Abstract

An organic light emitting display device and a light apparatus for vehicles using the same include a first layer on a first electrode, the first layer including a first emission layer and a first electron transport layer, a second layer on the first layer, the second layer including a second emission layer and a second electron transport layer, a second electrode on the second layer, and an N-type charge generation layer between the first layer and the second layer, wherein a low unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) level of the first electron transport layer is higher than a LUMO level of a host included in the N-type charge generation layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An organic light emitting display device, comprising:
a first layer on a first electrode, the first layer including a first emission layer and a first electron transport layer;
a second layer on the first layer, the second layer including a second emission layer and a second electron transport layer;
a second electrode on the second layer; and
an N-type charge generation layer between the first layer and the second layer,
wherein a low unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) level of the first electron transport layer is higher than a LUMO level of a host included in the N-type charge generation layer.

2. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein a difference between the LUMO level of the first electron transport layer and the LUMO level of the host included in the N-type charge generation layer is greater than 0.2 eV.

3. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein a difference between the LUMO level of the first electron transport layer and the LUMO level of the host included in the N-type charge generation layer is 0.4 eV or more.

4. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein
a thickness of the first electron transport layer is 5 nm to 30 nm, and
the first electron transport layer comprises one material or the first electron transport layer is formed by co-depositing at least two materials.

5. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the N-type charge generation layer comprises at least one material among lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), cesium (Cs), magnesium (Mg), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), radium (Ra), Liq, and an N-type dopant, the host doped with the at least one material.

6. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein one among the first electrode and the second electrode comprises a semitransmissive electrode.

7. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first emission layer and the second emission layer emit lights having a same color.

8. An organic light emitting display device, comprising:
a first layer on a first electrode, the first layer including a first emission layer and a first electron transport layer;
a second layer on the first layer, the second layer including a second emission layer and a second electron transport layer;
a second electrode on the second layer; and
an N-type charge generation layer between the first layer and the second layer, the N-type charge generation layer including a metal,
wherein the organic light emitting display device has an ALEN (adjusted low unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) level between the electron transport layer (ETL) and the N-type charge generation layer (N-type CGL) structure where a LUMO level of the first electron transport layer and a LUMO level of a host in the N-type charge generation layer are adjusted to prevent the metal in the N-type charge generation layer from being diffused to the first emission layer and maintain an emission zone in the first emission layer despite the elapse of time.

9. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein a difference between the LUMO level of the first electron transport layer and the LUMO level of the host included in the N-type charge generation layer is greater than 0.2 eV.

10. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein a difference between the LUMO level of the first electron transport layer and the LUMO level of the host included in the N-type charge generation layer is 0.4 eV or more.

11. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the metal included in the N-type charge generation layer is at least one material among lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), cesium (Cs), magnesium (Mg), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), radium (Ra), Liq, and an N-type dopant.

12. A lighting apparatus for vehicles, comprising:
an organic light emitting device including an emission layer, an electron transport layer, and a charge generation layer between an anode and a cathode,
wherein a low unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) level of the electron transport layer is higher than a LUMO level of a host included in the charge generation layer so as to adjust a charge balance of the emission layer based on a temperature change of a room temperature environment and a high temperature environment relevant to a vehicle.

13. The lighting apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the charge generation layer comprises an N-type charge generation layer.

14. The lighting apparatus of claim 13 , wherein a difference between the LUMO level of the electron transport layer and the LUMO level of the host included in the N-type charge generation layer is greater than 0.2 eV.
