Increasing the luminous efficiency of an MEH-PPV based PLED using salmon DNA and single walled carbon nanotube

The combined effect of a salmon deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-based electron blocking layer and a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composite-based electron transport layer on the performance of a poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) polymer light emitting diode (PLED) has been examined. The SWCNT network in the composite layer improves electron injection from cathode and the DNA blocks these high mobility electrons at the electron blocking layer-polymer interface, leading to high luminance from the device. The luminous efficiency of the PLED is increased ∼20 times compared to that of a PLED using only MEH-PPV.

Increased luminance of MEH-PPV and PFO based PLEDs by using salmon DNA as an electron blocking layer

The effect of salmon DNA-CTMA as an electron blocking layer (EBL) has been examined on the performance of MEH-PPV and PFO-based light emitting diodes. Though the turn-on voltage increases with incorporation of EBL, a significant increase in luminance and luminous efficiency for both the devices is observed. The EBL improves the device performance by blocking electrons at the EBL-polymer interface, thereby increasing the recombination probability of electrons and holes. The luminance of the MEH-PPV based Bio-LED increases to 100 cd/m² from 30 cd/m² while a corresponding increase for the PFO based LED is to 160 cd/m² from 80 cd/m² with and without EBL, respectively.

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     

电极修饰层PEO/LiF对聚合物发光二极管发光性能的提高

在以聚合物发光材料poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene)(MEH-PPV)为发光层的聚合物发光二极管(PLEDs)的金属阴极与聚合物发光层之间插入一层绝缘的聚合物poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO),发光器件的发光性能有所提高,尤其是PEO/LiF共同对Al电极修饰时发光器件的开启电压、发光强度、电流效率等性能显著提高。初步分析表明修饰层的插入造成了发光聚合物层与金属电极界面形成势垒,通过空穴堆积抑制空穴的注入,增加电子的注入,并且PEO层可以有效抑制激子在阴极的猝灭。

Efficiency enhancement of fluorescent blue organic light-emitting diodes using doped hole transport and emissive layers

The electroluminescent characteristics of blue organic light-emitting diodes(BOLEDs) fabricated with doped charge carrier transport layers are analyzed. The fluorescent blue dopant BCzVBi is doped in an emissive layer,hole transport layer(HTL) and electron transport layer(ETL), respectively, to optimize the probability of exciton generation in the BOLEDs. The luminance and luminous efficiency of BOLEDs made with BCzVBi-doped HTL and ETL increase by 22% and 17% from 11,683 cd/m2 at 8.5 V and 6.08 cd/A at 4.0 V to 14, 264 cd/m2 at8.5 V and 7.13 cd/A at 4.0 V while CIE coordinates of(0.15, 0.15) of both types of BOLEDs remained unchanged. The electron mobility of BCzVBi is estimated to be 1.02 x 10_o cm2/Vs by TOF.     

Enhanced Efficiency of Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes by Dispersing Dehydrated Nanotube Titanic Acid in the Hole-buffer Layer

Efficiency of polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) with poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-ethyl hexyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) as an emitting layer was improved if a dehydrated nanotubed titanic acid (DNTA) doped hole-buffer layer polyethylene dioxythiophene (PEDOT) was used. Photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra indicated a stronger interaction between DNTA and sulfur atom in thiophene of PEDOT, which suppresses the chemical interaction between vinylene of MEH-PPV and thiophene of PEDOT. The interaction decreases the defect states in an interface region to result in enhancement in device efficiency, even though the hole transporting ability of PEDOT was decreased.     

Enhanced quantum efficiency in polymer electroluminescence devices by inserting an ultrathin PMMA layer

We report an increase of electroluminescence (EL) efficiency by about two times for poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) based polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) while employing an ultrathin layer of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) between a hole injection layer, polyethylenedioxythiophenne:polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and an emitting layer, MEH-PPV. The peak power efficiency of the control device (ITO/MEH-PPV/LiF/Al) was 0.42 lm/W with a current efficiency of 0.66 cd/A. The device with the optimized thickness of PMMA interface layer shows the highest power efficiency of 1.15 lm/W at a current efficiency exceeding 1.83 cd/A. The significant improvement in the device performance is attributed to the decrease of holes injection and the promotion of electrons injection, which cause the balance of the carriers within the emitting layer.     

Efficient green-phosphorescent light-emitting diodes based on polymeric binary-host systems

The fabrication of the green polymer light-emitting diodes based on emission from the phosphorescent molecule fac tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium doped into a polymeric binary-host is reported. The main host used in the PLEDs was a non-conjugated polymer, poly(9-vinyl carbazole) (PVK). To realize the balanced transport of the holes and the electrons, a conjugated polymer, poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) was used as the assisting host. According to the experimental results, we found that the PLEDs can achieve the balance in charge transport and the recombination zone is still confined in the emissive layer by controlling the ratio of PVK to PFO. The luminous efficiency is enhanced by >40% while the external quantum efficiency can be increased by >38% in a polymeric binary-host system as compared to those of traditional device configuration, which is attributed to the balanced transport of the charged carrier.

掺杂DCJTB聚合物电化学池（LEC）的发光性质

通过在聚合物电化学池(LEC)发光器件的发光材料MEH-PPV中掺杂红光染料DCJTB,对LEC器件的发光性质进行研究。基于器件结构为ITO/MEH-PPV PEO LiCF3SO3/Al的薄膜LEC器件,其电致发光峰在570nm左右,通过在MEH-PPV与PEO的混合膜中掺杂不同比例的红光染料DCJTB,随着掺杂比例的增加,器件的发光峰由570nm向红光波段移动,通过控制DCJTB的掺杂比例制备了发光峰在570~650nm连续变化的LEC电致发光器件。对其分析认为从LEC主体发光聚合物MEH-PPV到染料DCJTB间发生了良好的能量传递。     

Enhancing the performance of polymer light-emitting diode via methanol treatment

Enhanced performance of polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) was realized by performing methanol treatment on the emissive layer. Experimental results show that with methanol treatment the electron current increased owing to the rougher surface topography of the emissive layer. Therefore, the balance between electron and hole current was improved. The maximum luminous efficiency and external quantum efficiency of PLEDs increased from 19.7 cd/A and 6.89% to 22.5 cd/A and 7.87%, respectively.     

双电子传输层对有机发光二极管效率及其衰减的改善

采用Bphen和BCP制成双电子传输层(Doubleelectrontransportlayers, DETLs)的有机发光二极管器件, 与Bphen单独作ETL的器件相比, DETLs器件具有较小的空穴漏电流, 效率提升10%。与BCP独自作ETL的器件相比, 更多的电子注入使DETLs器件的效率在50~600mA/cm²的电流范围内没有衰减。BCP作ETL的器件的效率从50mA/cm²时的2.5cd/A衰减至300mA/cm²的2.1cd/A, 衰减了16%。Cs₂CO₃:BCP独自作ETL的器件效率在50~300mA/cm²的电流范围内衰减了30%, 而Bphen/Cs₂CO₃:BCP作DETLs的器件效率在50~600mA/cm²的电流范围内衰减幅度为0, 原因是Bphen阻挡了Cs原子扩散至发光层。     

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.     

Electrical and optical properties of light-emitting field-effect transistors based on MEH-PPV polymer composite films with ZnO nanoparticles

The optical and electrical properties of light-emitting field-effect transistor structures with an active layer based on nanocomposite films containing zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles dispersed in the matrix of the soluble conjugated polymer MEH-PPV have been investigated. It has been found that the current-voltage characteristics of the field-effect transistor based on MEH-PPV: ZnO films with a composite component ratio of 2: 1 have an ambipolar character, and the mobilities of electrons and holes in these structures at a temperature of 300 K reach high values up to ～1.2 and ～1.4 cm²/V s, respectively, which are close to the mobilities in fieldeffect transistors based on ZnO films. It has been shown that the ambipolar field-effect transistor based on MEH-PPV: ZnO films emits light at both positive and negative gate bias voltages. The mechanisms of injection, charge carrier transport, and radiative recombination in the studied structures have been discussed.     

有机/无机复合双层电子传输层的量子点发光二极管

采用有机/无机复合双层电子传输层（ETL）研制绿色QLEDs,其中有机ETL采用OLED中常见的ETL材料,无机ETL采用ZnO纳米颗粒,并通过调控有机ETL厚度改变电子注入,使电子/空穴达到平衡。制备的器件结构为:ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TFB/QDs/ZnO NPs/TPBI:Liq/Al,其中有机电子传输层TPBI:Liq采用真空蒸镀沉积。与仅采用ZnO电子传输层的器件相比,可以使器件性能得到大幅提升:器件的最大电流效率从11.53 cd/A提升到22.77 cd/A,同时器件的启亮电压、电致发光光谱无明显变化。判断有机ETL的主要作用是抑制了过量电子的注入和传输,在发光亮度变化不大的情况下,降低了器件的无效复合（例如俄歇复合）电流,从而使电流效率明显提升。     

Enhanced Device Performances of Blue‐Emitting PLEDs Coupled with Silver‐Nanoicosahedrons

Silver‐nanoicosahedron particles (AgNIPs) are produced by chemical reduction and photochemical methods and doped into the hole transport layer (HTL) or emissive layer (EML) of blue‐emitting polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLEDs) to improve their luminous efficiency. The optimal distributed‐densities of the AgNIPs are determined from current density–voltage–luminance measurements at different doping concentrations. The AgNIP dopant doses that maximize the average luminous efficiency of the proposed PLED are 6.71 µg cm^?2 in EML (achieving 3.48 cd A^?1) and 6.88 µg cm^?2 in HTL (achieving 3.35 cd A^?1). Although the luminous efficiencies of the blue‐emitting PLEDs fabricated by both doping methods are not significantly different, the maximum plasmonic enhancement (around 30‐fold) of the blue‐emitting PLED with AgNIPs in EML is red‐shifted to the green region (≈530 nm in the electroluminescence spectrum), seriously degrading the luminescent monochromaticity of the blue‐emitting PLED. The maximum plasmonic enhancement (around 33‐fold) of blue‐emitting PLED with AgNIPs in HTL occurred at 430 nm, overlapping the localized surface‐plasmon resonance extinctions of the AgNIPs in HTL (425 nm), thus favoring the enhancement of fluorescence emission. Therefore, to enhance the large‐area emission of blue‐emitting PLEDs, the AgNIPs should be doped in the HTL rather than the EML.
