Optimization of high-performance blue organic light-emitting diodes containing tetraphenylsilane molecular glass materials

Molecular glass material (4-(5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-2-oxadiazolyl)phenyl)triphenylsilane (Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)) was used as the blue light-emitting material in the fabrication of high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In the optimization of performance, five types of OLEDs were constructed from Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD): device I, ITO/NPB/Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/Alq(3)/Mg:Ag, where NPB and Alq(3) are 1,4-bis(1-naphylphenylamino)biphenyl and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum, respectively; device II, ITO/NPB/Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/TPBI/Mg:Ag, where TPBI is 1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene; device III, ITO/Ph(2)Si(Ph(NPA)(2))(2)/Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/TPBI/Mg:Ag, where Ph(2)Si(Ph(NPA)(2))(2) is bis(3,5-bis(1-naphylphenylamino)phenyl)-diphenylsilane, a newly synthesized tetraphenylsilane-containing triarylamine as hole-transporting material; device IV, ITO/Ph(2)Si(Ph(NPA)(2))(2)/NPB/Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/TPBI/Mg:Ag; device V, ITO/CuPc/NPB /Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD)/Alq(3)/LiF/Al, where CuPc is Cu(II) phthalocyanine. Device performances, including blue color purity, electroluminescence (EL) intensity, current density, and efficiency, vary drastically by changing the device thickness (100-600 A of the light-emitting layer) and materials for hole-transporting layer (NPB and/or Ph(2)Si(Ph(NPA)(2))(2)) or electron-transporting material (Alq(3) or TPBI). One of the superior OLEDs is device IV, showing maximum EL near 19 000 cd/m(2) with relatively low current density of 674 mA/cm(2) (or near 3000 cd/m(2) at 100 mA/cm(2)) and high external quantum efficiency of 2.4% (1.1 lm/W or 3.1 cd/A). The device possesses good blue color purity with EL emission maximum (lambda(max)(EL)) at 460 nm, corresponding to (0.16, 0.18) of blue color chromaticity on CIE coordinates. In addition, the device is reasonably stable and sustains heating over 100 degrees C with no loss of luminance on the basis of the annealing data for device V. Formation of the exciplex at the interface of NPB and Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD) layers is verified by EL and photoluminescence (PL) spectra studies on the devices with a combination of different charge transporting materials. The EL due to the exciplex (lambda(max)(EL) at 490-510 nm) can be properly avoided by using a 200 A layer of Ph(3)Si(PhTPAOXD) in device I, which limits the charge-recombination zone away from the interface area.

Synthesis and characterization of high Tg carbazole-based amorphous hole-transporting materials for organic light-emitting devices

Novel hole-transporting materials based on carbazole dendrimers, namely G1CBC and G2CBC were synthesized and characterized. They are thermally stable with high glass transition temperatures (T_g) up to 245 °C and exhibit chemically-stable redox processes. Double-layer green OLEDs using these materials as the hole-transporting layer (HTL) with the device configuration of ITO/HTL/Alq3/LiF:Al emit brightly (λ_em 522-534 nm) from the Alq3 layer with a maximum luminance and low turn-on voltage of 15,890 cd/m² and 3.0 V, respectively. Their ability as HTLs in terms of device performance is comparable to the common hole-transporter N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (NPB), however their thermal properties were far greater than both NPB and N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)benzidine (TPD).     

Approaching charge balance in organic light-emitting diodes by tuning charge injection barriers with mixed monolayers

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of binary mixtures of 1-butylphosphonic acid and the trifluoromethyl-terminated analogue (4,4,4-trifluoro-1-butylphosphonic acid) were formed on ITO surfaces to tune the work function of ITO over a range of 5.0 to 5.75 eV by varying the mixing ratio of the two adsorbents. The mixed SAM-modified ITO surfaces were used as the anode in the fabrication of OLED devices with a configuration of ITO/SAM/HTL/Alq3/MX/Al, where HTL was the NPB or BPAPF hole-transporting layer and MX was the LiF or Cs(2)CO(3) injection layer. It was shown that, depending on the HTL or MX used, the maximum device current and the maximum luminance efficiency occurred with anodes of different modifications because of a shift in the point of hole/electron carrier balance. This provides information on the charge balance in the device and points to the direction to improve the performance.

A pure blue light emitting binaphthyl derivative：Synthesis and properties

A binaphthyl derivative with pyrene on 3 and 3＇ positions was synthesized and characterized via Suzuki coupling reaction. Emission maximum in solution was located at 390 nm with a quantum efficiency of 68% by taking 9,10-diphenyl anthracene as reference,while it is shifted to 450 nm with FWHM of 104 nm resulting from aggregation state in solid film.Glass transition temperature（Tg）and decomposition temperature were measured to be 184 and 447℃,respectively,by DSC and TGA.Unlike its photoluminescence spectrum,electroluminescent spectrum peaked at about 460 nm and shows a FWHM of 69 nm corresponding to a pure blue emission.The turn-on voltage,luminance and efficiency maximum were 5 V,2953 cd/m^2 and 1.37cd/A with CIE color coordinate of（0.16,0.15）,in the device structure of ITO/NPB（40nm）/PY-BN-PY（15nm）/BPhen（40nm）/Mg：Ag.     

Red Phosphorescent Bis‐Cyclometalated Iridium Complexes with Fluorine‐, Phenyl‐, and Fluorophenyl‐Substituted 2‐Arylquinoline Ligands

Red phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes based on fluorine‐, phenyl‐, and fluorophenyl‐substituted 2‐arylquinoline ligands were designed and synthesized.

All devices, which use these materials showed efficient red emissions. In particular, a device exhibited a saturated red emission with a maximum luminance, external quantum efficiency, and luminous efficiency of 14200 cd m^?2, 8.44 %, and 6.58 cd A^?1 at 20 mA cm^?2, respectively. The CIE (x, y) coordinates of this device are (0.67, 0.33) at 12.0 V.     

High-performance hole-transport layers for polymer light-emitting diodes. Implementation of organosiloxane cross-linking chemistry in polymeric electroluminescent devices

This contribution describes an organosiloxane cross-linking approach to robust, efficient, adherent hole-transport layers (HTLs) for polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). An example is 4,4'-bis[(p-trichlorosilylpropylphenyl)phenylamino]biphenyl (TPDSi(2)), which combines the hole-transporting efficiency of N,N-diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1-biphenyl)-4,4-diamine) (TPD, prototypical small-molecule HTL material) and the strong cross-linking/densification tendencies of organosilanol groups. Covalent chemical bonding of TPDSi(2) to PLED anodes (e.g., indium tin oxide, ITO) and its self-cross-linking enable fabrication of three generations of insoluble PLED HTLs: (1) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of TPDSi(2) on ITO; (2) cross-linked blend networks consisting of TPDSi(2) + a hole transporting polymer (e.g., poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-N-(4-(3-methylpropyl))diphenylamine), TFB) on ITO; (3) TPDSi(2) + TFB blends on ITO substrates precoated with a conventional PLED HTL, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS). PLED devices fabricated using these new HTLs exhibit comparable or superior performance vs comparable devices based on PEDOT-PSS alone. With these new HTLs, current efficiencies as high as approximately 17 cd/A and luminances as high as approximately 140,000 cd/m(2) have been achieved. Further experiments demonstrate that not only do these HTLs enhance PLED anode hole injection but they also exhibit significantly greater electron-blocking capacity than PEDOT-PSS. The present organosiloxane HTL approach offers many other attractions such as convenience of fabrication, flexibility in choosing HTL components, and reduced HTL-induced luminescence quenching, and can be applied as a general strategy to enhance PLED performance.     

(C(wedge)N(wedge)N)Pt(C identical to C)nR] (HC(wedge)N(wedge)N = 6-aryl-2,2'-bipyridine,n = 1-4, R = aryl,SiMe3) as a new class of light-emitting materials and their applications in electrophosphorescent devices

Tridentate cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes bearing sigma-alkynyl ligands exhibit tunable photoluminescence and enhanced stability during vacuum deposition; OLEDs based on these materials display orange to red electrophosphorescence with low turn-on voltages (approximately 4 V), maximum luminance approaching 10,000 cd m-2 and efficiency up to 4.2 cd A-1.     

π-Extended Carbazole Derivatives as Host Materials for Highly Efficient and Long-Life Green Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

High-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that use phosphorescent and/or thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters are capable of realizing 100 % electron-to-photon conversion. The host materials in these OLEDs play crucial roles in determining OLED performance. Carbazole derivatives are frequently used as host materials, among which 3,3-bis(9H-carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl ( mCBP ) is often used for lifetime testing in scientific studies. In this study, the π conjugation of the carbazole unit was expanded to enhance OLED lifetime by designing and developing two benzothienocarbazole (BTCz)-based host materials, namely m1BTCBP and m4BTCBP . Among these host materials, m1BTCBP formed a highly efficient [Ir(ppy)₃]-based OLED with an operational luminescence half-life (LT₅₀) of over 300 h at an initial luminance of approximately 12000 cd m⁻² (current density: 25 mA cm⁻²). The LT₅₀ value at 1000 cd cm⁻² was estimated to be about 23 000 h. This performance is clearly higher than that of mCBP -based OLEDs (LT₅₀≈8500 h).     

Synthesis,structures, and electroluminescence properties of a 1D zinc(II) coordination polymer containing both dicyanamide and pyrazinamide ligands

A 1D coordination polymer, {[Zn(μ_1,5-dca)₂(PZA)₂](PZA)₂}_n (1), has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The coordination modes of the dicyanamide (dca) and the pyrazinamide (PZA) were inferred by IR spectroscopy. The complex was applied to organic electroluminescent (EL) devices as the emitting materials. The electroluminescent device of ITO/NPB (40 nm)/Zn polymer: CBP (30 nm) (30 nm)/BCP (15 nm)/Alq (30 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) was fabricated. The EL device emits cyan light originating from this complex with high brightness and efficiencies. For 1, a maximum luminance of 34.9 cd/A was achieved at 9 V.     

The Effect of Controlled Dopant Concentration on the Performance of Blue Polymer Light‐emitting Diodes

The performance of a blue polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLED) was significantly improved by doping a controlled amount (<1%) of a hole transport molecule N,N′‐bis‐(1‐naphthyl)‐N,N′‐diphenyl‐1,1′‐biphenyl‐4,4″‐diamine (NPB) into the emitting layer. Hole carrier mobility of the blue emitting polymer, BP105 (trade name of The Dow Chemicals Co.), increased from 5.27 × 10^‐7 cm^‐2/Vs of the pristine BP105 to 1.80 × 10^‐6 cm^‐2/Vs with the addition of 1% NPB in BP105. The enhanced carrier mobility greatly promoted performance of a blue PLED device with a device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/BP105+x% NPB/LiF/Ca/Al. Luminance increased from 573 cd/m² to 2,720 cd/m² at 6V and efficiency increased from 1.1 lm/W to 1.6 lm/W at 1,000 cd/m² with 1% NPB in BP105. The most important improvement was an increase in the lifetime of the blue device from 80 to 120 hours at an initial luminance of 400 cd/m². We found that by choosing the appropriate dopant with good energy alignment and controlled dopant concentration, the performance of a blue PLED device could be greatly improved.

A two-layer electroluminescent device with configuration of ITO/TPD/Re(CO)(3)ClL/Mg(0.9)Ag(0.1)/Ag has been fabricated, which gave a turn-on voltage of as low as 3 V and a maximum luminance of 113 cd/m(2) at a bias voltage of 10.5 V, and confirmed that the Re complex can function as a bright orange-red emitter and an electron transport material in an electroluminescent device.     

Synthesis, structure, properties, and application of a carbazole-based diaza[7]helicene in a deep-blue-emitting OLED

A carbazole-based diaza[7]helicene, 2,12-dihexyl-2,12-diaza[7]helicene (1), was synthesized by a photochemical synthesis and its use as a deep-blue dopant emitter in an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) was examined. Compound 1 exhibited good solubility and excellent thermal stability with a high decomposition temperature (T(d)=372.1?°C) and a high glass-transition temperature (T(g), up to 203.0?°C). Single-crystal structural analysis of the crystalline clathrate (1)(2)?cyclohexane along with a theoretical investigation revealed a non-planar-fused structure of compound 1, which prevented the close-packing of molecules in the solid state and kept the molecule in a good amorphous state, which allowed the optimization of the properties of the OLED. A device with a structure of ITO/NPB (50?nm)/CBP:5?% 1 (30?nm)/BCP (20?nm)/Mg:Ag (100?nm)/Ag (50?nm) showed saturated blue light with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.15, 0.10); the maximum luminance efficiency and brightness were 0.22?cd?A(-1) (0.09?Lm?W(-1)) and 2365?cd?m(-2), respectively. This new class of helicenes, based on carbazole frameworks, not only opens new possibilities for utilizing helicene derivatives in deep-blue-emitting OLEDs but may also have potential applications in many other fields, such as molecular recognition and organic nonlinear optical materials.

Effects of MEH-PPV Molecular Ordering in the Emitting Layer on the Luminescence Efficiency of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

We investigated the effects of molecular ordering on the electro-optical characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with an emission layer (EML) of poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV). The EML was fabricated by a solution process which can make molecules ordered. The performance of the OLED devices with the molecular ordering method was compared to that obtained through fabrication by a conventional spin coating method. The turn-on voltage and the luminance of the conventional OLEDs were 5 V and 34.75 cd/m², whereas those of the proposed OLEDs were 4.5 V and 120.3 cd/m², respectively. The underlying mechanism of the higher efficiency with ordered molecules was observed by analyzing the properties of the EML layer using AFM, SE, XRD, and an LCR meter. We confirmed that the electrical properties of the organic thin film can be improved by controlling the molecular ordering of the EML, which plays an important role in the electrical characteristics of the OLED.
