具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本公开一些实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开所提供的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非上下文另有要求,否则,在整个说明书和权利要求书中,术语“包括(comprise)”及其其他形式例如第三人称单数形式“包括(comprises)”和现在分词形式“包括(comprising)”被解释为开放、包含的意思,即为“包含,但不限于”。在说明书的描述中,术语“一个实施例(one embodiment)”、“一些实施例(some embodiments)”、“示例性实施例(exemplary embodiments)”、“示例(example)”、“特定示例(specific example)”或“一些示例(some examples)”等旨在表明与该实施例或示例相关的特定特征、结构、材料或特性包括在本公开的至少一个实施例或示例中。上述术语的示意性表示不一定是指同一实施例或示例。此外,所述的特定特征、结构、材料或特点可以以任何适当方式包括在任何一个或多个实施例或示例中。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本公开实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
在描述一些实施例时,可能使用了“耦接”和“连接”及其衍伸的表达。例如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“连接”以表明两个或两个以上部件彼此间有直接物理接触或电接触。又如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“耦接”以表明两个或两个以上部件有直接物理接触或电接触。然而,术语“耦接”或“通信耦合(communicatively coupled)”也可能指两个或两个以上部件彼此间并无直接接触,但仍彼此协作或相互作用。这里所公开的实施例并不必然限制于本文内容。
“A、B和C中的至少一个”与“A、B或C中的至少一个”具有相同含义,均包括以下A、B和C的组合:仅A,仅B,仅C,A和B的组合,A和C的组合,B和C的组合,及A、B和C的组合。
“A和/或B”,包括以下三种组合:仅A,仅B,及A和B的组合。
如本文中所使用,根据上下文,术语“如果”任选地被解释为意思是“当……时”或“在……时”或“响应于确定”或“响应于检测到”。类似 地,根据上下文,短语“如果确定……”或“如果检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]”任选地被解释为是指“在确定……时”或“响应于确定……”或“在检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]时”或“响应于检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]”。
本文中“适用于”或“被配置为”的使用意味着开放和包容性的语言,其不排除适用于或被配置为执行额外任务或步骤的设备。
另外,“基于”的使用意味着开放和包容性,因为“基于”一个或多个所述条件或值的过程、步骤、计算或其他动作在实践中可以基于额外条件或超出所述的值。
如本文所使用的那样,“约”、“大致”或“近似”包括所阐述的值以及处于特定值的可接受偏差范围内的平均值,其中所述可接受偏差范围如由本领域普通技术人员考虑到正在讨论的测量以及与特定量的测量相关的误差(即,测量系统的局限性)所确定。

本文参照作为理想化示例性附图的剖视图和/或平面图描述了示例性实施方式。在附图中,为了清楚,放大了层和区域的厚度。因此,可设想到由于例如制造技术和/或公差引起的相对于附图的形状的变动。因此,示例性实施方式不应解释为局限于本文示出的区域的形状,而是包括因例如制造而引起的形状偏差。例如,示为矩形的蚀刻区域通常将具有弯曲的特征。因此,附图中所示的区域本质上是示意性的,且它们的形状并非旨在示出设备的区域的实际形状,并且并非旨在限制示例性实施方式的范围。
随着Tandem OLED的发展,对Tandem OLED的发光效率的要求逐渐提高。如图1所示,Tandem OLED器件一般包括第一电极110、第二电极140 和至少两个发光单元(例如第一发光单元120和第二发光单元130),第一发光单元120和第二发光单元130可以位于第一电极110和第二电极140之间。第一电极110可用来提供空穴、第二电极140可用来提供电子。其中,第一发光单元120包括第一发光层122和第一电子阻挡层121,第二发光单元130包括第二发光层132和第二电子阻挡层131。各电子阻挡层通过对电子进行阻挡,使得电子尽可能地停留在与其相邻的发光层中,从而提高发光层的发光效率。
如图1所示,在一些实施例中,第一发光层122的靠近第一电极110的一侧设置有电子阻挡层121,第二发光层132的靠近第一电极110的一侧也设置有电子阻挡层131。当电子自第二电极140向第一电极110的方向传输时。因为电子传输时受到传输势垒的影响,会使得第二发光层132中的存留的电子量多于第一发光层122中存留的电子量。
综上,第一发光层122中的电子量少于第二发光层132中的电子量。由此可知,第一发光层122中电子和空穴复合形成的激子量少于第二发光层132中电子和空穴复合形成的激子量。因为第一发光层122中的激子量和第二发光层132中的激子量不同,所以第一发光层122的激子复合区域和第二发光层132的激子复合区域不一样,使得第一发光层122的发光效率和第二发光层132的发光效率也不一样,造成发光器件中两个发光单元之间的光线匹配效果不佳,最终导致发光器件整体的发光效率较低。
为了解决发光器件整体的发光效率较低的问题,本公开提供了一种发光器件及其制作方法和显示面板。
图2为根据一些实施例的显示面板100的立体图。图3为根据图2所示实施例的显示面板100沿着线A-A'的截面图。如图2所示,显示面板100包括用于显示图像的显示区AA和不显示图像的非显示区SA,非显示区SA围绕在显示区AA的至少一侧(例如,一侧;又如,四周,即包括上下两侧和左右两侧)。在一些示例中,非显示区SA可以封闭包围显示区AA,可以在至少一个方向上位于显示区AA的外侧。上述显示面板100在平面图中可以具有矩形形状,也可以具有圆形、椭圆、菱形、梯形、正方形或其他根据显示需要的形状。

结合图2、图3和图9所示,本公开的一些实施例提供了一种显示面板100。显示面板100包括衬底SUB、发光器件层LDL、光取出层CPL和封装层TFE。

在一些示例中,如图4~图6所示,一个像素单元区PU包括一个第一子像素区P1、一个第二子像素区P2和一个第三子像素区P3。一个第一子像素区P1、一个第二子像素区P2和一个第三子像素区P3可以沿第二方向Y相互间隔且重复性地排布于显示区AA内。
在一些示例中,如图7和图8所示,一个像素单元区PU中可以包括显示相同颜色的两个子像素区,显示相同颜色的两个子像素区可以相邻设置。例如,一个像素单元区PU内包括一个红色子像素区R、两个绿色子像素区G和一个蓝色子像素区B,其中,一个像素单元区PU内的两个绿色子像素区G可以相邻设置。
在一些示例中,一个像素单元区PU包括一个第一子像素区P1、两个第二子像素区P2和一个第三子像素区P3。一个第一子像素区P1、两个第二子像素区P2和一个第三子像素区P3可以沿第二方向Y相互间隔且重复性地排布于显示区AA内。在此情况下,非发光区P4还可以位于两个第二子像素区P2之间。
如图3所示,在一个像素单元区PU内,在第二方向(平行于衬底SUB的方向)Y上,第一子像素区P1具有第一宽度WL1,第二子像素区P2具有第二宽度WL2,第三子像素区P3具有第三宽度WL3。其中,第一宽度WL1、第二宽度WL2和第三宽度WL3可以彼此不同。

如图9所示,显示面板100可以包括绝缘层INL,可以位于第一像素电路S1、第二像素电路S2和第三像素电路S3上。绝缘层INL可以具有平坦化的表面。绝缘层INL可以由有机层形成。例如,绝缘层INL可以包括丙烯酸树脂、环氧树脂、酰亚胺树脂或酯树脂等。绝缘层INL可以具有通孔,暴露第一像素电路S1、第二像素电路S2和第三像素电路S3的电极,以便实现电连接。
结合图3和图9所示,显示面板100可以包括位于衬底基板SUB上的发光器件层LDL和像素界定层PDL。像素界定层PDL可以在绝缘层INL上形成并限定出多个发光开口。例如像素界定层PDL包括位于第一子像素区P1的第一发光开口K1、位于第二子像素区P2的第二发光开口K2、以及位于第三子像素区P3的第三发光开口K3。发光器件层LDL形成有多个和像素电路S连接的发光器件,多个发光器件分别覆盖多个发光开口。在一个像素单元区PU内,发光器件包括第一发光器件LD1、第二发光器件LD2和第三发光器件LD3。例如,第一发光器件LD1覆盖第一发光开口K1,第二发光器件LD2可以覆盖第二发光开口K2,并且第三发光器件LD3可以覆盖第三发光开口K3。
如图3所示,在一些实施例中,多个发光开口包括至少一个发光开口单元KU。一个发光开口单元KU包括对应不同颜色的第一发光开口K1、第二发光开口K2和第三发光开口K3。
一个发光开口单元KU对应一个像素单元区PU,发光开口单元KU中发光开口的数量与像素单元区中子像素区的数量相等。一个发光开口单元KU中的多个发光开口一一对应一个像素单元区PU中的多个子像素区。
可以理解为,在一个发光开口单元KU内,可以包括一个或多个第一发光开口K1、一个或多个第二发光开口K2、一个或多个第三发光开口K3。
第一发光器件LD1可以覆盖第一发光开口K1,第二发光器件LD2可以覆盖第二发光开口K2,并且第三发光器件LD3可以覆盖第三发光开口K3。
在一些实施例中,发光器件可以包括沿第一方向(即垂直于衬底SUB的方向)X依次叠置的第一电极、至少两个发光单元200和第二电极。
在一些示例中,显示面板100为顶发射显示面板100。第一电极为反射电极可以反射光线,例如阳极;第二电极为透射电极可以透出光线,例如阴极。这样,在阳极和阴极之间形成了微腔结构。
在另一些示例中,显示面板100为底发射显示面板100。第一电极为透射电极可以透出光线,例如阳极;第二电极CE为反射电极可以反射光线,例如阴极。这样,在阳极和阴极之间形成了微腔结构。
如图9和图10所述,第一电极包括位于第一子像素区P1的第一电极AE1、位于第二子像素区P2的第一电极AE2和位于第三子像素区P3的第一电极AE3。
在一些实施例中,第一电极可以包括高功函数的材料,例如Ag、Mg、Al、Pt、Pd、Au、Ni、Nd、Ir或Cr的金属及其混合物材料制成,也可以由ITO、IZO或IGZO等透明导电氧化物材料制成。第一电极在第一方向X上的尺寸可以处于80nm~200nm的范围内。
在一些示例中,显示面板100为顶发射显示面板100。第一电极AE1可以包括透明导电氧化物/金属/透明导电氧化物这样的叠层复合结构。其中,透明导电氧化物材料例如为ITO或IZO,金属材料例如为Au、Ag、Ni或Pt。例如阳极结构为:ITO/Ag/ITO。其中,金属在第一方向X上的尺寸可以处于80nm~100nm的范围内;透明导电氧化物在第一方向X上的尺寸可以处于5nm~10nm的范围内。另外,第一电极对于可见光的平均反射率可以处于85%~95%的范围内。
在一些示例中,显示面板100为底发射显示面板100。第一电极可以包括ITO、IZO或IGZO等透明导电氧化物。
在一些实施例中,第二电极CE可以包括金属材料或合金材料。其中,金属材料例如为Al、Ag或Mg,合金材料例如为Mg:Ag合金或Al:Li合金。 示例性地,阴极包括Mg:Ag合金,其中,Mg元素与铝元素之间的比值可以处于3:7~1:9的范围内。
在一些示例中,显示面板100为顶发射显示面板100。第二电极在第一方向X上的尺寸可以处于10nm~20nm的范围内。第二电极CE在对于波长为530nm的光的透光率可以大于或等于50%,例如50%、55%、60%、65%等。
在另一些示例中,显示面板100为底发射显示面板100。第二电极CE在第一方向上的尺寸可以大于或等于80nm,例如80nm、85nm、90nm、95nm等。这样,能够确保第二电极CE作为反射的电极对光有较好的反射率。
如图9和图10所示,第二电极包括位于第一子像素区P1的第二电极CE1、位于第二子像素区P2的第二电极CE2和位于第三子像素区P3的第二电极CE3。
第一电极和第二电极之间的至少两个发光单元200可以在第一方向X上叠置。第一电极和第二电极CE之间的发光单元200的数量可以是两个、也可以是三个,还可以是其他数量,此处不作限定。
如图10所示,在一些示例中,第一电极AE和第二电极CE之间包括第一发光单元210和第二发光单元220,即第一电极AE和第二电极CE之间包括两个发光单元200。第一发光单元210可以与第一电极AE直接接触,第二发光单元220位于第一发光单元210与第二电极CE之间,第二发光单元220可以与第二电极CE直接接触。
第一发光单元210包括第一发光层EML1、第一传输层TL1和第二传输层TL2。第一传输层TL1位于第一发光层EML1和第一电极AE之间,可以理解地,第一传输层TL1在第一方向X上的尺寸等于第一电极AE和第一发光层EML1在第一方向上的间隔距离。第一传输层TL1被配置为从第一电极AE传输空穴至第一发光层EML1。第二传输层TL2位于第一发光层EML1与第二发光单元220之间,可以理解地,第二传输层TL2在第一方向X上的尺寸等于第一发光层EML1与第二发光单元220在第一方向X上的间隔距离。第二传输层TL2被配置为传输电子至第一发光层EML1。这样,空穴和电子在第一发光层EML1复合,使得第一发光层EML1发光。
第二发光单元220包括第二发光层EML2、第三传输层TL3和第四传输层TL4。第三传输层TL3位于第二发光层EML2和第一发光单元210之间,可以理解地,第三传输层TL3在第一方向X上的尺寸等于第一发光单元210与第二发光层EML2在第一方向X上的间隔距离。第三传输层TL3被配置为传输空穴至第二发光层EML2。第四传输层TL4位于第二发光层EML2与第 二电极CE之间,可以理解地,第四传输层TL4在第一方向X上的尺寸等于第二发光层EML2与第二电极CE在第一方向X上的间隔距离。第四传输层TL4被配置为从第二电极CE传输电子至第二发光层EML2。这样,空穴和电子在第二发光层EML2复合,使得第二发光层EML2发光。
如图10所示,在一些实施例中,发光器件还包括位于相邻两个发光单元200之间的电荷产生层300。示例性地,电荷产生层300包括沿第一方向叠置的N型电荷产生子层320和P型电荷产生子层310,P型电荷产生子层310位于N型电荷产生子层320远离第一电极AE的一侧。N型电荷产生子层320可以直接与第一发光单元210直接接触,例如N型电荷产生子层320与第二传输层TL2直接接触,将电子提供给第一发光单元210。P型电荷产生子层310可以直接与第二发光单元220直接接触,例如P型电荷产生子层320与第三传输层TL3直接接触,将空穴提供给第二发光单元220。
在一些示例中,上述第二传输层TL2被配置为传输电荷产生层300提供的电子至第一发光层EML1,以使第一电极AE提供的空穴和电荷产生层300提供的电子在第一发光层EML1复合发光。上述第三传输层TL3被配置为传输电荷产生层300提供的空穴至第二发光层EML2,以使电荷产生层300提供的空穴和第二电极CE提供的电子在第二发光层EML2复合发光。
电荷产生层300可以包括金属、非掺杂有机物、P型及N型掺杂构成的有机PN结或金属氧化物等,此处不作限定。
在一些实施例中,在同一发光器件内,第一发光层EML1发出的光线的波长,与第二发光层EML2发出的光线的波长之间的差值的绝对值可以小于等于10nm。例如10nm、8nm、5nm、3nm等。
可以理解地,同一发光器件内的两个发光单元200发出相同或相近的光线。这样,能够提高两个发光单元200光谱叠加的集中性,提高光线的色纯度、以及出光效率。
例如,发光器件为蓝色发光器件,蓝色发光器件内第一发光层EML1发出的光线的波长为460nm,蓝色发光器件内第二发光层EML2发出的光线的波长可以为450nm~470nm。这样,能够提高发光器件中波长相重合的波段对应光线的出光效率。
在一些实施例中,在同一发光器件内,第一发光层EML1发出的光线处于光谱峰值的波长,与第二发光层EML2发出的光线处于光谱峰值的波长之间的差异率小于5%。
可以理解地,同一发光器件内的两个发光单元200发出的两种光线,处 于光谱峰值的波长相同或相近。这样,能够提高两个发光单元200光谱叠加的集中性,提高光线的色纯度、以及出光效率。
例如,发光器件为红色发光器件,红色发光器件内第一发光层EML1发出的光线处于光谱峰值的波长为530nm,红色发光器件内第二发光层EML2发出的光线处于光谱峰值的波长可以为504nm~557nm。这样,能够提高发光器件中波长相重合的波段对应光线的出光效率。
如图10所示,在一些示例中,第一传输层TL1可以包括第一空穴注入层HIL1和第一空穴传输层HTL1。第一空穴注入层HIL1位于第一电极AE与第一空穴传输层HTL1之间,第一空穴注入层HIL1被配置为将第一电极AE的空穴注入到第一空穴传输层HTL1。第一空穴传输层HTL1位于第一空穴注入层HIL1和第一发光层EML1之间,第一空穴传输层HTL1被配置为将第一空穴注入层HIL1注入的空穴传输至第一发光层EML1,使得空穴在第一发光层EML1内与电子复合,实现第一发光层EML1的发光。
在一些示例中,第一空穴注入层HIL1可以包括第三主体材料和P型掺杂材料。第三主体材料可以包括聚(3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩)聚苯乙烯磺酸(PEDOT:PSS)、聚噻吩、聚苯胺、聚吡咯、铜酞菁、和4,4’,4”-三(N,N-苯基-3-碱性蓝)三苯胺(m-MTDATA)。P型掺杂材料可以是醌衍生物或轴烯化合物之一,但不限于此。P型掺杂剂的非限制性实例是醌衍生物,例如四氰基醌二甲烷(TCNQ)、2,3,5,6-四氟-四氰基-1,4-苯并醌二甲烷(F4-TCNQ)、4,4”,4”-((1E,1”E,1”E)-环丙烷-1,2,3-三亚基三(氰甲基亚基))-三(2,3,5,6-四氟苯甲腈)。
在一些实施例中,P型掺杂材料在第三主体材料中所占的比例为1%~6%。例如1%、2%、3%、4%、5%或者6%。如此,可通过控制P型掺杂材料在第三主体材料中所占的比例,来提高第一空穴注入层HIL1的空穴注入效率,从而提高传输至第一发光层EML1的空穴量,进而提高第一发光层EML1中的激子复合量,以提高第一发光层EML1的发光效率。
在一些实施例中,P型电荷产生子层310包括第二主体材料和P型掺杂材料。第二主体材料可以包括金属和非掺杂有机物等。其中,P型掺杂材料在第二主体材料中所占的比例为1%~6%。例如1%、2%、3%、4%、5%或者6%。
如此,可降低P型电荷产生子层310传输空穴的难度,以将空穴注入与P型电荷产生子层310相邻设置的膜层(例如第二空穴注入层HIL2)中,也就是通过提高穿过P型电荷产生子层310向第二电极CE运动的空穴量,来提高第二发光层EML2中的空穴量,从而提高第二发光层EML2中的激子复合量, 进而提高第二发光层EML2的发光效率。
在一些示例中,P型掺杂材料在第二主体材料中所占的比例,大于P型掺杂材料在第三主体材料中所占的比例。如此设置,可提高Tandem OLED中第一发光层EML1和第二发光层EML2的发光效率。
示例性地,P型掺杂材料在第二主体材料中所占的比例,和P型掺杂材料在第三主体材料中所占的比例的差值在0.8%~5%之间。例如,0.8%、1%、2%、3%或者4%。如此设置,可提高Tandem OLED中第一发光层EML1和第二发光层EML2的发光效率。
如图10所示,在一些示例中,第二传输层TL2可以包括第一电子传输层ETL1和第一电子注入层EIL1。第一电子注入层EIL1位于第一电子传输层ETL1与电荷产生层300之间,第一电子注入层EIL1被配置为将N型电荷产生子层320提供的电子注入到第一电子传输层ETL1。第一电子传输层ETL1位于第一电子注入层EIL1与第二发光层EML2之间,第一电子传输层ETL1被配置为将第一电子注入层EIL1注入的电子传输至第一发光层EML1,使得电子在第一发光层EML1内与空穴复合,实现第一发光层EML1的发光。
如图10所示,在一些示例中,第三传输层TL3可以包括第二空穴注入层HIL2和第二空穴传输层HTL2。第二空穴注入层HIL2位于电荷产生层300与第二空穴传输层HTL2之间,第二空穴注入层HIL2被配置为将P型电荷产生子层的空穴注入到第二空穴传输层HTL2。第二空穴传输层HTL2位于第二空穴注入层HIL2和第二发光层EML2之间,第二空穴传输层HTL2被配置为将第二空穴注入层HIL2注入的空穴传输至第二发光层EML2,使得空穴在第二发光层EML2内与电子复合,实现第二发光层EML2的发光。
如图10所示,在一些示例中,第四传输层TL4可以包括第二电子传输层ETL2和第二电子注入层EIL2。第二电子注入层EIL2位于第二电子传输层ETL2与第二电极CE之间,第二电子注入层EIL2被配置为将第二电极CE提供的电子注入到第二电子传输层ETL2。第二电子传输层ETL2位于第二电子注入层EIL2与第二发光层CE之间,第二电子传输层ETL2被配置为将第二电子注入层EIL2注入的电子传输至第二发光层EML2,使得电子在第二发光层EML2内与空穴复合,实现第二发光层EML2的发光。
如图10所示,在一些示例中,第四传输层TL4还可以包括空穴阻挡层HBL。空穴阻挡层HBL可以位于第二电子传输层ETL2和第二发光层EML2之间,空穴阻挡层HBL被配置为阻挡第二发光层EML2中的空穴向靠近第二电极CE的方向运动。
在一些实施例中,如图10和图11所示,至少两个发光单元中的至少一个发光单元还包括激子阻挡层。示例性地,当发光器件包括两个发光单元200时,可以是两个发光单元200中的任一个发光单元200包括激子阻挡层BL(BL1/BL2),例如,第一发光单元210包括第一激子阻挡层BL1(例如图10)。又例如,第一发光单元210包括第一激子阻挡层BL1,第二发光单元220包括第二激子阻挡层BL2(例如图11)。其中,激子阻挡层可以位于发光单元的发光层靠近第一电极的一侧。
示例性地,如图10所示,第一激子阻挡层BL1包括在第一方向X相互叠置的第一子层BL11和第二子层BL12。第一子层BL11可以被配置为阻挡电子,第二子层BL12可以被配置为传输空穴。
需要说明的是,第一子层BL11和第二子层BL12之间的位置关系可以根据实际情况进行调整。例如,第一子层BL11可以位于第二子层BL12和第一发光层EML1之间,或者第二子层BL12位于第一子层BL11和第一发光层EML1之间。
在一些示例中,如图10所示,激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11位于第一发光层EML1和第二子层BL12之间。第一子层BL11可被配置为既传输空穴,又阻挡电子和激子。第二子层BL12可被配置为传输空穴。
第二发光单元220包括电子阻挡层EBL,电子阻挡层EBL位于第二发光层EML2和第二空穴传输层HTL2之间。第一电极AE(例如阳极)提供的空穴,能够从第一电极AE向第二电极CE的方向传输。例如,第一电极AE所提供的空穴,在离开第一电极AE后,可以先来到第一发光单元210的第一激子阻挡层BL1,并能够依次穿过第二子层BL12和第一子层BL11,随后注入第一发光层EML1。注入第一发光层EML1中的一些空穴可与第一发光层EML1内的电子复合形成激子,以使得第一发光层EML1发光。第一发光层EML1中未与电子复合的部分空穴能够继续往第二发光单元220的方向传输。当空穴离开第一发光层EML1后,可依次穿过电荷产生层300和电子阻挡层EBL,并注入第二发光单元220的第二发光层EML2,能够与第二发光层EML2中的电子复合,以使得第二发光层EML2发光。
因为空穴传输时具有传输势垒,所以越靠近第二电极CE,所传输的空穴量越少。也就是说,空穴的传输量自第一电极AE向第二电极CE的方向逐渐减少。可以理解为,传输到第一子层BL11的空穴量小于传输第二子层BL12的空穴量。虽然空穴的传输量自第一电极AE向第二电极CE的方向逐渐减少,但是P型电荷产生子层310能够提供一些空穴,并将空穴注入第二发光层 EML2,从而能够在一定程度上减少第二发光层EML2因传输势垒而损失的空穴量。
第二电极CE(例如阴极)提供的电子,能够从第二电极CE向第一电极AE的方向传输。例如,第二电极CE提供的电子,在离开第二电极CE后,可以先注入第二发光单元220的第二发光层EML2,并与第二发光层EML2内的空穴复合形成激子。第二发光层EML2中未与空穴复合的电子能够继续往第一电极AE的方向传输。随后,电子可先穿过电子阻挡层EBL,虽然该电子阻挡层EBL能够阻挡电子,但是一些电子还是能够穿过电子阻挡层EBL并传输至第一发光单元210。再加上N型电荷产生子层320能够提供一些电子,并将电子注入第一发光单元210,因此,能够减少第一发光单元210因电子阻挡层EBL及传输势垒而损失的电子量。
其次,当电子传输至第一发光层EML1时,第一子层BL11能够对第一发光层EML1中的激子及电子进行阻挡,从而能够使得从第一发光层EML1中向第一电极AE运动的绝大多数电子停留在第一发光层EML1中。
图1中的电子阻挡层除了能够对第一发光层EML1中的电子进行阻挡外,还需要具备阻挡激子和传输空穴的能力,所以电子阻挡层的挡电子能力效果较差。第一发光层EML1中流失的电子还是较多,从而导致第一发光层EML1中存留的电子较少,如此,第一发光层EML1中存留的电子数量和第二发光层EML2中存留的电子数量差距有点大。
而本公开实施例中,如图10所示,在第一发光层EML1靠近第一电极AE设置激子阻挡层BL1时,因为激子阻挡层BL1是层叠设置的双膜层结构,而且第一子层BL11位于第一发光层EML1和第二子层BL12之间。因为第一子层BL11主要能够对第一发光层EML1中的电子进行阻挡,所以能够减少第一发光层EML1中电子的流失,从而提高第一发光层EML1中存留的电子量,以提高第一发光层EML1中复合的激子量。
如此,通过设置第一子层BL11和第二子层BL12的双膜层结构,能够提高对第一发光层EML1中的电子进行阻挡的性能,以减少第一发光层EML1中的电子流失量。从而提高第一发光层EML1中存留的电子量,进而提高第一发光层EML1中电子和空穴复合的激子量。此外,第一子层BL11还能够对第一发光层EML1中的激子进行阻挡,以使得激子尽可能地停留在第一发光层EML1,从而可进一步提高第一发光层EML1中存留的激子量,以使得第一发光层EML1中存留的激子量和第二发光层EML2中存留的激子量尽可能地接近,进而提高第一发光层EML1的发光效率,以使得第一发光层EML1 的发光效率和第二发光层EML2的发光效率尽可能一致。
在一些示例中,如图11所示,发光器件包括两个发光单元200,两个发光单元200均包括激子阻挡层BL。例如:第一发光单元210包括第一激子阻挡层BL1,第二发光单元220包括第二激子阻挡层BL2。
如图11所示,沿第一方向X,该发光器件依次包括第一电极AE、第一激子阻挡层BL1、第一发光层EML1、电荷阻挡层300、第二激子阻挡层BL2、第二发光层EML2及第二电极CE。
第一电极AE提供的空穴,在离开第一电极AE后,可以先来到第一激子阻挡层BL1,并能够依次穿过第二子层BL12和第一子层BL11,随后注入第一发光层EML1。注入第一发光层EML1中的一些空穴可与第一发光层EML1内的电子复合形成激子,以使第一发光层EML1发光。第一发光层EML1中未与电子复合的空穴能够继续往第二电极CE的方向传输。当空穴离开第一发光层EML1后,可以依次穿过电荷产生层300和第二激子阻挡层BL2,随后注入第二发光层EML2,以使得第二发光层EML2发光。
同理,空穴传输时具有传输势垒,能够减少传输至第二发光层EML2的空穴量。但是P型电荷产生子层310能够提供一些空穴,并将空穴注入第二发光层EML2,如此能够在一定程度上增加第二发光层EML2因传输势垒而损失的空穴量。
第二电极CE提供的电子,能够在离开第二电极CE后,可以注入第二发光单元220的第二发光层EML2,并与第二发光层EML2内的空穴复合形成激子。第二发光层EML2中未与空穴复合的电子能够继续往第一电极AE的方向传输。随后,电子可先穿过第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL21和第二子层BL22,因为第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL21具有较好的阻挡电子能力,所以大多数电子能够被阻挡在第二发光层EML2中,一些电子则能够穿过第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL21和第二子层BL22继续向第一电极AE的方向传输。当电子离开第二发光层EML2后,可以依次穿过电荷产生层300,随后注入第一发光层EML1,以使得第一发光层EML1发光。
电子传输时具有传输势垒,能够减少传输至第一发光层EML1的电子量。但是N型电荷产生子层320能够提供一些电子,并将电子注入第一发光层EML1,如此能够在一定程度上增加第一发光层EML1因传输势垒而损失的电子量。
其次,电子传输至第一发光层EML1时,第一激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11能够对第一发光层EML1中的激子及电子进行阻挡,从而能够使得从 第一发光层EML1中向第一电极AE运动的绝大多数电子停留在第一发光层EML1中。
图1中当第一发光层122靠近第一电极110的一侧设置电子阻挡层121,第二发光层132靠近第一电极110的一侧也设置电子阻挡层131时,因为单层结构的电子阻挡层的挡电子能力效果较差。第一发光层122中流失的电子还是较多,从而导致第一发光层122中存留的电子较少,第一发光层122中存留的电子数量和第二发光层132中存留的电子数量差距有点大。
而本公开实施例中,如图11所示,在第一发光层EML1靠近第一电极AE的一侧设置第一激子阻挡层BL1,在第二发光层EML2靠近第一电极AE的一侧设置第二激子阻挡层BL2,并使得上述激子阻挡层均为双膜层结构。能够提高各发光单元中对电子的阻挡性能,这样通过减少各个发光单元的电子流失量,能够提高各个发光单元内发生复合的激子的数量,进而提升各个发光单元的发光效率,实现发光器件整体发光效率的提升。
如图10和图11所示,在一些示例中,激子阻挡层(例如BL1或BL2)的第一子层的厚度可小于第二子层的厚度。例如,沿第一方向X,第一激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11的厚度可小于第一激子阻挡层BL1的第二子层BL12的厚度。其中,第一子层BL11的厚度范围可以为4nm~25nm,第二子层BL12的厚度可以为20nm~50nm。
示例性地,第二子层BL12的厚度至多为第一子层BL11的厚度的6倍。即,第二子层BL12的厚度与第一子层BL11的厚度的比值处于1~6的范围内,例如1、2、3、4、5、6。
如图10和图11所示,在一些示例中,同一激子阻挡层(例如BL1或BL2)中,第一子层的最高已占轨道(Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital,HOMO)能级高于第二子层的最高已占轨道能级。
空穴容易从HOMO能级较低的膜层跃迁到HOMO能级较高的膜层,但不容易从HOMO能级较高的膜层跃迁到HOMO能级较低的膜层。因此,使得第一子层的HOMO能级高于第二子层的HOMO能级,能够降低空穴从第二子层跃迁到第一子层的难度,从而提高了空穴的传输率,以使得更多的空穴能够成功跃迁到第一子层,进而提高了传输至第一子层的空穴量。
示例性地,第一子层的最高已占轨道能级与第二子层的最高已占轨道能级之间的差值的绝对值小于1eV。例如0eV、0.1eV、0.2eV、0.4eV、0.6eV、0.8eV、1eV。
在一些实施例中,同一激子阻挡层(例如BL1或BL2)中,第一子层还 被配置为传输空穴。第一子层的空穴迁移率可以大于第二子层的空穴迁移率,第一子层的空穴迁移率也可以等于第二子层的空穴迁移率,第一子层的空穴迁移率还可以小于第二子层的空穴迁移率。
在一些示例中,同一激子阻挡层(例如BL1或BL2)中,第一子层的空穴迁移率小于第二子层的空穴迁移率。如此设置,能够提高发光层的靠近第一电极侧的空穴迁移率。
示例性地,第一激子阻挡层BL1在相同的电场强度下,第二子层BL12的空穴迁移率,至多为第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率的100倍。即,第二子层BL12的空穴迁移率与第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率的比值处于1~100的范围内,例如1、2、3、4……98、99、100。
可以理解的是,可以根据发光器件的实际需求,灵活调整第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率和第二子层BL12的空穴迁移率之间的比例,以便于满足发光单元对于激子阻挡层的空穴迁移率的要求。
当发光器件的每个发光单元200都包括激子阻挡层时,不同发光单元200中的激子阻挡层BL的空穴迁移率可以相同也可以不同,此处不作限定。
如图11所示,在一些实施例中,第一发光单元210的第一激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率,可以大于也可以小于等于第二发光单元220的第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率。
示例性地,第一发光单元210的第一激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率,小于等于第二发光单元220的第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率,这样,可通过第一激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11提高空穴传输至第一发光层EML1的难度,从而减少传输至第一发光层EML1的空穴量,进而减少空穴在第一发光层EML1内复合的激子数量。同时,还能够通过第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL21降低空穴传输至第二发光层EML2的难度,从而增加传输至第二发光层EML2的空穴量,进而增加空穴在第二发光层EML2内复合的激子数量。如此,便于使第二发光层EML2中与电子复合的空穴量接近第一发光层EML1中与电子复合的空血量,以使得第一发光层EML1的激子复合区域与第二发光层EML2的激子复合区域尽可能地接近,从而提高发光器件的发光效率。
示例性地,第二发光单元210的第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL21的空穴迁移率,至多为第一发光单元220的第一激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率的100倍。即,第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL21的空穴迁移率与第一激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率的比值处 于1~100的范围内。
例如,在相同电场强度下,第二发光单元220的激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL21的空穴迁移率可为1.5×10-4cm2/(V·s),第一发光单元210的激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11的空穴迁移率可为9.9×10-6cm2/(V·s)。
如图11所示,在一些实施例中,第一发光单元210的第一激子阻挡层BL1的第二子层BL12的空穴迁移率,可以大于也可以小于等于第二发光单元220的第二激子阻挡层BL2的第二子层BL22的空穴迁移率。
示例性地,当第一发光单元210的第一激子阻挡层BL1的第二子层BL12的空穴迁移率,小于等于第二发光单元220的第二激子阻挡层BL2的第二子层BL22的空穴迁移率时,可通过第一激子阻挡层BL1的第二子层BL12提高空穴传输至第一发光层EML1的难度,从而可减少传输至第一发光层EML1的空穴量。并能够通过第二激子阻挡层BL2的第二子层BL22降低空穴传输至第二发光层EML2的难度,从而增加传输至第二发光层EML2的空穴量。再加上电荷产生层300能够提供一些空穴给第二发光层EML2。如此,便于调整第二发光层EML2和第一发光层EML1对应的空穴量,以使得二者的空穴量尽可能地接近,从而提高发光器件的发光效率。
示例性地,第二发光单元210的第二激子阻挡层BL2的第二子层BL22的空穴迁移率,至多为第一发光单元220的第一激子阻挡层BL1的第二子层BL12的空穴迁移率的100倍。即,第二激子阻挡层BL2的第二子层BL22的空穴迁移率与第一激子阻挡层BL1的第二子层BL12的空穴迁移率的比值处于1~100的范围内。
例如,在相同电场强度下,第二发光单元220的激子阻挡层BL2的第二子层BL22的空穴迁移率可为8.2×10-4cm2/(V·s),第一发光单元210的激子阻挡层BL1的第二子层BL12的空穴迁移率可为5.4×10-5cm2/(V·s)。
如图11所示,在一些实施例中,第一激子阻挡层BL1的第一子层BL11和第二子层BL12分别配置的三线态能量可不同。
在一些示例中,第一子层BL11被配置的三线态能量可大于第二子层BL12被配置的三线态能量。示例性地,第一子层BL11被配置的三线态能量和第二子层BL12被配置的三线态能量之间的差值可小于0.5eV。例如0.01eV、0.08eV、0.15eV、0.18eV……0.3eV、0.4eV或者0.5eV。
在一些示例中,第一子层BL11的三线态能量可为2.54eV,第二子层BL12的三线态能量可为2.48eV,第一子层BL11被配置的三线态能量和第二子层BL12被配置的三线态能量之间的差值可为0.06eV。
如图11所示,在一些实施例中,第二激子阻挡层BL2的第一子层BL21和第二子层BL22分别配置的三线态能量也可不同。
在一些示例中,第一子层BL21被配置的三线态能量可大于第二子层BL22被配置的三线态能量。示例性地,第一子层BL21被配置的三线态能量和第二子层BL22被配置的三线态能量之间的差值可小于0.5eV。例如0.01eV、0.08eV、0.15eV、0.18eV……0.3eV、0.4eV或者0.5eV。
在一些示例中,第一子层BL21的三线态能量可为2.52eV,第二子层BL22的三线态能量可为2.45eV,第一子层BL21被配置的三线态能量和第二子层BL22被配置的三线态能量之间的差值可为0.07eV。
本公开提供了四种材料进行对比,四种材料对应的各项参数详见表1。

激子阻挡层BL可选用材料A至材料D中的任一者或者多者材料进行制 备,例如:采用材料B制备第一子层,采用材料A制备第二子层。
在一些实施例中,每个发光单元对应的发光层的材料可以相同。示例性地,第一发光层EML1可以包括第一主体材料和发光材料。第二发光层EML2也可以包括第一主体材料和发光材料。其中,第一主体材料可为宽带隙材料,宽带隙材料可以为包括咔唑基、咔啉基、螺芴基、芴基、硅基、膦氧基中的至少一种基团的化合物。发光材料可为磷光材料和荧光材料。例如,绿光发光材料、红光发光材料。
在一些实施例中,发光材料在第一主体材料中所占的比例为4%~15%。示例性的,发光材料可为磷光材料,第一主体材料可为宽带隙材料,磷光材料与宽带隙材料的比值范围为4%~15%。例如4%、5%、6%、7%、8%、9%、10%、11%、12%、13%、14%或者15%。在第一主体材料中掺杂发光材料,并调节发光材料在第一主体材料中的比例,能够提高发光层的发光效率。
在一些实施例中,第一发光层EML1中的第一主体材料和发光材料的比例,与第二发光层EML2中的第一主体材料和发光材料的比例可以有所差别。
第二发光层EML2的发光材料在第二发光层EML2的第一主体材料中所占的比例,可以大于、小于或者等于第一发光层EML1的发光材料在第一发光层EML1的第一主体材料中所占的比例。
在一些示例中,第二发光层EML2的发光材料在第二发光层EML2的第一主体材料中所占的比例,大于第一发光层EML1的发光材料在第一发光层EML1的第一主体材料中所占的比例。
示例性地,第二发光层EML2的发光材料在第二发光层EML2的第一主体材料中所占的比例,至多为第一发光层EML1的发光材料在第一主体材料中所占的比例的3倍。即,第二发光层EML2的发光材料在第二发光层EML2的第一主体材料中所占的比例,与第一发光层EML1的发光材料在第一发光层EML1的第一主体材料中所占的比例的比值处于1~3的范围内。例如1、2或者3。如此设置,可提高发光器件的寿命。
如图3所示,光取出层CPL覆盖发光器件层LDL,例如光取出层CPL直接位于第二电极CE上。光取出层CPL可以提高发光器件层LDL的出光效率,光取出层CPL的折射率较大,吸光系数较小。
在一些示例中,光取出层CPL在第一方向X上的尺寸可以处于50nm~80nm的范围内。光取出层CPL在波长对于460nm的光的折射率可以大于或等于1.8。例如1.8、1.9、2.0、2.1等等,此处不作限定。
如图9所示,封装层TFE用于封装发光功能层LDL和光取出层CPL。在 一些实施例中,封装层TFE可以包括堆叠设置的第一封装层ENL1、第二封装层ENL2和第三封装层ENL3。例如,第一封装层ENL1和第三封装层ENL3由无机材料制成,上述的无机材料选自氮化硅、氮化铝、氮化锆、氮化钛、氮化铪、氮化钽、氧化硅、氧化铝、氧化钛、氧化锡、氧化铈、氮氧化硅(SiON)或氟化锂中的至少一种。又例如,第二封装层ENL2由有机材料制成,上述的有机材料为烯酸树脂、甲基丙烯酸树脂、聚异戊二烯,乙烯基树脂、环氧树脂、聚氨酯树脂、纤维素树脂或二萘嵌苯树脂中的至少一种。本领域技术人员可以根据需要改变薄膜封装层TFE的层数、材料和结构,本公开不限于此。

表3续
可以从表2中看出,方案1~7中,方案4的激子阻挡层是单膜层结构,其余方案的激子阻挡层均为是双膜层结构。
从方案1、方案2和方案4可以看出,在其它条件相同的情况下,配备单膜层结构的激子阻挡层的发光器件所需的驱动电压较高,配备双膜层结构的激子阻挡层的发光器件所需的驱动电压较低。由此,可以得到双膜层结构的激子阻挡层相较于单膜层结构的激子阻挡层而言,能够降低发光器件的驱动电压的结论。
类似地,从方案1、方案2和方案4可以看出,在其它条件相同的情况下,配备单膜层结构的激子阻挡层的发光器件的发光效率,低于配备双膜层结构的激子阻挡层的发光器件的发光效率。由此,可以得到双膜层结构的激子阻挡层相较于单膜层结构的激子阻挡层而言,能够提高发光器件的发光效率的结论。
类似地,从方案1、方案2和方案4可以看出,在其它条件相同的情况下,配备单膜层结构的激子阻挡层的发光器件的寿命,低于配备双膜层结构的激子阻挡层的发光器件的寿命。由此,可以得到双膜层结构的激子阻挡层相较于单膜层结构的激子阻挡层而言,能够提高发光器件的寿命的结论。
方案1中第一激子阻挡层的第一子层采用材料B,第二子层采用材料A;第二激子阻挡层的第一子层采用材料D,第二子层采用材料C。方案3中第一激子阻挡层的第一子层采用材料D,第二子层采用材料C;第二激子阻挡层的第一子层采用材料B,第二子层采用材料A。结合表1可以理解为,方案1中第一激子阻挡层由空穴迁移率低的材料制备得到,且第二激子阻挡层由空穴迁移率高的材料制备得到;方案3中第一激子阻挡层由空穴迁移率高的材料制备得到,且第二激子阻挡层由空穴迁移率低的材料制备得到。从表3中可以看出,方案1的发光效率和寿命高于方案3的发光效率和寿命。也就是说,在其他条件相同的情况下,当第一发光器件的第一激子阻挡层的空穴迁移率低于第二激子阻挡层的迁移率,而第二发光器件的第一激子阻挡层的空穴迁移率高于第二激子阻挡层的空穴迁移率时,第一发光器件的发光效率和 寿命优于第二发光器件的发光效率和寿命。由此,可以得到,在第一激子阻挡层的空穴迁移率低且第二激子阻挡层的空穴迁移率高的发光器件的发光效率和寿命,优于第一激子阻挡层的空穴迁移率高且第二激子阻挡层的空穴迁移率低的发光器件的发光效率和寿命。
按照方案1、方案2和方案5的顺序可以看出,第一子层的厚度逐渐增加且第二子层的厚度逐渐减少。在其它条件相同的情况下,发光器件的发光效率先增加后减小。在第一子层的厚度和第二子层的厚度相等时,发光器件的发光效率达到较高值。由此,可以得到,当第一子层的厚度和第二子层的厚度相等时,发光器件的发光效率较好。
按照方案1、方案2和方案5的顺序可以看出,第一子层的厚度逐渐增加且第二子层厚度逐渐减少。在其它条件相同的情况下,发光器件的寿命先增加后减少。在第一子层的厚度和第二子层的厚度相等时,发光器件的寿命达到较高值。由此,可以得到,当第一子层的厚度和第二子层的厚度相等时,发光器件的寿命较长。
从方案1和方案6可以看出,在其它条件相同的情况下,随着第二发光层EML2中发光材料在第二发光层EML2中第一主体材料中所占比例的减少,发光器件的驱动电压和寿命逐渐降低,并且发光器件的发光效率逐渐提高。由此,可以得到,发光器件的驱动电压和寿命随着第二发光层EML2中发光材料在第二发光层中第一主体材料中所占比例的逐渐减少,而逐渐降低;发光器件的发光效率随着第二发光层EML2中发光材料在第二发光层中第一主体材料中所占比例的逐渐减少,而逐渐提高。
从方案1和方案7可以看出,在其它条件相同的情况下,随着P型电荷产生子层中P型掺杂材料在P型电荷产生子层中第二主体材料中所占的比例逐渐增加,发光器件的驱动电压逐渐降低,并且发光器件的发光效率和寿命逐渐提高。由此,可以得到,发光器件的驱动电压随着P型电荷产生子层中P型掺杂材料在P型电荷产生子层中第二主体材料中所占的比例的逐渐增加,而逐渐降低;发光器件的发光效率和寿命随着P型电荷产生子层中P型掺杂材料在P型电荷产生子层中第二主体材料中所占的比例的逐渐增加,而逐渐提高。
综上所述,本公开实施例提供的发光器件,通过将发光单元中的激子阻挡层BL设置为第一子层和第二子层叠置的双膜层结构,能够提高激子阻挡层阻挡电子的性能,能够便于第一发光层EML1的激子复合区域与第二发光层EML2的激子复合区域尽可能地接近,从而提高发光器件的发光效率。此外, 还能实现发光器件的低电压驱动并延长发光器件的使用寿命。
