Description

Phosphor substrate, light emitting element, and display device using the same

The present invention relates to a phosphor substrate, a light emitting element, and a display device using the same.

In recent years, the need for flat panel displays has increased with the advancement of information technology. Non-self-luminous liquid crystal displays (LCD), self-luminous plasma displays (PDP), inorganic electroluminescent (inorganic EL) displays, organic electroluminescent (organic EL) displays, etc. are known as flat panel displays. It has been. Among these flat panel displays, the organic EL display has attracted particular attention in terms of self-luminescence.

In the organic EL display, conventionally, a colorization method in which light emitting layers corresponding to red, green, and blue are used for pixels of respective colors by separately coating the organic light emitting layer by a mask vapor deposition method using a shadow mask. It has been.

However, the above-described conventional methods have problems such as mask processing accuracy, mask alignment accuracy, and mask enlargement, and in particular, mask enlargement is a major issue. That is, in the field of large displays typified by TVs, the substrate sizes are increasing from G6 to G8, G10, and in order to perform the above method, the substrate size is increased to be equal to or larger than such a substrate size. It is necessary to prepare and process a mask. However, since the mask is made of a very thin metal (general film thickness: 50 to 100 nm), it is very difficult to manufacture and process a large-sized mask.

Also, when the mask processing accuracy and the mask alignment accuracy are lowered, there is a risk of color mixing due to mixing of the light emitting layers. In order to prevent this color mixture, it is usually necessary to increase the width of the insulating layer provided between the pixels. However, when the area of the pixel is determined, the area of the light emitting portion is reduced, that is, the aperture ratio of the pixel. Leading to a decrease in brightness, an increase in power consumption, and a decrease in lifespan.

Moreover, in the above conventional method, an evaporation source is arranged on the lower side of the substrate, and an organic layer is formed by evaporating an organic material from the bottom upward. As a result, there is a high risk that the mask will bend in the center. When such bending occurs, it causes the above-mentioned color mixture, and in an extreme case, a portion where the organic layer is not formed is formed, resulting in a defect due to leakage of the upper and lower electrodes.

In the conventional method, the mask becomes unusable due to deterioration after a specific number of times of use. Therefore, when the mask becomes large, it leads to a problem of cost increase when manufacturing the display. In the organic EL display, the cost problem is regarded as the biggest problem.

Therefore, as a colorization method for solving the above-described problem, a fluorescence conversion method using a color conversion layer that absorbs light emitted from an organic EL and emits light of different wavelengths has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). . This method does not require patterning of the organic layer as compared with the conventional coating method, can simplify the manufacturing process, and is superior in cost.

By the way, with regard to organic EL, many studies have been made so far with a focus on improving luminous efficiency. As one of the methods, an organic EL element having a microcavity (optical microresonator) structure has been proposed (see, for example,

Patent Documents

2, 3, and 4). In an organic EL element to which a microresonance structure is applied, light generated from the light emitting layer is repeatedly reflected between the reflective electrode and the semi-reflective electrode, so that only light having the same wavelength is emitted from the semi-reflective electrode side. Thereby, the intensity | strength of a specific wavelength can be strengthened and directivity can be given to emitted light (refer FIG. 5).

In addition, the above-mentioned Patent Documents 2 to 4 disclose a technique in which an organic EL element having a microresonator structure and the above-described color conversion layer are combined. In this technology, from the viewpoint of luminous efficiency, element lifetime, and the like, blue pixels emit blue light from organic EL elements having a microresonator structure, and green and red pixels emit from the organic EL elements. The blue light emission is converted into fluorescence in each color conversion layer, and the resulting converted light is emitted.

However, light emission (blue light) emitted from the organic EL element having a microresonator structure has a relatively strong directivity. On the other hand, the radiation direction of the converted light (red light and green light) emitted from the color conversion layer is isotropic. For this reason, the viewing angle dependency of light emission differs between the blue pixel, the red pixel, and the green pixel. For example, as the viewing angle increases, the luminance of blue drastically decreases compared to the luminance of red and green, so that there is a problem that the color purity differs when viewed from the front and obliquely. (See FIG. 6). This is a fatal problem for a flat panel display.

As a method for solving this problem, a technique disclosed in Patent Document 5 has been proposed. In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 5, in the organic EL element, the pair of light reflection layers adjust the microresonator structure in accordance with the wavelength of the converted light of the color conversion layer. For this reason, in each pixel, the microresonator structure can be adjusted according to the wavelength of each color, and the color purity according to the viewing angle can be adjusted between the colors.

However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 5, no consideration is given to enhancing excitation light for exciting the color conversion layer, and the efficiency of fluorescence conversion in the color conversion layer is described in Patent Documents 2 to Compared to 4, it is decreasing. That is, according to the technique disclosed in Patent Document 5, the object of improving the light emission efficiency of the organic EL element cannot be sufficiently achieved.

Furthermore, when a top emission type device having a higher aperture ratio and superior power consumption than the bottom emission type is to be manufactured using the technique disclosed in Patent Document 5, the color conversion layer is patterned due to its structure. In addition, a wet process such as photolithography cannot be used. That is, the patterning of the color conversion layer requires separate deposition using a shadow mask, so that the simplicity of the manufacturing process by the fluorescence conversion method is lost, and the cost advantage is lost.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has as its object to provide a phosphor substrate capable of easily producing a light emitting device with improved luminous efficiency, and a light emitting device with improved luminous efficiency and It is to provide a display device.

Here, the phosphor substrate according to the present invention can be used for manufacturing a light emitting device. Specifically, a light-emitting element can be easily produced by combining the phosphor substrate according to the present invention with an external light source such as an electroluminescence (EL) element.

Also, the phosphor substrate according to the present invention can be easily combined with an EL element constituting a microresonator structure.

A process can be used. Therefore, a display device can be easily manufactured by using the phosphor substrate according to the present invention. It is also possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.

In the above configuration, the pair of reflective films constitute a microresonator without sandwiching the EL layer therebetween. For this reason, a pair of electrodes can constitute a microresonator structure for the EL layer. Moreover, the light extraction efficiency of the converted light emitted from the color conversion layer is improved by the microresonator structure formed by the pair of reflective films.

Therefore, according to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a light emitting element with improved luminous efficiency.

Further, when a display device is manufactured using a light emitting element having the above-described structure, a wet process such as photolithography is used to pattern the color conversion layer even when a top emission type device is manufactured. It is possible to use. Therefore, a display device can be easily manufactured by using the light emitting element according to the present invention. It is also possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.

In order to solve the above problems, a display device according to the present invention is a display device in which a plurality of light emitting elements including light emitting elements of different colors are arranged in an array, and each of the plurality of light emitting elements includes: It is characterized by comprising any one of the light-emitting elements described above.
