Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A flexible organic light emitting display (OLED) device includes an organic emitting diode on a flexible substrate, an encapsulation film covering the organic emitting diode and including a first inorganic layer and an organic layer. The first inorganic layer is formed of a first material, and at least a portion of the first inorganic layer includes a dopant that increases the surface energy of the doped material compared to that of non-doped material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A flexible organic light emitting display (OLED) device, comprising: a flexible substrate; an organic emitting diode on the flexible substrate; and an encapsulation film covering the organic emitting diode, the encapsulation film including: a first inorganic layer comprising a first material and encapsulating the organic emitting diode, at least a portion of the first inorganic layer also comprising a dopant that increases surface energy of a doped first material compared to surface energy of the first material when the first material is not doped with the dopant; and an organic layer on the first inorganic layer, wherein within said portion of the first inorganic layer, a concentration of the dopant in a first portion of the first inorganic layer is higher than a concentration of the dopant in a second portion of the first inorganic layer closer to the organic emitting diode than the first portion, and wherein the organic layer directly contacts the first portion of the first inorganic layer. 2. The flexible OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the first material is silicon oxide, and the dopant is nitrogen. 3. The flexible OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the portion includes a top surface of the first inorganic layer. 4. The flexible OLED device of claim 1 , wherein a concentration of the dopant in a third portion of the first inorganic layer between the first portion and the second portion is higher than the concentration in the second portion but lower than the concentration in the first portion. 5. The flexible OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the first inorganic layer includes the first material that is not doped with the dopant. 6. The flexible OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the first material is silicon oxide and the dopant is nitrogen, and when a chemical formula for the doped first material in the first portion is Si x1 O y1 N z1 :H, and a chemical formula for the doped first material in the second portion is Si x2 O y2 N z2 :H, wherein x1≤x2, y1<y2, and z1>z2. 7. The flexible OLED device of claim 6 , wherein 0.8≤x1, x2≤1.2, 1.4≤y1, y2≤1.9, 0<z≤0.5, and 0≤z2≤0.5. 8. The flexible OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the dopant has a concentration gradient in the portion of the first inorganic layer. 9. The flexible OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation film further includes a second inorganic layer covering the organic layer and including silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or siliconoxynitride. 10. The flexible OLED device of claim 9 , wherein the second inorganic layer is thicker than the first inorganic layer. 11. The flexible OLED device of claim 1 , further comprising: a thin film transistor between the flexible substrate and the organic emitting diode; and a passivation layer between the thin film transistor and the organic emitting diode, wherein the organic emitting diode is electrically connected to the thin film transistor.
