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.     

Enhancement of Frster energy transfer from thermally activated delayed fluorophores layer to ultrathin phosphor layer for high color stability in non-doped hybrid white organic light-emitting devices

Fluorescence/phosphorescence hybrid white organic light-emitting devices(WOLEDs) based on double emitting layers(EMLs) with high color stability are fabricated.The simplified EMLs consist of a non-doped blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF) layer using 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine-diphenylsulfone(DMAC-DPS) and an ultrathin non-doped yellow phosphorescence layer employing bis[2-(4-tertbutylphenyl)benzothiazolato-N,C2']iridium(acetylacetonate)((tbt)_2Ir(acac)).Two kinds of materials of 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(Bphen) and 1,3,5-tris(2-Nphenylbenzimidazolyl) benzene(TPBi) are selected as the electron transporting layer(ETL),and the thickness of yellow EML is adjusted to optimize device performance.The device based on a 0.3-nm-thick yellow EML and Bphen exhibits high color stability with a slight Commission International de l'Eclairage(CIE) coordinates variation of(0.017,0.009) at a luminance ranging from 52 cd/m~2 to 6998 cd/m~2.The TPBi-based device yields a high efficiency with a maximum external quantum efficiency(EQE),current efficiency,and power efficiency of 10%,21.1 cd/A,and 21.3 lm/W,respectively.The ultrathin yellow EML suppresses hole trapping and short-radius Dexter energy transfer,so that Forster energy transfer(FRET)from DMAC-DPS to(tbt)_2Ir(acac) is dominant,which is beneficial to keep the color stable.The employment of TPBi with higher triplet excited state effectively alleviates the triplet exciton quenching by ETL to improve device efficiency.     

White organic light-emitting device with\ both phosphorescent and fluorescent emissive layers

This paper reports the fabrication of novel white organic light-emitting device（WOLED） by using a high efficiency blue fluorescent dye N-（4-（（E）-2-（6-（（E）-4-（diphenylamino）styryl）naphthalen-2-yl）vinyl）phenyl）oN- phenylbenzenamine （N-BDAVBi） and a red phosphoresecent dye bis （1-（phenyl） isoquinoline） iridium （III） acetylanetonate （Ir（piq）2（acac））. The configuration of the device was ITO/PVK：TPD/CBP： N-BDAVBi /CBP/ BALq： Ir（piq）2（acac）/BCP/Alq3/LiF：AL. By adjusting the proportion of the dopants （N-BDAVBi, Ir（piq）2（acac）） in the light-emitting layer, white light with Commission Internationale de l＇Eclairage （CIE） coordinates of （0.35, 0.35） and a maximum luminance of 25350cd/m2 were obtained external quantum and current efficiency of 6.78% and between the two light-emitting layers and using BCP at an applied voltage of 22V. The WOLED exhibits maximum 12cd/A respectively. By placing an undoped spacer CBP layer as hole blocking layer, the colour stabilization slightly changed when the driving voltage increased from 6 to 22 V.     

High efficient and color stable WOLED using double white emissive layer

For the high luminance and quantum efficiency, we propose a novel structure of white organic light-emitting diode (WOLED) using two white emissive layers (EML). The host material of MADN with the blue dopant of BCzVBi and the red dopant of DCJTB was used for one EML and DPVBi as host material with those dopants for the other EML. By considering the order of the EMLs and their energy band gaps in the device structure, the charge carrier trapping can be generated. They play a role in the barrier function at the EML enhancing the recombination where the holes and electrons were trapped in the DPVBi and MADN. The quantum efficiency can be improved by the charge carrier trapping in the WOLED with the double white EMLs as obtaining 4.23% at 10 mA/cm², and it is vastly superior to that of the WOLED with a single EML. White color balance is also excellent with color coordinates of (0.36, 0.34) in the CIE 1931 (x, y) chromaticity diagram.     

Effect of different spacers for performance enhancement on white organic light-emitting devices based on double emissive layers with homogeneous p-/n-type host

White organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs) based on phosphorescent blue and yellow emitters were fabricated, while p-type di-(4-(N,N-ditolyl-amino)-phenyl)cyclohexane (TAPC) and n-type 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-benzenetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi) were separately utilized as a homogeneous host for both blue and yellow emissive layers (EMLs). Then, various spacers were inserted between the two EMLs for performance characterization. The results showed that for the TAPC-host devices, a device using 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen) as the spacer had a maximum current efficiency (CE) of 11.3 cd/A, while stable white light emission with Commission Internationale del’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.394, 0.435) at a bias of 5 V was observed. Similarly, among the TPBi-host devices, a device using 4,4′-bis(carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl (CBP) as the spacer exhibited a maximum CE of 18.1 cd/A, accompanied by negligible color variation with the CIE coordinates of (0.284,0.333) at 5 V. For the double-EML devices, the improved device efficiency and color stability by introducing proper spacer was attributed to broadened recombination region and efficient energy transfer between the EMLs.     

Simple-structure white organic light emitting diodes with high color temperature

We present high color temperature white organic light emitting diodes with a simple p-i-n structure. A sky blue phosphorescent dopant of iridium(III) bis[4,6-(difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C^2’] picolinate and a red phosphorescent dopant of bis(2-phenylquinoline)(acetylacetonate)iridium(III) in the emissive layers is employed to make high color temperature devices. Very stable color variation under ?0.02 until a 5000 cd/m² brightness value is realized by efficient carrier control in a multi stacked emitting layer of blue/red/blue colors. Maximum current and power efficiencies of 23.8 cd/A and 22.9 lm/W in forward direction are obtained. With balanced emissions from the two emitters, the white light emission with very high correlated color temperature of 7308 K as well as CIE coordinates of (0.30, 0.33) is achieved.

本文采用多发光层结构,制备了高亮度下具有高发光效率,同时在较宽亮度范围内发光颜色稳定的白色磷光有机电致发光器件(WOLED).在对双发光层结构磷光OLEDs的发光机制和载流子传输过程进行系统研究的基础上,将两种磷光OLEDs的发光层结构相结合,获得的多发光层结构磷光WOLED最大电流效率和外量子效率分别为34.6 cd/A和13.5%;当亮度为1000 cd/m^2时,其电流效率和外量子效率分别为33.9 cd/A和13.3%,外量子效率滚降仅为1.5%;亮度从1000 cd/m^2增至10000 cd/m^2的过程中,其CIE色度坐标从(0.342,0.403)变化至(0.326,0.392),变化量ΔCIE为(0.016,0.011).     

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.     

Phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes with stable white color depending on luminance

We fabricated simple and color-stable phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) without an interlayer using a single host of 1,3-bis(9-carbazolyl)benzene with iridium(III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl) pyridinato-N,C2’]picolinate and bis(1-phenylisoquinoline)(acetylacetonate) iridium(III) as blue and red phosphorescent emitters, respectively. The CIE 1931 color coordinate difference of the white OLEDs is (0.008, 0.007) when the luminance of the device is increased from approximately 265 cd/m² to 9156 cd/m², which is regarded as visually indistinguishable in practice. In addition, we also measured the decay time of excitons to investigate the emission mechanism in this device using transient photoluminescence and electroluminescence techniques.
