Luminous diode based on soluble organic materials
View Patent ↗According to the present invention at least one layer of an optoelectronic acting material, for example an emitter layer, is applied on a substrate ( 1 ) and subsequently dried in accordance with a method for the production of luminous diodes. At least one layer is set vibrating before it is completely dried. This step addresses trapped air and uneven surfaces of the layer.
1. A method for the production of luminous diodes, comprising the steps of:
applying onto a substrate at least one layer of a liquid including an optoelectronic material;
vibrating the at least one layer after applying the at least one layer onto the substrate; and
drying the at least one layer of the liquid.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the steps of applying, vibrating and drying form an emitter layer.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said vibrating is effected during application of the at least one layer of the liquid.
4. The method according to claim 3 , where said vibrating is effected by ultrasound.
5. The method according to claim 1 , where said vibrating is effected by ultrasound.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said step of vibrating is performed directly to said substrate.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said step of vibrating is performed indirectly to said substrate.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the optoelectronic material includes an organic electroluminescent material.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the steps of applying, vibrating and drying form an emitter layer.
10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein said vibrating is effected during application of the at least one layer of the liquid.
11. The method according to claim 8 , where said vibrating is effected by ultrasound.
12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein said step of vibrating is performed directly to said substrate.
13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein said step of vibrating is performed indirectly to said substrate.
14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the organic electroluminescent material includes a polymer.
15. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one liquid includes xylol.
16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one liquid includes a solvent.
17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one liquid including an optoelectronic material is a suspension.
18. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of drying the at least one layer of the liquid forms an emitter layer and the method further comprises:
forming an electrode such that the electrode contacts the emitter layer.
19. A method for the production of luminous diodes, comprising the steps of:
applying onto a substrate at least one layer of a liquid including an optoelectronic material;
vibrating the at least one layer after applying the at least one layer onto the substrate, wherein said vibrating is effected during drying of the at least one layer of the liquid wherein said vibrating is effected during drying of the at least one layer of the liquid; and
drying the at least one layer of the liquid.
20. The method according to claim 19 , where said vibrating is effected by ultrasound.
21. A method for the production of luminous diodes, comprising the steps of:
applying onto a substrate at least one layer of a liquid including an optoelectronic material that includes an organic electroluminescent material;
vibrating the at least one layer after applying the at least one layer onto the substrate, wherein said vibrating is effected during drying of the at least one layer of the liquid; and
drying the at least one layer of the liquid.
