Abstract

The present invention relates to an organic light emitting device and a method for preparing an organic light emitting device, and the organic light emitting device comprises a substrate, a first electrode, an organic material layer, and a second electrode in this order, and a spacer pattern on the first electrode.

Claims (28)

1. An organic light emitting device, comprising:

a substrate, a first electrode, an organic material layer, and a second electrode in this order,

a spacer pattern formed using a photosensitive resin composition on the first electrode,

a metal auxiliary electrode with a lattice shape on the first electrode, and

an insulating layer on the metal auxiliary electrode,

wherein the organic light emitting device comprises a light emitting area and a non-light emitting area, and the spacer pattern is provided in the light emitting area but not provided in the non-light emitting area of the organic light emitting device, and the metal auxiliary electrode is provided in the non-light emitting area but not provided in the light emitting area of the organic light emitting device.

2. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the spacer pattern is provided between the first electrode and the organic material layer.

3. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a taper angle of the spacer pattern exceeds 10° and is under 90°.

4. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the spacer pattern is 1 to 2 μm.

5. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the spacer pattern is 10 to 50 μm.

6. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein an area of a region where the spacer pattern is provided is 3 to 10% of an area of the light emitting area of the organic light emitting device.

7. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is selected from a group consisting of glass, SiO 2 , a silicon wafer, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polyimide (PI), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and cycloolefin polymer (COP).

8. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO), IZO, ZnO, and SnO 2 .

9. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the metal auxiliary electrode comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of Cr, Mo, Al, Cu, and an alloy thereof.

10. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of Al, Ag, Ca, Mg, Au, Mo, Ir, Cr, Ti, Pd, and an alloy thereof.

11. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an internal light extraction layer between the substrate and the first electrode, or

an exterior light extraction layer on a surface opposing to a surface of the substrate on which the first electrode is provided.

12. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the organic light emitting device is a flexible organic light emitting device.

13. A display device comprising an organic light emitting device of claim 1 .

14. An illumination apparatus comprising an organic light emitting device of claim 1 .

15. A method of preparing an organic light emitting device, comprising:

1) forming a first electrode on a substrate;

2) forming a spacer pattern formed using a photosensitive resin composition on the first electrode,

3) forming an organic material layer and a second electrode,

4) forming a metal auxiliary electrode with a lattice shape on the first electrode, and

5) forming an insulating layer on the metal auxiliary electrode;

wherein the organic light emitting device comprises a light emitting area and a non-light emitting area, and the spacer pattern is provided in the light emitting area but not provided in the non-light emitting area of the organic light emitting device, and the metal auxiliary electrode is provided in the non-light emitting area but not in the light emitting area of the organic light emitting device.
