Abstract
An emissive layer deposited in graded manner using a plurality of nozzles is disclosed. A mixtures ejected from the plurality of nozzles may contain varying concentrations of host-to-dopant material. The nozzles, as disclosed, may be arranged in a sequential manner such that the order of the sequence is based on varying concentration of the host-to-dopant material. The nozzles may be configured to translate relative to an area of a substrate to allow sequential deposition.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- depositing a plurality of mixtures over a first region of a substrate, each mixture comprising a carrier gas, an organic emissive first material and a host second material;
- wherein each mixture comprises a different ratio of the organic emissive first material to the host second material, and
- wherein the plurality of mixtures are deposited so as to form graded layers, and the ratio of the organic emissive first material to the host second material varies from one layer to another.
A device fabricated according to the method recited in 10, wherein the device is selected from a group consisting of a flat panel display, a computer monitor, a medical monitor, a television, a billboard, a light for interior or exterior illumination and/or signaling, a heads up display, a fully transparent display, a flexible display, a laser printer, a telephone, a cell phone, a personal digital assistant, a laptop computer, a digital camera, a camcorder, a viewfinder, a micro-display, a vehicle, a large area wall, a theater or stadium screen, and a sign.
A method comprising:
- depositing a first electrode over a substrate;
- ejecting a first mixture comprising an organic emissive first material, a host second material, and a carrier gas from a first nozzle towards the first electrode;
- depositing a second mixture comprising the organic emissive first material, the host second material, and a carrier gas from a second nozzle over the organic emissive first material, the second mixture having a different concentration of the organic emissive material than the first mixture, wherein the first and second mixtures are deposited so as to form graded layers, and the ratio of the organic emissive first material to the host second material varies from one layer to another;
- and
- depositing a second electrode over the organic emissive first material.
