Tandem organic light-emitting diode with molybdenum tri-oxide thin film interconnector layer

A 10-nm thickness molybdenum tri-oxide (MoO₃) thin film was used as the interconnector layer in tandem organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). The tandem OLEDs with two identical emissive units consisting of N,N'-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine (NPB)/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃) exhibited current efficiency-current density characteristics superior to the conventional single-unit devices. At 20 mA/cm², the current efficiency of the tandem OLEDs using the interconnector layers of MoO₃ thin film was about 4.0 cd/A, which is about twice of that of the corresponding conventional single-unit device (1.8 cd/A). The tandem OLED showed a higher power efficiency than the conventional single-unit device for luminance over 1200 cd/m². The experimental results demonstrated that a MoO₃ thin film with a proper thickness can be used as an effective interconnector layer in tandem OLEDs. Such an interconnector layer can be easily fabricated by simple thermal evaporation, greatly simplifying the device processing and fabrication processes required by previously reported interconnector layers. A possible explanation was proposed for the carrier generation of the MoO₃ interconnector layer.     

Field- and thickness-dependent performance of tandem organic light-emitting diodes with buffer-modified fullerene/copper phthalocyanine heterojunction as interconnector

Tandem organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the buffer-modified fullerene/copper phthalocyanine (LiF/C60/CuPc/MoO₃) as interconnector have been investigated. The properties of tandem OLEDs are dependent on electric field, which is induced by electric-field-dependence of charge generation (by electric filed and photons) and separation in such an interconnector structure. At low electric field, because of less generated-charges and light-absorption of C60/CuPc film, current efficiency and brightness of tandem OLEDs with two emissive units exhibit less than twice higher than those of conventional single-unit device. But more than twofold enhancement of current efficiency and brightness is observed at higher electric field due to a large number of charges generated in the interconnector. Meanwhile, the performance of tandem devices is affected by the thickness of C60 and CuPc. The optimal thickness is related to their exciton diffusion length.     

基于迭层结构的高效红色有机电致发光器件

为了提高红色有机电致发光器件的亮度和效率,引入Alq3:Mg/WO3作连接层制备了红色迭层有机电致发光器件.通过调节WO3的厚度得到了最佳器件,其效率和亮度达到了普通器件的三倍和四倍.利用铕配合物[Eu(DBM)3bath]和小分子染料器件(DCJTI)单元进行组合制备迭层器件,结构为ITO/TPD/DCJTI:CBP/BCP/Alq3/Alq3:Mg/WO3/TPD/Eu(DBM)3bath:TPD/Eu(DBM)3bath/LiF/A1,器件的最大亮度达8609 cd/m'2,最大效率达10.2 cd/A.     

Highly efficient bipolar connecting layers for tandem organic light-emitting devices

A highly efficient tandem organic light-emitting device (OLED) has been fabricated by using an effective bipolar connecting layer structure. The connecting layers were made up of a layer of magnesium (Mg): 2,7-dipyrenyl-9,9-diphenyl fluorene (N-DPF) and a layer of tungsten trioxide (WO₃). Such a connecting layer structure permits efficient opposite holes and electrons flowing into two adjacent emitting units. The current efficiency of the two-unit tandem device can be dramatically enhanced by more than four times compared with that of the conventional single-unit device. At 60 mA/cm², the current efficiency of the tandem OLED using the connecting layers of Mg: N-DPF/WO₃ was about 8.15 cd/A. The results can be marked as a breakthrough approach to improve the current efficiency and brightness of OLEDs. Furthermore, a model of the carrier tunneling into light-emitting units is proposed based on carrier balance and field-assisted tunneling. It indicates that the connecting layer structure functions as the origin of high efficiency for the tandem OLEDs.

Improving efficiency of organic light-emitting devices by optimizing the LiF interlayer in the hole transport layer

The efficiency of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-N,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB) (the hole transport layer) and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃) (both emission and electron transport layers) is improved remarkably by inserting a LiF interlayer into the hole transport layer. This thin LiF interlayer can effectively influence electrical performance and significantly improve the current efficiency of the device. A device with an optimum LiF layer thickness at the optimum position in NPB exhibits a maximum current efficiency of 5.96 cd/A at 215.79 mA/cm², which is about 86% higher than that of an ordinary device (without a LiF interlayer, 3.2 cd/A). An explanation can be put forward that LiF in the NPB layer can block holes and balance the recombination of holes and electrons. The results may provide some valuable references for improving OLED current efficiency.     

Effect of NaCl doped into Bphen layer on the performance of tandem organic light-emitting diodes

To improve the performance of tandem organic light-emitting diodes （OLEDs）, we study the novel NaCl as n-type dopant in Bphen：NaCl layer. By analyzing their relevant energy levels and cartier transporting characteristics, we discuss the mechanisms of the effective charge generation layer （CGL） of Bphen：NaCl （6 wt%）/MoO3. In addition, we use the Bphen：NaC1 （20 wt%） layer as the electron injection layer （ELL） combining the CGL to further improve the performance of tandem device. For this tandem device, the maximal current efficiency of 9.32 cd/A and the maximal power efficiency of 1.93 lm/W are obtained, which are enhanced approximately by 2.1 and 1.1 times compared with those of the single- emissive-unit device respectively. We attribute this improvement to the increase of electron injection ability by introducing of Bphen：NaCl layer. Moreover, the CGL is almost completely transparent in the visible light region, which is also important to achieve an efficient tandem OLEDs.     

利用NPB/MoO3/NpB作为空穴传输层的低驱动电压的有机发光器件

通过引入(NPB/MoO3)x/NPB作为空穴传输层,获得了低驱动电压的有机电致发光器件(OLEDs),(NPB/MoO3)x为多层结构(x为0,1和2).通过对比发现,在相同亮度下,x=1对应的器件具有最低的工作电压.这是由于在NPB和MoO3之间产生了电荷转移复合物(charge transfer,CT),这将会降低器件的空穴注入势垒,从而降低其工作电压,文中所研究器件为基于8-羟基喹啉铝(tris(8-hydroxyquino-line)aluminum,Alq3)的绿光器件.与x=0时的普通器件相比,在亮度为1 000 cd·m-2时,x=1时的工作电压降低了 0.8 V.
