1303139 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明有關於一種有機發光裝置,特別有關一種具有限電 流設計之有機發光裝置。 【先前技術】 有機電激發光元件(organic electroluminescent devices ; OLED or polymer electroluminescent devices ; PLED)有輕薄、自 發光、低消耗功率、不需背光源、無視角限制及高反應速率等 優良特性,已被視為平面顯示器的明日之星。除了顯示器應用 外,由於有機電激發光元件可在輕薄、可撓式的基材上形成陣 列結構,所以也非常適合應用於照明,一般預估有機電激發光 元件的發光效率提昇至100Lm/W以上,即有機會取代一般照明 光源,因此效率的提昇成為有機電激發光元件發展的重要課題 之° 但目前有機激電發光元件在照明應用上,因為OLED裝置 所使用之有機材料厚度都很薄,大約在35nm以下,通常在 15〜20nm之間,而且此類材料在製程上易受雜質微粒的污染, 以及易受外在環境(例如水氣、氧氧與UV光)的影響。最嚴重的 是,當OLED裝置面積增大時,若局部出現一小點區域產生近 乎短路狀態,便將會導致整個系統電流遽增且集中,造成其它 正常的發光區域受其影響,而得不到足夠電流驅動,使得整個 顯不糸統靡疾。 第1圖所示之習知有機發光顯示裝置100,係由串聯地連 接複數個發光單元10所構成,為了避免個別的發光單元不會因 為失效之發光單元的影響,而改變其正常操作時之發光亮度, 0178-A21080TWF(N2);P05940008TW;dennis 1303139 因此需要一定電流源Is來驅動整個顯示裝置。然而,由於使用 定電流源Is來驅動,當發光單元10超過一定數量時,顯示裝置 之端電壓Vs將大到十分可觀。再者,由於發光元件是串聯連 接,因此流經失效之發光單元之電流,仍然會造成電功率之浪 費,而且失效的發光單元愈多,此種效應愈明顯。 【發明内容】 有鑑於此,本發明之首要目的,係在於避免失效之顯示單 元,影響其它正常顯示單元之亮度,同時避免電功率之浪費。 φ 為達成上述目的,本發明提供一種有機發光裝置,包括複 數並聯連接之發光單元,每一發光單元包括一有機發光二極體 (OLED),具有一端耦接至一電壓源之一極;以及一限電流單元, 串聯地連接至有機發光二極體,並具有一端耦接至電壓源之另 _極〇 根據上述目的,本發明亦提供一種有機發光裝置,包括一 第一及一第二透明基板;以及複數並聯連接發光單元,設置於 第一、第二透明基板之間,每一發光單元包括一有機發光二極 ^ 體,具有一第一電極設置於第一透明基板上、一第二電極以及 一有機堆疊(organic stack)層設置於上述第一、第二電極之間;

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an organic light-emitting device, and more particularly to an organic light-emitting device having a current-limiting design. [Prior Art] Organic electroluminescent devices (OLED/polymer electroluminescent devices; PLED) have excellent characteristics such as light weight, self-luminescence, low power consumption, no backlight, no viewing angle limitation, and high reaction rate. Think of tomorrow's stars as flat-panel displays. In addition to display applications, since organic electroluminescent elements can form array structures on thin, flexible substrates, they are also very suitable for illumination. Generally, the luminous efficiency of organic electroluminescent elements is estimated to be 100Lm/W. Above, there is an opportunity to replace the general illumination source, so the improvement of efficiency becomes an important issue in the development of organic electroluminescent elements. However, the current organic electroluminescent elements are used in lighting applications because the thickness of organic materials used in OLED devices is very thin. It is below about 35 nm, usually between 15 and 20 nm, and such materials are susceptible to contamination by foreign particles in the process and are susceptible to external environments such as moisture, oxygen and UV light. The most serious problem is that when the area of the OLED device increases, if a small area is locally generated, the near-short state will cause the current of the whole system to increase and concentrate, causing other normal light-emitting areas to be affected by it. Driven by enough current, making the whole manifestation of dysentery. The conventional organic light-emitting display device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is composed of a plurality of light-emitting units 10 connected in series, in order to prevent individual light-emitting units from changing their normal operation due to the failure of the failed light-emitting unit. Luminance, 0178-A21080TWF (N2); P05940008TW; dennis 1303139 Therefore, a certain current source Is is required to drive the entire display device. However, since the constant current source Is is used for driving, when the light-emitting unit 10 exceeds a certain amount, the terminal voltage Vs of the display device will be large enough. Moreover, since the light-emitting elements are connected in series, the current flowing through the failed light-emitting unit still causes a waste of electric power, and the more the failed light-emitting units, the more obvious this effect is. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of this, the primary object of the present invention is to avoid a failure of the display unit, affecting the brightness of other normal display units, while avoiding waste of electrical power. φ In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an organic light-emitting device comprising a plurality of light-emitting units connected in parallel, each light-emitting unit comprising an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) having one end coupled to a voltage source and a voltage source; A current limiting unit is connected in series to the organic light emitting diode and has one end coupled to the voltage source. According to the above object, the present invention also provides an organic light emitting device comprising a first and a second transparent a substrate and a plurality of parallel connection light-emitting units disposed between the first and second transparent substrates, each of the light-emitting units including an organic light-emitting diode, having a first electrode disposed on the first transparent substrate and a second An electrode and an organic stack layer are disposed between the first and second electrodes; and a current limiting unit electrically connected to the second electrode of the organic light emitting diode to form a series structure, and Has a resistive layer. According to the above objective, the present invention also provides a method of fabricating an organic light-emitting device, comprising: forming an organic light-emitting diode on a first transparent substrate, wherein the organic light-emitting diode has a first electrode disposed on the first transparent substrate a second electrode and an organic light emitting stacked layer are disposed between the first and second electrodes; and a current limiting unit having a resistive layer is formed for the organic light emitting 0178 - A21080TWF (N2); P05940008TW; Dennis 6 1303139 Diodes are connected in series.

It is a schematic diagram of the organic light-emitting device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the organic light-emitting device 200A includes a plurality of light-emitting units 20 connected in parallel, and each of the light-emitting units 20 includes an organic light emitting diode (OLED) 22 and a current limiting unit 24. For example, the anode of the organic light emitting diode 22 is coupled to the anode of the voltage source Vs, and the current limiting unit 24 is connected in series to the organic light emitting diode 22 and has a cathode coupled to the voltage source Vs at one end. . In addition, the light emitting units 20 in the organic light emitting device 200A can be arranged in a matrix form, and the organic light emitting device 200A can be a lighting device or a display device, and the organic light emitting diode 22 can be any color. The organic light-emitting diode 22 is preferably a white organic diode (white 0LED), but is not limited thereto. In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of light-emitting units 20 connected in parallel form a large-area light-emitting device, thereby preventing the malfunctioning light-emitting unit from affecting the normal operation of the entire light-emitting device. In general, the voltage source Vs in the embodiment of the present invention may be a pulsed voltage source or an alternating current (AC) voltage source. In addition, the current limiting unit 24 can be an energy storage component, such as a capacitive component, an inductive component, or a capacitive component and an inductive component, because the inductive or capacitive component is in a non-DC.

Furthermore, at this time, the capacitor C2 can also function as an energy storage component, such as a small battery. When the voltage source is turned from a high voltage to a low voltage, the power is supplied to the other normally working organic light emitting diodes 22 i by the discharge action. 22-3 to 22-11 〇- _ 2C is another embodiment of the organic light-emitting device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the organic light-emitting device 200C includes a plurality of light-emitting units connected in parallel, and each of the light-emitting units 7G includes one of the organic light-emitting diodes 22j to 22 in series and the inductors L1 to Lne.
