超低效率滚降顶发射白光有机电致发光器件

利用Ag/tris-（8-hydroxyquinoline） aluminum（Alq₃）/Ag/Alq₃/Ag这一金属/有机半导体多层结构作为阳极,实现了超低效率滚降的顶发射白光器件。在该器件中,我们在蓝光和橙光发光单元之间引入一个薄的4,4′-bis（9-carbazolyl）-2,2′-biphenyl（CBP）层,从而减少橙光发光层与蓝光发光层的Dexter能量传递,用以改善白光器件发光光谱及效率。通过优化微腔设计,实现了对橙光磷光材料发射的调控。最终,我们获得了在60 000 cd/m²亮度下效率滚降仅为17%的顶发射白光器件。在效率方面,虽然顶发射白光器件与底发射白光器件不相上下,但由于微腔效应的存在,顶发射白光器件的效率滚降却远低于底发射白光器件的效率滚降。

Angle-stable top-emitting white organic light-emitting devices employing a down-conversion layer

Angle-stable white top-emitting organic light-emitting devices (WTEOLEDs) by the combination of a blue TEOLED with a down-conversion (DC) layer are demonstrated. The DC layer is composed of red fluorescent dye doped in a host of tris (8-hydroxy-quinolinato) aluminum. The TEWOLED shows a CIE coordinates of (0.240, 0.332) and a maximum current efficiency of 3.95 cd/A. Furthermore, the WTEOLED shows excellently angle-stable characteristic, the CIE coordinates at 20 mA/cm² only shift by (0.023, −0.007) from 0° to 60°. It can be attributed to the angle-stable blue TEOLED based on the Ag/Ge/Ag transparent cathode.     

Novel transparent Yb-based cathodes for top-emitting organic light emitting devices with high performance

We have studied three kinds of transparent low-work-function Yb-based cathodes for the top-emitting organic light emitting devices (TEOLEDs) with a structure of ITO/NPB/Alq₃/cathodes and compared them with each other. For the Yb/Au cathodes, a series of Yb layers with various thicknesses have been tested and it is found that the Yb layer with a thickness of 4 nm is the optimum one. The Yb:Au (19 nm) and Yb:Ag (19 nm) co-evaporation cathodes possess very high transmittance but relative poor electron injection; whilst the Yb (4 nm)/Au (15 nm) cathode possess a little lower transmittance but much improved electron injection and the TEOLED with this cathode has the highest power efficiency among the TEOLEDs with the three kinds of Yb-based cathodes mentioned above.

High color rendering index white organic light-emitting diode using levofloxacin as blue emitter

Levofloxacin(LOFX), which is well-known as an antibiotic medicament, was shown to be useful as a 452-nm blue emitter for white organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs). In this paper, the fabricated white OLED contains a 452-nm blue emitting layer(thickness of 30 nm) with 1 wt% LOFX doped in CBP(4,4'-bis(carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl) host and a584-nm orange emitting layer(thickness of 10 nm) with 0.8 wt% DCJTB(4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-tert-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidin-4-yl-vinyl)-4H-pyran) doped in CBP, which are separated by a 20-nm-thick buffer layer of TPBi(2,2',2"-(benzene-1,3,5-triyl)-tri(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole). A high color rendering index(CRI) of 84.5 and CIE chromaticity coordinates of(0.33, 0.32), which is close to ideal white emission CIE(0.333, 0.333), are obtained at a bias voltage of 14 V. Taking into account that LOFX is less expensive and the synthesis and purification technologies of LOFX are mature, these results indicate that blue fluorescence emitting LOFX is useful for applications to white OLEDs although the maximum current efficiency and luminance are not high. The present paper is expected to become a milestone to using medical drug materials for OLEDs.

Inverted top-emission organic light emitting devices (TEOLEDs) with a mixed single layer by mixing of electron transport materials (PyPySPyPy and Alq₃), hole transport material (α-NPD) and dope material (rubrene) were investigated. Maximum power efficiency of 3.5 lm/W and maximum luminance of 7000 cd/m² were obtained by optimizing the mixing ratio of PyPySPyPy:Alq₃:α-NPD:rubrene=25:50:25:1. Luminance and power efficiency of mixed single layer device were two times improved compared to bi-layer heterojunction device and tri-layer heterojunction device. Lifetime test also shows that the mixed single layer device exhibits longer operational lifetimes of 343 h, which is three times longer than the 109 h for tri-layer device, and two times longer than the 158 h for bi-layer device. In addition, the maximum luminance and power efficiency were obtained at 20,000 cd/m² and 7.5 lm/W, respectively, when a TPD layer of 45 nm was capped onto the top metal electrode.

Efficient Top-Emitting Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes Using Chromium as Anode

We demonstrate a high eftlciency top-emitting polymer light-emitting diode （TPLED） with chromium （Cr） taking as the anode. The TPLED structure is Cr/poly-3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene （PEDOT：PSS）/poly [2-（4-3＇,7＇- dimethyloctyloxy）-phenyl]-p-phenylenevinylene） （P-PP V） /Ba/Ag. The Cr （ 100 nm） anode is prepared by sputterdepositing in a vacuum chamber. It is found that the device emissive properties are affected dramatically by the thickness of both PEDOT：PSS and the Ag cathode. Optimized thicknesses of PEDOT：PSS and Ag layer are 60nm and 15nm, respectively. The diode exhibits excellent electroluminescence （EL） properties, such as a turn-on voltage of 3.32 V, luminous eftlciency of 4.41 cd/A and luminance of 6989cd/m^2 at driving voltage of about 9 V.     

The effect of Ag layer thickness on the properties of WO3/Ag/MoO3 multilayer films as anode in organic light emitting diodes

Transparent conductive WO₃/Ag/MoO₃ (WAM) multilayer electrodes were fabricated by thermal evaporation and the effects of Ag layer thickness on the optoelectronic and structural properties of multilayer electrode as anode in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were investigated using different analytical methods. For Ag layers with thickness varying between 5 and 20 nm, the best WAM performances, high optical transmittance (81.7%, at around 550 nm), and low electrical sheet resistance (9.75 Ω/cm²) were obtained for 15 nm thickness. Also, the WAM structure with 15 nm of Ag layer thickness has a very smooth surface with an RMS roughness of 0.37 nm, which is suitable for use as transparent conductive anode in OLEDs. The current density?voltage?luminance (J?V?L) characteristics measurement shows that the current density of WAM/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/Alq₃/LiF/Al organic diode increases with the increase in thickness of Ag and WO₃/Ag (15 nm)/MoO₃ device exhibits a higher luminance intensity at lower voltage than ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/Alq₃/LiF/Al control device. Furthermore, this device shows the highest power efficiency (0.31 lm/W) and current efficiency (1.2 cd/A) at the current density of 20 mA/cm², which is improved 58% and 41% compared with those of the ITO-based device, respectively. The lifetime of the WO₃/Ag (15 nm)/MoO₃ device was measured to be 50 h at an initial luminance of 50 cd/m², which is five times longer than 10 h for ITO-based device.     

硅片上顶发射的有机电致发光器件

为了更好地实现有机发光器件在硅片上的有源矩阵显示,有必要探讨在硅片上直接制作透明阴极的顶发射有机发光器件。在顶发射发光器件中,为了到达高的发光效率,底部阳极一般采用高反射率的金属。在通常所用的各种金属当中,金属银对可见光具有很高的反射率,然而由于其具有相当低的功函数,导致与有机材料间能级的不匹配,从而引起有机发光器件中阳极空穴注入的不理想而影响器件的性能。我们在硅片上制备顶发射的有机发光器件,用薄层QAD(quinacridone)作为发光层,表面修饰的银作为阳极,制备的有机发光器件的亮度在外加电压10V时达到13700cd／m^2,器件的最大电流效率在7V时达到4．3cd／A,是没有薄层QAD器件的2倍多,是由在器件中存在Alq3与QAD之间Foester能量转移机制引起的。

Surface modification of indium tin oxide anode with self-assembled monolayer modified Ag film for improved OLED device characteristics

Modification of electrodes has attracted much attention in the study of organic semiconductor devices. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 4-fluorothiophenol is employed to modify the Ag film on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) to improve the hole injection and the surface morphology. The modified anode was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscope (AFM), and UV–vis transmittance spectra. To investigate the effect of the modification on the device characteristics, typical double layer devices with the structure of anode/-naphthylphenylbiphenyl diamine (NPB, 60 nm)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃, 60 nm)/LiF(0.7 nm)/Al(100 nm) were fabricated using the modified anode and the bare ITO. The effect of Ag layer thickness on the device performance is also investigated. The results revealed that SAM modified ultra-thin Ag film is an effective buffer layer for organic light emitting diode. The device using the ITO/Ag (5 nm)/SAM as anode show improved device characteristics than that of using bare ITO as anode. The enhancements in luminance and efficiency are attributed to enhanced hole injection and smooth surface between anode and the organic material. The Ag thickness of 5 nm is chosen as an acceptable compromise between substrate transparency and the device performance.
