Abstract

An organic electroluminescent device (OELD) is provided. The OELD includes a substrate, a first electrode, a second electrode, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer and two emissive layers. The first electrode and the second electrode are disposed over the substrate. The hole transport layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The electron transport layer is disposed between the second electrode and the hole transport layer. The emissive layers are disposed between the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer. One of the emissive layers is a fluorescent emissive layer and another one of the emissive layers is a phosphorescent emissive layer. The visible light of the fluorescent emissive layer and the phosphorescent emissive layer are not absorbed by each other and the visible light spectrums of the fluorescent emissive layer and the phosphorescent emissive layer are not affected by each other.

Claims (32)

1. An organic electroluminescent device, comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode and a second electrode opposite to the first electrode disposed over the substrate;

a hole transport layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;

an electron transport layer disposed between the second electrode and the hole transport layer;

at least three emissive layers disposed between the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, so that two of the at least three emissive layers comprises a group and another of the at least three emissive layers comprises an un-group, one of the layers of the group being a first fluorescent emissive layer and another of the layers of the group being a first phosphorescent emissive layer, wherein the visible light of the first fluorescent emissive layer and the visible light of the first phosphorescent emissive layer are not absorbed by each other, and the visible light spectrums of the first fluorescent emissive layer and the visible light spectrums of the first phosphorescent emissive layer are not affected by each other; and

an exciton blocking layer disposed between the group and the un-group.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the un-group comprises a second fluorescent emissive layer or a second phosphorescent.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the un-group is disposed between the exciton blocking layer and the hole transport layer.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the un-group is disposed between the exciton blocking layer and the electron transport layer.

5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the first phosphorescent emissive layer is disposed below the electron transport layer, the first fluorescent emissive layer is disposed between the first phosphorescent emissive layer and the exciton blocking layer.

6. The device of claim 4 , wherein the first phosphorescent emissive layer is disposed below the electron transport layer, the first fluorescent emissive layer is disposed between the first phosphorescent emissive layer and the exciton blocking layer.

7. The device of claim 3 , wherein the first phosphorescent emissive layer is disposed over the hole transport layer, the first fluorescent emissive layer is disposed between the first phosphorescent emissive layer and the exciton blocking layer.

8. The device of claim 4 , wherein the first fluorescent emissive layer is disposed over the hole transport layer, the first phosphorescent emissive layer is disposed between the first fluorescent emissive layer and the exciton layer.

9. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an electron injection layer disposed between the second electrode and the electron transport layer; and

a hole injection layer disposed between the first electrode and the hole transport layer.

10. A flat panel display comprising the organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 .

11. A portable display device comprising the organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 .

12. An organic electroluminescent device, comprising:

a substrate;

an first electrode and a second electrode opposite to the first electrode disposed over the substrate;

a hole transport layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;

an electron transport layer disposed between the second electrode and the hole transport layer; and

at least three emissive layers, including a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer, being stacked between the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, wherein the first layer is a first fluorescent emissive layer with a first dopant, the second layer is a first phosphorescent emissive layer with a second dopant, and the third layer comprises a second phosphorescent emissive layer or a second fluorescent emissive layer with a third dopant, so that the visible light of each of the at least three emissive layers are not absorbed by each other, and the visible light spectrums of each of the at least three emissive layers are not affected by each other.

13. The device of claim 12 , further comprising:

an exciton blocking layer adjacent to the first phosphorescent emissive layer.

14. The device of claim 12 , further comprising:

an electron injection layer disposed between the second electrode and the electron transport layer; and

a hole injection layer disposed between the first electrode and the hole transport layer.

15. A flat panel display comprising the organic electroluminescent device of claim 12 .

16. A portable display device comprising the organic electroluminescent device of claim 12 .
