Fabrication of Green Electroluminescent Devices

A gadolinium ternary complex, tris(1 phenyl 3 methyl 4 isobutyryl 5 pyrazolone) (2, 2′ dipyridyl) gadolinium Gd(PMIP) 3(Bipy) was synthesized and used as a light emitting material in the organic electroluminescent devices. The devices exhibited the green electroluminescent (EL) emission peaking at 513 nm, originating from the Gd(PMIP) 3(Bipy). By improving the configuration, the device with a structure of ITO/poly(N vinylcarbazole) (PVK) (40 nm)/Gd(PMIP) 3(Bipy) (40 nm)/tris (8 hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (ALQ) (40 nm)/Mg∶Ag(200 nm)/Ag(100 nm) showed higher performance and a maximum luminance of 340 cd·m -2 at 18 V.

Organic Thin Film Electroluminescent Passive Matrix Display

Long life green emitting matrix display based on organic light emitting diode is reported. The pixel number is 96×60, equivalent pixel size 0.4×0.4 mm 2, and the pixel gap 0.1 mm. An image with no crosstalk between pixels is obtained. The average luminance of these pixels at duty cycle of 1/64 is 100 cd/m 2, and the power consumption is 0.6 W. The dark room contrast of 1∶100 is achieved without using a polarization filter.

Green Light-Emitting Organic Electroluminescent Device with a New Fluorescent Dye Dispersed in Poly(N-vinylcarbazole) Emitter Layer

Double-layer organic electroluminescent devices have been constructed. A new fluorescent dye, 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracence, was chosen as the dopant which was molecularly dispersed in the polymer film, and green light was observed from the device with luminance of 130cd/m(2) at 17V.

Improved Performance of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with MgF2 as the Anode Buffer Layer

Organic light-emitting diodes （OLEDs） based on N,N＇-bis（1-naphthyl）-N,N＇-diphenyl-1,l1＇-biphenyl-4,4＇-diamine （NPB） and tris （8-hydroxyquinoline） aluminium （Alq3 ） are improved by using a thin MgF2 buffer layer sandwiched between the indium tin oxide （ITO） anode and hole transporting layer （HTL） of NPB. The current-voltage curves of the OLEDs with MgF2 buffers shift to lower voltages, which can be explained by the tunnelling effect. Under 10 V bias, the current density and brightness for the optimized OLED with a 1.0-nm MgF2 are 196A/m^2 and 517cd/m^2, respectively, while for the OLED without anode buffer layer are only 109A/m^2 and 156cd/m^2, The atomic force microscopy shows that the rms roughness of NPB on ITO/MgF2 is only 1/3 of NPB on bare ITO. The improved morphology of the HTL would lead to more robust OLEDs. The OLED with a 1.0-nm MgF2 layer has a long lifetime of more than five times of the MgF2-free reference device due to the combined electrical and morphological effects of the MgF2 layer.

Improved Performances for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Al2O3-Treated Indium-Tin Oxide Anode

Improved performances are obtained in organic light-emitting diodes （OLEDs） based on the indium-tin oxide （ITO） anode processed with ultrasonic in Al2O3 polishing solution. By optimizing the Al2O3 granularity to 0.6μm and the ultrasonic time to 10min, smoother ITO surfaces are acquired, which lead to the enhanced hole injection, and furthermore, to improving the performance of OLEDs. Compared with the control device without any treatment, the drive voltage of treatment device falls from 9 V to 6 V at 100cd/m^2, the luminance is over three times that of the control device, reaching 25880cd/m^2 at 15 V, and the luminous efficiency is 3.82cd/A.

Enhancement of Stability of Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes by Post Annealing

We investigate the effect of thermal annealing before and after cathode deposition on the stability of polymer light-emitting diodes （PLEDs） based on green fluorescent polyfluorene derivative. The annealed PLEDs exhibit improved charge transport and red-shift emission compared to the as-fabricated device. The stability of the PLEDs is largely enhanced by post-annealing before and after Ca deposition, which is attributed to the enhanced charge transport and the intimate contact between the cathode and the emissive layer.

Miscibility and Molecular Orientation of Carbazole in Mixed Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett Films

We report the miscibility and molecular orientation of carbazole （CA） molecules in the mixed Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett （LB） films of CA in polymethyl methacrylate （PMMA） and stearic acid （SA） matrices. The lr-A isotherm confirms the formation of stable Langmuir films of CA mixed with either PMMA or SA at airwater interface. ＇Characteristics of area per molecule versus molefraction and collapse pressure versus molefraction reveal complete demixing of CA and the matrix PMMA/SA molecules in the mixed films. Absorption spectroscopy certainly confirms the fact that CA molecules have preferred orientation on the substrate of the LB films.

Improvements of the Analytical Model of Monte Carlo

By extending the conduction band structure, we set up a new analytical model in ZnS. Compared the results with both the old analytical model and the full band model, it is found that they are possibly in reasonable agreement with the full band method and we can improve the calculation precision. Another important work is to reduce the programme computation time using the method of data fitting scattering rate curves.
