A method of manufacturing a light emitting element is also provided.
Claims16
A light emitting element comprising:
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode overlapping the first electrode;
- an emission layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;
- and
- an electron transport region disposed between the emission layer and the second electrode, wherein the electron transport region comprises a thermal acid generator (TAG) and inorganic nanoparticles,
- wherein the TAG generates H+ upon thermal treatment, and wherein the H+ is adsorbed on the inorganic nanoparticles, and
- wherein the inorganic nanoparticles comprise zinc oxide (ZnO).
A method of manufacturing a light emitting element, comprising:
- forming a first electrode;
- forming an emission layer on the first electrode;
- forming an electron transport region on the emission layer;
- and
- forming a second electrode on the electron transport region, wherein
- the forming of the electron transport region comprises:
- applying a solution including inorganic nanoparticles and a thermal acid generator (TAG);
- and
- curing the solution,
- wherein the TAG generates H+ upon thermal treatment, and wherein the H+ is adsorbed on the inorganic nanoparticles,
- wherein in the curing of the solution, the TAG generates H+,
- wherein the H+ generated in the curing separates a branch part adsorbed on the inorganic nanoparticle.
