- un-patterned when used in conjunction with an organic layer used in the production of an EL device, means that the organic layer has been deposited across the entire pixel array, as opposed to being deposited in a specific pattern across the pixel array.
- the term "patterned", when used in conjunction with a dopant layer used in the production of an EL device, means that the dopant is deposited into specified wells within specified pixels across the pixel array.
- the phrase "surface treatment” refers to a process commonly used in the art to modify the wetting properties of the walls of wells in subpixellated EL devices.
- “Surface treatment” refers to exposure to a dry plasma, using CF gas after the wells are formed with walls made of organic materials, such as photoresists or acrylic resins.
- the surface of the substrate and the walls of the wells are substantially fluorinated.
- fluorinated means that fluorine is associated with the surface of the substrate. Fluorine may be associated with the surface in a number of ways, for example, the fluorine may be physically adsorbed onto the surface, chemically bonded to the surface, and the like.
- the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion.
- a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

- Figure 1 illustrates one embodiment of the invention for producing full-color EL devices.
- the substrate is either embedded with microcircuitry (active matrix substrate) or has no embedded microcircuitry (passive matrix substrate).
- a rigid or flexible substrate 10 is provided with a patterned anode layer 20, and then walls 30 are provided so as to form a plurality of wells in sets of three on the substrate.
- the wells may have any convenient shape, for example, rectangular, circular (including oval-shaped), triangular, and the like.
- the walls form rectangular wells.
- Each well contains an anode and forms a subpixel, and each set of three wells forms a pixel.
- the walls may be constructed from organic material such as epoxy resin, acrylic resin, polyimide resin, and the like, or the walls may be constructed from inorganic material such as glass. Conventional photolithography techniques may be used to form the pattern of walls and wells. Upon complete fabrication of the device, the three subpixels will emit the three primary display colors, i.e., red, green, and blue. Electronic devices containing subpixels improve the contrast of a device and prevent light from leaking between pixels.
- anode surface is then cleaned to remove surface contaminants using methods well known to those skilled in the art (for example, see US Patent No. 5,798,170).
- an un-patterned buffer layer 40 is deposited onto the anode layer 20, and an un-patterned blue EL polymer layer 50 is then coated over the entire active area (i.e., all of the subpixels) by methods well-known to those skilled in the art e.g., spin coating, silk-screen printing, and the like.
- the un-patterned blue EL polymer layer can serve as a host to receive green and red dopants in their respective subpixels for formation of a full-color display.
- subpixels that emit green and red light are next formed by ink-jetting drops of polymer solutions containing green dopant into a first set of subpixels and ink-jetting drops of polymer solutions containing red dopant into a second set of subpixels to form the green 52 and red 54 EL polymer layers.
- the polymer solutions contain small amounts of green and red dopants in a polymer host material, wherein the polymer host material is the same polymer used for the un- patterned blue EL polymer layer 50.

- a cathode material 60 is deposited over the entire surface to complete the device.
- the term “monolayer” refers to a host EL polymer having a dopant diffused therein with a uniform density distribution, wherein the photoluminescence spectrum of the host EL polymer containing dopant diffused therein displays emission from the dopant only.
- the term “blend layer” refers to an EL polymer layer that is formed when the same EL polymer is used in consecutive deposition steps, doped or undoped, for the purpose of introducing specific dopants into the layer that alter the characteristic luminescence of that layer.
- the blend layer can have a gradient density distribution and exhibit the characteristic photoluminescence of both the host and the dopant, or it can have the uniform density distribution of a monolayer as defined above.
- Figure 2 illustrates another embodiment of the invention methods for producing full-color EL devices.
- patterned green and red polymer layers 52 and 54 may be deposited into two of the three wells in a pixel, Fig. 2A, before an un-patterned blue EL polymer 50 is deposited, Fig. 2B.
- the un-patterned buffer layer 40 coating alone that prevents wetting of the walls by the dopant layers when they are deposited in the subpixels.
- the host polymer for the green and red dopants is the same polymer used for the un-patterned blue EL polymer layer 50.
- blend layers 56 and 58 can be formed, Fig. 2C.
- a cathode layer 60 is deposited to complete the device, Fig. 2D.
- An additional un-patterned organic layer 70 which conducts electrons and may or may not emit light, is coated before the cathode 60 and after the EL polymer layers 50, 56 and 58.
- This additional layer which lies adjacent to the cathode layer 60, facilitates injection and transport of electrons from the cathode into the EL polymer and/or eliminates EL quenching due to the cathode.
- the manufacture of EL devices according to the invention is advantageous for several reasons. For example, blue pixels and blue subpixels are formed by an un-patterned deposition process (e.g., spin coating). Thus, emission homogeneity and device performance are both optimized.
- the process time for formation of each of the polymer layers is markedly reduced by eliminating ink-jet processing time and setting time for the buffer and blue EL polymer layers. This further reduction in process time also contributes to improved device performance (both efficiency and operation life).
- the gradient density profile in the green and red subpixels is readily tuned by the wetting process when a dopant is deposited from solution using the same host polymer as used for the un- patterned blue EL polymer layer. This tuning provides an effective means to optimize emission of the OLED and thus the device performance. Indeed, since the same blue light-emitting EL materials used for blue subpixels are used as host materials for green and red subpixels, the intensity vs. voltage dependence of the red, green and blue subpixels follows the same trends.
- the optional un-patterned organic layer 70 adjacent to the cathode layer 60 in Fig. 3 facilitates injection and transport of electrons into the EL layer, thereby providing an additional means for optimizing device performance.
- the diffusion of the green and red dopants into the blue EL host polymer can be uniform and complete. Indeed, as set forth in Examples 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 and in Figure 10, the inventive EL devices contain green and red subpixels which exhibit photoluminescence spectra displaying emission from the green and red dopants only.
- EL devices comprising a substrate, an anode layer, an electroluminescent polymer layer selected to produce blue light, and a cathode layer, wherein in at least one first subpixel the electroluminescent polymer layer has diffused therein a first dopant selected to produce red light and in at least one second subpixel the electroluminescent polymer layer has diffused therein a second dopant selected to produce green light, wherein the at least one first subpixel exhibits a photoluminescence spectrum displaying emission only from the first dopant, and the at least one second subpixel exhibits a photoluminescence spectrum displaying emission only from the second dopant.
- the methods of this invention are not limited to producing red, green, and blue subpixellated full-color displays, but can be used to form any number of subpixels with any combination of characteristic emissions, based on the properties of the electroluminescent materials used.
- EL devices are produced according to the methods of the invention, there is no need for surface treatment of the substrate prior to deposition of either the un-patterned blue EL polymer or the red and green dopant materials.
- plasma surface treatment of wells prior to deposition of polymer layers can damage the underlying substrate and especially damage the transistors embedded in the substrate of an active matrix device. Indeed, the surfaces of the walls of the wells employed in the invention EL devices are substantially free of fluorine.
- the phrase "substantially free of fluorine” means that the surfaces contain an amount of fluorine which is normally present, based on the composition of the materials, and is to be distinguished from an amount of fluorine that would be present on the surface after surface treatment with CF 4 .
- Substrates 10 contemplated for use in the practice of the invention can be flexible or rigid, organic or inorganic. Generally, glass or organic films in either rigid or flexible form are used as a support.

- “higher work function” is intended to mean a material having a work function of at least approximately 4.4 eV.
- Materials for the cathode layer can be selected from alkali metals of Group 1 (e.g., Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs,), the Group 2 metals (e.g., Mg, Ca, Ba, or the like), the Group 12 metals, the lanthanides (e.g., Ce, Sm, Eu, or the like), and the actinides (e.g., Th, U, or the like).
- the cathode comprises materials such as aluminum, indium, yttrium, barium, lithium, cerium, cesium, europium, rubidium, magnesium, samarium, and combinations thereof.
- the cathode can also be a metal alloy, for example, BaAI, LiAI, CaAI, Cain, and the like, or can be in a multiple layer form with each layer containing a different metal or metal alloy composition. In this case, only the layer adjacent to the organic emission layer or optional electron transport layer requires a lower work function.
- the thickness of the first layer is typically in the range of 1-300 nm.
- the cathode layer is usually formed by a chemical or physical vapor deposition process.
- the cathode layer can be patterned, as discussed above in reference to the anode layer, or un-patterned. If the device lies within a passive matrix array, the cathode layer may be patterned into substantially parallel strips, where the lengths of the cathode layer strips extend in substantially the same direction and substantially perpendicular to the lengths of the anode layer strips.
- the pixels are formed at the cross points (where an anode layer strip intersects a cathode layer strip when the array is seen from a plan or top view).
- the cathode can be un-patterned, or monolithic, with the pixels and subpixels defined by the patterning of the anode layer.
- the different layers may have any suitable thickness.
- the inorganic anode layer is usually no greater than approximately 500 nm, for example, approximately 10-200 nm; the buffer layer is usually no greater than approximately 500 nm, for example, approximately 20-200 nm; the EL layer is usually no greater than approximately 200 nm, for example, approximately 10-80 nm; the optional un-patterned layer is usually no greater than approximately 100 nm, for example, approximately 20-80 nm; and the cathode layer is usually no greater than approximately 1000 nm, for example, approximately 50-500 nm. If the anode layer or the cathode layer needs to transmit at least some light, the thickness of such layer may not exceed approximately 100 nm.
- OLEDs organic light emitting diodes
- electrons and holes injected from the cathode and anode layers, respectively, into the EL layer, form negative and positively charged polarons in the polymer. These polarons migrate under the influence of the applied electric field, forming a polaron exciton with an oppositely charged species and subsequently undergoing radiative recombination.
- a sufficient potential difference between the anode and cathode usually less than approximately 15 volts, and in many instances no greater than approximately 5 volts, may be applied to the device. The actual potential difference may depend on the use of the device in a larger electronic component.
- the anode layer is biased to a positive voltage and the cathode layer is at substantially ground potential or zero volts during the operation of the electronic device.
- a battery or other power source(s) may be electrically connected to the electronic device as part of a circuit.
- the substrates were 30 x 30 mm ITO coated glass.
- the buffer layer was a PEDOT material (BAYTRON-P, Bayer AG, Germany).
- the EL polymers were polyfluorene derivative blue and green materials (Blue-1 , Blue-2, Blue-3, Green-1 ), or bis-cyclometallated iridium complexes (lr-R1 ) for red emission.
- the EL polymer layer was spin-coated to a thickness of 77-100 nm. Toluene was used for the solution casting of the blue and green EL materials and dichloromethane was used for the solution casting of red Ir complex EL materials.
- the cathode used was 3.5 nm Ba with 500 nm Al.
- Green and blue reference devices with a single coating of EL polymer were also fabricated for comparison.
- the reference devices were made by spin-coating the EL polymer in a 1-1.5 % solution of polymer in toluene followed by immediate cathode deposition.
- a thin layer (30-40 nm) of the blue EL polymer was spin-coated, and the layer was annealed for 10 minutes at 60°C followed by spinning of the second layer (40-50 nm).
- the second layer was applied as a toluene solution of a polymer containing up to 5 % (50 mg in 1 ml of solution) of an Ir complex red emitter in the same blue polymer host as the blue layer.
- Device performance is summarized in Table 1. The data demonstrate that one can use a double layer configuration without sacrificing efficiency or operation voltage.
- the structures depicted in Figs. 1-3 provide a unified relationship between emission intensity and operation voltage.
- EL spectra for single layer and bilayer devices are shown in Figs. 5 and 6, respectively. Red, green and blue emissions, which form the fundamental color subpixels in full-color displays, were demonstrated.
- Example 2 devices were fabricated as in Example 1 , but with a spin-coated cyano-poly(p-phenylene) (CN-PPP) blue layer (-70 nm).
- the green devices were produced by vapor deposition of a green dopant molecule (Coumarin 545T, Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, New York) over the blue EL polymer layer.
- a green dopant molecule Coumarin 545T, Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, New York
- One of the devices was treated under toluene solvent vapor to let the green dopant diffuse into the blue EL polymer host.
- Another device was heated to allow the dopant to diffuse into the host.

- EL emission spectra produced by single layer EL polymers doped with fluorescent dopants are shown in Fig. 7. This example demonstrated that green and red pixels can be prepared by depositing dopant molecules 5 on top of a blue EL polymer layer. Diffusing a layer into a single organic layer with a desired density profile can be achieved by post heating or solvent vapor treatment.
- Example 1 was repeated using a soluble poly(aryl- 0 oxadiazole) conjugated polymer to form a continuous, un-patterned electron transport layer before the cathode was deposited. Its thickness was 20-30 nm.
- the cathode materials used in this experiment were calcium and aluminum.
- RGB OLEDs can be fabricated with cathode materials with higher work functions than those 0 most commonly used.
- Air stable cathodes (such as Al) can be used for full-color PLED displays.
- EXAMPLE 4 In this example, devices were fabricated as in example 1 , but with a CN-PPP spin-coated blue layer (-70 nm). Green emitters were obtained 5 by spin-coating a green Ir complex dopant (lr-G1 ) (see, Y. Wang et al. , Appl. Phys. Lett. 79, 449 (2001)) over the blue polymer layer. Red devices were also made according to the same procedure but the green dopant was replaced with a red Ir complex dopant (lr-R2) (similar to that in Example 1 ). The emission spectra of these devices are shown in Fig. 8. 0 The corresponding EL efficiencies are shown in Table 3.
- green and red emitters can be made by coating a phosphorescent dopant molecule onto a blue EL polymer layer using a solution process (such as drop coating, jetting, etc.).
- a solution process such as drop coating, jetting, etc.
- Single green and red EL blend layers with desired density profiles can be achieved by proper selection of solvent and process conditions.
- Example 6 In this Example, Example 5 was repeated with the following modifications. After spin-coating a buffer layer and a blue EL polymer 25 layer, green and red molecular dopants were vapor deposited into defined areas by means of a pair of shadow masks. The dopants were then diffused into the underlying blue EL polymer layer to form single green and red monolayers, by exposing the panel to organic solvent vapor.
- Exemplary solvent vapors that can be used for this purpose include xylene, toluene, chlorobenzene, etc., with a toluene vaporization temperature of 70° C.
- Fig. 10 shows PL emission spectra of the green and red subpixels.
- Example 5 a device was fabricated as in Example 5, however, the dopant was diffused into the host layer by thermal treatment rather than diffusion from a wetting process. After spin-coating a buffer layer and a blue EL polymer layer, green and red molecular dopants were deposited into defined areas by means of a pair of shadow masks. The panel was then heated under vacuum, or under a N 2 or Ar atmosphere at 200 °C for 10 minutes. The formation of a red and green polymer blend monolayers was confirmed by PL imaging and PL spectra as in the previous example.
- Example 5 was repeated using an external biasing field for a diffusion process. After spin-coating the buffer layer and the blue EL polymer layer, green and red molecular dopants were deposited into defined areas by means of a pair of shadow masks, followed by cathode deposition. The diffusion of red and green dopants into the blue EL polymer layer was observed when the device was biased to a field of 1 x 0 5 V/cm. The formation of red and green polymer monolayers was confirmed by photoluminescence (PL) imaging and PL spectra after the biasing process.

- EXAMPLE 10 Blue, green and red color pixels were fabricated as in Example 1. The substrate size was 4"x 4". The active area was 3.2" x 2.4" with 4" diagonal direction. The color pixel size was 100 pixels-per-inch (ppi) (equivalent to 254 ⁇ m). Blue subpixels were formed by spin-coating a blue EL polymer over the entire substrate.
- Red and green subpixels were formed by applying the corresponding red and green polymer solution drops into defined areas with a commercial ink-jetter made by MicroFab Technologies, Inc., (Piano, Texas). Jetting green and red polymer solutions (1 :1 ratio of p-xylene:anisole) into the corresponding subpixels produced green and red polymer blend monolayers automatically. This was confirmed by photoluminescence image and PL spectra.
