The organic light emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention can include an electron transport layer of two layers, and can optimize efficiency by controlling the amount of electrons injected into the light emitting layer. Specifically, the thickness of the electron transport layer provided near the light emitting layer can be adjusted to easily control the amount of electrons injected into the light emitting layer, thereby enabling the organic light emitting device to achieve optimal efficiency.

Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the total thickness of the first electron transporting layer and the second electron transporting layer is fixed, and the thickness of the first electron transporting layer and the thickness of the second electron transporting layer are controlled, The efficiency of the device can be adjusted.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an intermediate electrode or a charge generating layer may be included between at least two of the light emitting units.

The charge generating layer may mean a layer in which holes and electrons are generated when a voltage is applied.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the charge generating layer comprises a p-type organic layer; And an n-type organic compound layer closer to the anode than the p-type organic compound layer, and the p-type organic compound layer and the n-type organic compound layer can form an NP junction.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the difference between the HOMO energy level of the p-type organic layer and the LUMO energy level of the n-type organic layer may be 1 eV or less.

When the NP junction is formed, charge generation may occur at the LUMO level of the n-type organic layer and at the HOMO level of the p-type organic layer. Therefore, holes or electrons are easily formed by an external voltage or a light source. That is, holes are formed in the p-type organic layer and electrons are readily formed in the n-type organic layer by the NP junction. Since holes and electrons are simultaneously generated in the NP junction, electrons are transported toward the anode through the LUMO level of the n-type organic layer, and holes are transported toward the cathode through the HOMO level of the p-type organic layer.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order for charge generation by the NP junction to occur, the n-type organic compound layer preferably has a predetermined LUMO energy level with respect to the HOMO energy level of the p-type organic compound layer. If the HOMO level of the p-type organic material is smaller than the LUMO level of the n-type organic material, spontaneous charge generation can be achieved. For reference, the smaller the energy level, the greater the energy value of the electron. In order for spontaneous charge generation to occur, the HOMO level of the p-type organic material needs only to be smaller than the LUMO level of the n-type organic material, and the magnitude of the energy difference is not particularly limited. In other words, even if the difference between the HOMO level of the p-type organic material and the LUMO level of the n-type organic material is large, spontaneous charge generation occurs if the HOMO level of the p-type organic material is smaller than the LUMO level of the n-type organic material.

In the NP junction having the energy relation as described above, electrons at the HOMO level of the p-type organic material can move spontaneously to the vacant LUMO level of the n-type organic material. In this case, holes are generated at the HOMO level of the p-type organic layer and electrons are generated at the LUMO level of the n-type organic layer. This is the principle of charge generation. At the opposite energy level, spontaneous charge generation does not occur. In this case, it is necessary to change the vacuum level by the dipole at the interface in order to generate the charge. According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is revealed that the vacuum level (VL) movement due to the dipole effect can be about 1 eV at the NP junction interface, and the HOMO level of the p- The energy level is limited up to 1 eV as compared with the LUMO level of the organic material layer.

If the HOMO level of the p-type organic material and the LUMO level of the n-type organic material do not have the above-described energy relationship, the NP junction between the p-type organic layer and the n-type organic layer is not easily generated, do. That is, according to one embodiment of the present specification, the NP junction should satisfy not only the physical contact of the n-type organic layer and the p-type organic layer but also the energy relationship described above.

When such a charge generation structure is applied to a unit organic light emitting device, the charge injection barrier is lowered to enable driving of the low voltage device. In addition, the charge generating layer having the NP junction structure may function as a connection layer of each light emitting unit when the light emitting units are stacked to implement the tandem organic light emitting device.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the n-type organic layer is selected from the group consisting of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ), fluorine-substituted 3, 4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA), cyano-substituted PTCDA, naphthalene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTCDA), fluorine-substituted NTCDA, cyano-substituted NTCDA , And an organic compound selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the following formula (1).

A glass substrate (corning 7059 glass) coated with ITO (indium tin oxide) at a thickness of 1,000 Å was immersed in distilled water containing dispersant and washed with ultrasonic waves. The detergent was a product of Fischer Co. The distilled water was supplied by Millipore Co. Distilled water, which was secondly filtered with a filter of the product, was used. After the ITO was washed for 30 minutes, ultrasonic washing was repeated 10 times with distilled water twice. After the distilled water was washed, ultrasonic washing was performed in the order of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol solvent, followed by drying.

On this ITO transparent electrode, hexanitrile hexaazatriphenylene (HAT-CN) was thermally vacuum deposited to a thickness of 500 Å to form a hole injection layer. On the hole injection layer, a host H1 and a dopant D1 compound were vacuum deposited as a light emitting layer to a thickness of 300 ANGSTROM.

A first electron transporting layer was formed on the light emitting layer using a material satisfying?: 0.010 and 占0 : 2.1 占10-8 , and?: 0.013 and 占0 : 4.2 占10-10 The second electron transporting layer was formed.

Lithium fluoride (LiF) having a thickness of 12 Å and aluminum having a thickness of 2,000 Å were sequentially deposited on the second electron transporting layer to form a cathode, thereby preparing an organic light emitting device.

3 and 4, it can be seen that the organic light emitting device according to the embodiment has a lower current density point indicating maximum efficiency than the organic light emitting device according to the first comparative example. This means that high efficiency can be exhibited at a low current density and stable light emission can be performed.

In the case of Comparative Example 2, there is a problem that brightness adjustment is difficult because of a large change in efficiency of the organic light emitting device according to the driving current. On the other hand, the organic light emitting diode according to the third embodiment can easily predict the brightness of the organic light emitting diode according to the voltage.
