Abstract

A top-emitting organic light-emitting device (OLED) including a reflective first electrode layer; a semitransparent second electrode layer facing the first electrode layer; and an organic layer between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, wherein the organic layer comprises a first layer, a second layer, and an emission layer between the first layer and the second layer, wherein the sum of the thicknesses of the emission layer and the second layer is about 0.15 to about 0.30 times the thickness of the entire organic layer. The top-emitting OLED may have high efficiency, and thus driving voltage may be reduced.

Claims (14)

1. A top-emitting organic light-emitting device (OLED) comprising:

a reflective first electrode layer;

a semitransparent second electrode layer facing the first electrode layer; and

an organic layer between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer,

wherein the organic layer comprises a first layer, a second layer, and an emission layer between the first layer and the second layer,

wherein a sum of thicknesses of the emission layer and the second layer is in the range of about 0.15 to about 0.30 times a thickness of the entire organic layer, and

wherein the second layer comprises an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer.

2. The top-emitting OLED of claim 1 , wherein the sum of the thicknesses of the emission layer and the second layer is in the range of about 0.20 to about 0.28 times the thickness of the entire organic layer.

3. The top-emitting OLED of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode layer has a reflectivity greater than or equal to 80%.

4. The top-emitting OLED of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode layer comprises chromium (Cr), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), tungsten (W), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), or an alloy thereof.

5. The top-emitting OLED of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode layer comprises aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), silver (Ag), chromium (Cr), or an alloy thereof.

6. The top-emitting OLED of claim 1 , wherein the emission layer is configured to emit red light having an x color coordinate less than or equal to 0.69.

7. The top-emitting OLED of claim 1 , wherein the emission layer is configured to emit green light having an x color coordinate less than or equal to 0.32.

8. The top-emitting OLED of claim 1 , wherein the emission layer is configured to emit blue light having a y color coordinate in the range of 0.04 to 0.08.
