Abstract
A method of making an electroluminescent device having a substrate, and at least one dopant receiving layer containing a host material which when doped provides an emissive layer, includes providing at least one dopant layer having a dopant disposed over or under the dopant receiving layer; providing an anode and a cathode so that the dopant receiving layer and the dopant layer are disposed between such anode and cathode; and heating the electroluminescent device to cause the dopant to diffuse from the dopant layer into the dopant receiving layer and forming the emissive layer having uniformly dispersed dopant in the host material.
Claims7
A method of making an electroluminescent device having a substrate, and at least one dopant receiving layer containing a host material which when doped provides an emissive layer, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing at least one dopant layer having a dopant disposed over or under the dopant receiving layer;
- (b) providing an anode and a cathode so that the dopant receiving layer and the dopant layer are disposed between such anode and cathode;
- and
- (c) heating the electroluminescent device to cause the dopant to diffuse from the dopant layer into the dopant receiving layer and forming the emissive layer having uniformly dispersed dopant in the host material.
A method of making an electroluminescent device having a substrate, and at least one dopant receiving layer containing a host material which when doped provides an emissive layer, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing at least one dopant layer having a dopant disposed over or under the dopant receiving layer;
- (b) providing an anode and a cathode so that the dopant receiving layer and the dopant layer are disposed between such anode and cathode;
- and
- (c) heating the structure formed by steps (a)-(b) at a temperature and time sufficient to cause dopant to diffuse from the dopant layer into the dopant receiving layer to form the emissive layer so that when an electrical potential is applied between the anode and cathode light will be emitted from the emissive layer.
