel" is the sum of the areas of regions in which fluorescence light emitting pixels of one type are provided. When there are plural types of fluorescence light emitting pixels, the total area of a fluorescence light emitting pixel is obtained by adding up the sum of the areas of regions that include fluorescence light emitting pixels. In the case where only one region includes one type of fluorescence light emitting pixel, the areas of the one region correspond to "the total area of a fluorescence light emitting pixel." In the case where multiple regions include one type of fluorescence light emitting pixel, a value obtained by adding up the areas of the multiple regions corresponds to "the total area of a fluorescence light emitting pixel." The organic EL display apparatus of the present invention thus includes as its constituent materials a fluorescence light emitting material which emits light by way of singlet excitons and a phosphorescence light emitting material which emits light by way of triplet excitons.
In an organic light emitting device that includes a fluorescent material (fluorescence light emitting device) , only singlet excitons which make up 25% of all excitons generated contribute to light emission. In an organic light emitting device that includes a phosphorescent material (phosphorescence light emitting device) , on the other hand, triplet excitons which make up the remaining 75% contribute to light emission as well. The light emitting efficiency is therefore higher in a phosphorescence light emitting device than in a fluorescence light emitting device.
However, phosphorescence light emitting devices experience a phenomenon in which increasing the current density lowers the light emitting efficiency instead of the opposite (roll-off phenomenon) . This is because an increase in current density causes T-T annihilation in the emission layer. The roll-off phenomenon is unique to phosphorescence light emitting devices.
This embodiment deals with the phenomenon by setting the total area of a phosphorescence light emitting pixel which emits phosphorescent light, or the total area of each type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel, larger than the total area of any type of fluorescence light emitting pixel. This way, a small current density is required to drive the organic EL display apparatus.
The organic EL display apparatus of the present invention is not limited to a particular driving method, and a phosphorescence light emitting device that is a constituent member of its phosphorescence light emitting pixel may be driven by a pulse-time modulation driving method. This driving method controls the gradation by making a device emit high luminance light and modulating the length of time in which the device emits light, and accordingly requires a high current density for driving. The organic EL display apparatus of the present invention, however, is capable of lowering the current density necessary for driving a phosphorescence light emitting device even in the pulse-time modulation driving method, and therefore consumes less power. The organic EL display apparatus of the present invention may arrange a fluorescence light emitting pixel and a phosphorescence light emitting pixel in a two- dimensional arrangement or an arrangement that stacks one pixel on top of another pixel. "Stacking" here means to stack two or more light emitting devices that emit light of different colors in at least one subpixel that is contained in the display portion constituting a part of the organic EL display apparatus. The term desirably means to stack at least one type of fluorescence light emitting pixel and at least one type of phosphorescence light emitting pixel in this subpixel.
The arrangement that stacks pixels on top of one another is described below. This arrangement is commonly known as a structure in which multiple organic compound layers are provided between a lower electrode and an upper electrode, and an intermediate electrode layer is provided between one of the organic compound layers and another of the organic compound layers. The number of organic compound layers in this arrangement is desirably two or three. Specific embodiments are described below.
As described above, the organic EL display apparatus of the present invention includes a phosphorescence light emitting material as its constituent material. Phosphorescence light emitting materials are roughly divided into red phosphorescence light emitting materials, green phosphorescence light emitting materials, and blue phosphorescence light emitting materials by the color of emitted light. Any phosphorescence light emitting material can be employed as long as the material is fit for practical use. "Fit for practical use" means, for example, that the material used has a life span required in practical use.
As an example of red phosphorescence light emitting materials, a mixture material of the following Compound 1 (host) and Compound 2 (guest) is given. The volume concentration ratio of Compound 1 and Compound 2 is 99.5:0.5.

Organic EL display apparatuses according to specific embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are only one example of embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. (Embodiment 1)
An organic EL display apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is described first.
FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating the organic EL display apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. An organic EL display apparatus 1 of FIG. 1 includes a substrate (not shown) on which a light emitting pixel that emits red light (R) , a light emitting pixel that emits green light (G) , and a light emitting pixel that emits blue light (B) are arranged two- dimensionally in a given order. One light emitting pixel R, one light emitting pixel G, and one light emitting pixel B are grouped together to form a pixel set 2. Pixels corresponding to this pixel set 2 are arranged two- dimensionally to form a display portion of the organic EL display apparatus 1. The light emitting pixels R, G, and B are each a member constituted of multiple organic light emitting devices that are arranged two-dimensionally . FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view illustrating an organic light emitting device that is contained in a light emitting pixel constituting a part of the organic EL display apparatus of FIG. 1. An organic light emitting device 10 of FIG. 2 includes on a substrate 11 a reflective electrode 12, a hole transport layer 13, an emission layer 14, an electron transport layer 15, an electron injection layer 16, and a cathode 17, which are laminated in the stated order. The organic light emitting device 10 of FIG. 2 is of top emission type in which light is taken out from the side of the cathode 17, but the present invention is not limited to this type.
In the organic light emitting device 10 of FIG. 2, the hole transport layer 13, the emission layer 14, the electron transport layer 15, and the electron injection layer 16 are laminated in the stated order to form an organic compound layer 18. The organic compound layer 18, however, is not limited to the mode illustrated in FIG. 2. Specific examples of other modes of the organic compound layer are given below: (i) Single layer type (emission layer) ;
(ii) Two-layer type (emission layer/hole injection layer) ; (iii) Three-layer type (electron transport layer/emission layer/hole transport layer) ;
(iv) Four-layer type (electron injection layer/emission layer/hole transport layer/hole injection layer) ; and
(v) Five-layer type (electron injection layer/electron transport layer/emission layer/hole transport layer/hole injection layer) .
Known organic materials (hole injection and transport materials, light emitting materials, and electron injection and transport materials) can be used as constituent materials of the organic compound layer 18. Further, known film formation methods such as a vacuum vapor deposition method can be employed to form the organic compound layer. The substrate 11 in the organic light emitting device of FIG. 2 may be constituted solely of a base such as a glass plate, or may be an active matrix substrate with TFTs or other switching devices (not shown) formed on the base. Alternatively, the substrate 11 may be a passive matrix substrate which does not require a TFT drive circuit.
The reflective electrode 12 in the organic light emitting device of FIG. 2 is an electrode made of a material reflective of light. In the organic light emitting device of FIG. 2, the reflective electrode 12 functions as an anode. The constituent material of the reflective electrode 12 can be a metal material such as Cr, Al, Ag, Au, or Pt. These metal materials are high in reflectance and are desirable because a higher reflectance means a better light extraction efficiency. The reflective electrode 12 may be a laminated structure that is constituted of a layer made of a reflective material which has a reflection function and a transparent conductive layer made from an ITO film which has an electrode function.
The constituent material of the cathode 17 in the organic light emitting device of FIG. 2 is not particularly defined, except that it is a material capable of electron injection. Electrodes ranging from ITO, IZO, and other transparent conductive electrodes to Ag, Mg, Al, and other metal electrodes can be employed.
In this embodiment, the red light emitting pixel R of FIG. 1 is a phosphorescence light emitting pixel. The green light emitting pixel G and blue light emitting pixel B of FIG. 1 are fluorescence light emitting pixels. The areas of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B per set, the counts of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the display apparatus, and the total areas of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the display apparatus are set as shown in the following Table 1. Table 1
Figure imgf000017_0001
FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating light emitting efficiency-current density relations that a fluorescence light emitting device and phosphorescence light emitting device contained in an organic EL display apparatus respectively have. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the dependence of the light emitting efficiency on the current density is very small in the case of the fluorescence light emitting device. In the case of the phosphorescence light emitting device, on the other hand, the roll-off phenomenon is observed in which the light emitting efficiency becomes lower as the current density increases. Meanwhile, the current density is in proportion to the pixel area. The current density necessary to drive a phosphorescence light emitting device is therefore in reverse proportion to the total area of a phosphorescence light emitting pixel constituted of the phosphorescence light emitting device. In this embodiment, as shown in Table 1, the total area of the phosphorescence light emitting pixels R is larger than both of the total area of the fluorescence light emitting pixels G and the total area of the fluorescence light emitting pixels B. The current density necessary to drive the organic EL display apparatus is thus made small and the light emitting efficiency is accordingly enhanced.
(Comparative Embodiment 1)
To provide a comparison to Embodiment 1 described above, Comparative Embodiment 1 sets the areas of the phosphorescence light emitting pixel R, the fluorescence light emitting pixel G, and the fluorescence light emitting pixel B per set, the counts of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the display apparatus, and the total areas of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the display apparatus as shown in the following Table 2.
Table 2
Figure imgf000018_0001
The total area of the phosphorescence light emitting pixels R in Comparative Embodiment 1 is 2/3 of that in Embodiment 1. This makes the current density necessary to drive the phosphorescence light emitting pixels R 1.5 times larger than that in Embodiment 1. Accordingly, based on the graph of FIG. 3, the light emitting efficiency of the phosphorescence light emitting pixel R in Comparative Embodiment 1 is approximately 0.8 times lower than that in Embodiment 1. The fluorescence light emitting pixel G and the fluorescence light emitting pixel B, on the other hand, have the same light emitting efficiencies as in Embodiment 1.
It is concluded from the above that the lower light emitting efficiency of the phosphorescence light emitting pixel R makes power consumption in Comparative Embodiment 1 that much larger than in Embodiment 1. (Embodiment 2)
An organic EL display apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention is described next. The description of this embodiment may omit matters that are the same as in Embodiment 1.
FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional view illustrating an organic EL display apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. An organic EL display apparatus 20 of FIG. 4 includes a substrate 21 on which a lower electrode 22 is provided. On the lower electrode 22, a red light emitting organic compound layer 23, which is a constituent member of a red light emitting pixel R, and an intermediate electrode layer 24 are provided in the stated order. On the intermediate electrode layer 24, a green light emitting organic compound layer 25a, which is a constituent member of a green light emitting pixel G, and a blue light emitting organic compound layer 25b, which is a . constituent member of a blue light emitting pixel B, are provided two-dimensionally. The green light emitting organic compound layer 25a and the blue light emitting organic compound layer 25b are defined to have their respective given regions by a pixel separating film 26, which is provided on the intermediate electrode layer 24. An upper electrode 27 is provided on the green light emitting organic compound layer 25a and the blue light emitting organic compound layer 25b. In the organic EL display apparatus of FIG. 4, the red light emitting pixel R is a member in which the lower electrode 22, the red light emitting organic compound layer 23, and the intermediate electrode layer 24 are formed in the stated order. The green light emitting pixel G is a member in which the intermediate electrode layer 24, the green light emitting organic compound layer 25a, and the upper electrode 27 are formed in the stated order. The blue light emitting pixel B is a member in which the intermediate electrode layer 24, the blue light emitting organic compound layer 25b, and the upper electrode 27 are formed in the stated order. The intermediate electrode layer 24 may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. The intermediate electrode layer 24 that has a single-layer structure acts as a common electrode of the red light emitting organic compound layer 23, the green light emitting organic compound layer 25a, and the blue light emitting organic compound layer 25b. For example, when the lower electrode 22 is an anode, the intermediate electrode layer 24 serves as a cathode and the upper electrode 27 serves as an anode. On the other hand, with the intermediate electrode layer 24 that has a multilayer structure, for example, a conductive film/insulating film/conductive film structure, the red light emitting organic compound layer 23, the green light emitting organic compound layer 25a, and the blue light emitting organic compound layer 25b can be driven separately. The red light emitting pixel R and the green light emitting pixel G in this embodiment are phosphorescence light emitting pixels whereas the blue light emitting pixel B in this embodiment is a fluorescence light emitting pixel. The pixels R, G, and B are arranged as illustrated in FIG. 5. Specifically, the green light emitting pixel G and the blue light emitting pixel B are arranged two-dimensionally on the red light emitting pixel R. However, the arrangement of the light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the organic EL display apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the mode illustrated in FIG. 5. For instance, the red light emitting pixel R may be disposed after the green light emitting pixel G and the blue light emitting pixel B are arranged two-dimensionally first. This embodiment sets the areas of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B per set, the counts of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the display apparatus, and the total areas of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the display apparatus as shown in the following Table 3. Table 3
Figure imgf000022_0001
As shown in Table 3, the red light emitting pixel R and the green light emitting pixel G which are phosphorescence light emitting pixels each have a total area larger than that of the blue light emitting pixel B, which is a fluorescence light emitting pixel. This makes the current density necessary to drive the organic EL display apparatus small, and the light emitting efficiency is accordingly enhanced.
(Comparative Embodiment 2)
To provide a comparison to Embodiment 2 described above, Comparative Embodiment 2 arranges the phosphorescence light emitting pixel R, the phosphorescence light emitting pixel G, and the fluorescence light emitting pixel B differently from Embodiment 2. Specifically, the green light emitting pixel G and the red light emitting pixel R is arranged two-dimensionally on the blue light emitting pixel B. Further, in Comparative Embodiment 2 which provides the comparison to Embodiment 2, a region that includes the phosphorescence light emitting pixel R, the phosphorescence light emitting pixel G and the fluorescence light emitting pixel B in Embodiment 2 are replaced by a region that includes the fluorescence light emitting pixel B, the phosphorescence light emitting pixel R and the phosphorescence light emitting pixel G, respectively. As a result, the areas of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B per set, the counts of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the display apparatus, and the total areas of the respective light emitting pixels R, G, and B in the display apparatus are as shown in the following Table 4. Table 4
Figure imgf000023_0001
From Tables 3 and 4, the current density necessary to drive the organic EL display apparatus in Comparative
Embodiment 2 is calculated to be twice the required current density in Embodiment 2 for the phosphorescence light emitting pixel R, 1.67 times the required current density in Embodiment 2 for the green light emitting pixel G, and 0.33 times the required current density in Embodiment 2 for the fluorescence light emitting pixel B. Based on the graph of FIG. 3, the light emitting efficiency in Comparative Embodiment 2 is 0.75 times the light emitting efficiency in Embodiment 2 for the phosphorescence light emitting pixel R, 0.8 times the light emitting efficiency in Embodiment 2 for the phosphorescence light emitting pixel G, and 1 time the light emitting efficiency in
Embodiment 2 for the fluorescence light emitting pixel B.
It is concluded from the above that the lower light emitting efficiencies of the phosphorescence light emitting pixels R and G make power consumption in Comparative Embodiment 2 that much larger than in Embodiment 2.
As has been described, according to the present invention, an organic EL display apparatus that includes a phosphorescence light emitting pixel and a fluorescence light emitting pixel can be reduced in power consumption by adjusting the total areas of the light emitting pixels.
(Embodiment 3)
An organic EL display apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention is described next. The description of this embodiment may omit matters that are the same as in Embodiments 1 and 2.
FIG. 6 is a schematic sectional view illustrating the organic EL display apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
An organic EL display apparatus 3 of FIG. 6 includes a substrate 30 on which a lower electrode 31, a first organic compound layer 32, a first intermediate electrode layer 33, a second organic compound layer 34, a second intermediate electrode layer 35, a third organic compound layer 36, and an upper electrode 37 are provided in the stated order.
In the organic EL display apparatus 3 of FIG. 6, each constituent member in which the lower electrode 31 or an intermediate electrode layer (33 or 35) , an organic compound layer (32, 34, or 36), and another intermediate electrode layer (33 or 35) or the upper electrode 37 are laminated in the stated order corresponds to a light emitting pixel. The organic compound layers 32, 34, and 36 in the organic EL display apparatus 3 of FIG. 6 are each a constituent member of a light emitting pixel that emits red light (R) , green light (G) , or blue light (B) . The present invention is not limited to a particular order in arrangement of the colors of light emitted from the organic compound layers 32, 34, and 36.
When the organic EL display apparatus 3 of FIG. 6 is manufactured, the total area of a phosphorescence light emitting pixel is controlled to be larger than the total area of any type of fluorescence light emitting pixel. The light emission area of a light emitting pixel, which includes an organic compound layer sandwiched between two electrodes, is determined by the sizes of the electrodes. Changing the electrode size is therefore one way to control the total areas of the phosphorescence and fluorescence light emitting pixels. In the actual organic light emitting apparatus 3 of FIG. 6, a region between electrodes is basically insulated.
While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. The scope of the following claims is to be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent structures and functions.
This application claims the benefit of Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-202621, filed August 6, 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
