Abstract

Provided is a white organic light emitting device (OLED). The white OLED includes a double cavity structure in which a first region and a second region are defined based on a transparent common electrode using a top emission method. A green phosphorescence or fluorescence emission layer is disposed in the first region, a blue fluorescence emission layer is disposed in the second region, a red emission layer is optionally disposed in the first region or the second region, and an optical path control layer (OPCL) for widening color gamut is disposed in a region in which green light and blue light are emitted so that color coordinates are not greatly changed due to a change in thickness of the OPCL and white light having good quality is obtained.

Claims (23)

1. A white organic light emitting device comprising:

a transparent first electrode and a reflective second electrode;

a common electrode disposed between the transparent first electrode and the reflective second electrode and defining a first region corresponding to the transparent first electrode and a second region corresponding to the reflective second electrode;

a red emission portion;

a green emission portion disposed only in the first region; and

a blue emission portion disposed only in the second region,

wherein said first region is disposed on and in direct contact with said second region,

wherein said red emission portion is disposed only in said second region, on and in direct contact with said blue emission portion.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the green emission portion comprises an organic phosphorescence or fluorescence emission layer, and the blue emission portion comprises an organic fluorescence emission layer.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the red emission portion comprising an organic phosphorescence or organic fluorescence emission layer.

4. The device of claim 2 , wherein the red emission portion comprising an organic fluorescence emission layer in the second region.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode and the common electrode have transmissivity of 70 % or higher.

6. A white organic light emitting device comprising:

a transparent first electrode and a reflective second electrode;

a common electrode disposed between the transparent first electrode and the reflective second electrode and defining a first region corresponding to the transparent first electrode and a second region corresponding to the reflective second electrode;

a green emission portion disposed only in the first region;

a blue emission portion disposed only in the second region; and

an optical path control layer (OPCL) controlling a path of light transmitted through the first electrode and emitted to the outside, said OPCL having a uniform thickness and flat surfaces,

wherein a red emission portion is disposed only in said second region, on and in direct contact with said blue emission portion.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the green emission portion comprises an organic phosphorescence or fluorescence emission layer, and the blue emission portion comprises an organic fluorescence emission layer.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the red emission portion comprising an organic phosphorescence or organic fluorescence emission layer.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the red emission portion comprising an organic fluorescence emission layer in the second region.

10. The device of claim 6 , wherein the OPCL has a thickness of 450-500 nm.
