Abstract

A light-emitting device includes: a first electrode; a second electrode facing the first electrode; and an interlayer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and including an emission layer patterned into a red emission layer and a green emission layer for a corresponding sub-pixel, wherein the red emission layer includes a red dopant having a horizontal dipole moment, and the green emission layer comprises a green dopant having a horizontal dipole moment, and the horizontal dipole moment of the green dopant is greater than the horizontal dipole moment of the red dopant.

Claims (31)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a first electrode;

an interlayer on the first electrode and comprising an emission layer patterned into a red emission layer, a green emission layer, and a blue emission layer for a corresponding sub-pixel;

a second electrode on the interlayer; and

an encapsulation layer on the second electrode;

wherein the red emission layer comprises a red light-emitting material having a horizontal dipole moment, the green emission layer comprises a green light-emitting material having a horizontal dipole moment, and the blue emission layer comprises a blue light-emitting material, and

the horizontal dipole moment of the green light-emitting material is greater than the horizontal dipole moment of the red light-emitting material.

2. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the horizontal dipole moment of the green light-emitting material is in a range of about 60% to about 95% of a total dipole moment of the green light-emitting material.

3. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the horizontal dipole moment of the red light-emitting material is about 80% or lower of a total dipole moment of the red light-emitting material.

4. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the horizontal dipole moment of the red light-emitting material is in a range of about 60% to about 80% of a total dipole moment of the red light-emitting material.

5. The light-emitting device of claim 4 , wherein the horizontal dipole moment of the red light-emitting material is in a range of about 65% to about 75% of a total dipole moment of the red light-emitting material.

6. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a capping layer with a refractive index of about 1.6 or higher disposed on the second electrode.

7. The light-emitting device of claim 6 , wherein the capping layer is in contact with the second electrode.

8. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation layer comprises at least one organic layer and at least one inorganic layer.

9. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the blue light-emitting material is a metal complex including a ligand and a metal.
