Abstract

The present invention provides an organic EL device, by which optical efficiency and stability of the organic EL device are enhanced by providing an anode of high reflectivity, high work function, superior environmental characteristic, and favorable corrosion resistance to a top-emission type organic EL device. The present invention includes an anode, an organic layer on the anode, and a cathode on the organic layer, wherein the anode comprises a reflective layer reflecting light emitted from the organic layer and a hole injection layer on the reflective layer injecting holes.

Claims (9)

1. An organic EL device comprising:

a first electrode comprising a reflective layer reflecting light emitted from an organic layer and a hole injection layer on the reflective layer injecting holes; and

a second electrode on the organic layer,

wherein the organic layer is on the first electrode, and

wherein the hole injection layer is formed of an alloy including at least one or two selected from the group consisting of Cr, Ni, Ti and Mo and the reflective layer is formed by adding one element selected from the group consisting of Nd, Ta, Nb, Si and B to Al.

2. The organic EL device of claim 1 , wherein the one element is added at about 5 at. % to the Al.

3. The organic EL device of claim 1 , wherein the hole injection layer is 1 nm˜10 nm thick.

4. The organic EL device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective layer and the hole injection layer are formed by one selected from the group consisting of resistance heating, sputtering, and E-beam deposition.

5. The organic EL device of claim 1 , wherein the organic EL device is a top-emission type organic EL device.
