Organic electroluminescent device with aromatic amine-containing polymer as a hole transport layer (II): Poly(arylene ether sulfone)-containing tetraphenylbenzidine

Organic electroluminescent devices were fabricated using a poly(arylene ether sulfone)-containing tetraphenylbenzidine (PTPDES) and tris(8-quinolinolato)-aluminum(III) complex, Alq, as the hole transport layer and the electron-transporting emitter layer, respectively. A device structure of glass substrate/indium—tin oxide (ITO)/PTPDES/Alq/Mg : Ag was employed. Hole injection from ITO through the PTPDES layer to the Alq layer and concomitant electroluminescence from the Alq layer were observed. Bright green light with a luminance of 14,000 cd/m² was observed at a drive voltage of 14 V, indicating that the polymer possesses a high hole mobility and a high electron-blocking capability.

Constructing Charge-Transfer Excited States Based on Frontier Molecular Orbital Engineering: Narrowband Green Electroluminescence with High Color Purity and Efficiency

The design and synthesis of organic materials with a narrow emission band in the longer wavelength region beyond 510 nm remain a great challenge. For constructing narrowband green emitters, we propose a unique molecular design strategy based on frontier molecular orbital engineering (FMOE), which can integrate the advantages of a twisted donor–acceptor (D-A) structure and a multiple resonance (MR) delayed fluorescence skeleton. Attaching an auxiliary donor to a MR skeleton leads to a novel molecule with twisted D-A and MR structure characteristics. Importantly, a remarkable red-shift of the emission maximum and a narrowband spectrum are achieved simultaneously. The target molecule has been employed as an emitter to fabricate green organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.23, 0.69) and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 27.0 %.     

Electroluminescent segmented liquid crystalline trimers

The synthesis and liquid crystal behaviour of light‐emitting trimeric liquid crystals consisting of three mesomorphic moieties connected by aliphatic spacers are reported. The combination of an aromatic light‐emitting central core and two cholestanyl (dihydrocholesteryl) groups induces a helical liquid crystalline phase with circularly polarised photoluminescence and electroluminescence. These segmented trimers are designed to possess a high glass transition temperature below which the structure of liquid crystalline phases can be fixed. The effects of odd and even spacers, spacer length and the presence of large lateral substituents on the liquid crystal behaviour and the glass transition temperature of these trimers were studied. Electroluminescence from a segmented liquid crystalline trimer is reported for the first time.     

Synthesis and Polymerization of Spiro Oxyphosphoranes

Novel methods of synthesis of spiro acyloxyphosphoranes are described emphasizing the significance of the first isolated instance of these new species. Then, the no-catalyst alternating copolymerizations of the combinations of cyclic phosphorus(III) compounds (serving as nucleophilic monomer, M_N) with acrylic acid derivatives and with α-keto acids (electrophilic monomer, M_E) are mentioned. These copolymerizations proceed without added initiator. Spiro oxyphosphoranes play an important role in the copolymerization scheme in the equilibrium with the ⁺M_N - M_E ^? zwitterion, the key intermediate of the copolymerization. Finally, new reactions of spiro acyloxyphosphoranes with nucleophiles, alcoholysis and aminolysis polymerizations are presented.     

Interpretation of TOF-SIMS data based on information entropy of spectra

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), when used for the analysis of complex material samples, typically provides data that are complicated and challenging to understand. Therefore, additional data analysis techniques, such as multivariate analysis, are often required to facilitate the interpretation of TOF-SIMS data. In this study, a new method based on the information entropy (Shannon entropy) is proposed as an indicator of the outline characteristics of an unknown sample, such as changes in the material within the sample and mixing conditions. The Shannon entropy values are calculated using the relative intensity of every secondary ion normalized to the total ion count and reflect the diversity of secondary ions in the spectrum. Mixed samples containing two organic electroluminescence materials of different ratios, multilayers of Irganox 1010, and other organic materials were employed to evaluate the utility of Shannon entropy in the analysis of TOF-SIMS data. The findings demonstrate that the Shannon entropy of a spectrum indicates differences in materials and changes in the conditions of a material in a sample without the need for peak identification or the knowledge of specific peaks corresponding to the materials in the sample.     

铕配合物共掺杂电致发光器件效率滚降的延缓(英文)

将Alq3[tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium]和Eu(TTA)3phen(TTA=thenoyltrifluoroacetone,phen=1,10-phenanthroline)共掺杂进入主体材料CBP(4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl)中,我们制作并研究了一系列电致发光器件。经过优化Alq3的掺杂浓度,在不改变色纯度的情况下,器件的效率滚降被大幅降低并获得了近乎加倍的最大亮度。发光层中的Alq3分子不仅促进了电子的注入和传输,还延缓了空穴的传输。借助电致发光光谱,我们证实Alq3分子作为阶梯加速空穴从CBP分子到Eu(TTA)3phen分子的迁移,从而促进了电子和空穴在Eu(TTA)3phen分子上的平衡。因此,我们认为器件的效率滚降受到抑制的原因有两点:一是复合区间的加宽,二是Eu(TTA)3phen分子上空穴和电子的分布更加平衡。
