The thermal stability, UV absorption and photoluminescent properties of this iridium complex were investigated. Compared with iridium (Ⅲ) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N, C^2](picolinate) reported as a highly-efficient blue electroluminescent material, this iridium complex bearing an oxadiazole-based picolinic acid derivative presents higher thermal stability, more intense UV absorption at 291 nm and similar photoluminescent spectrum peaked at 469 nm. This indicates that tuning ancillary ligand of picolinic acid with an oxadiazole unit can improve the optophysical properties of its iridium complex.展开更多

The Tb(p-CIBA)3phen was doped into PVK to improve the filmforming and hole-transporting property. Two kinds of devices were fabricated. The device structure is as the following. Single-layer device: ITO/PVK: Tb (p-CIBA) 3 phen /LiF/Al; double-layer device: ITO/PVK: Tb(p-CIBA)3phen/AIQ/LiF/AI. The performances of both devices were investigated carefully. We found that the emission of PVK was completely restrained,and only the green emission was observed from the electroluminescence. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) was less than 10 nm. The highest EL brighthess of the single-layer device is 25.4 cd/cm^2 at a fixed bias of 18 V,and the highest EL brightness of the double-layer device reaches 234.8 cd/cm^2 at a voltage of 20 V.展开更多

Organic electroluminescent material, one of the centerpieces of OLEDs, has been the focus of studies by many material scientists. To obtain high luminosity and to keep material costs low, a few remarkable design concepts have been developed. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials were invented to overcome the common fluorescence-quenching problem, and cross-dipole stacking of fluorescent molecules was shown to be an effective method to get high solid-state luminescence. To exceed the limit of internal quantum efficiency of conventional fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials were successfully applied in highly efficient electroluminescent devices. Most recently, delayed flu- orescent materials via reverse-intersystem crossing (RISC) from triplet to singlet and the "hot exciton" materials based on hy- bridized local and charge-transfer (HLCT) states were developed to he a new generation of low-cost luminescent materials as efficient as phosphorescent materials. In terms of the device-fabrication process, solution-processible small molecular lumi- nescent materials possess the advantages of high purity (vs. polymers) and low procession cost (vs. vacuum deposition), which are garnering them increasing attention. Herein, we review the progress of the development of small-molecule luminescent materials with different design concepts and features, and also briefly examine future development tendencies of luminescent materials.展开更多
