    Abstract: OLEDs having increased illumination are disclosed. The OLEDs have light emitting layers with periodic grain sizes. In particular, by depositing smaller particles at the boundaries of the emitting layers, the injection rate of carriers is improved in the emitting layers and by depositing larger particles in the middle of the emitting layers, the carrier density is increased, which increases electron-hole recombination. Increased recombination facilitates radiative emission of exitons from the OLED. As a result of the periodic grain size structure of the emitting layers, the electroluminescence and durability of the OLEDs are improved.

  • Patent number: 8329505
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention explore solution-based deposition of a cathode for an OLED structure. A typical embodiment of the invention may include a method performed according to the following steps: Glass substrates including deposited Indium Tin-Oxide (ITO) are prepared. The substrates are subjected to ultrasonic cleaning with deionized water and organic solvents. Features are etched into the ITO using high concentration HCl solution. A hole injecting layer is deposited by spin coater. The layer is annealed on a hot plate, then a polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) polymer is deposited by spin coater and annealed on a hot plate. Low work function cathode metal is then deposited in an electroless solution and annealed on a hot plate. The device is encapsulated.

  • Publication number: 20120305922
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a technique to manufacture a display device with high image quality and high reliability at low cost with high yield. The invention has spacers over a pixel electrode layer in a pixel region and over an insulating layer functioning as a partition which covers the periphery of the pixel electrode layer. When forming a light emitting material over a pixel electrode layer, a mask for selective formation is supported by the spacers, thereby preventing the mask from contacting the pixel electrode layer due to a twist and deflection thereof. Accordingly, such damage as a crack by the mask does not occur in the pixel electrode layer. Thus, the pixel electrode layer does not have a defect in shapes, thereby a display device which performs a high resolution display with high reliability can be manufactured.

A first light-emitting layer (5a) is made of a host material higher in HOMO than an organic light-emitting material (|HOMO (host material for first light-emitting layer)|>|HOMO (phosphorescence-emitting material)|). A second light-emitting layer (5c) is made of a host material lower in LUMO than the organic light-emitting material (|LUMO (host material for second light-emitting layer) |<|LUMO (phosphorescence-emitting material)|). A third light-emitting layer (5b) is made of a material higher in HOMO and lower in LUMO than the organic light-emitting material (|HOMO (host material for third light-emitting layer)|>|HOMO (phosphorescence-emitting material)|, |LUMO (host material for third light-emitting layer)|<|LUMO (phosphorescence-emitting material)|). This ensures transferring holes and electrons to the third light-emitting layer (5c).
