Abstract

A method of fabricating an organic electroluminescence display device includes the steps of forming a first electrode; forming an emissive layer on the first electrode using a solvent and a polymer, the solvent having a surface tension less than 30 dyne/cm and a boiling point greater than 200 degrees centigrade; and forming a second electrode on the emissive layer.

Claims (34)

1. A method of fabricating an organic electroluminescence display device, comprising the steps of:

forming a first electrode;

forming an emissive layer on the first electrode using a solvent and a polymer, the solvent having a surface tension less than 30 dyne/cm and a boiling point greater than 200 degrees centigrade, wherein the polymer is dissolved in the solvent; and

forming a second electrode on the emissive layer.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent includes at least one of Diphenyl Ether, Tridecane, Dodecane, Butyl Maleate, dl-α-Terpinol, Octanoic acid, and Hexanoic acid.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of forming an emissive layer includes using a roll coating method.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the emissive layer has a substantially uniform thickness substantially without grains.

5. A method of fabricating an organic electroluminescence display device, comprising the steps of:

forming a first electrode;

forming an emissive layer on the first electrode using a solvent and a polymer, the solvent including a first material, a second material and a third material, the polymer having a solubility greater than about 1 percent weight per volume in the first material, the second material having an evaporation rate less than 0.1 fractional weight per minute, the third material having a surface tension less than 30 dyne/cm; and

forming a second electrode on the emissive layer.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first material includes at least one of Xylenes, Tetralin, Cyclo Hexyl Benzene, Chloro Form, Tetra Hydro Furane, Ethyl Benzoate, and Methyl Benzoate.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the second material includes at least one of Cyclo Hexyl Pyrrolidone, N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP), γ-Butyrolactone, Ethylene Glycol, Dodecane, Ethyl Cinamate.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the third material includes at least one of 2-Butoxy Ethanol, Metylene Chloride, Acetone, n-Butyl Benzene, Toluene, iso-Pentyl Ether, and iso-Butyl Benzene.

9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the step of forming an emissive layer includes using a roll coating method.

10. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the emissive layer has a substantially uniform thickness substantially without grains.

11. An organic electroluminescence display device, comprising:

a first electrode;

an emissive layer on the first electrode; and

a second electrode on the emissive layer,

wherein the emissive layer is deposited using a solvent and a polymer such that the polymer is dissolved in the solvent, the solvent having a surface tension less than 30 dyne/cm and a boiling point greater than about 200 degrees centigrade.

12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the solvent includes at least one of Diphenyl Ether, Tridecane, Dodecane, Butyl Maleate, dl-α-Terpinol, Octanoic acid, and Hexanoic acid.

13. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the emissive layer is formed by a roll coating method.

14. An organic electroluminescence display device, comprising:

a first electrode;

an emissive layer on the first electrode; and

a second electrode on the emissive layer,

wherein the emissive layer is formed using a solvent and a polymer, the solvent including a first material, a second material and a third material, the polymer having a solubility greater than about 1 percent weight per volume in the first material, the second material having an evaporation rate less than 0.1 fractional weight per minute, the third material having a surface tension less than 30 dyne/cm.

15. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the emissive layer has a substantially uniform thickness substantially without grains.

16. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the first material includes at least one of Xylenes, Tetralin, Cyclo Hexyl Benzene, Chloro Form, Tetra Hydro Furane, Ethyl Benzoate, and Methyl Benzoate.

17. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the second material includes at least one of Cyclo Hexyl Pyrrolidone, N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP), γ-Butyrolactone, Ethylene Glycol, Dodecane, Ethyl Cinamate.

18. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the third material includes at least one of 2-Butoxy Ethanol, Metylene Chloride, Acetone, n-Butyl Benzene, Toluene, iso-Pentyl Ether, and iso-Butyl Benzene.

19. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the emissive layer is formed by a roll coating method.

20. The device according to claim 14 , further comprising a transparent substrate, one of the first and second electrodes being on the transparent substrate.
