Abstract

An organic light emitting diode device comprises a first electrode, a second electrode facing the first electrode, a first light emitting unit and a second light emitting unit positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, a charge generation layer positioned between the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit, and a charge balance layer positioned adjacent to charge generation layer and including a lithium-containing compound.

Claims (22)

1. An organic light emitting diode device, comprising:

a first electrode;

a second electrode facing the first electrode;

a first light emitting unit and a second light emitting unit positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a charge generation layer positioned between the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit and comprising a first charge generation layer disposed near the first electrode and a second charge generation layer disposed near the second electrode; and

a charge balance layer positioned adjacent to the charge generation layer and including at least one of lithium quinolate (Liq), lithium fluoride (LiF), and a combination thereof.

2. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein said at least one of lithium quinolate (Liq), lithium fluoride (LiF), and a combination thereof is present independently without mixing other organic or inorganic materials.

3. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein

the charge balance layer is disposed nearer to the first charge generation layer than to the second charge generation layer.

4. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 1 ,

wherein the charge balance layer is disposed nearer to the second charge generation layer than to the first charge generation layer.

5. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 1 ,

wherein the charge balance layer is positioned between the first charge generation layer and the second charge generation layer.

6. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 1 ,

wherein the charge balance layer includes:

a first charge balance layer disposed near at least one of the first charge generation layer and the second charge generation layer; and

a second charge balance layer positioned between the first charge generation layer and the second charge generation layer.

7. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the charge generation layer does not include any one of lithium quinolate (Liq), lithium fluoride (LiF) and a combination thereof.

8. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein each the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit comprises an emission layer; and

wherein said device further comprises at least one auxiliary layer selected from a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron transport layer (ETL) and an electron injection layer (EIL).

9. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit comprises at least two emission layers.

10. The organic light emitting diode device of claim 8 , wherein colors displayed by the emission layer of the first light emitting unit and colors displayed by the emission layer of the second light emitting unit are combined to display a white color.
