Synthesis and Color-tunable Fluorescence Properties of Schiff Base Zinc (II) Complexes Used as Electroluminescent Materials

Four kinds of bis(N-alkylsalicylaldiminato) zinc(II) complexes were synthesized, and their molecular structures were determined by FT-IR and elemental analysis. Their photoluminescence properties were determined, which indicated that they could emit strong fluorescence varying from blue to yellow to reddish orange depending on their different molecular structures. They had good thermostability, solubility and film forming capability, and can be used as organic lectroluminescent materials. These new complexes may afford the feasibility to realize full-color display with materials based on similar molecular structures.

A Stable Blue Organic Electroluminescent Material

In order to compare two kinds of blue electroluminescent materials, we have investigated two kinds of blue OLEDs with the similar structrue ITO/CuPc/NPB/JBEM: perylene/Alq/Mg:Ag [device(J)] and ITO/CuPc/NPB/DPVBi: perylene/Alq/Mg:Ag [device(D)]. The difference of luminance and efficiency was not obvious for the two devices. However, there was remarkable difference for their lifetime. The device(J) achieved longer half lifetime of 1035 h at initial luminance of 100 cd/m 2, and that of device(D) was only 255 h. According to their energy level diagrams , the difference of their stability may originate from different host materials in the two devices. It may be attributed to the better thermal stability of JBEM molecules than that of DPVBi. It is shown that JBEM may be a promising blue organic electroluminescent material with great stability.

Synthesis of a Novel Blue- light- emitting Polymer Material Bearing Coumarin Pendants

A novel blue luminescent polymer bearing coumarin pendants was prepared. Its luminescent properties were determined indicating that it had strong blue fluorescent properties and good film formation ability. This novel polymer can be used as a blue organic electroluminescent material (OELM) in organic electroluminescent devices.

A New Distyrylarylene Derivative Used as Blue Light Emitter in Organic Electroluminescent Device

A new blue electroluminescent material, distyrylarylene(DSA) derivative, 4,4' bis[2,2 (1 naphthyl,phenyl)vinyl] 1,1' biphenyl(NPVBi) is designed and synthesized. The DSA derivative shows better thermal stability because of its high glass transition temperature. A blue organic light emitting diode(OLED) with the structure ITO/TPD/NPVBi/Alq/LiF/Al is studied. The electroluminescent(EL) spectrum of the OLED exhibits that light emission originates from NPVBi with a peak at 460 nm, its Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE) color coordinates are x=0.16, y=0.15, and showing independence of CIE color coordinates on current density. The new DSA derivative is expectable as a new candidate for blue light emitter in OLEDs.

Synthesis of a New Family of Green Light Emitting Material Containing Both Hole and Electron Transporting Units

Two new molecules containing oxadiazoles and triphenylamine-stilbene moiety were synthesized. Their luminescent properties were determined, which indicated that they had strong green fluorescent properties. All the two molecules can be used as green organic electrolumine- scence materials.

Synthesis of Pyrazolines Used as Blue Organic Electroluminescence Materials

Three kinds of pyrazolines were designed and synthesized. Their structures were elucidated by IR, (HNMR)-H-1, MS, UV and elemental analysis. Their luminescent properties were determined, which indicated that they had strong blue fluorescent properties. One of them was designed to have good film formation. All the three kinds of pyrazolines can be used as blue organic electroluminescence materials (OELMs).

Synthesis of Two Blue-light emitting Complexes with Schiff Base Calixarene as the Ligand

Two new blue luminescent zinc and beryllium complexes with Schiff base calixarene derivative as the ligand were prepared. Their luminescent properties were determined, which indicated that they had strong blue fluorescent properties. They also had good solubility and film formation. These new complexes can be used as blue organic electroluminescent materials (OELMs) in organic electroluminescent devices.
