Abstract

Provided are a substrate for an organic electronic device (OED), an OED, and lighting. The substrate capable of forming an OED may have excellent performances including light extraction efficiency and prevent penetration of moisture or a gas from an external environment, and thus an OED having excellent performance and durability may be provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A substrate for an organic electronic device, comprising:
a base layer; and
a scattering layer that is on the base layer and that comprises a binder comprising poly(amic acid) and a scattering particle, of which a refractive index is different from that of the binder,
wherein the difference in refractive index between the scattering particle and the binder is from 0.5 to 4.0, wherein the scattering particle has a refractive index of 2.1 to 3.5 and the binder has a refractive index of 1.7 or more with respect to light having a wavelength of 633 nm, wherein the scattering particle forms a single layer in the scattering layer, and wherein the poly(amic acid) has a light transmittance of 80% or more in a visible region.

2. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the poly(amic acid) has a refractive index of 1.8 or more with respect to light having a wavelength of 633 nm.

3. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the poly(amic acid) comprises a repeating unit of Formula 1:

where L is —S—, —S(═O)—, —S(═O) 2 — or —S—S—, and n is a positive number.

4. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the poly(amic acid) comprises a repeating unit of Formula 2:

where L is —S—, —S(═O)—, —S(═O) 2 — or —S—S—, and n is a positive number.

5. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the poly(amic acid) has a weight average molecular weight converted based on the standard polystyrene measured by gel permeation chromatograph in the range from 10,000 to 100,000.

6. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the binder comprises the poly(amic acid) and further comprises polyimide.

7. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the scattering particle has an average diameter of 100 nm or more.

8. The substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising: a planarized layer on the scattering layer.

9. The substrate according to claim 8 , wherein the planarized layer comprises a polysiloxane, polyimide or poly(amic acid) binder and a particle, of which a refractive index is 2.5 or more.

10. The substrate according to claim 9 , wherein the planarized layer comprises the particle, of which a refractive index is 2.5 or more in an amount of 300 parts by weight or less relative to 100 parts by weight of the binder.

11. The substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising: an electrode layer formed on the scattering layer.

12. The substrate according to claim 11 , wherein a projected area of a high refractive layer is smaller than that of the electrode layer, and the electrode layer is formed on both of the high refractive layer and the base layer on which the high refractive layer is not formed.

13. An organic electronic device, comprising:
a substrate; and
a first electrode layer; an organic layer comprising an emitting layer; and a second electrode layer, which are sequentially present on the substrate,
wherein the substrate comprises a base layer; and a scattering layer that is on the base layer and that comprises a binder comprising poly(amic acid) or polyimide and a scattering particle, of which a refractive index is different from that of the binder, wherein the difference in refractive index between the scattering particle and the binder is from 0.5 to 4.0, wherein the scattering particle has a refractive index of 2.1 to 3.5 and the binder has a refractive index of 1.7 or more with respect to light having a wavelength of 633 nm, and wherein the scattering particle forms a single layer in the scattering layer.

14. The organic electronic device according to claim 13 , which is an organic light emitting device.

15. Lighting, comprising: the organic electronic device of claim 13 .
