有机发光材料的电化学稳定性及其对器件稳定性的影响

有机发光器件（OLED）在平板显示和固体照明领域有着广阔的应用前景.过去的二十多年来,OLED的效率得到了大幅提升,但是器件的稳定性仍有待提高.在OLED器件中,通常认为载流子的传输涉及分子反复的氧化还原.因此,OLED材料的电化学性质是影响器件稳定性的重要因素.本文总结了近年来有关OLED材料电化学性质的研究进展,并重点探讨了材料的电化学稳定性与器件稳定性之间的关系.总结发现：（1）单极性材料的电化学不稳定性是导致器件衰减的本质原因之一;（2）双极性材料高度的电化学稳定性有助于提高器件的稳定性,但并不一定保证器件具有高稳定性;（3）有关材料分子结构的稳定性对器件稳定性的影响以及器件的本征衰变机制还有待深入研究.相信,对OLED发光材料稳定性和器件衰变机制的深入研究将有助于提高其他有机光电材料和器件的稳定性,从而推动有机电子学和相关产业的发展.

Highly Twisted Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) Molecules and Their Applications in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have attracted great potential in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Among thousands of TADF materials, highly twisted TADF emitters have become a hotspot in recent years. Compared with traditional TADF materials, highly twisted TADF emitters tend to show multi-channel charge-transfer characters and form rigid molecular structures. This is advantageous for TADF materials, as non-radiative decay processes can be suppressed to facilitate efficient exciton utilization. Accordingly, OLEDs with excellent device performances have also been reported. In this Review, we have summarized recent progress in highly twisted TADF materials and related devices, and give an overview of the molecular design strategies, photophysical studies, and the performances of OLED devices. In addition, the challenges and perspectives of highly twisted TADF molecules and the related OLEDs are also discussed.     

不同电子传输层的蓝光有机电致发光器件的性能研究

自从Tang等^[1]首次报道多层有机电致发光器件（OLED）以来,其在亮度和效率上有了质的飞跃,表明器件的结构对提高发光亮度和发光效率起着至关重要的作用,单层器件虽然具有制作简单的优点,但却存在明显缺点：（1）复合发光区靠近金属电极,该处缺陷很多,非辐射复合几率大,导致器件效率降低;（2）由于两种载流子注入不平衡,载流子的复合几率较低,因而影响器件的发光效率,要使发光层中具有高的载流子辐射复合效率,两种载流子的注入及传输能力应相当,否则传输快的一方就会直接穿过发光层到达对电极被猝灭,平衡电子和空穴的注入与传输可通过在电极和发光层之间加入载流子输运层或限制层制作多层器件的途径来实现,基于上述考虑,我们以PPCP为发光层（PPCP是一种荧光效率较高的蓝光材料^[2-4],对其进行深入研究尚未见有文献报道＿,设计了4种不同电子传输层（ETL)的三层 结构的OLED,为研究电子传输层对器件性能的影响,我们还制备了不含电子传输层的双层器件,结果表明,通过选择合适的ETL,OLED的发光亮度及发光效率会有很大程度的改善。     

Development of Materials for Blue Organic Light Emitting Devices

The success of organic light emitting diodes (OLED) has been witnessed by the commercialization of this technology for manufacturing the vivid and colorful displays used in our daily life now. The prospective growth of OLED technology on display industry will be optimistic. Over the last three decades, many different approaches on material and device designs have been implemented for improving the efficiency and stability of OLED devices. These efforts install main cornerstones to support the great achievement of OLED technology. However, until now, the performance and stability of blue OLEDs still have some concerns. This troublesome issue should be totally conquered before the large‐scale manufactures dominated over other display technologies, particularly liquid crystal‐based displays, takes place. Though significant progress has already been made to achieve high performance and long lifetime blue OLEDs, this topic still remains as one of the hot researches in OLEDs. We have been working on this area for about two decades and made some notable contributions. Consequently, in this personal account we have outlined our efforts to obtain better performing blue OLEDs by utilizing a range of emitters based on fluorescence, phosphorescence, delayed fluorescence and exciplex systems. We have also developed some novel host materials for blue OLEDs, which are worth mentioning in this account.     

Wide Band‐Gap Bismuth‐based p‐Dopants for Opto‐Electronic Applications

Ten new efficient p‐dopants for conductivity doping of organic semiconductors for OLEDs are identified. The key advantage of the electrophilic tris(carboxylato) bismuth(III) compounds is the unique low absorption of the resulting doped layers which promotes the efficiency of OLED devices. The combination of these features with their low fabrication cost, volatility, and stability, make these materials very attractive as dopants in organic electronics.     

Flexible and transparent moisture getter film containing zeolite

Organic light-emitting devices (OLED) are extremely sensitive to moisture and oxygen. Without high-performance hermetic seals, the life of these devices will be limited. A large amount of desiccant has been used in the packaging of OLED to ensure a dry environment. However, for top-emitter OLEDs, particularly for active matrix displays where the OLEDs are directly integrated on top of a thin film transistor (TFT) layer, the light must pass through a transparent encapsulating layer above the OLED, leaving little room to house the desiccant. Thus, a transparent layer with embedded moisture getter, such as zeolite, would be desirable. Here we report an effort to prepare such a transparent composite film containing zeolite nanoparticles, and show that such architecture is indeed possible.     

Design and Development of Highly Efficient Light‐Emitting Layers in OLEDs with Dimesitylboranes: An Updated Review

With excellent luminescent properties and transport properties, triarylborane compounds containing two mesitylenes (Mes) have gained much attention for their application in OLEDs as light‐emitting layers. This study serves as an updated review summarizing recent developments in the design of fluorescent chromophores and phosphorescent host materials for OLEDs comprising small molecular compounds of dimesitylborane (BMes₂) as luminescent layers, with attention to the performance of different light‐emitting devices. Problems that need to be solved in the research and application of BMes₂ in OLEDs are presented and the application prospects of such materials are suggested.     

Twisted penta‐Carbazole/Benzophenone Hybrid Compound as Multifunctional Organic Host,Dopant or Non‐doped Emitter for Highly Efficient Solution‐Processed Delayed Fluorescence OLEDs

A new multi‐functional penta‐carbazole/benzophenone hybrid compound 5CzBP was designed and synthesized through a simple one‐step catalyst‐free C—N coupling reaction by using 2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorobenzophenone and carbazole as starting materials. 5CzBP is very soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF), which brings an environmentally friendly device fabrication for solution‐processed OLEDs instead of most widely used chlorinated solvents when 5CzBP is employed as the bulk‐phase of organic host or non‐doped emitter in the emissive layer. 5CzBP exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristic with relatively high triplet energy of 2.60 eV and a low ΔE_ST of 0.01 eV. By using the new TADF material as organic host for another green TADF emitter, maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 12.5% has been achieved in simple solution‐processed OLED device. Besides, a maximum EQE of 8.9% and 5.7% was further obtained in TADF devices based on 5CzBP as dopant and non‐doped emitter, respectively. The simultaneously acting as efficient TADF host and non‐doped TADF emitter provides the potential guidance of the future simple single‐layer two‐color white OLEDs based on low‐cost pure organic TADF materials.
