High-efficiency polymer light-emitting diodes using neutral surfactant modified aluminum cathode

High-efficiency polymer light-emitting diodes were fabricated by inserting a layer of nonionic neutral surfactant between the electroluminescent (EL) layer and the high-work-function aluminum cathode via spin coating. It was found that both the poly(ethylene glycol)- and poly(propylene glycol)-based surfactants as well as their copolymers can all demonstrate similar performance enhancement. Device performances comparable to or even better than those of the control devices using calcium as the cathode have been achieved for both poly(p-phenylene)-based and polyfluorene-based conjugated polymers with orange-red, green, and blue emission colors. It is possible that when both surfactant and aluminum are used as the cathode, the abundant hole injection through a hole-transporting layer and hole pile-up at the inner side of the EL/surfactant interface might cause an effective electric field to induce the realignment of the dipole moment of those polar surfactant molecules, thus lowering the barrier for electron injection. In addition, the coordination between the aluminum and oxygen atoms on the surfactant might cause n-type doping in the areas near surfactant in the EL polymer layer that causes the enhancement of electron injection.     

DNA electron injection interlayers for polymer light-emitting diodes

Introduction of a DNA interlayer adjacent to an Al cathode in a polymer light-emitting diode leads to lower turn-on voltages, higher luminance efficiencies, and characteristics comparable to those observed using a Ba electrode. The DNA serves to improve electron injection and also functions as a hole-blocking layer. The temporal characteristics of the devices are consistent with an interfacial dipole layer adjacent to the electrode being responsible for the reduction of the electron injection barrier.

Synthesis and optical and electroluminescent properties of novel conjugated polyelectrolytes and their neutral precursors derived from fluorene and benzoselenadiazole

Novel copolymers derived from amino‐functionalized fluorene‐ and selenium‐containing heterocycles [2,1,3‐benzoselenadiazole (BSeD)] were synthesized by the palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling method. Their quaternized salt polyelectrolytes of corresponding compositions were obtained by a postpolymerization treatment. The resulting copolymers were soluble in polar solvents. An efficient energy transfer due to exciton trapping on the BSeD sites was observed. Devices from such copolymers emitted orange‐red light peaked at 560–610 nm. All the polymers showed good device performance with high‐work‐function metal Al as a cathode without the use of an additional electron‐injection layer and are promising candidates for polymer light‐emitting diode applications. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Applications of Ytterbium in organic light-emitting devices as high performance and transparent electrodes

Potential applications of Ytterbium (Yb) in cathode system for organic optoelectronic/electronic devices were explored in NPB/Alq₃ based bi-layer organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). When a thin (14.5 nm) Yb layer capped with a thicker (200 nm) Ag layer was used as the cathode, the OLEDs show enhanced electron injection over those using the standard Mg:Ag cathode. Performance of the OLEDs with the Yb/Ag cathode is comparable to that using LiF/Al cathode. Interestingly, we also found that Yb can also be used to prepare a highly transparent cathode by co-evaporating Yb and Ag to form a Yb:Ag alloy electrode. Surface-emitting (or top emission) and transparent (emission from both surfaces) OLEDs with low turn-on voltage (3.75 V) and high efficiency were prepared with the Yb:Ag electrode.     

Electroluminescence performances of 1,1-bis(4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole based polymers in three cathode architectures

A new silole monomer with two 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl substitutions on silicon atom as designed and synthesized.Three copolymers PF-N-HPS1,PF-N-HPS10 and PF-N-HPS20 were then obtained by copolymerizations of 2,7-fluorene derivatives with the silole monomer at feed ratios of 1%,10%,and 20%.Their UV-vis absorption,electrochemical,photoluminescent,and electroluminescent (EL) properties were investigated.PF-N-HPS possessed HOMO levels of 5.25-5.58 eV,and showed green emissions.Using PF-N-HPS as the emissive layer,three different polymer light-emitting diodes were fabricated as device A with ITO/PEDOT/PF-N-HPS/Al,device B with ITO/PEDOT/PF-N-HPS/Ba/Al,and device C with ITO/PEDOT/PF-N-HPS/TPBI/Ba/Al.For the device A,PF-N-HPS only showed very low EL efficiency of 0.06-0.33 cd/A,indicating that the Al cathode could not inject electron efficiently to the emissive polymers containing the 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl groups.For the device B,low work function Ba supplied better electron injections,and the EL efficiency could be improved to 0.85-1.44 cd/A.TPBI with a deep HOMO level of 6.2 eV could enhance electron transport and hole blocking.Thus modified recombinations and largely elevated EL efficiency of 4.56-7.96 cd/A were achieved for the device C.The separation of the emissive layer and metal cathode with the TPBI layer may also suppress exciton quenching at the cathode interface.

Creating a pseudometallic state of K+ by intercalation into 18-crown-6 grafted on polyfluorene as electron injection layer for high performance PLEDs with oxygen- and moisture-stable Al cathode

Polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) suffer from inadequate lifetimes because of the use of environmentally sensitive metals as the cathodes. We present the use of water/methanol-soluble polyfluorene grafted with 18-crown-6 chelating to K(+) as the electron-injection layer (EIL) for deep-blue-emission PLEDs, allowing the use of environmentally stable Al as the cathode since electron donation from the 18-crown-6 can reduce K(+) to a stable "pseudometallic state", enabling it to act as an intermediate step for electron injection. Furthermore, when poly(ethylene oxide) was blended into the EIL to provide hole blocking (HB), the device exhibited the highest performance reported to date for a deep-blue-emission PLED based on a conjugated polymer as the emitting layer, with a brightness of 54,800 cd/m(2) and an external quantum efficiency of 5.42%. The use of such an EI-HB layer opens a broad avenue leading toward industrialization of PLEDs.

Alkali metal salts doped pluronic block polymers as electron injection/transport layers for high performance polymer light-emitting diodes

A series of alkali metal salts doped pluronic block copolymer F127 were used as electron injection/transport layers (ETLs) for polymer light-emitting diodes with poly[2-(4-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-phenyl)-p-phenylenevinylene] (P-PPV) as the emission layer. It was found that the electron transport capability of F127 can be effectively enhanced by doping with alkali metal salts. By using Li2CO3 (15%) doped F127 as ETL, the resulting device exhibited improved performance with a maximum luminous efficiency (LE) of 13.59 cd/A and a maximum brightness of 5529 cd/m2, while the device with undoped F127 as ETL only showed a maximum LE of 8.78 cd/A and a maximum brightness of 2952 cd/m2. The effects of the doping concentration, cations and anions of the alkali metal salts on the performance of the resulting devices were investigated. It was found that most of the alkali metal salt dopants can dramatically enhance the electron transport capability of F127 ETL and the performance of the resulting devices was greatly improved.

Carbazole compounds as host materials for triplet emitters in organic light-emitting diodes: polymer hosts for high-efficiency light-emitting diodes

A carbazole homopolymer and carbazole copolymers based on 9,9'-dialkyl-[3,3']-bicarbazolyl, 2,5-diphenyl-[1,3,4]-oxadiazole and 9,9-bis(4-[3,7-dimethyloctyloxy]phenyl)fluorene were synthesized and their electrical and photophysical properties were characterized with respect to their application as host in phosphorescent polymer light-emitting diodes. It is shown that the triplet energy of a polymer depends on the specific connections between its building blocks. Without changing the composition of the polymer, its triplet energy can be increased from 2.3 to 2.6 eV by changing the way in which the different building blocks are coupled together. For poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), a carbazole polymer often used as host for high-energy triplet emitters in polymer light-emitting diodes, a large hole-injection barrier of about 1 eV exists due to the low-lying HOMO level of PVK. For all carbazole polymers presented here, the HOMO levels are much closer to the Fermi level of a commonly used anode such as ITO and/or a commonly used hole-injection layer such as PEDOT:PSS. This makes high current densities and consequently high luminance levels possible at moderate applied voltages in polymer light-emitting diodes. A double-layer polymer light-emitting diode is constructed comprising a PEDOT:PSS layer as hole-injection layer and a carbazole-oxadiazole copolymer doped with a green triplet emitter as emissive layer that shows an efficacy of 23 cd/A independent of current density and light output.     

High-efficiency, environment-friendly electroluminescent polymers with stable high work function metal as a cathode: green- and yellow-emitting conjugated polyfluorene polyelectrolytes and their neutral precursors

A series of aminoalkyl-substituted polyfluorene copolymers with benzothiadiazole (BTDZ) of different content were synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction, and their quaternized ammonium polyelectrolyte derivatives were obtained through a postpolymerization treatment on the terminal amino groups. Copolymers are soluble in environmentally friendlier solvents, such as alcohols. It was found that the efficient energy transfer occurs by exciton trapping on the narrow band gap BTDZ site under UV illumination. Only 1% of BTDZ content is needed to completely quench a fluorene emission for both the neutral and the quaternized copolymers in the neat film. Absolute PL efficiencies of copolymer films were greatly enhanced as a result of the suppression of excimer formation. Light-emitting devices fabricated from these copolymers show high external quantum efficiencies over 3% and 1% for the neutral precursor and the quaternized copolymers, respectively, with high work function metals such as Al as a cathode. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on an electroluminescent polymer which bears the high EL efficiency, the electron-injection ability from high work function metals, and the solubility in environment-friendly solvents at the same time. These features make them a promising candidate for the next generation of light-emitting copolymers in PLED flat panel display application.
