Triplet Exciton Transition Induced Highly Efficient Fluorescent Channel in Organic Electroluminescence

The in.jection of charge carriers from the electron/hole injection or transport layers in polymer light-emitting diodes potentially increases the device efficiency not by changing of charge intensity but by lattice distortion variation and quasi-particle interactions. From the low-dimensional condensed matter physics perspective, a valid mechanism is proposed to bring a type of novel channels that, under a proper external electric field, transition- forbidden triplet excitons are transformed and partially charged by charge carriers （polarons/bipolarons）, thus are able to emit light and to enhance fluorescence greatly.

Exciplex formation and properties at organic solid interface in organic light emitting devices

Organic multiple quantum wells(OMQWs) consisting of alternating layers of organic materials have been fabricated from tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum(Alq)and 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tertbutylphenyl)-1,3,3-oxadiazole(PBD) by a multisource-type high-vacuum organic molecular deposition.From the small-angle X-ray diffraction patterns of Alq/PBD OMQWs,a periodically layered structure is confirmed through the entire stack.The Alq layer thickness in the OMQWs was varied from 1 nm to 4 nm.From the optical absorption,photoluminescence and electroluminescence measurements,it is found that the exciton energy shifts to higher energy with decreasing Alq layer thickness,The changes of the exciton energy could be interpreted as the confinement effects of exciton in the Alq thin layers.Narrowing of the emission spectrum has also been observed for the electroluminescent devices (ELDs) with the OMQWs structure at room temperature.

Significant improvement of OLED efficiency and stability by doping both HTL and ETL with different dopant in heterojunction of polymer/small-molecules

This paper reports that the polymer/organic heterojunction doped light-emitting diodes using a novel poly-TPD as hole transport material and doping both hole transport layer and emitter layer with the highly fluorescent rubrene and DCJTB has been successfully fabricated. The basic structure of the heterostructure is PTPD/Alq3. When hole transport layer and electron transport layer are doped simultaneously with different dopant, the electrol quantum efficiencies are about 3 times greater than that of the undoped device. Compared with undoped device and conventional TPD/Alq3 diode, the stability of the doping device is significantly improved. The process of emission for doped device may include carrier trapping as well as FSrster energy transfer.

Blue Emission from Exciplex in Electroluminescent Devices Made from Vinyl Polymer and Oxadiazole Derivative

Two types of molecular and polymer devices employing (2-(4′-biphenyl)-5-(4″-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole) (PBD) and poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) as electron transport and hole transport materials, respectively, have been fabricated. The structures of these two devices are ITO/PVK(70 nm)/PBD(60 nm)/Al and ITO/PVK∶PBD(1∶1 by mass, 70 nm)/Al. The formation of exciplex is evident by comparing the electroluminescence (EL) of a bi-layer device and the photoluminescence (PL) of a PVK and PBD mixed film. The maximum emission energy of exciplex evaluated is consistent with the peak emission of EL. Blue emissions from both devices are obtained. The type of exicplex is interpreted based on the energy level diagram of the bi-layer device.

Influences of Injection Barrier and Mobility on Recombination Rate and Zone in OLEDs

The luminous efficiency of organic light-emitting devices depends on the recombination probability of electrons injected at the cathode and holes at the anode. A theoretical model to calculate the distribution of current densities and the recombination rate in organic single layer devices is presented taking into account the charge injection process at each electrode, charge transport and recombination in organic layer. The calculated results indicate that efficient single-layer devices are possible by adjusting the barrier heights at two electrodes and the carrier mobilities. Lowering the barrier heights can improve the electroluminescent(EL) efficiency pronouncedly in many cases, and efficient devices are still possible using an ohmic contact to inject the low mobility carrier, and a contact limited contact to inject the high mobility carrier. All in all, high EL efficiency needs to consider sufficient recombination, enough injected carriers and well transport.

SYNTHESIS OF NEW POLY (p-PHENYLENEVINYLENE) DERIVATIVES WITH IMPROVED SOLUBILITY

PPV-based copolymers with cyano group in the main chain have been synthesized by Wittig-type polycondensation of alkoxy-substituted dialdehydes and 4,4’-bis(cyanomethyl)-substituted diphenyl ether: [―C6H4―O―C6H4―C(CN)(CH―C6H2(OR)2―C(C(CN)―]n (POPPV). The copolymers are highly soluble in common solvents and their super highly transparent homogeneous thin films can be formed by spin coating directly without heat treatment. The chemical structures are determined by NMR and IR spectroscopys and evaluated using photoluminescence, gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) and DSC (or TGA) methods. The incorporation of ether group into the PPV backbone has an interruption of the main-chain conjugation, that results in the blue-shift of electroluminescence spectra and enhancement the solubility.

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.
