[3] There is US Patent No.5683823 reported by Shi Jianmin as the prior art about the white light production OLEDs.
[4] Here, a light-emitting layer includes red and blue light emitting material uniformly dispersed in host light emission materials, so the apparatus has good electroluminescence characteristics. But the operation is difficult due to the difficulty of controlling concentration of a blue and red dopant during large manufacture.
[5]
[6] Disclosed is a white light OLED making the white light emission possible, which is manufactured by attaching a green light-emitting layer having the domain which contains red fluorescent layer after attaching blue light-emitting layer in the hole- transport layer(HTL) in JP7142169 invented by Sato etc.
[7] Disclosed is a white light expulsion device which is able to emit white light by reacting recombination of a hole and electron and includes the fluorescent substance in the cyan-red visible range in US Patent No.5405709 invented by Littman etc.

[9] Here, it is disclosed that as to the color display which is performed by arranging those in stacking type of blue(B), red(R) and green(G) and positioning the insulating layer in an interval on one substrate to form the display, a true color pixel is formed by consecutively stacking and arraying three OLEDs radiating different primary color light of blue(B), green(G) and red(R) which are typical primary colors on one substrate.
[10] The thin film forming of the insulating layer and metal electrode layer is repetitively manufactured on the organic layer, so it is limited that it is continuously performed for real operations in pertinent industry.
[I I] As to the method through the electroluminescent pixel, a white color display phase is formed by forming RGB color on the plane and combining RGB of each pixel through shadow masking technique such as described in US Patent No. 5742129 invented by Kenichi Nagayama etc.

[18] Technical challenges of the invention
[19] A transparent organic light emitting device(T OLED) of the prior art depends on how to set up the transparent electrode used in the electrode of the anode in the transparent electrode of the cathode, which depends on researches on how to improve the existing conductivity, transmittance ratio, flatness and the existing conductivity, transmittance ratio, flatness and required from the transparent electrode film, and the flatness until now and how to make rapidly transparent oxide conductive in existing luminosity organic film without damage.
[20] Moreover, the laminate organic light-emitting diode device using the conventional one board has the difficulty in the manufacture due to repeatedly depositing the electrode layer of a metal on the organic layer.
[21] Therefore, the present invention is to provide the flat light emitting OELDs device of the substantial changing countenance light according to a transparent organic light emitting device(TOLED) having excellent performance and solving the above problem. [22]
Technical Solution
[23] There are a large number of configurations of organic light emitting diodes which successfully can execute the present invention in prior art.
[24] A structure of the organic light-emitting device(OLED) of the typical conventional prior art is illustrated in figure 1, and conventional organic light-emitting device(OLED)(70) is manufactured on single board like the glass substrates (291) and mixes one or more organic layer(lOO).
[25] The substrate(291), the anode electrode layer(311) as the first electrode device, and each organic layer(lOO) and the second electrode device(321) are included, and the organic layer(lOO) includes the hole implant layer(HIL)(110), hole-transport layer(HTL)(l l l), organic light-emitting layer(EML)(122), electron-transport layer(ETL)(l 13) and electron injection layer(EIL)(l 14).
[26] Preferably the total thickness of a normal organic layer(lOO) is about 100-1500A.
[27] A cathode electrode layer(321) is formed on the organic layer(lOO) as the second electrode device.
[28] In the organic light-emitting layer(EML)(122) of an organic light-emitting diode(OLED)(70), organic electroluminescent is induced by supplying electricity to the organic layer(lOO) by power feeding equipments (401, 402) electrically connected to conductive electrode devices (311, 321) as described in figure 1.
[29] The cover(not illustrated) airtight-seals an OLED device(70) by being adhered on the lower part of a substrate(291) and upper part of a electrode device(321), which can prevent an organic light-emitting diode(OLED)(70) from being polluted by moisture or oxygen.
[30] The organic light-emitting diode(OLED) in figure 1(70) is known to have typically a luminosity external quantum efficiency of 0.05 ~ 4 percent according to the radiation color and the structure thereof.
[31] An example of prior art is described in US4769292, US4885211 and US5294870 etc. invented by Tang etc.
[32] The present invention is especially noted that a transparent organic light emitting device(TOLED) or the transparent organic light emitting diode(TOLED) can be comprised of the substrate(291), and the first conductive elemental 1) and the second conductive element(321) as shown in Figure 1, differently, the light- transmissive substrate and transparent electrodes.
[33] As shown in Figure 2, the most preferable a transparent organic light emitting device(TOLED) or the transparent organic light emitting diode(TOLED) for the first preferred embodiment is completed by binding the second power circuit(320) in a vacuum atmosphere in which moisture or oxygen etc. is extremely limited in a vacuum atmosphere in which moisture or oxygen etc. is extremely limited after depositing successively the organic layer(lOO) consisting of hole implant layer(HIL)(110), hole- transport layer(HTL)(l 11), the suitable host and the organic light-emitting layer(EML)(122) having a dopant, next, the electron-transport layer(ETL) (113), and the electron injection layer(EIL)(l 14) etc. on the first power circuit manufactured in advance(310) by a method including the vacuum evaporation etc.
[34] The first power circui(310) and the second power circuit(320) forms Transparent electrode(312, 322) on the surface of the first, second substrate which is a transparent glass substrate or transparent fusible substrate and have the structure comprising auxiliary electrodes(313, 323) on transparent electrodes(312, 322).
[35] Auxiliary electrodes(313, 323) take form and shape in which the center portion is vacant for light projected.
[36] In case of operating it as described above according to the present invention, as to the manufacture of a normal organic light-emitting diode (OLED) as described in Figure 1, it has the effect to minimize damage of an organic layer(lOO) which is easily occurred in the process for the manufacture of the cathode electrode and compose a transparent electrode layer.
[37] Moreover, in figure 2, the thin film which materials consisting of one or more selected in the group consisting of indium tin oxide(ITO), indium oxide(lnθ), indium- zinc-oxide(IZO), and the tin oxide(TO) and zirconium oxide(ZO) on the first, and second substrate are sputtered in the plasma atmosphere in advance can be used as the first, and second transparent electrode, and the electrode of enough thickness can be used, which has the effect that the short circuit of a substrate can be minimized and the short circuit is prevented about the flexibility.
[38] It has the effect of the low power by reducing electrical surface resistance.
[39] Because if the first and second transparent electrode(312, 322) are formed on the first, second substrate(311, 321) by forming materials comprising one or more selected in the group consisting of the indium tin oxide(ITO) of 0~100nm thicknesses, indium oxide(lnθ), indium-zinc-oxide (IZO), and the tin oxide(TO) and zirconium oxide(ZO) and a silver(Ag) layer of 0~70nm thickness and the first, and second transparent electrode(312, 322) on the first, second substrate in the form that a silver(Ag) layer is inserted between transparent electrode layers, the conductivity of metallic foil including a little bit silver can becomes good, so electronical surface resistance of the first and second power circuit can decrease, the short circuit about the flexibility can be protected and electrical resistance about the flexibility can be reduced, so it can have more efficient electrical performance.
[40] Referring to Figure 3, the structure of a transparent organic light emitting device(TOLED)(77) is described by each layer in more detail.
[41] The first transparent electrode(312) is formed on the first transparent substrate(311), and the first counter electrode(313) which its center is empty for light penetration and its rim is composed of materials having good conductivity is formed on the first transparent electrode (312)
[42] The first transparent electrode(312) and the first counter electrode (313) become a normal anode electrode layer and constitute the first power circuit(310).
[43] And such as forming process of the first power circuit, as to the second circuit(320), the second transparent electrode(322) is coated under the second transparent substrate and the second auxiliary electrode(323) which its center is empty for light penetration and its rim is composed of materials having good conductivity is formed under the second transparent electrode(322).
[44] The second transparent electrode(322) and the second auxiliary electrode(313) become a normal anode electrode layer and constitute the second power circuit(310).
[45] The first and second transparent electrode can be materials consisting of one or more selected in the group consisting of indium tin oxide(ITO), indium oxide(lnθ), indium- zinc-oxide(IZO), and the tin oxide (TO) and zirconium oxide(ZO) or conductivity polymer.
[46] The first and second power circuits (310, 320) can be prepared in advance.
[47] Next, the hole implant layer(HIL)(l 10) of the organic layer, and the hole-transport layer(HTL)(l 11), the host which is suitable for the radiation of the predetermined wavelength band and the organic light-emitting layer(EML) having a dopant(122), next the organic layer(lOO) consisting of electron-transport layer(ETL)(l 13), and the electron injection layer(EIL)(114) etc. are sequentially formed on the first transparent electrode of the first power circuit(310)(312) by a method including vacuum evaporation etc.
[48] After the organic layer(lOO) is formed, it is completed by making the second transparent electrode(322) of the second power circuit(320) prepared in advance and the upper side of the electron injection layer(EIL)(l 14) intersect and binded by a method including a junction etc. in vacuum atmosphere in which moisture or oxygen etc. is extremely limited.
[49] Here, if each organic layer(lOO) is so thin the continuity of the thin film can be insufficient, and the thick thin film has tendency to have the high inner resistance which demands the operation at higher power.
[50] The organic light-emitting layer(EML)(122) is made to radiate recombination energy by being reunited with holes supplied(holes) to the hole transporting layer(HTL)(l 11) and electronicses supplied by the electron-transport layer(ETL)(l 13) while constituting ordinarily one layer of an organic layer(lOO) to a thickness of 100-500A.
[51] There is a method which enhances reunion efficiency by putting a blocking layer in order to raise the recombination-rate of a hole and electronics because the mobility of the electronics through the electron transport layer(ETL)(l 13) is slower than the mobility of the hole through the hole transporting layer(HTL)(l 11).
[52] The organic light-emitting layer(EML)(122) can be doped with the host in which the predetermined dopant makes the emission spectrum in the absorption region and the corresponding dopant in the phosphorescence and fluorescent material in order to adjust the radiation color and increase the electroluminescence efficiency.
[53] The first and second auxiliary electrodes(312, 323) can be formed with an alloy such as Al, Cu, Mg/ Ag and a metal having good conductivity such as gold (Au) or silver (Ag) on Mg/ Ag.
[54] If normal bias power is supported between the first counter electrode (313) and the second auxiliary electrode(323), light is emitted in an organic light-emitting layer(EML)(122), and light is radiated by projectting the first and second power circuit of both sides.
[55] As to the first, and second substrates(311,321), the various material, for example, pliable or soft substrate such as PES (poly ethersulf one), PC (polycarbonate), PET(polyethylene terephthalate) or PEN (poly ethylene naphthalate) can be applied on one side or a both-side of the second hard substrate.
[56] Referring to Figure 4, the cross section of a transparent organic light emitting device(TOLED)(77) is shown.
[57] The normal organic layer(lOO) is interposed, the first transparent electrode(311) of the first power circuit(310) forms the anode electrode layer on the lower part, and the second transparent electrode layer(322) of the second power circuit(320) is comprised in the top as the cathode electrode layer.
[58] If the normal power supply(401) and ground connection(402) are connected to the first and second auxiliary electrodes(313, 323) and is supplied with electricity, as described above, electronicses introduced from the electron transport layer(ETL)(l 13) is reunited with holes supplied from the hole transporting layer(HTL)(l 11) on the organic light-emitting layer(EML)(122), so the recombination energy makes the radiation.
[59] Lower penetration light(502) projecting downward is generated by letting the light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer(EML)(122) of the organic layer(lOO) project the first power circuit(310) and top penetration light(501) projecting upward is generated by letting it the second power circuit(320).
[60]
[61] Referring to Figure 5, in the structure of including the light reflecting plate(812) on upper side of the rear substrate(811) of a transparent organic light emitting device(TOLED)(77), a schematical configuration diagram of illustrating the drive of the radiation is shown.
[62] If the normal power supply(401) and ground connection(402) are connected to the first and second auxiliary electrodes(313, 323) and is supplied with normal electricity, electronicses introduced from the electron transport layer(ETL)(l 13) is reunited with holes supplied from the hole transporting layer(HTL)(l 11) on the organic light- emitting layer(EML) (122), so the recombination energy makes the radiation.
[63] The string of the lower penetration light(502) light-emitting from the light-emitting layer(EML) of the organic layer(100)(122) and projecting by permeating the first power circuit described in the above(310) and the string of the top penetration light(501) projecting the second power circuit(320) are generated.
[64] At this time, it is clear if the light reflecting plate(812) is positioned on the backplane of the first power circuit(310), the lower part light penetration light(502) is reflected on the light reflecting plate (812) and the string of reflection light(503) again projects a transparent organic light emitting device(TOLED)(77) and the reflection light(503) which is reflected on the boundary face of the second power circuit(320) and the upper penetration light(501) can be observed on frontal surface.
