Abstract

An organic light emitting device according to embodiment of the present invention comprises: a substrate; a first electrode formed on the substrate; a light-emitting member formed on the first electrode, and comprising multi-layer structure; and a second electrode formed on the light-emitting member, wherein the second electrode comprises Mg—Ag alloy which contains Mg of 1-10 wt % and a concentration gradient of the Mg—Ag alloy is formed from the top of the emitting-light member.

Claims (23)

1. An organic light emitting device comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode formed on the substrate;

a light-emitting member formed on the first electrode, and comprising a multi-layer structure; and

a second electrode formed on the light-emitting member,

wherein the second electrode consists of an Mg—Ag alloy, which contains about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % Mg and has a concentration gradient.

2. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a Mg concentration in the Mg—Ag alloy is highest at a surface of the second electrode contacting the light-emitting member and is gradually lower from the surface of the second electrode.

3. The organic light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein the Mg—Ag alloy comprises about 5 wt % Mg.

4. A method of manufacturing an organic light emitting display, the method comprising:

forming a first electrode on a substrate;

forming a light-emitting member on the first electrode; and

forming a second electrode on the light-emitting member,

wherein the forming of the second electrode comprises depositing an Mg—Ag alloy onto the light-emitting member and forming a concentration gradient of Mg and Ag in the Mg—Ag alloy, which consists of Ag and about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % Mg.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the Mg—Ag alloy has Mg at about 5 wt %.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein a Mg concentration in the Mg—Ag alloy is highest at a surface of the second electrode contacting the light-emitting member and is gradually lower from the surface of the second electrode.

7. A display device comprising:

an organic light emitting device comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode disposed on the substrate;

an organic layer disposed on the first electrode, the organic layer having a multi-layer structure;

a second electrode disposed on the organic layer, wherein the second electrode consists of an Mg—Ag alloy, which contains about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % Mg and has a concentration gradient, and

wherein a concentration of Mg is highest at an interface of the second electrode and the organic layer and is gradually lower at distances away from the interface.

8. The display device of according to claim 7 , wherein the Mg—Ag alloy consists of Ag and about 5 wt % Mg.
