FIG. 2 is a schematic planar structural view illustrating connection of a plurality of pixels according to the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic structural view of a transparent OLED device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand and practice the present invention, the present invention will be further described hereinafter in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the embodiments exemplified hereinafter are not intended to limit the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, a transparent OLED device includes a plurality of pixels. The size of each pixel is not limited. However, generally, the size of a pixel should be less than the minimum resolution of human eyes having a corresponding distance from the screen. Each pixel includes an organic functional layer 5. The organic functional layer 5, which is the same as an organic functional layer in the existing technique, includes a hole injection layer, an organic light-emitting layer, an electron injection layer and the like, and will not be described repeatedly here. A first transparent electrode 4 and a second transparent electrode 6 are disposed on both sides of the organic functional layer 5 respectively, wherein a substrate 1 is on the outer side of the first transparent electrode 4. A reflective electrode 2 is disposed on one side of the organic functional layer 5, and the area of the reflective electrode 2 is less than that of the organic functional layer 5. In this embodiment, the reflective electrode 2 is located between the first transparent electrode 4 and the organic functional layer 5, and an insulating layer 3 is disposed between the reflective electrode 2 and the first transparent electrode 4 in order to prevent a short circuit between the two.
When the transparent OLED device of the present invention is in use, by powering on the reflective electrode 2 and the second transparent electrode 6, the transparent OLED device may be controlled to emit light towards the second transparent electrode 6; and by powering on the first transparent electrode 4 and the second transparent electrode 6, the double-sided light-emitting or display of the transparent OLED device may be achieved. In addition, if the reflective electrode 2, the first transparent electrode 4 and the second transparent electrode 6 are powered on simultaneously, but are subjected to a different current or voltage, it is possible to adjust the double-sided light-emitting luminance. In addition, by setting the color of an organic functional layer corresponding to the reflective electrode 2 in a different color from that of an organic functional layer corresponding to the first transparent electrode 4, the display color may be adjusted by the reflective electrode 2.
In the present invention, the area of the reflective electrode is preferably 10% to 50% of the area of the organic functional layer. The effect of adjustment will not be significant when the area of the reflective electrode is too small, while the transparency of the OLED device will be influenced when the area of the reflective electrode is too large.
Manufacture of the transparent OLED device of this embodiment includes the following steps:
preparing a first transparent electrode 4 on a transparent substrate 1;
preparing a reflective electrode layer on the first transparent electrode 4;
etching a portion of the reflective electrode layer by processes such as coating, exposing, developing and etching, with the remaining portion forming a reflective electrode 2;
etching an edge of the reflective electrode 2, such that a portion of the reflective electrode 2 connected to the first transparent electrode 4 is disconnected;
filling the part where the reflective electrode 2 is disconnected from the first transparent electrode 4 with an insulating material to form an insulating layer 3;
evaporating an organic functional layer 5 over the first transparent electrode 4 and the reflective electrode 2; and
preparing a second transparent electrode 6 over the organic functional layer 5 to obtain a transparent OLED device of this embodiment.
Nevertheless, what is described above is only a preferred scheme for manufacturing a transparent OLED device of this embodiment, and the actual manufacturing process is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, since the reflective electrode 2 is disposed between the first transparent electrode 4 and the second transparent electrode 6, to connect the reflective electrode 2 of each pixel to the power supply, the reflective electrodes 2 between adjacent pixels in one direction may be electrically connected, and the serially-connected reflective electrodes 2 are led out from pixels at both ends and connected to the power supply. As in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the reflective electrodes 2 between pixels of each row in the longitudinal direction, i.e., in a same row, are connected in series, and are led out from pixels at both extreme ends to form a reflective lead-out electrode 7, and the reflective lead-out electrode 7 is connected to an external power supply to supply power to the reflective electrode 2. Since the area of the first transparent electrode 4 in this embodiment completely covers the organic functional layer 5 of a pixel, the first transparent electrodes 4 between pixels in a same row may be connected in series and then led out from both ends to form a first transparent lead-out electrode 8 in the same manner as the reflective electrode; or, the first transparent electrodes 4 of all pixels may be electrically connected and then led out from the surrounding.
As in another embodiment of the transparent OLED device of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the reflective electrode 2 is located on a same side as the first transparent electrode 4, and is disposed in parallel to the first transparent electrode 4. To prevent a short circuit between the reflective electrode 2 and the first transparent electrode 4, a slit 9 may be formed between the reflective electrode 2 and the first transparent electrode 4. Further preferably, an insulating material may be filled in the slit 9 to enhance the insulating property. However, the second transparent electrode 6 in this embodiment is divided into two portions, with one portion being disposed opposite to the reflective electrode 2 and the other portion being disposed opposite to the first transparent electrode 4. To achieve the insulating effect, a slit is also formed between the two portions of the second transparent electrode 6. Furthermore, insulating material may be also filled in the slit. Of course, in other embodiments, the second transparent electrode 6 may be an entirety which completely covers the organic functional layer 5.
In the above-mentioned embodiments, the first transparent electrode 4 and the second transparent electrode 6 are a cathode and an anode of an OLED device respectively, and may be exchangeable in position. That is, the first transparent electrode 4 may be an anode and the second transparent electrode 6 may be a cathode; or, the first transparent electrode 4 may be a cathode and the second transparent electrode 6 may be an anode, without imposing any influence on the implementation of the present invention. The average light transmittance of the first transparent electrode 4 at a visible wavelength is 5% to 95%; and the average light transmittance of the second transparent electrode at a visible wavelength is 5% to 95%. When the average light transmittance of the second transparent electrode 6 at a visible wavelength is 5% to 50%, a large portion of light emitted by the OLED device is output from the side of the first transparent electrode 4, and a small portion thereof is output from the side of the second transparent electrode 6, thereby forming a double-sided display. Light emitted by the OLED device may be output from both sides, thereby forming a transparent OLED device.
The aforementioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments merely used for describing the present invention in detail, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. For a person skilled in the art, various replacements or improvements may be made on the basis of the present invention, and those replacements or improvements shall be regarded as falling into the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is subject to the appended claims.
