电极修饰层PEO/LiF对聚合物发光二极管发光性能的提高

在以聚合物发光材料poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene)(MEH-PPV)为发光层的聚合物发光二极管(PLEDs)的金属阴极与聚合物发光层之间插入一层绝缘的聚合物poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO),发光器件的发光性能有所提高,尤其是PEO/LiF共同对Al电极修饰时发光器件的开启电压、发光强度、电流效率等性能显著提高。初步分析表明修饰层的插入造成了发光聚合物层与金属电极界面形成势垒,通过空穴堆积抑制空穴的注入,增加电子的注入,并且PEO层可以有效抑制激子在阴极的猝灭。     

新型共轭聚合物PFO-BT15发光二极管的电老化研究

PFO-BT15是一种电致发光中心波长为550 nm的新型共轭高分子聚合物材料,将其制成发光二极管器件,结构为ITO玻璃/聚合物PEDOT(120 nm)/有机聚合物PFO-BT15(80 nm)/Ba(4 nm)/Al(200 nm),用环氧树脂对阴极侧进行了封装,以减少氧气和水分的进入,从而影响器件的发光性能。在室温环境下对同样的器件进行不同电流密度的电老化处理,记录器件的电流电压曲线,再对老化的样品做电致发光和喇曼光谱测试。实验发现：一方面,通过器件恒定电流的大小影响器件的电压变化速度;另一方面,器件经过一定长时间的电老化,电致发光中心波长变化较小。通过啦曼光谱的测试,推断是因为PEDOT阳极的破损导致了器件的最终发光失败,而器件发光层材料的结构保持相对稳定,说明这种结构的聚合物有着相对稳定的光电性能,对于提高材料发光的稳定性提供了有价值的信息,有助于其他高效发光材料的合成以及稳定性的提高。     

紫外转化的PPV薄膜电致发光性质的研究

PPV是一种常用的高荧光效率的黄绿色的电致发光共轭聚合物,因为PPV不易溶解于有机溶剂,所以在有机电致发光(OLEDs)中PPV薄膜的制备通常是PPV的预聚体旋涂成膜,然后在高温、真空条件下转化成PPV薄膜。这种高温转化制膜的方法无法对其进行掺杂,限制了PPV在OLED中的应用。文章利用紫外光照射,PPV预聚体薄膜在室温和真空条件下转化成PPV薄膜,它与热处理得到的PPV薄膜的光致发光(PL)和拉曼(Raman)光谱一致;利用这种方法制备了非掺杂和红色荧光染料掺杂的有机电致发光器件,实现了以PPV为主体和能量给体的不同染料的掺杂发光,并获得绿色和橙色的电致发光。电致发光器件的发光效率和发光强度还有待进一步提高。

金属氟化物对聚合物发光二极管发光性能的提高

在以聚合物发光材料MEH-PPV为发光层的聚合物发光二极管(PLEDs)的金属阴极与聚合物发光层之间插入一层绝缘的金属氟化物,发光器件的发光性能有所提高,而且绝缘层的厚度会影响器件性能提高的最终效果。特别是具有LiF／Al的双层电极的发光器件,其发光特性与工作性能优良,但稳定性较差的Ba(Ca)／Al电极结构器件的发光特性具有可比性。初步分析表明绝缘层的插入造成了发光聚合物层与金属电极界面的能带发生弯曲,降低了发光器件中少数载流子电子的注入势垒,提高了发光器件中少数载流子电子的注入效率。从而最终导致了发光器件的开启电压、发光强度、外量子效率及电流效率等发光性能指标的显著提高。

Study of the interface formed between poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxyl)-p-phenylene vinylene) and indium tin oxide in top emission organic light emitting diodes

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique have been used to investigate the interface formed between poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxyl)-p-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) and indium tin oxide (ITO) layer in top emission organic light emitting diodes. A weak but noticeable diffusion of indium into the polymer film was observed. Interactions between the diffused metallic atoms with the polymer resulted in the formation of carbon-metal complexes at the interface region. Compared to the ITO/MEH-PPV interface, the penetration of indium into the polymer layer was less important and may be explained by the surface morphology of the polymer film. It was however, a probable factor for fast degradation of devices using this structure.     

A simple encapsulation method for organic optoelectronic devices

The performances of organic optoelectronic devices, such as organic light emitting diodes and polymer solar cells,have rapidly improved in the past decade. The stability of an organic optoelectronic device has become a key problem for further development. In this paper, we report one simple encapsulation method for organic optoelectronic devices with a parafilm, based on ternary polymer solar cells(PSCs). The power conversion efficiencies(PCE) of PSCs with and without encapsulation decrease from 2.93% to 2.17% and from 2.87% to 1.16% after 168-hours of degradation under an ambient environment, respectively. The stability of PSCs could be enhanced by encapsulation with a parafilm. The encapsulation method is a competitive choice for organic optoelectronic devices, owing to its low cost and compatibility with flexible devices.

Spirobifluorene derivative, which is useful for obtaining small molecule or polymer blue light emitting materials, has been prepared. To improve the solubility of final materials, long alkoxy side chains were introduced to spirobifluorene moiety. Coupling reaction with biphenyl led to small molecule blue light emitting material. A polymer blue light emitting material was obtained through Ni(0) mediated polymerization. Using vacuum deposition and spin coating methods, small molecule and polymer light emitting devices were fabricated and their device characteristics were investigated. In this paper, the detailed preparation methods of small molecule and polymer materials, and the device characteristics will be discussed.     

UV exposure and photon degradation of Alq3 powders

Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq₃) is a widely used light emitting material. It is also used as an electron transporting layer in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). Degradation is, however, a major problem in these devices. The device performance is affected by parameters such as air, moisture and light exposure [1,2]. In this work the effect of photon degradation of Alq₃ in air is investigated. Alq₃ phosphor powder was synthesized using a co-precipitation method and recrystalized in acetone. The structure of the sample was determined by using x-ray diffraction (XRD). The averaging particle size estimated from the broadened XRD peaks using Scherrer's equation was 40±4 nm in diameter. The excitation photoluminescence data that was collected correspond well to the absorption data. To study the photon degradation, the sample was irradiated with an UV lamp for ∼330h. The emission data was collected and the change in photoluminescence intensity with time was monitored.     

聚合物级联发光器件

基于溶液加工方法制备了聚乙撑二氧噻吩-聚(苯乙烯磺酸盐)(PEDOT∶PSS)/氧化锌(ZnO)/乙氧基化聚乙烯亚胺(PEIE)电荷产生层的聚合物级联发光器件, 发现PEDOT∶PSS层电导和厚度对器件的电流-电压特性影响较小, 不同PEDOT∶PSS对器件发光效率的影响主要来自于其对发光层激子不同的猝灭作用, PEDOT∶PSS厚度为60 nm的级联器件比PEDOT∶PSS 厚度为30 nm的级联器件的发光效率稍高, 原因是PEDOT∶PSS较厚时, 其表面形貌更均匀。级联器件的发光效率和驱动电压分别与发光子单元的发光效率和驱动电压之和相近, 说明在较低的电压下电荷产生层就能够有效产生电荷并注入到发光子单元中,级联器件的发光光谱中包含两个发光子单元的发光光谱,说明两个发光子单元在级联器件中都能正常工作。通过对电荷产生层的电容-电压(C-V)特性的测试, 确认了在电荷产生层中存在电荷的积累过程。证明了PEDOT∶PSS/ZnO/PEIE为有效的电荷产生层。首次报道了包含三个SY-PPV发光单元的级联器件, 三个发光子单元发光效率之和与级联器件的发光效率相当, 其最大发光效率和最大外量子效率分别为21.7 cd·A-1和6.95%。在器件亮度为5 000 cd·m-2时, 器件的发光效率和外量子效率分别为20.5 cd·A-1和6.6%。说明并没有由于发光子单元数目增加而影响级联器件的发光效率。并且其发光光谱和发光子单元的发光光谱相接近。通过 进一步降低CGL中空穴注入层对级联器件的影响有望提高级联器件的发光效率。     

Effect of the polymer emission on the electroluminescence characteristics of n-ZnO nanorods/p-polymer hybrid light emitting diode

Hybrid light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods and polymers (single and blended) were fabricated and characterized. The ZnO nanorods were grown by the chemical bath deposition method at 50°C. Three different LEDs, with blue emitting, orange-red emitting or their blended polymer together with ZnO nanorods, were fabricated and studied. The current–voltage characteristics show good diode behavior with an ideality factor in the range of 2.1 to 2.27 for all three devices. The electroluminescence spectrum (EL) of the blended device has an emission range from 450 nm to 750 nm, due to the intermixing of the blue emission generated by poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) denoted as PFO with orange-red emission produced by poly(2-methoxy-5(20-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) 1,4-phenylenevinylene) symbolized as MEH PPV combined with the deep-band emission (DBE) of the ZnO nanorods, i.e. it covers the whole visible region and is manifested as white light. The CIE color coordinates showed bluish, orange-red and white emission from the PFO, MEH PPV and blended LEDs with ZnO nanorods, respectively. These results indicate that the choice of the polymer with proper concentration is critical to the emitted color in ZnO nanorods/p-organic polymer LEDs and careful design should be considered to obtain intrinsic white light sources.     

Chemical Analysis of Patterned Mask Cleaning in Organic Light Emitting Diode Fabrication with Raman Spectroscopy

Abstract

Despite the continually improving efficiency of the fabrication process used to manufacture the organic light emitting diode (OLED) emitter layer, which uses a shadow mask, a method for the cleaning and recycling of the shadow mask is still lacking. One of the main reasons for this is the absence of a quantitative/qualitative method to analyze the cleaning solution using simple in situ measurements. Recently, Raman analysis has become popular because of its convenience, ease of use, and suitability for in situ measurements. Thus, Raman spectroscopy has the capacity to analyze the solution used for cleaning shadow masks. A particular advantage of this approach is that it can detect organic contaminants in the cleaning solution, which are caused by the residue that remains on the shadow mask after the OLED emitter layer fabrication process. Raman spectroscopy has an advantage for analyzing solution condition and contaminant detection between the cleaning solution and organic chemical by using the Raman peak and fluorescence integration method.
