Abstract

Disclosed herein is an organic EL display device including, on a substrate: lower electrodes; first hole injection/transport layers; second organic light-emitting layers of colors other than blue; a blue first organic light-emitting layer; electron injection/transport layers; and an upper electrode.

Claims (30)

1. An organic electroluminescence display device comprising:

a substrate;

lower electrodes on the substrate, one for each of a blue first organic electroluminescence element and second organic electroluminescence elements of other colors;

first hole injection/transport layers, each of which is on or above the lower electrode for one of the first and second organic electroluminescence elements and has at least a hole injection or hole transport characteristic;

second organic light-emitting layers of colors other than blue, each of which is provided on one of the first hole injection/transport layers of the second organic electroluminescence elements;

a blue first organic light-emitting layer over the entire surfaces of the second organic light-emitting layers and the first hole injection/transport layer of the first organic electroluminescence element, the blue first organic light-emitting layer being made of a low molecular weight material;

electron injection/transport layers sequentially over the entire surface of the first organic light-emitting layer, each of the electron injection/transport layers having at least an electron injection or electron transport characteristic; and

an upper electrode,

wherein,

a plurality of pixels, each having the first and second organic electroluminescence elements arranged in the same positional relationship, are provided in the organic electroluminescence display device,

the second organic electroluminescence elements are each arranged at one of the two corners on a diagonal line in each of the plurality of pixels and

each of at least two colors of the second organic electroluminescence elements is adjacent to the first organic electroluminescence elements in the same or adjacent pixel at least on its two sides opposed to each other.

2. The organic electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein

each of the second organic electroluminescence elements is at least one of the red, green, yellow and white organic electroluminescence elements.

3. The organic electroluminescence display device of claim 2 , wherein:

the first and second organic electroluminescence elements are long, narrow and rectangular,

the second organic electroluminescence elements are arranged equidistantly in the direction parallel to the short sides of the rectangles, and

the first organic electroluminescence element is arranged between the second organic electroluminescence elements.

4. The organic electroluminescence display device of claim 2 , wherein the second organic electroluminescence elements are arranged in one direction.

5. The organic electroluminescence display device of claim 3 , wherein the second organic electroluminescence elements differ in area from the first organic electroluminescence element.

6. The organic electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein a second hole injection/transport layer made of a low molecular weight material is between the entire surfaces of the second organic light-emitting layers and the first hole injection/transport layer of the first organic electroluminescence element and the blue first organic light-emitting layer.

7. The organic electroluminescence display device of claim 6 , wherein:

the first hole injection/transport layer of the first organic electroluminescence element has only a hole injection layer made of a high molecular weight material, and

the first hole injection/transport layers of the second organic electroluminescence elements are made of a high molecular weight material.

8. The organic electroluminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first hole injection/transport layer of the first organic electroluminescence element has a hole injection layer made of a high molecular weight material and a hole transport layer made of a low molecular weight material provided on top of the hole injection layer, and

the first hole injection/transport layers of the second organic electroluminescence elements are made of a high molecular weight material.

9. The organic electroluminescence display device of claim 6 , wherein:

second light-emitting layers of the second organic electroluminescence elements each include high and low molecular weight materials, and

the mixing ratio between the high and low molecular weight materials is from 10:1 to 1:2.
