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.

Efficient white polymer light-emitting diodes based on a phosphorescent iridium complex and a fluorescent silole and carbazole copolymer

White polymer light-emitting diodes (WPLEDs) were fabricated with blue phosphorescent iridium bis(2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C²′) picolinate (FIrpic) and red fluorescent silole and carbazole copolymer PCz-MPTST within a poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK): 1,3-bis[(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4- oxadiazolyl] phenylene (OXD-7) host matrix.

An organic light-emitting device with ultrathin quantum-well structure as light emitting layer

Both phosphorescent materials and devices, which emit red and green light, already have great performance and breakthrough. The biggest challenge and bottleneck is the blue phosphorescent device, if we want to popularize phosphorescent organic light-emitting device (OLED) in the full-color panel. This paper brings a new quantum-well structure in light-emitting layer. We select the commonly used phosphor materials, N,N′-dicarbazoly-2,5-benzene (mCP) and bis(3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl-(2-carboxypyridyl)iridium(III) (FIrpic). The structure of the device is indium-tin oxide (ITO)/N,N′-bis(naphthalene-1-y1)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)-benzidine (NPB)/di-[4-(N,N-ditolyl-amino)-phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC)/mCP/FIrpic/mCP/4,7-dipheny1-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen)/Mg:Ag. The blue OLED of good performance is achieved by adjusting the thickness of FIrpic. When the thickness of FIrpic is 0.2 nm and the Current density is 34.86 mA/cm², the results show that the luminance of the device is 1000 cd/m², then the luminous power efficiency of the device is 6.01 lm/W. Meanwhile, the light emitting mechanism of ultrathin quantum-well structure is well studied, the quantum confinement effect and the role of quantum well structure as the light-emitting layer in the blue phosphorescent devices are mainly analyzed.

Bright white light electroluminescent devices based on efficient management of singlet and triplet excitons

Efficient and bright white organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs) based on phosphor sensitized fluorescence are improved by using an unusual device structure, in which phosphorescent emissive layer is sandwiched between two blue fluorescent doped ones. This architecture allows for resonant energy transfer from both the host singlet and triplet energy levels that minimizes exchange energy losses. Thus, a WOLED with a maximum luminous efficiency of 11.63 cd/A, a maximum power efficiency of 7.37 lm/W, a maximum luminance of 31,770 cd/m², and Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage coordinates of (0.34, 0.36) is achieved.     

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。     

Low driving voltage in white organic light-emitting diodes using an interfacial energy barrier free multilayer emitting structure

The driving voltage of white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) with blue fluorescent and red phosphorescent emitting materials was lowered by using a device architecture with little energy barrier between emitting layers. A mixed layer of hole and electron transport materials was used as a host material and an interlayer, reducing the driving voltage of WOLEDs. The driving voltage of WOLEDs was reduced by more than 4 V and power efficiency of WOLEDs was improved by more than 40% due to little energy barrier for holes and electrons injection in light-emitting layer. In addition, there was little change of electroluminescence spectra from 100 to 10,000 cd/m².     

High-efficiency blue and white phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices

We have significantly improved the efficiency of blue and white phosphorescence from organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on phosphorescent iridium complexes. To improve the emission efficiency, 4,4^′-Bis(9-carbazolyl)-2,2^′-Dimethyl-biphenyl (CDBP), which has a high triplet energy, was used as the carrier-transporting host for the emissive layer. The blue phosphorescent OLED exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.4%, which corresponds to a current efficiency of 20.4 cd/A. This result can be explained as due to the efficient confinement of triplet energy on blue phosphorescent molecules, which is consistent with the results of transient photoluminescence experiments. The white phosphorescent OLED with greenish-blue and red emissive layers exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency of 12% and a luminous efficiency of 18 cd/A. This is primarily attributed to the improvement of greenish-blue emission efficiency as well as the emission efficiency of the blue phosphorescent OLED.     

Enhanced Green Electrophosphorescence from Oxadiazole-Functionalized Iridium Complex-Doped Devices Using Poly（9,9-Dioctylfluorene） Instead of Poly（N-Vinylcarbazole） as a Host Matrix

Optoelectronic properties of the oxadiazole-functionalized iridium complex-doped polymer light-emitting devices （PLEDs） are demonstrated with two different polymeric host matrices at the dopant concentrations 1-8%. The devices using a blend of poly（9,9-dioctylttuorene）（PFO） and 2-（4-biphenyl）-5-（4-tert-butylphenyl）-1,3,4-oxadiazole （PBD） as a host matrix exhibited a maximum luminance efficiency of 11.3 cd/A at 17. 6 mA/cm^2. In contrast, the devices using a blend of poly（N-vinylcarbazole） （PVK） and PBD as a host matrix reveal only a peak luminance efficiency of 6.Scd/A at 4.1 mA/cm^2. The significantly enhanced electrophosphorescent emissions are observed in the devices with the PFO-PBD blend as a host matrix. This indicates that choice of polymers in the host matrices is crucial to achieve highly efficient phosphorescent dye-doped PLEDs.

Moreover, we also discuss how to achieve the bright pure white light through optimizing the doping concentration of each dye from the viewpoint of energy transfer process.

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.     

Solution-processed white organic light-emitting devices based on small-molecule materials

We investigated solution-processed films of 4,4′-bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,1′-bibenyl (DPVBi) and its blends with N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (TPD) by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The AFM result shows that the solution-processed films are pin-free and their morphology is smooth enough to be used in OLEDs. We have developed a solution-processed white organic light-emitting device (WOLEDs) based on small-molecules, in which the light-emitting layer (EML) was formed by spin-coating the solution of small-molecules on top of the solution-processed hole-transporting layer. This WOLEDs, in which the EML consists of co-host (DPVBi and TPD), the blue dopant (4,4′-bis[2-(4-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl)vinyl]biphenyl) and the yellow dye (5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphtacene), has a current efficiency of 6.0 cd/A at a practical luminance of 1000 cd/m², a maximum luminance of 22500 cd/m², and its color coordinates are quite stable. Our research shows a possible approach to achieve efficient and low-cost small-molecule-based WOLEDs, which avoids the complexities of the co-evaporation process of multiple dopants and host materials in vacuum depositions.

The high device performances of the electron transport layer free blue PHOLEDs were comparable to those of blue PHOLEDs with the electron transport layer.

高效率共轭聚合物主体绿光磷光发光二极管

因电致发光效率高和器件制备工艺简单,聚合物为主体的绿色磷光电致发光成为一个研究热点.共轭聚合物的三线态能级一般低于绿色磷光材料的三线态能级,易对磷光的发光引起猝灭导致低的发光效率,所以较少被用作绿色磷光材料的主体.通过增加聚乙烯基咔唑（PVK）作为空穴传输层,获得了高发光效率的共轭聚合物聚芴（PFO）作主体绿色磷光发射,甚至高于相同条件下以PVK为主体的绿色磷光发射.究其原因,PVK的电子阻挡作用使发光中心靠近PVK与PFO的界面,界面处PVK因为其高的三线态能级增强了绿色磷光的发光.当三-（2-苯基吡啶）-Ir（Ir（ppy）₃）掺杂浓度为2％时得到了最高的亮度效率24.8 cd/A,此时的电流密度为4.65 mA/cm²,功率效率为11 lm/W,最高亮度达到35054 cd/m²,色坐标是（0.39,0.56）. 关键词： 共轭聚合物 磷光 绿光发光     

Highly efficient all phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes for solid state lighting applications

We report highly efficient all phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with an exciton-confinement structure. By stacking two emissive layers (EMLs) with different charge transporting properties, effective charges as well as exciton confinements were achieved. Accordingly, efficient blue OLEDs with a peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) over 22% and power efficacy (PE) over 50 lm/W were developed by using iridium(III) bis(4,6-(difluorophenyl) pyridinato-N,C2′)picolinate (FIrpic) as an electro-phosphorescent dopant. When the optimized orange and red EMLs were sandwiched between the stacked two blue EMLs, white OLEDs with an EQE and PE of 24.3% and 45.9 lm/W at a luminance of 1000 cd/m² were obtained without the use of any out-coupling techniques. In addition, these white OLEDs exhibit a color rendering index (CRI) value of 84 with high efficacy.
