Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An organic light-emitting diode includes: a first electrode and a second electrode facing each other; an organic emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a hole injection layer between the first electrode and the organic emission layer, wherein the hole injection layer includes a second metal compound layer and a second metal layer, the second metal compound layer being between the first electrode and the organic emission layer, and the second metal layer being between the second metal compound layer and the organic emission layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An organic light-emitting diode comprising: a first electrode and a second electrode facing each other; an organic emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a hole injection layer between the first electrode and the organic emission layer, wherein the hole injection layer comprises a second metal compound layer and a second metal layer, the second metal compound layer being between the first electrode and the organic emission layer, and the second metal layer being between the second metal compound layer and the organic emission layer. 2. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 1 , wherein a second metal compound of the second metal compound layer comprises a dipole material comprising a first metal and a halogen element, the first metal being the same as a metal of the first electrode. 3. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 1 , wherein a work function of the second metal compound layer and a work function of the second metal layer are each greater than a work function of the first electrode. 4. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 3 , wherein a work function of the second metal layer is greater than a work function of the second metal compound layer. 5. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 1 , wherein the hole injection layer further comprises a residual layer of a first metal compound layer, the residual layer being between the second metal layer and the organic emission layer. 6. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 5 , wherein a first metal compound of the first metal compound layer comprises a material comprising a second metal of the second metal layer and a halogen element. 7. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 6 , wherein a second metal compound of the second metal compound layer comprises a dipole material comprising a first metal and a halogen element, the first metal being the same as a metal of the first electrode. 8. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 5 , wherein a work function of the first metal compound layer, a work function of the second metal compound layer, and a work function of the second metal layer are each greater than a work function of the first electrode. 9. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 8 , wherein the work function of the second metal layer is greater than the work function of the first metal compound layer and greater than the work function of the second metal compound layer. 10. The organic light-emitting diode of claim 1 , further comprising a hole transport layer between the hole injection layer and the organic emission layer.
