Abstract

A white organic light emitting device (OLED) includes a pair of independent electrodes, a common electrode positioned between the independent electrodes, and a pair of white emission units respectively positioned at both sides of the common electrode in a mirror symmetry and emitting white light.

Claims

1. A white organic light emitting device, comprising:

a pair of independent electrodes;

a common electrode disposed between the pair of independent electrodes; and

a pair of white emission units respectively disposed at both sides of the common electrode in a mirror symmetry based on the common electrode, and the pair of white emission units emitting white lights.

2. The device of claim 1, in which one of the pair of independent electrodes is one selected from a transparent electrode and a semitransparent electrode, and the other one thereof is a reflective electrode.

3. The device of claim 1, in which the pair of independent electrodes are connected to each other in the state where a resistor is disposed therebetween with the resistor being electrically connected to both of the pair of independent electrodes.

4. The device of claim 1, in which the common electrode is one selected from a transparent electrode and a semitransparent electrode.

5. The device of claim 1, in which each of the white emission units comprises red, green, and blue emission layers.

6. The device of claim 5, in which each of the white emission units further comprises at least one of a HIL (hole injection layer), a HTL (hole transport layer), an EIL (electron injection layer), an ETL (electron transport layer), a HSL (hole suppression layer), and an ESL (electron suppression layer).

7. A white organic light emitting device, comprising:

a common electrode;

a pair of independent electrodes respectively disposed at both sides of the common electrode in a mirror symmetry based on the common electrode, with the pair of independent electrodes being outer layers of the white organic light emitting device and being physically contacted to an exterior of the white organic light emitting device; and

a pair of white emission units respectively disposed at both sides of the common electrode in the mirror symmetry based on the common electrode, with the pair of white emission units emitting white lights.
