The chromaticity of light emission can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the dopants. White light with the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.34) is achieved by mixing the yellow electromer emission of TAPC and the blue monomer emission of perylene from the device ITO/PVK: TAPC: perylene (100:9:1 in wt.)

The investigation reveals that the white light is composed of a blue--green emission originating from the excimer of Cz6F molecules and a red emission from an electroplex from the PVK:Cz6F blend films.

有机发光二极管的光致磁电导效应

制备了结构为ITO/CuPc/NPB/Alq₃/LiF/Al的常规有机发光二极管, 之后对器件采用波长为442 nm和325 nm的激光线进行照射产生激子, 并在小偏压下(保证器件没有开启)对激子的演化过程进行控制, 同时测量器件的光致磁电导(photo-induced magneto-conductance, PIMC). 实验发现, 不同于电注入产生激子的磁电导效应, PIMC在正、反小偏压下表现出明显不同的磁响应结果. 当给器件加上正向小偏压时, 器件的PIMC在0-40 mT范围内迅速上升; 随着磁场的进一步增大, 该PIMC增加缓慢, 并逐渐趋于饱和. 反向小偏压时, 器件的PIMC随着磁场也是先迅速增大(0-40 mT), 但达到最大值后却又逐渐减小. 通过分析外加磁场对器件光生载流子微观过程的影响, 采用'电子-空穴对'模型和超精细相互作用理论对正向偏压下的PIMC进行了解释; 反向偏压下因各有机层的能级关系, 为激子与电荷相互作用提供了必要条件, 运用三重态激子与电荷的反应机制可以解释PIMC出现高场下降的实验现象.

Color-converted remote phosphor prototype of a multiwavelength excitable borosilicate glass for white light-emitting diodes

We report a unique red light-emitting Eu-doped borosilicate glass to convert color for warm white light-emitting diodes. This glass can be excited from 394 nm-peaked near ultraviolet light, 466 nm-peaked blue light, to 534 nm-peaked green light to emit the desired red light with an excellent transmission in the wavelength range of 400-700 nm which makes this glass suitable for color conversion without a great cost of luminous power loss. In particular, when assembling this glass for commercial white light-emitting diodes, the tested results show that the color rendering index is improved to 84 with a loss of luminous power by 12 percent at average, making this variety of glass promising for inorganic "remote-phosphor" color conversion.

基于一种将具有电荷传输性的双极性主体材料与蓝、黄光客体材料共蒸的单层结构的同质结结构,制备了色温可调的白光有机电致发光器件(OLED)。由于不存在激子阻挡层,单层结构容易发生漏电流现象,致使OLED器件具有较高的工作电压和较低的电流/功率效率。在空穴/电子传输层进行p/n型掺杂的同质结结构则大大改善了器件性能。研究表明: 该种器件结构获得了相对较低的起压5.6 V,较高的电流效率2.64 cd/A和低效率滚降,其色坐标则随着亮度的增加沿着普朗克轨迹变化,产生类似于太阳光的发光特性。另外,对主体材料和共蒸层的电荷载流子的传输特性和复合机制也进行了一系列分析研究。     

Pure blue and white light electroluminescence in a multilayer organic light-emitting diode using a new blue emitter

We characterized the 6,12-bis{[N-（3,4-dimethylphenyl）-N-（2,4,5-trimethylphenyl）]amino} chrysene （BmPAC）, which has been proven to be a blue fluorescent emission with high EL efficiency. The blue fluorescent device exhibits good performance with an external quantum efficiency of 5.8% and current efficiency of 8.9 cd/A, respectively. Using BmPAC, we also demonstrate a hybrid phosphorescence/fluorescence white organic light-emitting device （WOLED） with high efficiency of 36.3 cd/A. In order to improve the relative intensity of blue light, we plus a blue light-emitting layer （BEML） in front of the orange light emitting layer （YEML） to take advantage of the excess singlet excitons. With the new emitting layer of BEML/YEML/BEML, we demonstrate the fluorescence/phosphorescence/fluorescence WOLED exhibits good performance with a current efficiency of 47 cd/A and an enhanced relative intensity of blue light.     

High power efficiency in single layer blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes

High efficiency single layer blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) without any charge transport layer were developed. A mixed host of spirobifluorene based phosphine oxide (SPPO13) and 1, 1-bis[(di-4-tolylamino)phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC) was used as the host in the emitting layer. A high maximum external quantum efficiency of 15.8% and a quantum efficiency of 8.6% at 1000 cd/m² were achieved in the single-layer blue PHOLEDs without any charge transport layer. The maximum power efficiency and power efficiency at 1000 cd/m² were 31.4 and 16.9 lm/W, respectively.     

Multiple roles of bathocuproine employed as a buffer-layer in organic light-emitting diodes

Efficiency and brightness and carriers injection have been obviously improved by using bathocuproine (BCP) as a buffer-layer in organic light-emitting diodes. Compared with the bufferless device, the quantum efficiency of device ITO/NPB (10 nm)/Alq₃ (10 nm)/BCP (2.4 nm)/Al has increased four times at the same current density (32 mA/cm²). Moreover, the buffer layer has changed the current-voltage properties and the turn-on voltage has obviously decreased. Considering BCP and Al³⁺ can react conveniently under room temperature, we suggest that a complex cathode structure of BCP/[(Al)_x(BCP)_y]^3x+/Al has formed under electric field and the new cation [(Al)_x(BCP)_y]^3x+ at the BCP/Al interface has improved the internal electric field and then enhanced the electrons injection. we conclude that: for a very thin (<1 nm) BCP buffer layer, improving electron injection will principally responsible to the improvement of the performance of the OLEDs; for a thicker BCP layer, there will be a synthetic function of BCP: improving electron injection, hole-blocking and electron-transporting.

Dependence of charge trapping of fluorescent and phosphorescent dopants in organic light-emitting diodes on the dye species and current density

This paper utilizes multilayer organic light-emitting diodes with a thin layer of dye molecules to study the mechanism of charge trapping under different electric regimes. It demonstrates that the carrier trapping was independent of the current density in devices using fluorescent material as the emitting molecule while this process was exactly opposite when phosphorescent material was used. The triplet--triplet annihilation and dissociation of excitons into free charge carriers was considered to contribute to the decrease in phosphorescent emission under high electric fields. Moreover, the fluorescent dye molecule with a lower energy gap and ionized potential than the host emitter was observed to facilitate the carrier trapping mechanism, and it would produce photon emission.

Efficient bright white organic light-emitting diode based on non-doped ultrathin 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene layer

High-performance undoped white organic light-emitting diode (OLED) has been fabricated using an ultrathin yellow-emitting layer of 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene (rubrene) inserted at two sides of interface between two N,N′-bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N′- biphenyl-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′- diamine (NPB) layers as a hole transporting and blue emissive layer, respectively. The results showed that a maximum luminance of the device reached to as high as 21,500 cd/m² at 15 V. The power efficiencies of 2.5 and 1.6 lm/W at a luminance of 1000 and 10000 cd/m², respectively, were obtained. The peaks of electroluminescent (EL) spectra locate at 429 and 560 nm corresponding to the Commissions Internationale De L’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.32, 0.33), which is independent of bias voltage. The performance enhancement of the device may result from direct charge carrier trapping in rubrene. Energy transfer mechanism was also found in the EL process.

Numerical investigations on the current conduction in bilayer organic light—emitting devices with ohmic injection of charge carriers

A numerical model for bilayer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has been developed on the basis of trappedcharge limited conduction. The dependences of the current density on the operation voltage, the thickness andtrap properties of the hole transport layer (HTL) and emission layer (EML) in bilayer OLEDs of the structure an-ode/HTL/EML/cathode have been numerically investigated. It has been found that, for given values of reduced trapdepth, total trap density, and carrier mobility of HTL and EML, there exists an optimum thickness ratio of HTL tothe sum of HTL and EML, by which a maximal current density, and hence maximal quantum efficiency and luminance,can be achieved. The current density decreases quickly with the mean trap density, and decreases nearly exponentiallywith the mean reduced trap depth.

Improved performances in top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes based on a semiconductor zinc oxide buffer layer

Electroluminescence performances are improved by inserting a semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) buffer layer into the emissive tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq₃) layer and the semitransparent Al/Ag cathode in top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (TEOLEDs) with structures of Si/SiO₂/Ag/Ag₂O/4,4′, 4″-tris(3- methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine/ 4,4′-bis[N-(1-naphthyl-1-)-N-phenyl- amino]-biphenyl/Alq₃/ZnO/Al/Ag. The thermal deposition of ZnO layer onto Alq₃ results in Alq₃ anion formation, which is beneficial to electron injection by generating some new energy levels in the forbidden band of Alq₃. In addition, a large hole-injection barrier of 2 eV at the interface of Alq₃/ZnO effectively blocks hole injection into Al/Ag cathode, leading to more carrier recombination in the emissive region.
