Abstract

The present invention relates to an organic light emitting device. An organic light emitting device according to the present application includes: a substrate; a first electrode provided on the substrate; an auxiliary electrode provided on at least a partial region of the first electrode; an insulating layer provided on the auxiliary electrode, and having an overhang structure in which the insulating layer has a greater width than that of the auxiliary electrode; and a second electrode provided on the first electrode and the insulating layer, in which the second electrode provided on the first electrode and the second electrode provided on the insulating layer have an electrode structure with an electrically short-circuited form.

Claims (21)

1. An organic light emitting device, comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode provided on the substrate;

an auxiliary electrode provided on the first electrode;

an insulating layer provided directly on the auxiliary electrode, and having an overhang structure in which the insulating layer has a greater width than that of the auxiliary electrode; and

a second electrode provided on the first electrode and the insulating layer,

wherein the second electrode provided on the first electrode and the second electrode provided on the insulating layer have an electrode structure with an electrically short-circuited form, and

wherein the insulating layer does not contact with the first electrode.

2. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode and the auxiliary electrode provided on the first electrode have a structure with an electrically short-circuited form.

3. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode and the insulating layer provided on the first electrode have a structure with an electrically short-circuited form.

4. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary electrode and the insulating layer comprise materials of which etching speeds by the same etchant are different from each other.

5. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein kinds of etchant used for forming the auxiliary electrode and the insulating layer are different from each other.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the etchant includes one or more selected from the group consisting of hydrofluoric acid (HF), phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ), a buffered oxide etchant (BOE), a buffered HF solution (BHF), a hydrogen peroxide-based etchant, CH 3 COOH, HCl, HNO 3 , and a ferric-based etchant.

7. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary electrode comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, aluminum, silver, tin, lead, chrome, molybdenum, copper, and an alloy thereof.

8. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of a photoresist material; polyimide; polyacryl; a silicon nitride; a silicon oxide; an aluminum oxide; an aluminum nitride; an alkali metal oxide; and an alkaline earth metal oxide.

9. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode or the second electrode comprises at least one oxide selected from indium (In), tin (Sn), zinc (Zn), gallium (Ga), cerium (Ce), cadmium (Cd), magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), silver (Ag), molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), copper (Cu), iridium (Ir), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), tungsten (W), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), aluminum (Al), and lanthanum (La).

10. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode or the second electrode includes one or more selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, aluminum, silver, platinum, gold, tungsten, tantalum, copper, tin, lead, and an alloy thereof.

11. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein on the first electrode, a region, on which the auxiliary electrode is provided, is a non-emission region, and a region, on which the auxiliary electrode is not provided, is an emission region.

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

an organic material layer on the first electrode within the emission region.

13. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the organic light emitting device is intended for lighting.
