Abstract

An organic electroluminescent display (OELD) device and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The OELD device includes a substrate, a first electrode, an organic layer containing at least one light emitting layer, and a second electrode. The light emitting layer is comprised of at least one phosphorescent dopant and at least two host materials.

Claims (25)

1. A method of fabricating an organic electroluminescent display device, comprising:

preparing a target substrate; and

forming an organic layer on the target substrate, the organic layer including at least a light emitting layer, the organic layer comprising at least one phosphorescent dopant, a first host material, and a second host material, the first host material and the second host material mixed at weight ratio of 1:0.3 to 1:3.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer is formed using laser induced thermal imaging (LITI).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the target substrate comprises an insulating substrate, a first electrode on the insulating substrate, and a pixel defining layer on the first electrode, and the step of forming the organic layer comprises:

preparing a donor substrate comprising a base layer, a light-to-heat conversion layer formed on the base layer, and a transfer layer formed on the light-to-heat conversion layer, the transfer layer comprising at least one phosphorescent dopant, a first host material and a second host material;

positioning the transfer layer of the donor substrate to face the pixel defining layer of the target substrate; and

irradiating a predetermined region of the donor substrate with laser to transfer the transfer layer to the target substrate.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first host material is at least one selected from the group consisting of carbazoles, arylamines, hydrazones, and starbursts.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second host material is at least one selected from the group consisting of an organic metal, oxadiazoles, triazoles, triazines, and spirofluorenes.

6. A donor substrate, comprising:

a base layer;

a light-to-heat conversion layer formed on the base layer; and

a transfer layer formed on the light-to-heat conversion layer, the transfer layer comprising at least one phosphorescent dopant, a first host material and a second host material, the first host material and the second host material mixed at weight ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:10, the first host material selected from the group consisting of 1,3,5-triscarbazolylbenzene, 4,4′biscarbazolylbiphenyl, polyvinylcarbazole, m-biscarbazolylphenyl, 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.

7. The substrate of claim 6 , wherein the second host material suppresses crystallization occurrence of the first host material and has electron transporting characteristics.

8. The substrate of claim 6 , wherein the first host material is at least one selected from the group consisting of carbazoles, arylamines, hydrazones, and starbursts.

9. The substrate of claim 6 , wherein the second host material is at least one selected from the group consisting of an organic metal, oxadiazoles, triazoles, triazines, and spirofluorenes.

10. The substrate of claim 6 , wherein the first host material and the second host material are mixed at weight ratio of 1:0.3 to 1:3.

11. The substrate of claim 6 , further comprising at least one of a gas generation layer, a buffer layer, and a metal reflecting layer between the light-to-heat conversion layer and the transfer layer.

12. The donor substrate of claim 6 , wherein the phosphorescent dopant is an organic metal complex containing one selected from the group consisting of Pt, Ir, Tb, and Eu.

13. The donor substrate of claim 6 , wherein the second host material is selected from the group consisting of bis(8-hydroxyquinolato)biphenoxy aluminum, bis(8hydroxyquinolato)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-tertbutylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 3-phenyl-4-(1′-naphthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole, 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-9,10-phenanthroline, 2,4,6-tris (diallylamino)-1,3,5-trazin and 1,4-bisspirofluorenylbenzene.

14. A donor substrate, comprising:

a base layer;

a light-to-heat conversion layer formed on the base layer; and

a transfer layer formed on the light-to-heat conversion layer, the transfer layer comprising at least one phosphorescent dopant, a first host material and a second host material, the first host material and the second host material mixed at weight ratio of 1:0.3 to 1:3.
