## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0053619, filed on May 2, 2014, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
BACKGROUND
1. Field
One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to organic light-emitting devices.
2. Description of the Related Art
Organic light emitting devices are self-emission devices that exhibit wide viewing angles; high contrast ratios; short response time; excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics; and provide multi-coloration.
The organic light-emitting device may have a structure in which a first electrode is formed on a substrate and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport layer, and a second electrode are sequentially formed on the first electrode.
Holes injected from the first electrode move to the emission layer via the hole transport region and electrons injected from the second electrode move to the emission layer via the electron transport region. Carriers such as holes and electrons are recombined in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons change from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.
SUMMARY

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
The drawing schematically illustrates a structure of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.



DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Reference will now be made in more detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the drawing, to explain aspects of the present description. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one selected from,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.
As the invention allows for various changes and numerous embodiments, exemplary embodiments will be illustrated in the drawing and described in detail in the written description. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to particular modes of practice, and it is to be appreciated that all changes, equivalents, and substitutes that do not depart from the spirit and technical scope of the present invention are encompassed in the present invention. In the description of the present invention, certain detailed explanations of the related art are omitted when it is deemed that they may unnecessarily obscure the essence of the invention.
The terms used in the present specification are merely used to describe exemplary embodiments, and are not intended to limit the scope of the the present invention. An expression used in the singular encompasses the expression of the plural, unless it has a clearly different meaning in the context. In the present specification, it is to be understood that the terms such as “including”, “having”, or “comprising” are intended to indicate the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to preclude the possibility that one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof may exist or may be added.
It will be understood that when a layer, region, or component is referred to as being “formed on” another layer, region, or component, it can be directly or indirectly formed on the other layer, region, or component. That is, for example, intervening layers, regions, or components may be present.
Sizes of components in the drawing may be exaggerated for convenience of explanation. In other words, since sizes and thicknesses of components in the drawing are arbitrarily illustrated for convenience of explanation, the following embodiments are not limited thereto.
As used herein, the term “organic layer” refers to all single and/or multiple layers disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode in the organic light-emitting device. Materials included in the “organic layer” are not limited to organic materials.
As used herein, the term “pyrrolidine-based compound” refers to all organic compounds including at least one pyrrolidine moiety. The pyrrolidine moiety may be substituted with at least one substituent.
As used herein, the term “electron transporting compound” refers to all compounds having electron mobility of about 1.0×10−7 cm2/(V·s) to about 1.0×10−3 cm2/(V·s). The electron transporting compound may have electron mobility of about 1.0×10−5 cm2/(V·s) or greater.
As used herein, the term “hole transporting compound” refers to all compounds having hole mobility of about 1.0×10−7 cm2/(V·s) to about 1.0×10−3 cm2/(V·s). The hole transport compound may have hole mobility of about 1.0×10−5 cm2/(V·s) or greater.
Although a method of measuring the hole mobility is not limited, a time of flight method may be used (i.e., utilized). The time of flight method includes measuring time properties (transient response time) of transient current that occur due to irradiating light having a wavelength within the absorption wavelength region of the organic layer from an electrode/organic layer/electrode structure, and calculating hole mobility from the formula below.

Hole mobility=(thickness of the organic layer)2/(transient response time·applied voltage)

The organic light-emitting device includes a first electrode, a second electrode disposed opposite to (facing) the first electrode, and an organic layer that is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and includes an emission layer; an electron transport region disposed between the second electrode and the emission layer; a mixed layer disposed between the emission layer and the electron transport region and including a first material and a second material; wherein the first material and the second material are pyrrolidine-based compounds; and triplet energy EgT1 of at least one selected from the first material and the second material is 2.2 eV or greater.
The first material and the second material have different electron transporting capabilities and hole transporting capabilities. A material having relatively greater hole transporting capability among the first material and the second material may play a role in blocking the movement of electrons from the second electrode to the emission layer. A material having relatively greater electron transporting capability among the first material and the second material may play a role in moving electrons from the second electrode to the emission layer, such that a current may flow between the first electrode and the second electrode.
In the organic light-emitting device, some electrons moving from the second electrode to the emission layer may be blocked, such that the number of holes moving from the first electrode to the emission layer and the number of electrons moving from the second electrode to the emission layer may achieve balance. Accordingly, the organic light-emitting device may decrease the number of (surplus) electrons and/or holes that failed to form excitons in the emission layer, and thus, the organic light-emitting device may have long lifespan properties.
Triplet energy of at least one material selected from the first material and the second material may be higher than triplet energy of a host of the emission layer and thus, triplet exciton state in the emission layer may be trapped in the emission layer. When at least one material of the first material and the second material has triplet energy EgT1 of 2.2 eV or greater, the triplet exciton state in the emission layer may be trapped inside the emission layer more effectively.
Triplet energy of the first material and the second material may be 4.0 eV or lower, but it is not limited thereto. Triplet energy of the first material and the second material may be 3.5 eV or lower, but it is not limited thereto.
For example, any one of the first material and the second material may be selected from an electron transporting compound and a hole transporting compound, but it is not limited thereto. The first material may be an electron transporting compound. The second material may be an electron transporting compound. The first material may be a hole transporting compound. The second material may be a hole transporting compound.
In another embodiment, the first material and the second material may be selected from the electron transporting compound and the hole transporting compound, but they are not limited thereto. The first material may be a hole transporting compound and the second material may be an electron transporting compound. The first material may be an electron transporting compound and the second material may be a hole transporting compound.
For example, the electron transport region may include an electron transport layer, and the emission layer and the electron transport layer may be adjacent to each other (for example, in a structure of the emission layer/the mixed layer/the electron transport layer), but it is not limited thereto.
For example, the first material and the second material may be selected from pyrrolidine-based compounds represented by any one of Formulae 1 and 2, but they are not limited thereto:

The drawing schematically illustrates a cross-section of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The organic light-emitting device 10 includes a first electrode 110, an organic layer 150, and a second electrode 190.
Hereinafter, a structure and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawing.
A substrate may be additionally disposed under the first electrode 110 or above the second electrode 190 in the drawing. The substrate may be a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate with excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water resistance.
The first electrode 110 may be formed by, for example, depositing or sputtering a first electrode material on the substrate. When the first electrode 110 is an anode, the material for the first electrode 110 may be selected from materials with a high work function to facilitate hole injection. The first electrode 110 may be a reflective electrode, a transflective electrode, or a transmissive electrode. The material for the first electrode 110 may be a transparent material with high conductivity, and examples of such a material are indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO2), and zinc oxide (ZnO). Alternatively, at least one of magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag), or the like may be used as the first electrode material for manufacturing the first electrode 110 of the transflective electrode or the transmissive electrode.
The first electrode 110 may have a single-layered structure or a multi-layered structure. For example, the first electrode 110 may have a three-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but it is not limited thereto.
The organic layer 150 may be disposed on the first electrode 110 and include an emission layer.
The organic layer 150 may include a hole transport region disposed between the first electrode 110 and the emission layer, an electron transport region disposed between the emission layer and the second electrode, and a mixed layer disposed between the emission layer and the electron transport region.
The hole transport region may include at least one selected from a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a buffer layer, and an electron blocking layer (EBL), and the electron transport region may include at least one selected from a hole-blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL), but they are not limited thereto.
The hole transport region may include a single layer formed of a single material, a single layer formed of a plurality of different materials, or a multi-layered structure including a plurality of layers formed of a plurality of different materials.
For example, the hole transport region may have a single-layered structure formed of a plurality of different materials, or a structure in which HIL/HTL, HIL/HTL/buffer layer, HIL/buffer layer, HTL/buffer layer, or HIL/HTL/EBL are sequentially layered on the first electrode 110, but it is not limited thereto.
When the hole transport region includes the HIL, the HIL may be formed on the first electrode 110 using (i.e., utilizing) various suitable methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition, inkjet printing, laser printing, or laser induced thermal imaging (LITI).
When the HIL is formed using vacuum deposition, vacuum deposition conditions may vary according to the compound that is used to form the HIL, and the desired structure of the HIL to be formed. For example, vacuum deposition may be performed at a temperature of about 100° C. to about 500° C., a pressure of about 10−8 torr to about 10−3 torr, and a deposition rate of about 0.01 to about 100 Å/sec.
When the HIL is formed using spin coating, the coating conditions may vary according to the compound that is used to form the HIL, and the desired structure of the HIL to be formed. For example, the coating rate may be in the range of about 2000 rpm to about 5000 rpm, and a temperature at which heat treatment is performed may be in the range of about 80° C. to about 200° C.
When the hole transport region includes the HTL, the HTL may be formed on the first electrode 110 or on the HTL using various suitable methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, LB deposition, inkjet printing, laser printing, or LITI. When the HTL is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, vacuum deposition conditions and coating conditions may be the same as the vacuum depsotion conditions and the coating conditions of the HTL.
The hole transport region may include at least one selected from m-MTDATA, TDATA, 2-TNATA, NPB, β-NPB, TPD, Spiro-TPD, Spiro-NPB, α-NPB, TAPC, HMTPD, 4,4′,4′′-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine(4,4′,4′′-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine) (TCTA), polyaniline/dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (Pani/DBSA), Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/Poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), polyaniline/camphor sulfonic acid (pani/CSA), polyaniline/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PANI/PSS), a compound represented by Formula 201 below, and a compound represented by Formula 202 below:

A thickness of the hole transport region may be about 100 Å to about 10000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 1000 Å. When the hole transport region includes both of the HIL and the HTL, a thickness of the HIL may be about 100 Å to about 10000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 1000 Å; and a thickness of the HTL may be about 50 Å to about 2000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 1500 Å. When the thicknesses of the hole transport region, the HIL, and the HTL satisfy the ranges described above, satisfactory hole injection characteristics may be obtained without a substantial increase in a driving voltage.
The hole transport region may further include a charge-generating material, in addition to the material described above. The charge-generating material may be uniformly or non-uniformly dispsered in the hole transport region.
The charge-generating material may be, for example, a p-dopant. The p-dopant may be selected from quinone derivatives, metal oxides, F-containing compounds, Cl-containing compounds, and CN-containing compounds, but it is not limited thereto. For example, non-limiting examples of the p-dopant are quinone derivatives, such as tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), or 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ); metal oxides such as tungsten oxides or molybdenym oxides; and a Compound HT-D1 below.




The hole transport region may include at least one selected from the buffer layer and the EBL, in addition to the HIL and the HTL. The buffer layer may compensate for an optical resonance distance of light according to a wavelength of the light emitted from the EML, and thus may increase the light-emitting efficiency. The buffer layer may include any suitable material that may be used in the hole transport region. The EBL may reduce or prevent injection of electrons from the electron transport region.
The HTL may include a first HTL and a second HTL, which may include (e.g., simultaneously include) the same material or include different materials.
Then, the EML may be formed on the first electrode 110 or the hole transport region by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, LB deposition, inkjet printing, laser printing, LITI, or the like. When the EML is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions may be similar to those for the formation of the HIL.
When the organic light-emitting device 10 is a full color organic light-emitting device, the organic light-emitting device 10 may be patterned into a red EML, a green EML, and a blue EML, according to different EMLs and individual pixels. Alternatively, the EML may have a structure in which the red EML, the green EML, and the blue EML are layered or a structure in which a red light emission material, a green light emission material, and a blue light emission material are mixed without separation of layers and emit white light.
The EML may include a host and a dopant.
The host may include at least one selected from TPBi, TBADN, ADN (also known as “DNA”), CBP, CDBP, and TCP:
