Abstract

An ink composition including a mixed solvent including a first solvent and a second solvent, and a light emitting material, wherein the first solvent and the second solvent each have a vapor pressure of about 1×10 −4 or greater and a boiling point of about 270° C. or less. The ink composition according to an embodiment may be applied to forming an emission layer of a light emitting diode to provide a light emitting diode having increased efficiency.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An ink composition comprising:
a mixed solvent including a first solvent and a second solvent; and
a light emitting material, wherein
the first solvent and the second solvent each have a vapor pressure of about 1×10 −4 or greater and a boiling point of about 270° C. or less, and
the light emitting material includes a host compound, and a dopant compound.

2. The ink composition of claim 1 , wherein the mixed solvent has a relative evaporation rate of about 30,000 or less.

3. The ink composition of claim 1 , wherein the mixed solvent has a 8D of about 20 or less and a δP of about 4 or greater in terms of Hansen parameters.

4. The ink composition of claim 1 , wherein the first solvent is an aromatic solvent.

5. The ink composition of claim 4 , wherein the second solvent is an ether-based solvent.

6. The ink composition of claim 5 , wherein the first solvent and the second solvent are included at a ratio of about 8:2 to about 6:4.

7. The ink composition of claim 1 , wherein the mixed solvent has an evaporation completion temperature of about 150° C. or less.

8. The ink composition of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting material is included at an amount of about 0.5 to about 15 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the mixed solvent.

9. A light emitting diode comprising:
a first electrode;
a hole transport region disposed on the first electrode;
an emission layer disposed on the hole transport region and including:
a mixed solvent including a first solvent and a second solvent, and
a light emitting material; and
a second electrode disposed on the emission layer, wherein
the first solvent and the second solvent each have a vapor pressure of about 1×10 −4 or greater and a boiling point of about 270° C. or less, and
the light emitting material includes a host compound and a dopant compound.

10. The light emitting diode of claim 9 , wherein the mixed solvent has a relative evaporation rate of about 30,000 or less.

11. The light emitting diode of claim 9 , wherein the mixed solvent has a 8D of about 20 or less and a δP of about 4 or greater in terms of Hansen parameters.

12. The light emitting diode of claim 11 , wherein
the hole transport region comprises a hole transport compound, and
the hole transport compound has a 8D of greater than about 20 and a δP of less than about 4 in terms of Hansen parameters.

13. The light emitting diode of claim 9 , further comprising:
a capping layer disposed on the second electrode,
wherein the capping layer has a refractive index of about 1.6 or greater.
