Organic light-emitting device and method of manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. An organic light-emitting device comprising:
- a first substrate comprising glass;
an array of organic light-emitting pixels formed on the first substrate;
a second substrate comprising glass, the second substrate opposing the first substrate and comprising an interior surface facing the first substrate; and
a substantially transparent vapor deposited desiccant layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, said layer consisting of metal oxide particles of one or more alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, said oxide particles having a particle size from 1 nm to 90 nm, wherein at least part of the layer has a transmittance of 95% or higher with respect to visible light and a refractive index of 1.475 to 1.594, wherein the desiccant layer has a thickness of about 200 nm to about 2,000 nm, wherein the desiccant layer is formed on the array, and wherein the metal oxide comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of sodium oxide (Na2O), potassium oxide (K2O), barium oxide (BaO), calcium oxide (CaO), and magnesium oxide (MgO).

Abstract
An organic light-emitting device including a first substrate with an array of organic light-emitting pixels formed thereon, and a second substrate is disclosed. A transparent moisture absorption layer is disposed between the first and second substrates. The transparent moisture absorption layer efficiently absorbs moisture and/or oxygen, and thus the lifetime characteristics of the organic light-emitting device are improved. The transparent moisture absorption layer has a transmittance of about 85% or higher with respect to visible light. The layer has a thickness of about 10 to about 60,000 nm and a refractive index of about 1.45 to about 1.65 in an inert and/air atmosphere. The layer is formed on the second substrate by using chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition.
