Abstract

A white organic light emitting device includes: an anode formed on a substrate; a first emissive layer, in which a first sub-emissive layer and a second sub-emissive layer are stacked, formed on the substrate; a second emissive layer, in which a third sub-emissive layer and a fourth sub-emissive layer are stacked, formed on the first emissive layer; a first intermediate layer supplying electrons to the first emissive layer and a second intermediate layer supplying holes to the second emissive layer, wherein the first and second intermediate layers are formed between the first emissive layer and the second emissive layer; and a cathode formed on the second emissive layer.

Claims (21)

1. A white organic light emitting device comprising:

an anode disposed on a substrate;

a first emissive layer disposed on the anode and having a first sub-emissive layer and a second sub-emissive layer stacked thereon;

a second emissive layer disposed on the first emissive layer and having a third sub-emissive layer and a fourth sub-emissive layer that are stacked;

a first intermediate layer supplying electrons to the first emissive layer and a second intermediate layer supplying holes to the second emissive layer, wherein the first and second intermediate layers are formed between the first emissive layer and the second emissive layer; and

a cathode formed on the second emissive layer,

wherein two layers of the first sub-emissive layer, the second sub-emissive layer, the third sub-emissive layer and the fourth sub-emissive layer emit a light having a blue color, and a color of a first light emitted from the first emissive layer is different from a color of a second light emitted from the second emissive layer.

2. The white organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-emissive layer comprises a green (G) emissive layer, the second sub-emissive layer comprises a blue (B) emissive layer, the third sub-emissive layer comprises a red (R) emissive layer, and the fourth sub-emissive layer comprises a blue (B) emissive layer.

3. The white organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-emissive layer comprises a red (R) emissive layer, the second sub-emissive layer comprises a blue (B) emissive layer, the third sub-emissive layer comprises a green (G) emissive layer, and the fourth sub-emissive layer comprises a blue (B) emissive layer.

4. The white organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-emissive layer comprises a blue (B) emissive layer, the second sub-emissive layer comprises a green (G) emissive layer, the third sub-emissive layer comprises a blue (B) emissive layer, and the fourth sub-emissive layer comprises a red (R) emissive layer.

5. The white organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-emissive layer comprises a blue (B) emissive layer, the second sub-emissive layer comprises a red (R) emissive layer, the third sub-emissive layer comprises a blue (B) emissive layer, and the fourth sub-emissive layer comprises a green (G) emissive layer.

6. The white organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a hole injection layer is further included between the anode and the first emissive layer.

7. The white organic light emitting device of claim 6 , wherein the hole injection layer is doped with p-type impurities to enhance the hole injection.

8. The white organic light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein a first hole transport layer is further included between the anode and the hole injection layer, and a second hole transport layer is further included between the first and second intermediate layers and the second emissive layer.

9. The white organic light emitting device of claim 8 , wherein an electron injection layer is further included between the second emissive layer and the cathode.

10. The white organic light emitting device of claim 9 , wherein the electron injection layer is doped with n-type impurities to enhance the electron injection.

11. The white organic light emitting device of claim 10 , wherein a first electron transport layer is further included between the first emissive layer and the first and second intermediate layers, and a second electron transport layer is further included between the second emissive layer and the electron injection layer.

12. The white organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first intermediate layer comprises an organic layer doped with n-type impurities and the second intermediate layer comprises an organic layer doped with p-type impurities.

13. The white organic light emitting device of claim 12 , wherein the first and second intermediate layers are formed of a transparent metal material.

14. The white organic light emitting device of claim 13 , wherein a blocking layer is further included between the first sub-emissive layer and the second sub-emissive layer and between the third sub-emissive layer and the fourth sub-emissive layer, respectively.

15. The white organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first light is mixed with the second light to form a white light.
