Abstract

A flexible display device includes a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer arranged between a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. The hole transport layer and the electron transport layer each contain a polyacrylamide comprising a guest part and/or a host part which interacts with the guest part. The host part may be selected from the group consisting of an α-cyclodextrinyl group, a β-cyclodextrinyl group, and a γ-cyclodextrinyl group, and the guest part may be selected from the group consisting of an n-butyl (ester) group, an n-hexyl (ester) group, an n-dodecyl (ester) group, an n-dodecyl (amide) group, an adamantyl group, a cyclohexyl (ester) group, and a cyclododecyl (amide) group, which can interact with the selected host part.

Claims (34)

1. A flexible display device comprising:

the second part is selected from the group consisting of an n-butyl (ester) group, an n-hexyl (ester) group, an n-dodecyl (ester) group, an n-dodecyl (amide) group, an adamantyl group, a cyclohexyl (ester) group and a cyclododecyl (amide) group.

2. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer each contain a polyacrylamide with the host part comprising an α-cyclodextrinyl group, and the guest part being selected from the group consisting of an n-butyl (ester) group, an n-hexyl (ester) group, an n-dodecyl (ester) group, and an n-dodecyl (amide) group.

3. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer each contain a polyacrylamide with the host part comprising a β-cyclodextrinyl group, and the guest part being selected from the group consisting of an adamantyl group, a cyclohexyl (ester) group, and a cyclododecyl (amide) group.

4. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer each contain a polyacrylamide with the host part comprising a γ-cyclodextrinyl group, and the guest part comprising a cyclododecyl (amide) group.

5. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer contains a polyacrylamide comprising an α-cyclodextrinyl group as a host part, and the other contains a polyacrylamide comprising a guest part selected from the group consisting of an n-butyl (ester) group, an n-hexyl (ester) group, an n-dodecyl (ester) group, and an n-dodecyl (amide) group.

6. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer contains a polyacrylamide comprising a β-cyclodextrinyl group as a host part, and the other contains a polyacrylamide comprising a guest part selected from the group consisting of an adamantyl group, a cyclohexyl (ester) group, and a cyclododecyl (amide) group.

7. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer contains a polyacrylamide comprising a γ-cyclodextrinyl group as a host part, and the other contains a polyacrylamide comprising a cyclododecyl (amide) group as a guest part.

8. The flexible display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting layer contains a polyacrylamide including a third part and a fourth part,
