依发光层顺序和厚度调节的多发光层白色有机发光器件

多层结构器件中发光层顺序及厚度对光谱影响很大。文章以RBG(红蓝绿)为基色,制备了具有不同发光层组合次序及厚度的系列白色有机电致发光器件。器件结构为ITO/CuPc(12nm)/NPB(50nm)/EML/LiF(1nm)/Al(100nm)。使用的蓝色发光材料为2-t-butyl-9,10-di-(2-naphthyl)anthracene(TBADN),掺杂剂为p-bis(p-N,N-diphenyl-amono-styryl)benzene(DSA-Ph),绿色发光材料为tris-8-hydroxyquino-line]aluminum(Alq3),掺杂剂为C545,红色发光材料为tris-8-hydroxyquinoline]aluminum(Alq3),掺杂剂为4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-t-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran(DCJTB)。通过调节各发光层的顺序和厚度,在200mA.cm-2时,得到了电流效率为5.60cd.A-1,色坐标为(0.34,0.34)的性能稳定的白光器件。当电流密度为400mA.cm-2时,最大亮度达到了20700cd.m-2。根据激子产生及扩散理论对实验结果进行了分析,建立了发光光谱与各发光层的发光效率、各层厚度及激子扩散层长度之间的关系方程,并以其计算了具有不同红层厚度的RBG结构的光谱的红蓝强度比。计算结果表明实验结果与理论相符。

Multiplayer White Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with Different Order and Thickness of Emission Layers

In multilayer OLED devices, the order and thickness of the emission layers have great effect on their spectrum. Based on the three basic colours of red, blue and green, a series of white organic light-emitting diodes(WOLEDS)with the structure of ITO/CuPc(12 nm)/NPB(50 nm)/EML/LiF(1 nm)/Al(100 nm) and a variety of emission layer's orders and thicknesses were fabricated. The blue emission material: 2-t-butyl-9,10-di-(2-naphthyl)anthracene (TBADN) doped with p-bis(p-N, N-diphenyl-amono-styryl)benzene(DSA-Ph), the green emission material: tris-8-hydroxyquinoline]aluminum(Alq3) doped with C545, and the red emission material: tris-8-hydroxyquinoline]aluminum( Alq3) doped with 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-t-butyl-6-(1, 1, 7, 7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTB) were used. By adjusting the order and thickness of each emission layer in the RBG structure, we got a white OLED with current efficiency of 5.60 cd x A(-1) and Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0. 34, 0.34) at 200 mA x cm(-2). Its maximum luminance reached 20 700 cd x m(-2) at current density of 400 mA x cm(-2). The results were analyzed on the basis of the theory of excitons' generation and diffusion. According to the theory, an equation was set up which relates EL spectra to the luminance efficiency, the thickness of each layer and the exciton diffusion length. In addition, in RBG structure with different thickness of red layer, the ratio of th e spectral intensity of red to that of blue was calculated. It was found that the experimental results are in agreement with the theoretical values.
