Exciplex formation and electroluminescent absorption in ultraviolet organic light-emitting diodes

We investigated the formation of exciplex and electroluminescent absorption in ultraviolet organic light-emitting diodes（UV OLEDs） using different heterojunction structures.It is found that an energy barrier of over 0.3 eV between the emissive layer（EML） and adjacent transport layer facilitates exciplex formation.The electron blocking layer effectively confines electrons in the EML,which contributes to pure UV emission and enhances efficiency.The change in EML thickness generates tunable UV emission from 376 nm to 406 nm.In addition,the UV emission excites low-energy organic function layers and produces photoluminescent emission.In UV OLED,avoiding the exciplex formation and averting light absorption can effectively improve the purity and efficiency.A maximum external quantum efficiency of 1.2%with a UV emission peak of 376 nm is realized.

芴类衍生物有机电致发光器件中的激基复合物

利用紫外-可见光吸收光谱和荧光发光(PL)光谱,研究了新型芴类小分子材料2,3-bis(9,9-dihexyl-9H-flu-oren-2-yl)-6,7-difluoroquinoxaline(F2Py)的本征光谱特性,并制备了基于F2Py的有机电致发光器件(OLEDs),讨论了器件的电致发光(EL)光谱。结果表明,F2Py在溶液状态下的本征PL峰值位于452 nm,在薄膜状态下的本征PL峰值位于448 nm,而F2Py与NPB的混合物的PL发光峰在544 nm。在器件的EL光谱中,观察到了位于530~550 nm范围的激基复合物发光峰,以及来自F2Py与NPB激子发光的共同作用形成的位于430nm左右的肩峰。当F2Py层厚度为50 nm时,器件的启亮电压为17 V,最高亮度为58 cd/m2;而当F2Py厚度为20 nm并加入了Alq3(10 nm)做电子传输层(ETL)时,器件启亮电压为8 V,最高亮度为5030 cd/m2,EL性能大大提高。
