Abstract: | We investigate the chemical degradation processes of highly stable red organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on the triplet emitter tris(1-phenylisoquinoline)iridium(III) by laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LDI-TOF-MS). The analysis of LDI-TOF spectra, collected on OLEDs driven at different current densities, shows a direct correlation between the lifetime of the devices and the formation of the three different reaction products: a BPhen dimer, an adduct of BPhen dimer with cesium, and the complex BAlq2 + Al(Me-q)2]+ as well. Additionally it was possible to identify another degradation product, whose chemical structure is related to the α-NPD molecule as well to the fluorine of the used p-dopant. This product is only observable in devices aged at very high current densities. |
