插入电荷控制层对蓝色OLED发光性能的提高

用蓝色有机荧光材料N6,N6,N12,N12-tetrap-tolylchrysene-6,12-diamine(DNCA)作为发光层,在发光层中间以及发光层与电子传输层之间插入2-methyl-9,10-di(2-napthyl)anthracene(MADN)和9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene(ADN)作为电荷控制层,制备了结构为ITO/NPB(40 nm)/DNCA(15 nm)/MADN(3nm)/DNCA(15 nm)/ADN(3 nm)/Bphen(30 nm)/LiF(0.8 nm)/Al(120 nm)的蓝色有机电致发光器件(OLED)。该器件的最大电流效率和最大亮度分别为5.6 cd/A和23 310 cd/m2。与传统的单发光层器件相比,最大电流效率和最大亮度分别提高了70%和87%。器件发光性能的提高可归结于两个电荷控制层在整个器件中的协同作用。第一电荷控制层MADN的作用主要是将发光层区域分成两个部分,从而扩大了激子在发光层中的复合区域;第二电荷控制层ADN可以有效地将空穴限制在发光层中,避免了激子在电子传输层中形成的无辐射跃迁从而提高了器件的发光性能。     

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(12 nm)/NPB(50 nm)/EML/LiF(1 nm)/Al(100 nm)。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-hydroxyquinoline]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200 mA·cm-2时,得到了电流效率为5.60 cd·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400 mA·cm-2时,最大亮度达到了20 700 cd·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。     

间隔层对双发光层白色有机电致发光器件性能的影响

采用蓝色bis (FIrpic)和黄色bis iridium(acetylacetonate) 两种磷光染料,制备了双发光层结构的白色有机电致发光器件,器件结构为ITO/TAPC (30 nm)/host: (t-bt)₂Ir(acac) /spacer (x nm)/host: FIrpic (15 nm, 8%)/Bphen (40 nm)/Mg∶Ag (200 nm)。分别选用p型1,1-bis cyclohexane (TAPC)和n型tris borane (3TPYMB)作为主体材料制备了两种类型的器件,通过在两个发光层之间加入一层较薄的间隔层进行器件优化。结果表明,加入间隔层之后,器件性能得到提高,获得了色稳定性较好的白光器件。当主体为TAPC时,使用间隔层后器件取得最大亮度为19 550 cd/m²,最大电流效率为8.3 cd/A;当主体为3TPYMB时,使用间隔层后器件的最大亮度为1 950 cd/m²,最大电流效率为30.7 cd/A。实验结果表明,器件性能的提高,是由于加入了间隔层之后载流子复合区域拓宽,促进了发光层中电子和空穴的平衡。     

基于MADN空穴传输层的双层结构高效率黄绿光OLED及其阻抗谱分析

以MADN为空穴传输层,主-客掺杂体系[Alq₃∶0.7 Wt%rubrene]为发光兼电子传输层,构建了双层结构的高效率黄绿光OLED器件。该器件的黄绿光由主发光体Alq₃通过不完全能量转移到客发光体rubrene实现,电致发光峰值位于560 nm,1931CIE色坐标为(0.46, 0.52),最大发光效率达到了7.63 cd·A-1,比相应的NPB做空穴传输层的双层结构器件提高了30%。通过构建以MADN或NPB为空穴传输层的空穴单载流子器件并进行阻抗谱分析,结果表明MADN可以作为一种非常有效的空穴传输层,其空穴迁移性略低于NPB,这恰好弥补了OLED器件中空穴迁移比电子迁移快这一缺陷,为改善OLED发光层中载流子的平衡性创造了条件,从而提高了器件的发光效率。此外,MADN做空穴传输层的双层结构OLED的发光效率与传统三层结构器件(MADN和Alq₃分别作为空穴传输层和电子传输层)基本相当,表明了这种双层结构器件在简化器件结构的同时并不以牺牲发光效率为代价,发光层[Alq₃∶0.7 Wt%rubrene]兼具有优良的电子传输性能。

Realization of high-performance blue organic light-emitting diodes using multi-emissive layers

High-performance blue organic light-emitting diodes （OLEDs） are developed. A concept of using multiple-emissive layer （EML） configuration is adopted. In this letter, bis（2-methyl-8-quinolinolate）-4- （phenylphenolato）A1 （BAlq） and 9,10-di（naphtha-2-yl）anthracene （ADN）, which serve n- and p-type EMLs, respectively, are used to evaluate and demonstrate the multi-EML concept for blue OLEDs. The thickness effect of individual EMLs and the number of EMLs, e.g., triple and quadruple EML components, on the power efficiency of blue OLEDs are systematically investigated. To illustrate the point, the total thickness of the emissive region in different blue OLEDs are kept contact at 30 nm for comparison. The power efficiency of blue OLEDs with a quadruple EML structure of BAlq/ADN/BAlq/ADN is about 40% higher than that of blue OLEDs having a single EML unit. The Commission Internationale deL＇eclairage color coordinates of multi-EML OLEDs have values that represent the average of blue emissions from individual EMLs of BAlq and ADN.

Color-stable,reduced efficiency roll-off hybrid white organic light emitting diodes with ultra high brightness

High-brightness and color-stable two-wavelength hybrid white organic light emitting diodes (HWOLEDs) with the configuration of indium tin oxide (ITO)/ N, N, N, N-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)-benzidine (MeO-TPD): tetrafluoro-tetracyanoqino dimethane (F4-TCNQ)/N,N-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N-diphenyl-benzidine (NPB)/ 4,4-N,N-dicarbazolebiphenyl (CBP): iridium (III) diazine complexes (MPPZ) 2 Ir(acac)/NPB/2-methyl-9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene (MADN): p-bis(p-N,N-di-phenyl-aminostyryl)benzene (DSA-ph)/bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h] quino-linato)beryllium complex (Bebq2)/LiF/Al have been fabricated and characterized. The optimal brightness of the device is 69932 cd/m2 at a voltage of 13 V, and the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates are almost constant during a large voltage change of 6-12 V. Furthermore, a current efficiency of 15.3 cd/A at an illumination-relevant brightness of 1000 cd/m2 is obtained, which rolls off slightly to 13.0 cd/A at an ultra high brightness of 50000 cd/m2. We attribute this great performance to wisely selecting an appropriate spacer together with effectively utilizing the combinations of exciton-harvested orange-phosphorescence/blue-fluorescence in the device. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most exciting results in two-wavelength HWOLEDs up to now.     

Efficiency of a blue organic light-emitting diode enhanced by inserting charge control layers into the emission region

We demonstrate high current efficiency of a blue fluorescent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) by using the charge control layers (CCLs) based on Alq3 . The CCLs that are inserted into the emitting layers (EMLs) could impede the hole injection and facilitate the electron transport, which can improve the carrier balance and further expand the exciton generation region. The maximal current efficiency of the optimal device is 5.89 cd/A at 1.81 mA/cm2 , which is about 2.19 times higher than that of the control device (CD) without the CCL, and the maximal luminance is 19.660 cd/m2 at 12V. The device shows a good color stability though the green light emitting material Alq3 is introduced as the CCL in the EML, but it has a poor lifetime due to the formation of cationic Alq3 species.     

Efficient and stable single-dopant white OLEDs based on 9,10-bis (2-naphthyl) anthracene

Efficient white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) are fabricated with a thin layer of 9,10-bis (2-naphthyl) anthracene (ADN) doped with Rubrene as the source of white emission. A device with the structure of ITO/NPB (70 nm)/ADN: 0.5% Rubrene (30 nm)/Alq₃ (50 nm)/MgAg shows a maximum current efficiency of 3.7 cd/A, with the CIE coordinates of x=0.33, y=0.43. The EL spectrum of the devices and the CIE coordinates remains almost the same when the voltage is increased from 10 to 15 V and the current efficiency remains quite stable with the current density increased from 20 to 250 mA/cm².     

High-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes based on ultrathin blue phosphorescent modification layer

Yellow organic light-emitting devices(YOLEDs) with a novel structure of ITO/MoO_3(5 nm)/NPB(40 nm)/TCTA(15 nm)/CBP:(tbt)_2Ir(acac)(x%)(25 nm)/FIrpic(y nm)/TPBi(35 nm)/Mg:Ag are fabricated. The ultrathin blue phosphorescent bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridi-nato-N,C2■](picolinate) iridium(Ⅲ)(FIrpic) layer is regarded as a highperformance modification layer. By adjusting the thickness of FIrpic and the concentration of (tbt)_2Ir(acac), a YOLED achieves a high luminance of 41618 cd/m~2, power efficiency of 49.7 lm/W, current efficiency of 67.3 cd/A, external quantum efficiency(EQE) of 18%, and a low efficiency roll-off at high luminance. The results show that phosphorescent material of FIrpic plays a significant role in improving YOLED performance. The ultrathin FIrpic modification layer blocks excitons in EML. In the meantime, the high triplet energy of FIrpic(2.75 eV) alleviates the exciton energy transport from EML to FIrpic.     

High stability white organic light-emitting diode fabricated with the deposition of solvent premixed sources

This paper presents the characteristics of high-stability white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs). For the preparation of WOLEDs with a single-emission layer (EML), the source materials of MADN, BCzVB, C6, and DCJTB were solvent premixed before evaporation. The structure of the WOLEDs was ITO/NPB (50 nm)/EML (40 nm)/Bphen (30 nm)/Al (200 nm). The materials that comprised the EML for dual- and tri-wavelength WOLEDs were MADN:BCzVB:DCJTB and MADN:BCzVB:C6:DCJTB, respectively. The energy transfer between the host and the dyes influenced the luminance efficiency and chromaticity coordinates of the devices. The maximum current efficiencies were 6.34 and 6.38 cd/A for the dual- and tri-wavelength WOLEDs, respectively. The efficiency of the WOLEDs was enhanced by C6 doping, although a slight variation in the chromaticity coordinates was observed, which was resulted from variations in the applied voltage.

Enhancement of Frster energy transfer from thermally activated delayed fluorophores layer to ultrathin phosphor layer for high color stability in non-doped hybrid white organic light-emitting devices

Fluorescence/phosphorescence hybrid white organic light-emitting devices(WOLEDs) based on double emitting layers(EMLs) with high color stability are fabricated.The simplified EMLs consist of a non-doped blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF) layer using 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine-diphenylsulfone(DMAC-DPS) and an ultrathin non-doped yellow phosphorescence layer employing bis[2-(4-tertbutylphenyl)benzothiazolato-N,C2']iridium(acetylacetonate)((tbt)_2Ir(acac)).Two kinds of materials of 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(Bphen) and 1,3,5-tris(2-Nphenylbenzimidazolyl) benzene(TPBi) are selected as the electron transporting layer(ETL),and the thickness of yellow EML is adjusted to optimize device performance.The device based on a 0.3-nm-thick yellow EML and Bphen exhibits high color stability with a slight Commission International de l'Eclairage(CIE) coordinates variation of(0.017,0.009) at a luminance ranging from 52 cd/m~2 to 6998 cd/m~2.The TPBi-based device yields a high efficiency with a maximum external quantum efficiency(EQE),current efficiency,and power efficiency of 10%,21.1 cd/A,and 21.3 lm/W,respectively.The ultrathin yellow EML suppresses hole trapping and short-radius Dexter energy transfer,so that Forster energy transfer(FRET)from DMAC-DPS to(tbt)_2Ir(acac) is dominant,which is beneficial to keep the color stable.The employment of TPBi with higher triplet excited state effectively alleviates the triplet exciton quenching by ETL to improve device efficiency.
