Figure 2 shows the schematic structure of the light extraction enhancement structure due to cracks. In the case of the conventional transparent conductive layer shown in (a) of FIG. 2, the internal light loss reaches 60%, while in the transparent conductive layer containing cracks according to the present invention shown in FIG.

일반적인 제1 투명전도층(20)이 유기발광소자(1000)에 사용되는 경우, 유기발광층(200)에서 발생된 빛은 스넬의 법칙(Snell's law)에 따라 내부 전반사의 영향을 받게 되는데, 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 투광성 기판(100)은 발생된 빛이 상대적으로 고굴절률(1.5 내지 2.5)을 가진 제1 투명전도층(20)을 통과하는 중에 저굴절률(1 내지 1.4)을 가진 균열(21)에 임계각 이상의 각도로 접하는 경우 전반사 되도록 하며, 균열(21)을 통하여 빛이 빠져 나갈 수 있는 경로를 형성하게 함으로써 광 추출 효율을 높일 수 있다. When the general first transparent conductive layer 20 is used for the organic light emitting device 1000, the light generated from the organic light emitting layer 200 is affected by total internal reflection according to Snell's law. The translucent substrate 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a crack having a low refractive index (1 to 1.4) while the generated light passes through the first transparent conductive layer 20 having a relatively high refractive index (1.5 to 2.5). 21) to be totally reflected when contacted at an angle of more than the critical angle, and to increase the light extraction efficiency by forming a path through which the light can escape through the crack (21).

The thickness t of the crack 21 of the first transparent conductive layer 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention is 100 nm or more and 20 μm or less. The thickness t of the crack 21 means the width of the crack space measured in the horizontal direction of the first transparent conductive layer 20. If the thickness t of the crack 21 is less than 100 nm, there is a problem in that the effect of light extraction is inferior, and if it is more than 20 μm, the contact point between the nanowires is reduced, thereby reducing the conductivity. More preferably, they are 100 nm or more and 5 micrometers or less.

The size of the plurality of zones 22 divided by the crack 21 of the first transparent conductive layer 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be measured as the shortest length l, and the first transparent conductive layer The shortest length l of each zone 22 measured in the horizontal direction of 20 is the length of one side of the first transparent conductive layer 20, preferably 100 μm or more and 2 mm or less. If the shortest length (l) is less than 100 μm, there is a problem of deterioration of conductivity due to excessive cracking and driving of the device, and if it exceeds 2 mm, there is a problem of deterioration of light extraction function due to light extraction and cracking.
본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 제1 투명전도층(20)의 균열(21)은 제1 투명전도층(20)의 가장자리(edge) 영역으로 갈수록 분포가 증가하는 형태로 포함될 수 있다. 이로 인하여, 제1 투명전도층(20)은 분획된 구역(22)의 최단 길이(l)가 100 μm 이상, 2 mm 이하인 가장자리 영역을 가질 수 있다. 가장자리 영역은 제1 투명전도층(20)의 둘레나 모서리를 포함하는 측면을 포함하는 영역을 의미한다. 가장자리 영역에 균열(21)이 다수 존재하도록 하는 경우, 투과성 및 전기전도성이 저하되는 것을 방지하면서도 제1 투명전도층(20)의 가장자리 영역으로 빠져 나가는 빛을 막을 수 있어 광 추출 효율을 개선시키는 효과를 갖는다.The crack 21 of the first transparent conductive layer 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be included in a form in which the distribution increases toward the edge region of the first transparent conductive layer 20.

Since the side surface of the first transparent conductive layer 20 has an inclination, the light emitted to the side or absorbed by the inner material is totally reflected when it enters the inclined surface, thereby advancing the light toward the upper side of the substrate, thereby improving light extraction efficiency. It is effective to let.
제1 투명전도층(20) 측면과 기저 폴리머층(50)의 수평면이 이루는 경사 각도는 45°±20°인 것이 바람직하다. 상기 범위 내에서 투명 전도층의 수평면과 평행한 각도로 측면에 입사하는 광에 대하여 전반사가 일어나고, 이로 인한 광추출 효율이 가장 우수한 효과가 있다. It is preferable that the inclination angle between the side surfaces of the first transparent conductive layer 20 and the base polymer layer 50 is 45 ° ± 20 °. Total reflection occurs with respect to the light incident on the side surface at an angle parallel to the horizontal plane of the transparent conductive layer within the above range, thereby resulting in the light extraction efficiency is the most excellent effect.

By maintaining the electrical connection through the nanowire 311 it is possible to maintain the electrical conductivity of the light-transmissive substrate 100.
제2 투명전도층(30)의 도전체(31)로서, 금속 나노와이어(311)는 전기적으로 도전성을 갖는 나노 사이즈의 구조체를 의미한다. 금속 나노와이어의 표면플라즈몬 효과에 의한 표면자기장에 의해 광추출 효율이 향상될 수 있다. 금속 나노와이어 평균직경은 20nm 내지 80nm 이며, 길이는 10㎛ 내지 80 ㎛ 이다. 상기 크기 범위에 미만 하는 경우 전기전도도가 저하되는 문제점이 있고, 초과하는 경우 수율이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. As the conductor 31 of the second transparent conductive layer 30, the metal nanowire 311 refers to a nano-sized structure having electrical conductivity. The light extraction efficiency may be improved by the surface magnetic field due to the surface plasmon effect of the metal nanowires. Metal nanowires have an average diameter of 20 nm to 80 nm and a length of 10 μm to 80 μm. If it is less than the size range there is a problem that the electrical conductivity is lowered, if it is exceeded there is a problem that the yield is lowered.

The metal particles 314 may further include protrusions on an outer surface thereof. The metal particles 314 have a size of 100 to 1000 nm. If it is less than 100nm, there is a problem that the scattering characteristics are lowered, if it exceeds 1000nm there is a problem of transmittance loss. The metal particles 314 are not limited in shape, such as spherical, elliptical, and amorphous, and have protrusions on their outer surfaces. A plurality of particles may overlap each other and be formed in a multilayer. The size of the protrusion provided on the outer surface of the metal particle 314 is 10 to 300nm. If it is less than 10nm there is a problem of light scattering degradation, if it exceeds 300nm there is a problem of transmittance loss.
제2 투명전도층(30)이 금속 입자(314)를 포함하는 경우 금속 입자(314)는 제2 투명전도층(30)의 A 영역에 50% 이상 분포되도록 형성한다. 보다 바람직하게는 제2 투명전도층(30)의 제조 특성에 따라 60% 또는 70% 이상으로 분포하도록 형성하는 것이 좋다.When the second transparent conductive layer 30 includes the metal particles 314, the metal particles 314 are formed to be distributed at least 50% in the A region of the second transparent conductive layer 30.

Silver (Ag) reflects light as a metal and has a low transmittance but reflects light to each other in correspondence with the reflective electrode 300 (for example, aluminum (Al) metal electrode) in the organic light emitting diode 1000. This is because the optical loss inside the device is reduced.
금속 나노와이어, 돌기가 외면에 구비된 금속 입자를 포함하는 제2 투명전도층(30)의 두께는 100nm 내지 10㎛ 이다. 100nm 미만인 경우 전기전도도 저하 문제점이 있고, 10㎛ 초과하는 경우 투과율 손실 문제점이 있다. 금속 나노와이어 및 금속 입자의 표면에 빛이 도달하면 금속 나노와이어 및 금속입자를 통해 빛을 산란시켜 광 추출 효율을 높일 수 있다. 특히 금속 입자는 외면에 돌기를 구비하여 더 넓은 영역대를 가지는 파장의 빛을 산란시킬 수 있다. The thickness of the second transparent conductive layer 30 including metal nanowires and metal particles having protrusions on the outer surface thereof is 100 nm to 10 μm. If it is less than 100nm, there is a problem of lowering the conductivity, and if it exceeds 10㎛, there is a problem of loss of transmittance. When light reaches the surface of the metal nanowires and the metal particles, light may be scattered through the metal nanowires and the metal particles to increase light extraction efficiency. In particular, the metal particles may have projections on the outer surface to scatter light having a wider band.

As the conductor 31 of the second transparent conductive layer 30, the metal mesh pattern 312 is formed of a pattern having various line widths and various cross shapes using metal, and the metal mesh pattern 312 is formed of silver (Ag). ), But may be a layer formed in a pattern orthogonal form using copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), alloys, etc., but is not limited thereto, and various line widths and patterns according to the requirements of the appropriate haze value and permeability of the device used It can be formed as. For example, when the light transmissive substrate is used in an organic light emitting device for illumination, the metal mesh pattern 312 is formed to have a line width of 100 nm to 10 μm to exhibit a haze value of about 30 to 80% and a transmittance of about 70 to 90%. It is preferable.

균열 구조 및 경사 구조의 광추출 시뮬레이션Light extraction simulation of cracked and sloped structures
(1) 균열 구조의 광추출 시뮬레이션(1) Light extraction simulation of crack structure
제1 투명전도층 균열 구조의 광 추출 효율의 개선 효과를 알아보기 위하여 균열에 의해 분획되는 구역에 대응하는 일정한 간격의 마이크로 픽셀(Micro Pixel) 구조를 갖는 유기발광소자에 대한 광추출 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 마이크로 픽셀 효과로 인한 광량 증가는 도 6에 나타낸 것과 같이 총 면적과 발생광량이 같은 마이크로 픽셀 구조로 설정하여 광선광학 시뮬레이션(Light tools)으로 해석하였으며, 길이(l=800, 400, 267, 200, 160, 67, 40nm)에 따른 광 추출 효율 변화를 확인하였다. 마이크로 픽셀의 효과를 명확하게 하기 위하여 도 7에 나타낸 것과 같이 기판 상층부(Top), 기판 측면(Side), 유기발광소자 측면(Guided)으로 나누어 광 추출 효율을 계산하였다.In order to examine the effect of improving the light extraction efficiency of the first transparent conductive layer crack structure, light extraction simulation was performed on the organic light emitting device having the micro pixel structure having a regular interval corresponding to the area fractionated by the crack. . As shown in FIG. 6, the increase in the amount of light due to the micro pixel effect was set to the same micro pixel structure as the total area and the amount of generated light, and analyzed by photo-optic simulation (Light tools), and the length (l = 800, 400, 267, 200, 160, 67, 40nm) was confirmed a change in light extraction efficiency. In order to clarify the effect of the micro pixel, as shown in FIG. 7, light extraction efficiency was calculated by dividing into a substrate top, a substrate side, and an organic light emitting diode side.
시뮬레이션 결과 도 8에 나타낸 것과 같이 균열에 의해 분획되는 구역(마이크로 픽셀)의 최단 길이(l)가 작아짐에 따라 기판의 상부(Top)와 측면(Side)의 추출 광량은 균열에 의해 분획되는 구역의 크기와 무관하게 일정한 추이를 보이나, 측면(Guided)의 추출 광량은 균열에 의해 분획되는 구역의 크기가 작아질수록 증가하는 경향을 보여, 전체(Total) 추출 효율이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있다. As a result of the simulation, as shown in FIG. 8, as the shortest length (l) of the area fractionated by the crack (micropixel) becomes smaller, the amount of extracted light at the top and the side of the substrate is reduced. Although it shows a constant trend regardless of the size, the extraction light amount of the side (Guided) tends to increase as the size of the area fractionated by the crack decreases, indicating that the total extraction efficiency increases.
(2) 경사 구조의 광추출 시뮬레이션(2) Light extraction simulation of inclined structure
제1 투명전도층을 포함하는 유기발광소자의 가장자리에 경사를 갖는 구조의 광 추출 효율의 개선 효과를 알아보기 위하여 도 9에 나타낸 것과 같은 경사 각도가 45°인 유기발광소자에 대한 광 추출 효율을 계산하였다.. The light extraction efficiency of the organic light emitting device having an inclination angle of 45 ° as shown in FIG. 9 is shown to improve the light extraction efficiency of the structure having the inclination at the edge of the organic light emitting device including the first transparent conductive layer. Calculated.
시뮬레이션 결과 유기발광소자의 측면으로 방출되거나 내부 물질로 흡수되어 사라질 빛들이 가장자리의 경사면과 부딪힌 후 전반사를 일으켜 기판의 측면이나 상부 방향으로 진행하여 광 추출 효율이 개선됨을 알 수 있다. The simulation results indicate that the light emitted from the side of the organic light emitting device or absorbed by the internal material disappears after hitting the inclined surface of the edge, causing total reflection to proceed toward the side or the top of the substrate, thereby improving light extraction efficiency.
또한 도 10에 나타낸 것과 같이 균열에 의해 분획되는 구역와 복합된 효과로서, 기판의 상부(Top)와 측면(Side)의 추출 광량이 증가하여 전체(Total) 추출 광량이 대폭 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있다. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, as an effect combined with the region fractionated by the crack, the amount of extracted light from the top and the side of the substrate increases, and thus the total amount of extracted light increases significantly.
