INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an organic light emitting device (OLEDs), a white organic light device using a germanium emitting layer to generate white light. [Prior Art] Compared with non-organic light-emitting devices, since (OLEDs) use organic materials as light-emitting layers: the OLEDs are 磲亍_ «=* sentences from the 回 回 回 速 速 犹 犹 犹 犹The good quality of the port and the color of the color of the color display, it can show that good color OLEDs have many such as thin, compact and heavy, which is suitable as a portable information communication display. ^ and so on, so when using LEDs that emit white light to implement the use of color filters to produce color. In this case;;: ordering = two can: several advantages are expected such as the defective rate; a metal mask with a fine pattern is subtly moved and the H blue (RGB) emitting layer 75 is deposited. . /, 畚i light and red light emitting layer of white light GLED has the same as shown in Figure 1 (4) = anode 1 is deposited on the substrate, and - hole transmission and the shot layer 10 '- hole blocking and red light emission The layer η, the electron transport layer 12 and a cathode 9, are sequentially deposited on the anode 1. It is also possible to transmit a hole to the blue light emitting layer 13, a red light emitting layer 14, - and the barrier layer 15', an electron transport layer 16 and a cathode 9 are deposited on the anode 1 to obtain White light emission. 1249368 Both of the above mentioned structures have the same drive principle, as explained below. When a driving voltage is applied between the anode 1 and the cathode 9, the holes injected from the anode are transferred to the red light emitting layers U and 借 by the hole transport layers 1 and 13. At this time, the hole barrier layer 15 having the highest filled sub-track domain (HOMO) blocks the hole 'from reaching the cathode 9. At the same time, electrons are injected from the cathode 9 through the electron transport layers 12 and 16, and the red light emitting layers u and 14 are implanted, and when the carrier is at the interface and the hole transport layers 1G and 13 and the red light emitting layer _ 14 Most of the place, when recombined with the hole, produces excitons. Light is emitted when the generated excitons transition to equilibrium. That is, the hole transport layers 10 and 13 emit blue light, and the red light emitting layers u and 14 emit red light' to generate white light from the two colors of light. In the organic light emitting device (OLED) operated in the above manner, since the distribution of the exciton is difficult to control, and the distribution of the excitons is rapidly doubled with the application of electric charge, it is difficult to control the purity of white light. In addition, since the white light system is composed only of two kinds of light, that is, blue light emitted only by excitons generated by the hole transport layers 1 and 13 and red light emitted by excitons generated by the red light emitting layers u and 14 Composition, and thus its efficiency in producing white light is low. Even if a color filter is used, it is also difficult to apply to a color display device because the white light generated therein also includes a little green light. Figure 2 illustrates an energy level diagram of a conventional white OLED with three layers of emissive layers. An anode 1 is deposited on the bottom layer, a hole transport layer 18, a 1249368 blue light emitting layer 19, a green light emitting layer 20, and a red light emitting layer 21 are sequentially deposited on the anode 1, and then thereon An electron transport layer 22 and a cathode 9 are deposited. The OLED having the above structure produces white light in accordance with the following principle. When a voltage is applied between the anode 1 and the cathode 9, a hole and an electron system are injected from the anode 1 and the cathode 9, respectively. The injected holes and electrons pass through the hole transport layer 18 and the electron transport layer 22, respectively, and excitons are generated in the three light-emitting layers 19, 20 and 21. The generated excitons are arbitrarily distributed in the three-layer light-emitting layers 19, 20 and 21, and are transitioned to a balanced state to emit light. However, the OLED operated in the above manner also has difficulty in controlling the purity of white light due to the difficulty in controlling the number of excitons that emit the red, green and blue light, and the light emission efficiency is low. Further, there is a problem of structural limitation that the blue light emitting layer must be closer to the anode 1 than the green light emitting layer 20 and the red light emitting layer 21 from the energy level viewpoint.

Owt. %的 DCM。 在該紅光發射層5上,藉由NPB真空沉積,形成一能 夠控制該激子分布的白光平衡層6,該白光平衡層6係具 有厚度17A。 接下來,藉由真空沉積DPVBi,在該白光平衡層6之 上形成一藍光發射層7,並藉由真空沉積Alq3,在該藍光 發射層7之上形成一電子傳輸層8。該藍光發射層7係具 有厚度180A,而該電子傳輸層8則具有厚度120A。 緊接著,在該電子傳輸層8之上沉積一厚度為10A之 LiF電子注入層。然後在該LiF層之上沉積一厚度為 2, 000A的A1層,以形成一陰極9。 在得到的0LED中,藉由在該紅光發射層5及該藍光 發射層7間所形成之白光平衡層6,係可望產生該電子阻 擋效應。由於此效應,一部分電子對摻雜DPVBi之藍光發 射層7的光發射做出貢獻,另一部分電子對摻雜DCM之紅 光發射層5貢獻橘紅光之發射,而其它部分電子則對摻雜 香豆素之綠光發射層4貢獻綠光之發射。 圖六顯示依據本發明第一實施例白光0LED之光發射 光譜、色坐標及效率特性。 在圖六之發射光譜中,很容易就可看出紅、綠和藍光 係均勻地對產生白光做出貢獻,它們的波峰分別位於455 nm,510 nm和590 nm附近。此時,所發出之白光其色坐 標位置為(0· 33,0· 38),而發光效率則為6. lcd/A, 19 1249368 2.31m/W〇 [第二實施例] 該第二實施例與該第一實施例相比,該第二實施例係 具有下述兩個與該第一實施例迥異之特性。NPB與紅熒烯 係在真空下同時沉積形成該紅光發射層5,該紅光發射層 5含有97wt. %的NPB和3wt. %的紅熒稀。該白光平衡層6 係具有厚度19A,以協調顏色之純度。 結果,在該第二實施例中,一部分激子對該紅光發射 層5之紅熒烯貢獻黃橘色光發射,另一部分激子對藍光與 綠光發射做出貢獻,使藉由控制該白光平衡層6之厚度變 化協調顏色之純度。 圖七顯示依據本發明第二實施例白光OLED之光發射 光譜、色坐標及效率特性。 參照圖七之發射光譜,紅、綠和藍全部三種顏色係對 白光發射都做出貢獻,每種顏色係分別具有最大波長峰 455 nm,511 nm及560 nm。在此種情況下,所發出之白 光係具有色坐標位置為(0.28,0.36),而發光效率則為 6· 8cd/A,2·51m/W。 [第三實施例] 第三實施例與第二實施例係方法相同,但是在該第三 實施例中,所形成的該白光平衡層6之厚度係為17A。 如上所述,該白光平衡層6係控制影響光發射之電子 分佈。也就是說,該白光平衡層6控制該激子之分布。例 如,如果形成於該紅光發射層5和該藍光發射層7間之該 20 1249368 —W 9 6的厚度減小,由於該電子阻擔效應之減少, «光發射層7對白光發射之貢獻乃減少,而該綠光發射 層4與該、红光發射層5對白光發射之貢獻則增加。因為該 表光$ 光之貝獻增加,所以該白光之色坐標位置乃向長 波長位置移動。 圖八顯不依據本發明第三實施例白光OLED之光發射 光4、色坐標及效率特性。 "亥圖八之發射光譜係完全支持上述說明,而且在此種 It况下所發出之白光係具有一色坐標位置為(〇· 31, 〇·40)及一發光效率為 7.1cd/A,2.31m/W。 [第一比較實施例] 為了比較第一實施例至第三實施例,製備了一無激子 阻擔^構之qLed。而其特性則將在下文中加以說明。 厚度為1,800A之ITO (氧化銦錫)係被沉積在一玻 璃基板上,使形成_陽極。在該ITQ之上,藉由真空沉積 m MTDTA’使形成—厚度為4_之電洞注入層。在該電洞 注入層上,藉由真空沉積NPB,使形成一厚度為1〇〇A之 電洞傳輸層。 在該電洞傳輸層上,藉真空沉積NPB和紅熒烯,以製 備居度為140A之綠光發射層。在此步驟中,兩種材料係 同時沉積,而且該綠光發射層係含有97wt·%的之NPB與 3· Owt· %之紅熒烯。 緊接著,在該藍光發射層上,形成控制激子分布且具 有厚度為17A之白光平衡層。同時藉真空沉積Α1φ和香豆 21 1249368 素,以製備一具有厚度為l2〇A之紅光發射層。此處,該 紅光發射層中係具有99wt. %的Alq3和1· Owt· %的香豆素。 接下來,藉由真空沉積DPVBi,在該紅光發射層上形 成一厚度為180A之藍光發射層。 接著’在藍光發射層上形成一厚度為150A之電子傳 輸層。並藉由真空沉積一厚度為1〇A之LiF電子注入層及 一厚度為2, 000A之A1電極,使形成一 〇LED。The hole injection layer 2 and the hole transport layer 3 are formed in the hole. The above material has the hole injection layer 2 formed on the anode 1 and has a thickness of preferably between 400 A and 1,500 A; the hole transport layer 3 has a thickness of 100 A to 500 A. The difference between them is better. In the present embodiment, the OLED system includes an insulating substrate 1A which is generally used as a typical OLED. In essence, the substrate is preferably a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate having good transparency, a very flat surface, easy handling, and good water resistance. The anode 1 is composed of a material having excellent transparency and conductivity, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), Sn 2 , ZnO, etc., so as to have a thickness of between 1,0 qqa and 2,000 Å. 1249368 The cathode 9 is composed of a metal such as Li, Mg, A1, M-Li Ca Mg-In, Mg-Ag, etc., so as to have a thickness between i _A to 2 and just A. Here, the cathode 9 is the most It consists of a layer of high activity, low work function and a thickness of 5,00A i 5,000A. This two-layer structure is suitable for the stability and efficiency of the device. The electron transport layer 8 is composed of an -electron transport layer material such as tris(8-quinoquine)aluminum (Alq3) so as to have an intermediate degree. The white light balance layer 6 is composed of [N,N,-bis(naphthalenyl)phenyl]-N,N-bis(phenyl)biphenyldiamine (NpB) (=a-NpD), Has a thickness between 10A and 30A. Figure 2B is a diagram showing the energy level structure of a white germanium LED in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The white light balance layer 6 having an electron blocking effect is interposed between the red light emitting layer 5 and the blue light emitting layer 7; and the green light emitting layer having a low LUM〇 (lowest empty molecular domain) level 4 is inserted between the hole transport layer 3 and the red light emitting layer 5 to form a quantum well, that is, the exciton confinement structure 17. In this configuration, the desired thickness of the white light balancing layer 6 is between ι and 30 A depending on the contribution of white light generation. By adjusting the thickness of the white light balancing layer 6, the number of electrons reaching the red light emitting layer 5 and the green light emitting layer 4 can be controlled, and the number of electrons accumulated at the interface of the white light balancing layer 6 due to the energy wall can be controlled. . In order to form the exciton confinement structure 17, the green light-emitting layer 4 is required to be inserted between the hole transport layer 3 and the red light-emitting layer 5 to form a good-form energy level structure. As described above, the white OLED according to an embodiment of the present invention has a winter structure sequentially deposited in the following order: an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a green light emitting layer, a red light emitting layer, a white light balancing layer, Blue light emitting layer, electron transport layer and cathode. Wherein the red light emitting layer can be replaced by a yellow light emitting layer. Depending on the energy level or the arrangement of the matrix material used, the position of the red or yellow light-emitting layer 5 and the white light-balancing layer 6 can be exchanged in the sequentially accumulated organic layer. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the device can be formed in the following order: anode, hole injection layer, hole transport layer, green light emitting layer, white light balance layer, red light emitting layer, blue light emitting layer, electron transport layer and cathode. As shown in FIG. 5, in order to obtain a highly efficient white OLED, the apparatus may further include an emission enhancement layer 23 between the blue emission layer 7 and the electron transport layer 8 to increase the emission efficiency of the blue emission layer 7. The emission enhancement layer 23 has a multilayer structure such as a blue emission layer/η-type layer, a blue emission layer/p-type layer, and a blue emission layer/n-type layer/p type layer. In the white OLED of the embodiment of the invention, excitons generated during operation of the device are controlled according to each contribution of the red light emitting layer 5, the green light emitting layer 4, and the blue light emitting layer 7, Appropriately distributed, and the white light balancing layer 6 is used to generate white light. Therefore, the maximum emission efficiency of each color can be obtained without depending on the structure of the red, green and blue light layers, such as the concentration of the dopant and the thickness of the emission layers. 16 1249368 Referring to FIG. 1, through the hole blocking effect of the hole blocking layers 10 and 15, a conventional white OLED is formed by the hole transmitting layers 1 and 13 and the layers of the emitting layers 11 and 14 The light guided at its interface emits white light. However, in the present invention, the white light balance layer 6 controls the electron distribution by the electron blocking effect, so that excitons 'unused in the blue light-emitting layer 7 can be dedicated to the red light-emitting layer 5 And the green light emitting layer 4. In the case of using a hole blocking layer (HBL) material as shown in Fig. 1, in order to satisfy the launching mechanism in this order, certain structural limitations are unavoidable. For example, the blue light-emitting layer 1 must be deposited in the red light, and the shots U, 14 and 21 are closer to the anode 1. However, the white OLED according to the embodiment of the present invention does not have this limitation. Moreover, by the doping of the hole transport layer 5 having a considerable sound for the lifetime of the organic optical device, it is possible to use energy between the subject and the object: a solution such as when the hole transport layer 5 is exposed When it comes to the system, it will shorten the problem and cause degradation. People! "Sub-resistance structure 17 is used to solve the problem in the _ field before the problem, that is, when the (four) light-emitting layer 4 is deposited on the anode 1 green and illusion rr equalization three kinds of balanced light (red, sub-barrier (4) This is limited and can be obtained. Because the excitons of the second are issued, the resolution of the low-recording problem is solved by 17 1249368. This problem is not only a typical problem of using the HBL of the transmitting device; It is also a typical problem of obtaining white light white OLEDs by three layers of emissive layers. Moreover, with the above quantum well structure, since the excess excitons that are not used by blue light and red light emission only participate in green light emission, they are not blocked. It is beneficial to contribute to the anode 1 during light emission. The anode 1 is one reason for the shortened service life of the device. Several preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below, which will relate to the thickness and material of each layer. The following embodiments are provided to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. The following embodiments will be described with reference numerals in FIG. 3. [First Embodiment] ITO ( oxygen Indium tin) is deposited on a glass substrate 100 to form an anode 1 having a thickness of 1800 A. On the substrate 100 of the ITO coating, m-MTDTA is deposited by vacuum deposition to form a thickness of 400 A. Hole injection layer 2. On the hole injection layer 2, NPB is vacuum deposited to form a hole transport layer 3 having a thickness of 100 A. On the hole transport layer 3, by vacuum deposition Αίφ and Coumarin 6 forms a green light-emitting layer 4 having a thickness of 180 Å. In this step, the two materials are simultaneously deposited, and the green light-emitting layer 4 contains 99 wt·% of Alq3 and 1 wt.%. Coumarin 6. Next, by vacuum deposition of NPB and DCM, a red light emitting layer 5 having a thickness of 120 A is formed. NPB and DCM are simultaneously deposited in the same manner as the green light emitting layer 4 18 1249368. The red light emitting layer 5 contains 96 wt. % of NPB and 4. Owt. % of DCM. On the red light emitting layer 5, a white light balance capable of controlling the exciton distribution is formed by NPB vacuum deposition. Layer 6, the white light balancing layer 6 has a thickness of 17 A. Next, by vacuum deposition of DPVBi, A blue light emitting layer 7 is formed on the white light balancing layer 6, and an electron transporting layer 8 is formed on the blue light emitting layer 7 by vacuum deposition of Alq3. The blue light emitting layer 7 has a thickness of 180A, and the electron transporting layer 8 has a thickness of 120 A. Next, a LiF electron injection layer having a thickness of 10 A is deposited on the electron transport layer 8. Then, an A1 layer having a thickness of 2,000 A is deposited on the LiF layer to form a cathode. 9. In the obtained OLED, the electron blocking effect is expected to occur by the white light balancing layer 6 formed between the red light emitting layer 5 and the blue light emitting layer 7. Due to this effect, a part of the electrons contribute to the light emission of the blue light-emitting layer 7 doped with DPVBi, and another part of the electrons contributes the emission of orange-red light to the red light-emitting layer 5 doped with DCM, while other parts of the electrons are doped with incense The green light emitting layer 4 of the soybean contributes to the emission of green light. Figure 6 shows the light emission spectrum, color coordinates, and efficiency characteristics of a white OLED according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the emission spectrum of Figure 6, it is easy to see that the red, green, and blue light lines uniformly contribute to the generation of white light, and their peaks are located near 455 nm, 510 nm, and 590 nm, respectively. At this time, the emitted white light has a color coordinate position of (0·33, 0·38), and the luminous efficiency is 6. lcd/A, 19 1249368 2.31 m/W 〇 [Second embodiment] The second embodiment The second embodiment has the following two characteristics which are different from the first embodiment as compared with the first embodiment. The red light-emitting layer 5 was formed by simultaneous deposition of NPB and rubrene under vacuum, and the red light-emitting layer 5 contained 97 wt.% of NPB and 3 wt.% of red phosphore. The white light balancing layer 6 has a thickness of 19 A to coordinate the purity of the color. As a result, in the second embodiment, a part of the excitons contributes yellow-orange light emission to the rubrene of the red light-emitting layer 5, and another part of the excitons contributes to blue light and green light emission, by controlling the white light The thickness of the balancing layer 6 changes to match the purity of the color. Figure 7 shows the light emission spectrum, color coordinates, and efficiency characteristics of a white light OLED according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the emission spectrum of Figure 7, all three colors of red, green, and blue contribute to white light emission, and each color has a maximum wavelength peak of 455 nm, 511 nm, and 560 nm, respectively. In this case, the white light emitted has a color coordinate position of (0.28, 0.36), and the luminous efficiency is 6.8 cd/A, 2.51 m/W. [Third Embodiment] The third embodiment is the same as the second embodiment, but in the third embodiment, the white light balance layer 6 is formed to have a thickness of 17A. As described above, the white light balance layer 6 controls the distribution of electrons that affect light emission. That is, the white light balance layer 6 controls the distribution of the excitons. For example, if the thickness of the 20 1249368 - W 9 6 formed between the red light emitting layer 5 and the blue light emitting layer 7 is reduced, the contribution of the light emitting layer 7 to white light emission is reduced due to the reduction of the electron blocking effect. It is reduced, and the contribution of the green light-emitting layer 4 and the red light-emitting layer 5 to white light emission is increased. Since the surface light is increased by the light, the color coordinate position of the white light is shifted to the long wavelength position. Figure 8 shows light emission light 4, color coordinates and efficiency characteristics of a white light OLED according to a third embodiment of the present invention. "Haitu Ba's emission spectrum fully supports the above description, and the white light emitted in this It state has a color coordinate position of (〇·31, 〇·40) and a luminous efficiency of 7.1 cd/A. 2.31m/W. [First Comparative Example] In order to compare the first to third embodiments, an excimer-free qLed was prepared. Its characteristics will be explained below. An ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) having a thickness of 1,800 A was deposited on a glass substrate to form an anode. On top of the ITQ, a hole having a thickness of 4 mm is formed by vacuum deposition of m MTDTA'. On the hole injection layer, a hole transport layer having a thickness of 1 Å was formed by vacuum deposition of NPB. On the hole transport layer, NPB and rubrene were vacuum deposited to prepare a green light emitting layer having a residence temperature of 140A. In this step, the two materials are simultaneously deposited, and the green light emitting layer contains 97 wt% of NPB and 3.0 wt% of rubrene. Next, on the blue light-emitting layer, a white light balance layer having a thickness of 17 A was formed which controlled the exciton distribution. At the same time, a red light emitting layer having a thickness of 12 Å was prepared by vacuum deposition of Α1φ and fragrant bean 21 1249368. Here, the red light emitting layer has 99 wt.% of Alq3 and 1.0% by weight of coumarin. Next, a blue light-emitting layer having a thickness of 180 A was formed on the red light-emitting layer by vacuum deposition of DPVBi. Next, an electron transport layer having a thickness of 150 A was formed on the blue light-emitting layer. A 〇LED was formed by vacuum deposition of a LiF electron injection layer having a thickness of 1 Å and an A1 electrode having a thickness of 2,000 Å.

Referring to the spectrum of Fig. 9, we can find that in the first comparative example, '+ does not have the exciton blocking effect, and it is impossible to obtain the self-lighting system because the peak of the blue region is significantly reduced, so that only Waves in the yellow-green zone contribute to light emission. Therefore, the light emitted has a color of (4). (4), and is a kind of pale yellow light. [First Comparative Embodiment]

FIG. 10 shows light emission spectra, color coordinates, and efficiency characteristics of a white OLED according to a second comparative example of the present invention. 'All excitons are distributed on the green light emitting layer of the rubrene' to cause yellow light. That is, since there is no white light balance layer that emits blue light according to the electron blocking effect, there is no blue light emission. Therefore, The emitted light system has a color coordinate position of (〇46, 〇47). At the same time, the first, second and third embodiments and the first and second comparative embodiments according to the present invention have brightness efficiency and maximum brightness. The characteristics of quantum efficiency and color coordinates are listed in Table 1. <Table 1> Brightness efficiency (cd/A) Maximum brightness (cd/rri) Energy efficiency (lm/W) Color coordinates (x, y First Embodiment 6.1 _ 10,180 2.3 0.33, 0.38 Second Embodiment 6.8 ---- 11,570 2.5 0.28, 0.36 Third Embodiment 7.1 12,650 2.3 0.31, 0.40 First Comparative Example 8.1 ----- 13,500 3.5 0.37 , 0.54 Second Comparative Example 9.3 ~ 14, 620 3.8 0.46, 0.47 Referring to Table 1, it can be seen that, from the contribution of the three-color emission to the white light emission, the exciton blocking effect is provided with or without the exciton blocking effect of the GLED systems in the first to third embodiments of the white light balancing layer. The structure may be more suitable for the first and second comparative embodiments without the 23 1249368 white light balancing layer. The OLED system of the present invention includes the white light balancing layer capable of controlling the exciton distribution, and further comprising capable of generating a balanced amount of red light, green The exciton blocking structure of white light of light and blue light. As a result, according to the present invention, the color purity of the emitted light is easily adjusted, and the maximum luminous efficiency of the multilayer emission layer greatly improves the luminous efficiency of the device. It contains all three colors of white light, so a color display can be produced by using a color filter. These characteristics distinguish the present invention from the conventional OLED. The conventional OLED is considered to have a color purity in consideration of the multilayer light-emitting layer. The maximum luminous efficiency is greater, or white light containing only two colors is produced. The invention should not be considered limited to the above.
