Abstract:
An organic EL element including an anode; a light-emitting layer above the anode; a first interlayer on the light-emitting layer, the first interlayer including a fluoride of a first metal that is an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal; a second interlayer on the first interlayer, the second interlayer including a second metal that has a property of cleaving a bond between the first metal and fluorine in the fluoride; a cathode on the second interlayer; and a sorption layer above the cathode, the sorption layer including a third metal that has a property of taking up and holding at least one of moisture and oxygen. A thickness D1 of the first interlayer and a thickness D2 of the second interlayer satisfy 5%≦D2/D1≦25%.
Abstract:
A display panel including a substrate, anodes disposed on or above the substrate, light-emitting layers disposed on or above the anodes, a first intermediate layer disposed on or above the light-emitting layers, a second intermediate layer disposed on the first intermediate layer, and a cathode disposed on or above the second intermediate layer. The first intermediate layer includes a fluoride of a first metal or a complex of the first metal. The second intermediate layer includes a second metal. The anodes are light-transmissive and the cathode is light-reflective, or the anodes are light-reflective and the cathode is light-transmissive. The first metal is selected from a group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. The second metal is selected from rare earth metals.
Abstract:
An organic electroluminescence (EL) element including an anode, a cathode opposing the anode, a light-emitting layer between the anode and the cathode, a hole transport layer in contact with the light-emitting layer, between the light-emitting layer and the anode, and an electron transport layer in contact with the light-emitting layer, between the light-emitting layer and the cathode. A difference between a lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of an organic material included in the light-emitting layer and a LUMO level of an organic material included in the electron transport layer is greater than a difference between a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of an organic material included in the hole transport layer and a HOMO level of the organic material included in the light-emitting layer.
Abstract:
An organic electroluminescence (EL) element including an anode, a light-emitting layer above the anode, a first functional layer on and in contact with the light-emitting layer, a second functional layer on and in contact with the first functional layer, and a cathode above the second functional layer. A lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of the first functional layer is lower than at least one of a LUMO level of the second functional layer and a Fermi level of a metal material included in the second functional layer.
