Electroluminescent display device provided with a photonic crystal layer incorporating voids in a vacuum state
The invention is directed to an organic electroluminescent (EL) display device having an improved light extracting efficiency due to a photonic crystal layer formed proximate one side of a stack. Among other elements, the stack may include a first electrode formed on a substrate, an organic light emitting layer formed above the first electrode, and a second electrode formed above the organic light emitting layer. Additionally, the photonic crystal layer may be configured to correspond to a wavelength of colored light. An organic EL display device having an improved light extracting efficiency may be manufactured using a thermal transfer donor film to adhere the photonic crystal layer to the stack.
1. An organic electroluminescent (EL) display device, comprising:
a substrate;
a first electrode layer disposed on the substrate;
a stack comprising a second electrode layer and an organic light emitting portion disposed on the first electrode layer; and
a photonic crystal layer disposed directly on the stack, the photonic crystal layer to increase light extracting efficiency from the light-emitting portion,
wherein the photonic crystal layer comprises a plurality of piercing holes,
wherein the plurality of piercing holes comprise voids in a vacuum state.
