  • Publication number: 20060066220
    Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, a microcavity OLED device that minimizes or eliminates color change at different viewing angles is fabricated. This OLED device includes a multi-layer mirror on a substrate, and each of the layers are comprised of a non-absorbing material. The OLED device also includes a first electrode on the multi-layered first mirror, and the first electrode is substantially transparent. An emissive layer is on the first electrode. A second electrode is on the emissive layer, and the second electrode is substantially reflective and functions as a mirror. The multi-layer mirror and the second electrode form a microcavity that amplifies a particular wavelength that is in resonance with an optical length of the microcavity. The emissive layer is comprised of a material that has an emission spectrum with no luminance components with significant intensity at wavelengths shorter than a wavelength at which a color change begins to occur.

  • Publication number: 20050253503
    Abstract: In a first embodiment of the present invention, in order to increase the number of holes injected into the emissive layer, an intermixed layer is formed from the intermixing of the hole transport layer (“HTL”) and the emissive layer. The intermixed layer is between the HTL and the emissive layer of the OLED device. Alternatively, in a second embodiment of the present invention, in order to increase the number of holes injected into the emissive layer, a separate interlayer is incorporated within the OLED device. The interlayer is comprised of a hole transport material in which one of its components is at least partially replaced with one of the components of the emissive layer that is responsible for hole injection and transport. The separate interlayer is between the anode and the emissive layer of the OLED device. One or more intermediate layers may be present between the interlayer and the anode such as, for example, a HTL may be present between those two layers.
