  • Publication number: 20090315024
    Abstract: An organic luminescence device including an electron transport layer, which comprises an electron transporting material and a metal oxide represented by Formula 1: AaOb. In Formula 1: A is Li, Mo, Ba, B, or Cs; a is a number in the range of 1 to 3; and b is a number in the range of 1 to 3. The electron transporting material reduces an electron injection barrier and the resistance at the interface between an EML and an ETL, resulting in an increase in the lifespan of the organic luminescence device. The numbers of holes and electrons injected to the EML are balanced, and driving characteristics of the organic luminescence device are improved.

  • Patent number: 7547462
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat panel display, and more particularly, to a method of fabricating an organic light emitting display device so as to improve device characteristics by patterning a plurality of organic layers using a heat transfer method to optimize thicknesses according to R, G and B pixels. The method includes: forming lower electrodes of R, G and B pixels on an insulating substrate; forming an organic layer on the insulating substrate; and forming an upper electrode on the organic layer. Formation of the organic layer includes forming a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer of the R, G and B pixels on the entire surface of the substrate as a common layer. The R and G emission layers are patterned by a heat transfer method using a heat transfer device having a transfer layer such that an organic layer is patterned to a thickness obtained by subtracting a thickness of the B emission layer from the thicknesses of the R and G emission layers required in R and G colors.
