Abstract

A method for producing an organic, radiation-emitting component is specified, wherein at least one layer ( 10 ) containing an emitter material is produced in a radiation-emitting region ( 4 ) of the component, wherein the layer ( 10 ) is produced by means of atomic layer deposition and has a thickness of at most 2 nm.

Claims (20)

1. A method for producing a radiation emitting region of an organic radiation-emitting component, comprising:

producing, by atomic layer deposition, at least two first layers, each first layer consisting of a matrix material formed of a fluorescent emitter material configured to emit radiation in the wavelength region of blue light;

producing, by atomic layer deposition, at least two second layers, each second layer being produced between two first layers and comprising a different phosphorescent emitter material configured to emit radiation having wavelengths greater than the wavelength region of blue light,

wherein the at least two second layers each have a thickness of at most 2 nm, and

wherein the opto-electronic radiation-emitting component is configured to emit white light.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

producing at least one layer consisting of at least one barrier material in the radiation-emitting region of the component, wherein the barrier material has a larger band gap than the matrix material.

3. The method according to claim 2 , comprising producing the at least one barrier material by atomic layer deposition.

4. The method according to claim 1 , comprising introducing at least a portion of a second layer into a first layer during production of the second layer.

5. An organic, radiation-emitting component comprising:

a radiation-emitting region comprising:

at least two first layers produced by atomic layer deposition, each of the at least two first layers consisting of matrix material formed of a fluorescent emitter material configured to emit radiation having a wavelength in the blue light radiation region;

at least two second layers produced by atomic layer deposition, each second layer being between two first layers and comprising a different phosphorescent emitter material configured to emit radiation having wavelengths greater than the wavelength region of blue light,

wherein the second layers each have a thickness of at most 2 nm; and

wherein the opto-electronic radiation-emitting component is configured to emit white light.

6. The organic, radiation-emitting component according claim 5 , wherein the radiation-emitting region further comprises at least one layer consisting of at least one barrier material having a larger band gap than the matrix material.

7. The organic, radiation-emitting component according to claim 6 , wherein the radiation-emitting region further comprises:

at least two layers each consisting of at least one barrier material; and

at least one layer containing an emitter material between two of the at least two layers consisting of the at least one barrier material.

8. The organic, radiation-emitting component according to claim 5 , wherein at least a portion of a second layer is at least partially embedded in a first layer.
