We present the organic electroluminescent devices and lasers of which the colors are tuned by utilizing the Förster excitation energy transfer. Fluorene-based light emitting polymers, poly(2,7-bis(p-stiryl)-9,9^′-di-n-hexylfluorene sebacate) (PBSDHFS), poly(9,9^′-di-n-hexyl fluorenediylvinylene-alt-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (PDHFPPV), and a laser dye, 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) were used as the components of the energy transfer systems. Color-tunable photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and laser emission in the PBSDHFS/PDHFPPV binary and PBSDHFS/PDHFPPV/DCM ternary blends are demonstrated.     

Polymer White-Light-Emitting Diodes with High Work Function Cathode Based on a Novel Phosphorescent Chelating Copolymer

Polymer white-light-emitting diodes are fabricated based on the blend of poly[9,9-di-（2-ethylhexyl）-fluorenyl-2, 7- diyl]-end capped with polysilsesquioxane （PFO） and a chelating copolymer of poly[（9,9-bis（3′-（N,N-dimethylamino） propyl）-2, 7-fluorene-alt-2, 7-（9,9-dioctylfluorene） ）-co- [2, 7-（9,9-dioctlyfluorene）-alt-5,5-bis（2-（4-methyl-l-naphtha- lene） pyridine-C^2,N） iridium （III） acethylacetonate]] （PFN-NaIr）. The device with the sole aluminium cathode is able to produce a comparably white electroluminescence efficiency of 1.31 cd/A to that of the device using low work function cathodes （such as Ba, Ca, etc.）. The CIE coordinates of the white light emission consisting of red, green and blue three components are nearly at （0.34, 0.35）. The mechanism of the white light emission from the device with the AI cathode is investigated, which is related to the efficient injection of electrons through the interface of PFN-Nalr/AI.

顶发射白光OLED器件制备及其色坐标漂移机制研究

采用了高反射率金属Al和电化学性能稳定的金属Mo,在硅基底上制备了多层结构的 Al/Mo/MoO₃阳极,并研究了不同MoO₃厚度下多层阳极的反射率。在此基础上,通过发光层共掺杂制备了顶部发光OLED器件,并对器件发光机制进行了系统研究和分析。实验结果表明：采用发光层共掺杂制备的顶部发光OLED器件的色坐标,随电流密度或电压的增加而发生漂移;OLED器件色坐标漂移的原因是三基色发光强度随电流密度的增加,逐渐偏离了形成白光(0.33, 0.33)所需三基色强度比例值,导致了OLED器件的色坐标发生了漂移,其机制是发光层中主-客之间能量转移和陷阱共同作用的结果。进一步研究发现,在不同电压下,红光发光强度随驱动电压(或电流密度)增大而线性地减小。

The effects of photochemical oxidation and chain conformation on green emission of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)

The effects of chain conformation on the photo-oxidation and green emission of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) has been investigated at both single-molecule and ensemble levels. Single-molecule studies reveal the conformation of PFO chains to be more globular when cast from THF than from toluene solutions. Intensity transients of the single molecules show that the elongated molecules cast from toluene have more fluctuations due to limited energy transfer along the polymer chains. The more globular chains show monotonic decays with isotropic polarization. Emission spectra of the single molecules show that photochemical oxidation leads to a reduction in the emission of the molecule with no change in the emission spectra. No green emission is ever detected for single molecules, indicating that formation of emissive ketone defects is a rare event. Ensemble studies of chains show that molecules cast from THF develop some green emission upon photodegradation, while those cast from toluene do not. The increase in green emission in the globular molecules suggests that interchain contacts improve energy transfer for emissive ketone defects in the PFO cast from THF.

有机混合薄膜中的F(o)rster能量转移

通过掺杂不同的染料有机电致发光器件可以得到不同颜色的光发射。掺杂小分子有机材料?p酸四甲酯perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylicacid(TMEP)到蓝色发光聚合物poly(N-vinyl-carbazole)聚乙烯基咔唑(PVK),得到了很好的绿光发射。TEMP掺杂质量分数为0.01时,295. 5nm激发波长的荧光光谱可以明显观察到在420 nm处PVK和530 nm处TEMP的发射峰值;当TMEP掺杂质量分数达到0.05～0.10之间,器件的电致发光光谱和荧光光谱发射峰几乎完全被TEMP的绿光所占据。光谱的转移归因于从聚合物PVK到小分子有机材料TMEP的Forster能量转移。荧光光谱中随着TMEP掺杂浓度的的增大发射峰值有明显的红移,这种现象被归因于在TMEP高浓度掺杂情况下激基缔合物的形成。激基缔合物的形成从TMEP在薄膜状态下与溶液状态下的荧光光谱的比较中得到证实。     

利用级联式能量传递的有机电致发光器件

为了提高掺杂型有机电致发光器件(OLED)中主体发光材料与客体荧光染料间能量传递的效率,2-对联苯-8-羟基喹啉锌(Zn ₂)作为NPB : DCJTB掺杂体系的能量助传递剂,制备了结构如:ITO/NPB/NPB : DCJTB/Zn ₂/BCP/Al的有机电致发光器件。助传递剂Zn ₂的加入,能够两次利用Frster能量转移,实现NPB向DCJTB级联式的能量传递过程,提高低浓度时掺杂染料DCJTB红光发射的纯度;此外,还探讨了三者间能量传递的有效距离,即当助传递剂与掺杂体系的距离在小于10 nm的范围内,其参与能量传递的效率随着距离的增加而逐渐下降。     

基于CBP:BCzVB:Btp2Ir(acac)体系的白色有机电致发光器件色度飘移研究

以苯乙烯类化合物BCzVB为蓝色荧光染料,以铱配合物Btp_2Ir(acac)为红色磷光染料,共掺杂到CBP基质中作为发光层,制备了白色有机电致发光器件,研究了该体系发光色度漂移的原因。器件在掺杂CBP:6?zVB: 0．2%Btp_2Ir(acac),在．驱动电流从4～200 mA/cm~2变化范围内,发光色坐标从(0．340,0．273)飘移到(0．308, 0．273),色坐标轻微蓝移。对器件发光光谱和亮度-电流密度曲线等分析表明:器件色度的轻微蓝移是由于CBP基质向Btp_2Ir(acac)掺杂剂完全的能量传递、荧光染料BCzVB向磷光染料Btp_2Ir(acac)不完全的能量传递等内在物理过程和磷光染料Btp_2Ir(acac)自身发光饱和等特性共同决定的。     

Spectral Characteristics of White Organic Light-emitting Diodes Based on Novel Phosphorescent Sensitizer

采用新型贵金属铱的配合物bis(1,2-dipheny1-1H-benzoimida-zole)iridium (acetylacetonate)作为磷光敏化剂,与荧光染料4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-t-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-en-yl)-4H-pyran共同掺杂到聚合物主体材料poly(N-vinylcarbazole)中,以N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl) (1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diami-ne作为蓝光发光层,制备了白色有机电致发光器件. 通过对掺杂体系的紫外-可见吸收光谱、光致发光光谱以及电致发光光谱的表征,分析了该磷光敏化体系的能量转移机制. 结果表明,在该聚合物磷光荧光双掺杂体系中,由于磷光与荧光材料之间的不完全的F?rster能量传递过程,导致电致发光光谱中同时存在磷光材料三线态到基态与荧光材料单线态到基态的辐射衰减发光. 该掺杂体系成功实现了白光发射,随着偏置电压的升高,器件的CIE色坐标有微小的红移,但都非常接近等能白光点,器件表现出了很好的色纯度.

Effect of the polymer emission on the electroluminescence characteristics of n-ZnO nanorods/p-polymer hybrid light emitting diode

Hybrid light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods and polymers (single and blended) were fabricated and characterized. The ZnO nanorods were grown by the chemical bath deposition method at 50°C. Three different LEDs, with blue emitting, orange-red emitting or their blended polymer together with ZnO nanorods, were fabricated and studied. The current–voltage characteristics show good diode behavior with an ideality factor in the range of 2.1 to 2.27 for all three devices. The electroluminescence spectrum (EL) of the blended device has an emission range from 450 nm to 750 nm, due to the intermixing of the blue emission generated by poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) denoted as PFO with orange-red emission produced by poly(2-methoxy-5(20-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) 1,4-phenylenevinylene) symbolized as MEH PPV combined with the deep-band emission (DBE) of the ZnO nanorods, i.e. it covers the whole visible region and is manifested as white light. The CIE color coordinates showed bluish, orange-red and white emission from the PFO, MEH PPV and blended LEDs with ZnO nanorods, respectively. These results indicate that the choice of the polymer with proper concentration is critical to the emitted color in ZnO nanorods/p-organic polymer LEDs and careful design should be considered to obtain intrinsic white light sources.     

White luminescence of a system based on poly(9,9-di(ethylhexyl)fluorene) activated by fluorescent dyes

Luminescence has been studied for poly(9,9-di(ethylhexyl)fluorene) containing laser dyes which fluoresce in the green and red spectral regions. It has been shown that white luminescence can be obtained as a result of singlet-singlet energy transfer from the polymer matrix to the dyes at certain concentrations of the latter. Two systems are proposed that make it possible to obtain equi-energy white emission and white emission, taking into account the characteristics of the spectral sensitivity of the human eye. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 74, No. 1, pp. 37–41, January–February, 2007.     

以蓝色发光材料DPVBi为基质的白色发光器件

白色有机发光器件是实现彩色平板显示的重要方案之一。利用蓝色发光材料DPVBi[4，4′—(2，2—苯乙烯基)—1，1′—联苯]掺杂红光染料DCJTB[4—氰甲烯基—2—叔丁基—6—(1，1，7，7—四甲基久洛尼定基—9—烯炔基—4H—吡喃)]作发光层制备了白色发光器件。研究了DPVBi掺杂不同浓度IDCJTB薄膜的光致发光性质，根据光致发光结果，制备了以DPVBi掺杂不同浓度DCJTB作发光层的电致发光器件，其结构为ITO／GuPc／NPB／DPVBi：DCJTB／Alq3／LiF／Al。当DCJTB质量分数为0．0008时，器件实现了白色发光(色度x=0．25，y=0．32)，电致发光和光致发光的掺杂比例基本相符，表明器件的白色发光主要是由基质DPVBi向掺杂剂DCJTB的能量传递产生的。研究还发现：白色器件随电压升高，光谱中蓝色成分相对于红色成分的比例略有增加，文章对此现象进行了分析。该白光器件在14V时达到最高亮度7822cd／cm^2，在20mA／cm^2电流密度下的亮度为-489cd／cm^2，最大流明效率为1．75lm／W。     

两种铽配合物与PVK混合体系的发光机理研究

研究了稀土配合物Tb(p-MBA)₃phen(样品Ⅰ)和Tb(p-ClBA)₃phen(样品Ⅱ)与导电聚合物材料PVK掺杂体系的光致发光和电致发光特性。发现在样品Ⅰ与PVK混合薄膜的光致发光中,除了三价铽离子的发光外,还能看到明显的PVK的发光;而在电致发光中,PVK的发光完全被抑制,只能看到Tb3+的绿光发射。对样品Ⅱ与PVK的混合发光层,无论其光致发光谱还是电致发光谱,都没有看到410 nm处PVK的发射。进一步测量两种材料的激发光谱,初步探讨了器件的发光机理。样品Ⅰ的发光可能来源于两个方面,一是PVK到稀土配合物的不完全的能量传递,二是由于载流子俘获机理;样品Ⅱ的发光则是由于PVK到稀土配合物的完全的能量传递。     

有机吡啶盐的电致发光

有机盐是一种离子化合物,其分子间依靠比范德瓦尔斯力大得多的离子键结合,这有利于器件稳定性的提高。主要研究一种以新型有机吡啶盐ASPT(trans-4-[P-(N-ethyl-N-(hydroxylethyl)-amino)styryl]-N-methylpyridinium tetraphenyl-borate)作发光层的有机电致发光特性。实验发现有机盐ASPT是一种性能较好的红光发射材料。利用ASPT作发光层的单层电致发光器件,可获得稳定的红色电致发光。通过对外场界面势垒影响分析,我们讨论了这种单层器件的发光机理。为了探索ASPT中载流子传输与复合过程,并提高器件性能,设计了ASPT/Alq₃双层和TPD/ASPT/Alq₃三层结构的器件,进一步研究了它们的光电特性。实验结果表明,利用双层器件可获得亮度较高的红色发光。而在三层器件中,由于不同功能层的载流子传输特性的差别,激发复合区域受到驱动电压的显著影响,因此电致发光光谱随电压的变化而变化。通过对光谱结构、能级位置的分析,讨论了相关的发光机理。     

Exciplex emission in the blend of two blue luminescent materials

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on the blend of two blue luminescent materials N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-1,1′-diphenyl-4,4′-diamine (NPB) and 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5(4-tert-butyl-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) were fabricated. The electroluminescence (EL) spectra of this device showed a new emission that is different from their intrinsic exciton emission. Compared with the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of single layer NPB and PBD, respectively, there was an apparent red shift in that of their blend. Thus the exciplex formation in the blend can be concluded due to the similar emission in both PL and EL spectra. The exciplex formation process and the effect of applied voltage were analyzed by Gaussian fitting.     

Luminescence mechanisms of green and blue organic light-emitting devices utilizing hole-blocking layers

Optical and electrical measurements on green and blue organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) with and without hole-blocking layers (HBLs) were performed, and the luminescence mechanisms of green and blue OLEDs utilizing HBLs were investigated by using energy band diagrams and carrier density distributions. The dependence of the electroluminescence efficiencies on the existence of HBLs was described on the basis of a luminescence mechanism. The density distributions of the electrons and the holes in OLEDs under applied electric fields were estimated from the energy band diagrams, taking into account the electronic parameters and the layer thicknesses. The luminescence efficiencies and the color chromaticities were significantly affected by the existence of the HBLs. These analyses can help improve understanding of the luminescence mechanisms at play in and the electroluminescence efficiencies of green and blue OLEDs with HBLs, and the present results provide important information on the optical properties for enhancing the efficiencies of OLEDs operating in the green and the blue regions of the spectra.
