Abstract

A white organic light emitting diode (OLED) includes an emission layer that includes a blue emission layer and an emission layer excluding blue. The emission layer excluding blue includes a phosphorescent material and a mixture of a hole transporting material and electron transporting material.

Claims (44)

1. A white organic light emitting diode, comprising:

an emission layer arranged between a first electrode and a second electrode,

wherein the emission layer comprises a blue emission layer and an emission layer excluding blue, the emission layer being capable of emitting white light,

wherein the emission layer excluding blue comprises a phosphorescent material and a mixture comprising a hole transporting material and an electron transporting material, and

wherein the blue emission layer comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of Flrpic, biphenylanthracene, and 4,4′-bis(diphenylamino)stilbene.

2. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the emission layer excluding blue comprises a yellow emission layer.

3. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the emission layer excluding blue comprises a green and red mixed emission layer.

4. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the emission layer excluding blue comprises a green emission layer and a red emission layer.

5. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the hole transporting material comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of 1,3,5-triscarbazolylbenzene; 4,4′-biscarbazolylbiphenyl; polyvinylcarbazole; m-biscarbazolylbiphenyl; 4,4′-biscarbazolyl-2,2′-dimethylbiphenyl; 4,4′,4″-tri(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine; 1,3,5-tris(2-carbazolylphenyl)benzene; 1,3,5-tris(2-carbazolyl-5-methoxyphenyl)benzene; and Bi(4-carbazolylphenyl)silane.

6. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the electron transporting material comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of bis(8-hydroxyquinolato)biphenoxy aluminum; bis(8-hydroxyquinolato)phenoxy aluminum; bis(2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolato)biphenoxy aluminum; bis(2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolato)phenoxy aluminum; bis(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)quinolato)zinc; (4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol; 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(BCP); 2,4,6-tris(diarylamino)-1,3,5-triazine; and 3-phenyl-4-(1′-naphthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol.

7. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the weight ratio of the hole transporting material to the electron transporting material is about 1:9 to 9:1.

8. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the phosphorescent material comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of Ir(pq)2acac, Ir(piq)2acac, and Irppy3.

9. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the amount of the phosphorescent material is about 1 to 20 percent by weight of the mixture of the hole transporting material and the electron transporting material.

10. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 1 ,

wherein the blue emission layer is about 10 to 50 nm thick.

11. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 2 ,

wherein the yellow emission layer is about 10 to 50 nm thick.

12. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 3 ,

wherein the green and red mixed emission layer is about 10 to 50 nm thick.

13. The white organic light emitting diode of claim 4 ,

wherein the green emission layer is about 5 to 45 nm thick, and

the red emission layer is about 5 to 45 nm thick.

14. A method of manufacturing a white organic light emitting diode, the method comprising:

forming a first electrode on a substrate;

forming a blue emission layer on the first electrode;

forming an emission layer excluding blue on the blue emission layer; and

forming a second electrode on the emission layer excluding blue,

wherein the emission layer excluding blue is formed by doping a mixture of hole transporting material and electron transporting material with phosphorescent material, and

wherein the blue emission layer comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of Flrpic, biphenylanthracene, and 4,4′-bis(diphenylamino)stilbene.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

forming a hole injecting layer or a hole transporting layer between the first electrode and the blue emission layer; and

forming a hole blocking layer, an electron transporting layer, or an electron injecting layer between the emission layer excluding blue and the second electrode.

16. The method of claim 14 ,

wherein the emission layer excluding blue comprises a yellow emission layer, a green and red mixed emission layer, or a green emission layer and a red emission layer.

17. The method of claim 14 ,

wherein the amount of phosphorescent material is about 1 to 20% by weight of the mixture of the hole transporting material and the electron transporting material.
