Abstract

An organic light-emitting diode and method of fabricating the same. The organic light-emitting diode includes a first substrate, a first electrode installed on an inner surface of the first substrate, an organic light-emitting layer installed on the first electrode, a second electrode installed on the organic light-emitting layer, an oxide layer formed on the second electrode, and a second substrate bound to the inner surface of the first substrate to form an airtight space.

Claims (16)

1. A method of fabricating an organic light-emitting diode, comprising:

providing a substrate;

forming a first electrode on the substrate;

forming an organic light-emitting layer on the first electrode;

forming a second electrode on the organic light-emitting layer;

performing an oxygen plasma procedure on the surface of the second electrode to form a first oxide layer;

installing a metal layer on the first oxide layer; and

performing an oxygen plasma procedure on the surface of the metal layer to form a second oxide layer.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second electrode is composed of a single or multiple metal layers.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal layer or the electrodes are Li, Mg, Ca, Al, Ag, In, Au, Ni, Pt, or combinations thereof.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gas flow rate of the oxygen plasma procedure is about 10˜50 sccm.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the power of the oxygen plasma procedure is less than 200 W.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first or second oxide layer is composed of an oxide of the metals or combinations thereof.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the first or second oxide layer is about 10˜100 Å.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising, after the oxygen plasma procedure is performed, providing a sealing case to bind the substrate to form an airtight space containing the electrodes.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising, installing a drying layer on the sealing case in the airtight space.
