Patent number: 9136475Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method of favorably forming an organic EL device with the inverted structure by the wet process. On that account, an organic EL device includes a cathode, an electron injection layer, a light emitting layer, a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer, an anode are formed in this order on a substrate. The electron injection layer is formed by applying ink between banks and drying the ink. The ink is formed by dissolving a polymer compound having an organic phosphine oxide skeleton in an alcohol solvent. The light emitting layer is formed by applying ink between components of the bank and the drying the ink. The ink is formed by dissolving material for light emitting layer such as polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) derivative or polyfluorene derivative in a nonpolar solvent.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignees: JOLED INC., DYDEN CORPORATIONInventors: Kenji Okumoto, Gosuke Sakamoto, Masaomi Shibata, Izumi Kakinoki, Masataka Watanabe, Tomoko Matoba, Mitsuharu Noto, Yasuyuki Goto

Patent number: 9048206Abstract: An organic EL display panel has a transistor array substrate, an inter-layer insulation film, pixel electrodes, an organic EL layer, and a common electrode. The transistor array substrate has drive units, including TFT elements. The inter-layer insulation film covers the transistor array substrate, and has contact holes corresponding to the drive units. The pixel electrodes on the inter-layer insulation film correspond to the drive units, and are electrically connected thereto via the contact holes. The organic EL layer covers regions where the pixel electrodes are and are not disposed. The common electrode covers the entire organic EL layer. Organic EL layer regions corresponding to the contact holes of the inter-layer insulation film and between neighboring pixel electrodes have greater electrical resistance than other regions.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: JOLED INC.Inventors: Kenji Okumoto, Masaomi Shibata

Publication number: 20150108458Abstract: An organic EL element of the present disclosure is an organic EL element having an inverted structure including a first hole injection layer containing a first organic material whose LUMO level is ?4 eV or less. The organic EL element further includes a second hole injection layer containing a second organic material. The second hole injection layer is disposed between the first hole injection layer and an anode. The roughness of a principal surface of the second hole injection layer on the side of the anode is smaller than the roughness of a principal surface of the first hole injection layer on the side of the second hole injection layer. L1, L2, and EA satisfy formula: ?EA?2 eV?L2?L1+2 eV, where the first organic material has a LUMO level L1, the second organic material has a LUMO level L2, and the anode has an electron affinity EA.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2014Publication date: April 23, 2015Inventors: MASAOMI SHIBATA, KENJI OKUMOTO, GOSUKE SAKAMOTO
