Abstract

In a display panel, a first electron injection layer is formed between an anode and a light-emitting functional layer, and a hole injection layer is formed between the anode and the first electron injection layer. In other words, the hole injection layer, the first electron injection layer, and the light-emitting functional layer are configured to be laminated on the anode in this order. An electron injection material used for the first electron injection layer is diffused into the hole injection layer, and the diffused electron injection material inhibits or promotes hole transportation of the hole injection layer, so that the amount of holes transported to a light-emitting functional layer is adjusted. As a result, the carrier balance is improved.

Claims (30)

1. A display panel comprising:

a first light-emitting device; and

a second light-emitting device,

the first light-emitting device comprising:

a first anode;

a cathode;

a first light-emitting functional layer disposed between the first anode and the cathode, the first light-emitting functional layer having a function of emitting a first color light;

a electron injection layer disposed between the first anode and the first light-emitting functional layer; and

a first hole injection layer disposed between the first anode and the electron injection layer,

wherein the electron injection layer and the first hole injection layer are directly connected to each other;

the second light-emitting device comprising:

a second anode;

the cathode;

a second light-emitting functional layer disposed between the first anode and the cathode, the second light-emitting functional layer having a function of emitting a second color light;

the electron injection layer disposed between the second anode and the second light-emitting functional layer; and

a second hole injection layer disposed between the second anode and the electron injection layer,

wherein the electron injection layer and the second hole injection layer are directly connected to each other.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the electron injection layer is made of an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a compound thereof.

3. An electronic apparatus comprising the display panel according to claim 2 .

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a first hole transporting layer disposed between the electron injection layer and the first light-emitting functional layer.

5. An electronic apparatus comprising the display panel according to claim 4 .

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a second hole transporting layer disposed between the second hole injection layer and the second light-emitting functional layer.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising the display panel according to claim 6 .

8. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first hole injection layer has ion conductivity.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising the display panel according to claim 8 .

10. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the second hole injection layer has ion conductivity.

11. An electronic apparatus comprising the display panel according to claim 10 .

12. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the hole injection layer is formed by using a liquid phase process.

13. An electronic apparatus comprising the display panel according to claim 12 .

14. An electronic apparatus comprising the display panel according to claim 1 .
