White organic light-emitting diodes based on combined electromer and monomer emission in doubly-doped polymers

We report on white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) based on polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) doped with 1,1-bis((di-4-tolylamino)phenyl)cyclohexane (TAPC) and perylene, and investigate the luminescence mechanism of the devices. The chromaticity of light emission can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the dopants. White light with the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.34) is achieved by mixing the yellow electromer emission of TAPC and the blue monomer emission of perylene from the device ITO/PVK: TAPC: perylene (100:9:1 in wt.) (100 nm)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq₃) (10 nm)/Al. The device exhibits a maximal luminance of 3727 cd/m² and a current efficiency of 2 cd/A.

A novel ligand, 4-diphenylamino-benzoic acid (HDPAB), and the corresponding Tb (III) complex, Tb (DPAB)₃ which can be dissolved easily in organic solvents were synthesized and characterized. Organic electroluminescent (EL) device with a structure of indium tin oxide (ITO)/poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK): Tb (DPAB)₃ (50 wt%, 80 nm)/1,3,5-tris-(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (TPBI) (30 nm)/tri(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (AlQ) (20 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (150 nm) in which Tb (DPAB)₃ acted as an emitter were fabricated.

White-light-emitting devices based on Nile Red and π electron rich [Zn<Subscript>4core</Subscript>] complex

A white organic light-emitting device was fabricated with a structure of ITO/PEDOT: PSS (45 nm)/PVK: Nile Red: [Zn_4core] (75 nm)/BCP (25 nm)/Al. Without Nile Red green and with Nile Red white emission was achieved. When the concentration of the Nile Red in thin film increased from 0.01 to 0.5 wt%, a white emission achieved. The electroluminescence spectra of the device cover a wide range of visible region with two peaks around 501 and 618 nm. It is noteworthy that a white and pure white OLEDs with an incomplete energy transfer from the green host [Zn_4core] to the dopant (Nile Red) was obtained in this work using a single emissive layer relative to the multi layered light emitter ones in white OLED devices. For 0.1 doped device, a maximum luminance efficiency of 2.54 cd/A with CIE coordinates of (x, y = 0.35, 0.37) at 230 mA/cm² has was achieved.     

The roles of zinc selenide sandwiched between organic layers and its applications in white light-emitting diodes

In this paper, the roles of zinc selenide (ZnSe) sandwiched between organic layers, i.e. organic/ZnSe/aluminum quinoline (Alq₃), have been studied by varying device structure. A broad band emission was observed from ITO/poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK)(80 nm)/ZnSe(120 nm)/ Alq₃(15 nm)/Al under electric fields and it combined the emissions from the bulk of PVK, ZnSe and Alq₃, however, emission from only Alq₃ was observed from trilayer device ITO/N,N^′-bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N^′-diphenyl-1, 1^′-biphenyl-4, 4^′-diamine (NPB) (40 nm)/ZnSe(120 nm)/ Alq₃(15 nm)/Al. Consequently the luminescence mechanism in the ZnSe layer is suggested to be charge carrier injection and recombination. By thermal co-evaporating Alq₃ and 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-t-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTB), we get white light emission with a Commission Internationale de l’E clairage (C.I.E) co-ordinates of (0.32, 0.38) from device ITO/PVK(80 nm)/ZnSe(120 nm)/ Alq₃:DCJTB(0.5 wt% DCJTB)(15 nm)/Al at 15 V and the device performs stably with increasing applied voltages.

With a simple three-layer structure of ITO/NPB(50 nm)/rubrene(0.1 nm)/TPBI(50 nm)/LiF/Al, a white light with CIE coordinates of (0.31, 0.30) were generated. The device gave a maximum luminance efficiency of 2.04 lm/W at 5 V. Furthermore, with a multilayer structure of ITO/m-MTDATA(30 nm)/NPB(20 nm)/rubrene(0.1 nm)/TPBI(40 nm)/Alq₃(10 nm)/LiF/Al, the device reached a maximum luminance efficiency of 4.29 lm/W at 4 V and the luminance could exceed 10 000 cd/m² at 10 V.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) is used as a buffer layer, tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq₃) as hole transporting layer, LiF as hole injection layer. The device shows a luminance 810 cd/m² at current density of 28 mA/cm², luminous efficiency of 0.14 lm/W. The external quantum efficiency (EQE) is about 0.5% and EQE increased up to 0.52% by doping with single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) into the emissive layer. We found an efficient inter-molecular energy transfer from polysilane to dye dopants. Furthermore, using the polysilane and energy-matched dye dopants enable to fabricate the electroluminescence devices through wet processes.

Hole-transporting property of a chemically hybridized poly(vinylcarbazole)-fullerene

We synthesized a star copolymer of poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) branched from a fullerene (C₆₀) center, and investigated its optical absorption and photoluminescence properties. The chemically hybridized PVK-C₆₀ was then employed as a hole-transporting layer of the electroluminescent device with a poly(9,9^′-dihexylfluorene-2,7-divinylene-m-phenylenevinylene-stat-p-phenylenevinylene) (CPDHFPV) emitting layer. The ITO/PVK-C₆₀/CPDHFPV/LiF/Al device showed a strong electroluminescence quenching due to a direct contact of the PVK-C₆₀ and the CPDHFPV layers. In contrast, when an additional PVK layer was introduced between the two layers, the electroluminescence was largely enhanced. The emitted light power of the ITO/PVK-C₆₀/PVK/CPDHFPV/LiF/Al device was improved by 3 times compared with the device without the PVK-C₆₀ layer.     

Red organic light emitting device based on TPP and a new host material

A novel coating method for fabrication of red OLEDs by using a new host material has been developed with the aid of a single furnace. The host material, zinc complex, was prepared from the reaction of zinc acetate and 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline and after characterization by UV-vis, FT-IR, and ¹H NMR spectroscopes was used as an emitting material in the fabrication of OLEDs. Since meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and zinc complex have a close molecular weight, both materials were evaporated from a single furnace. Devices with TPP and structures of ITO/PEDOT:PSS (55 nm)/PVK (90 nm)/zinc complex:TPP (65 nm)/Al (180 nm) were fabricated; Without TPP green and with TPP red emission was achieved. The device with 2 % TPP that doped into the zinc complex showed the purest red emission among all devices. The device showed the CIE coordinates of 0.70 and 0.28 at 14 V and a maximum luminance of about 94.2 cd/m². This new method is a promising candidate for fabrication of low cost red OLEDs with a more homogeneous layer.     

High-Efficiency Blue Electroluminescence Based on Coumarin Derivative 3-(4-(anthracen-10-yl)phenyl)-benzo[5,6]coumarin

The electroluminescent (EL) properties of a new coumarin derivative, 3-(4-(anthracen-10-yl)phenyl)-benzo[5,6]coumarin (APBC), were investigated. The results show that the EL devices comprised of vacuum vapor-deposited films using the derivative as dopant exhibited blue emission that is identical to the photoluminescence of the thin film. The electroluminescence device of ITO/2-TNATA (5?nm)/NPB (40?nm)/CBP : APBC (1.0?wt%, 30?nm)/PBD (30?nm)/LiF (1?nm)/Al (100?nm) gives a maximum luminous efficiency of 2.3?cd/A at the current density of 20?mA/cm², and maximum luminance of 5169?cd/m² at 16?V. The external quantum efficiency of the device is 1.85?%.     

Charge carriers bulk recombination instead of electroplex emission after their tunneling through hole-blocking layer in OLEDs

Charge carriers bulk recombination instead of forming electroplex after their tunneling through a hole-blocking layer, i.e. 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP), in organic electroluminescence (EL) device ITO/poly-(N-vinyl-carbazole)(PVK)/BCP/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃)/Al is reported. By changing the thickness of BCP layer, one can find that high electric fields enhance the tunneling process of holes accumulated at the PVK/BCP interface into BCP layer instead of forming “electroplex emission” as reported earlier in literatures. Our experimental data show that charge carriers bulk recombination takes place in both PVK layer and BCP layer, and even in Alq₃ layer when BCP layer is thin enough. Further, it is suggested that PVK is the origin of the emission shoulder at 595 nm in the EL spectra of trilayer device ITO/PVK/BCP/Alq₃/Al.     

High-contrast and high-efficiency top-emitting organic light-emitting devices

The reflection properties of top-emitting organic light-emitting devices with different electrodes and organic layers were calculated. The results guided the fabrication of a high-contrast device: Au/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc: 35 nm)/N,N’-bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N’diphenyl-1,1’ biphenyl-4,4’diamine (NPB: 15 nm)/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃: 50 nm)/Sm (35 nm)/Alq₃ (65 nm). The device has a contrast ratio of 8.3:1 at a luminance of 300 cd/m² under 1000 lx ambient light, and a maximum luminance and efficiency of 5000 cd/m² and 4.14 cd/A, respectively. The high contrast is attributed to the moderate reflection of Au at 380–550 nm, low reflection of Sm in the visible range, and high absorption of CuPc at 600–700 nm. PACS 85.60.Jb; 78.20.Ci; 78.40.-q
