摘要
Efficient white-polymer-light-emitting devices (WPLEDs) have been fabricated with a single emitting layer containing a hole-transporting host polymer,poly(N-vinylcarbzole),and an electron-transporting auxiliary,1,3-bis[(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl]-phenylene,codoped with two phosphorescent dyes:Iridium(III)bis (2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C2') picolinate (FIrpic) and home-made Ir-G2 for blue and red emission,respectively.With the structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS 4083(40 nm)/emission layer(80 nm)/Ba(4 nm)/Al(120 nm),the device showed a maximal luminous efficiency (LE) of 13.5 cd A-1(corresponding to an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.8%),and a peak power efficiency (PE) of 6.5 lm W-1 at 6.0 V.Meanwhile,the device exhibited pure white emission with Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.34,0.35) at a current density of 12 mA cm-2,which is very close to the equi-energy white point with CIE coordinates of (0.33,0.33).The device performance can be further optimized when more balanced hole/electron injection is achieved by incorporating a lower conducting type anode buffer layer (PEDOT:PSS) and incorporating poly[(9,9-bis(3'-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl)-2,7-fluorenene)-alt-2,7-(9,9-dioctyfluorene)] (PFN) as an electron injection layer at the cathode.The optimized device showed an LE of 24.6 cd A-1 (with an EQE of 14.1%),while the peak power efficiency reached 12.66 lm W-1.Moreover,the WPLEDs showed good electroluminescence (EL) stability over a wide range of operating current density and luminance.
