有机电致发光的效率

描述了评价有机电致发光性能的重要指标－－发光效率问题,从发光机制考虑,一般常用外量子效率和内量子效率来评价。外量子效率是有机电致发光器件输出光子数与注入电子数之比;内量子效率是产生在器件内部的光子数与液入电子数之比,对于光子能否输出到器件外部无关紧要。评价器件性能还有一些其他效率评价方法,如能量效率,功率效率等,特别是外功率效率（1m/W),电流效率（cd/A)也常常用于表征有机电致发光性能,但它们与发光光谱的视觉灵敏度有关,对紫外外辐射器件不适用,另外,利用三重态激子发射可以提高EL器件效率,理论上可达100％,器件结构及材料对器件外量子效率影响至关重要。     

新型有机电致蓝色磷光器件的研究

研究了基于FIrpic的超薄非掺杂有机电致蓝色磷光器件的光电特性.改变超薄非掺杂FIrpic发光层以及其隔离层的厚度,可以调控FIrpic分子的聚集及激子相互作用强度对器件性能的影响.研究结果表明,具有TCTA 5 nm/FIrpic 1 nm/TCTA 5 nm/FIrpic 1 nm/TPBI 5 nm/FIrpic 1 nm多发光层结构的器件性能较优,最大发光效率为9.9 cd/A,超薄非掺杂发光层结构避免了掺杂方法中共沉积磷光材料浓度的精确控制,有利于简化器件制备工艺.     

加入电子阻挡层的黄色磷光有机电致发光器件

使用绿色磷光材料GIr1和红色磷光材料R-4B作 为掺杂剂,制备了一种黄色磷光有机电致发光 器件(OLED),其结构为ITO/MoO₃(60nm)/NPB(40nm)/TCTA(x nm,x＝0、5、10和15)/CPB:GIr1:R -4B(30nm,14%,2%) /BCP(10nm) /Alq₃(40nm)/LiF(1nm)/Al( 100nm)。其中x＝0,5,10,5nm。通过在发光层与空穴传输层之间增 加电子阻挡层TCTA,使器件的效率得到提高。当TCTA厚为10nm时, 起亮电压为4V左右,器 件的最大发光效率为20.2cd/A,最高亮度可以达到21840cd/m²,器件的色坐标 为(0.42,0.53)。器件的EL主峰位于524nm 和604nm。并且当电流 密度为2.49mA/cm²时,10nm厚的TCTA 电子阻挡层的器件发光效率是不加入TCTA的器件发光效率的2倍。发光效率的提高是由于电 子阻挡层的加入限制了空穴传输层NPB的发光,从而使更多的激子在发光层中复合。

A Bipolar Host Material Containing Triphenylamine and Diphenylphosphoryl‐Substituted Fluorene Units for Highly Efficient Blue Electrophosphorescence

Highly efficient blue electrophosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes incorporating a bipolar host, 2,7‐bis(diphenylphosphoryl)‐9‐[4‐(N,N‐diphenylamino)phenyl]‐9‐phenylfluorene (POAPF), doped with a conventional blue triplet emitter, iridium(III) bis[(4,6‐difluoro‐phenyl)pyridinato‐N,C^2´]picolinate (FIrpic) are fabricated. The molecular architecture of POAPF features an electron‐donating (p‐type) triphenylamine group and an electron‐accepting (n‐type) 2,7‐bis(diphenyl‐phosphoryl)fluorene segment linked through the sp³‐hybridized C9 position of the fluorene unit. The lack of conjugation between these p‐ and n‐type groups endows POAPF with a triplet energy gap (E_T) of 2.75 eV, which is sufficiently high to confine the triplet excitons on the blue‐emitting guest. In addition, the built‐in bipolar functionality facilitates both electron and hole injection. As a result, a POAPF‐based device doped with 7 wt% FIrpic exhibits a very low turn‐on voltage (2.5 V) and high electroluminescence efficiencies (20.6% and 36.7 lm W^?1). Even at the practical brightnesses of 100 and 1000 cd m^?2, the efficiencies remain high (20.2%/33.8 lm W^?1 and 18.8%/24.3 lm W^?1, respectively), making POAPF a promising material for use in low‐power‐consumption devices for next‐generation flat‐panel displays and light sources.     

有机EL与无机EL和LCD的比较及其未来前景

通过比较有机EL与无机EL、LCD在平板显示应用方面的差异，展示了OELD的美好应用前景。由于无机薄膜EL缺乏高亮度蓝基色成分以及驱动电压是100V左右的交流，难于制成低压彩色超薄显示器；无机分散型EL屏采用的是十几微米厚的粉末材料，也难于制成高分辩率超薄显示器，因此它们都无法与OELD相比。OELD显示器体积可以是LCD的1/2，功耗也大低于LCD，所以OELD将有望取代LCD。评述了当前OELD的最新发展趋势：采用荧光染料掺杂式的模糊界面结构的电致荧光器件和采用荧光染料掺杂式的电致磷光器件是当前OELD发展的主要潮流。文中还评述了采用低折射率材料提高外量子效率的情况。     

High Efficiency White Organic Light‐Emitting Devices Incorporating Yellow Phosphorescent Platinum(II) Complex and Composite Blue Host

A new class of charge neutral, strongly luminescent cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes supported by dianionic tetradentate ligand are synthesized. One of these platinum(II) complexes, Y‐Pt , displays a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 86% and electroluminescence efficacy (η_power) of up to 52 lm W^?1, and is utilized as a yellow phosphorescent dopant in the fabrication of white organic light‐emitting devices (WOLEDs). WOLEDs based on conventional structures with yellow emission from Y‐Pt in combination with blue emission from bis(4,6‐difluorophenyl‐pyridinato‐N,C²′) (picolinate) iridium(III) (FIrpic) show a total η_power of up to 31 lm W^?1. A two‐fold increase in η_power by utilizing a modified WOLED structure comprising of a composite blue host is realized. With this modified device structure, the total η_power and driving voltage at a luminance of 1000 cd m^?2 can be improved to 61 lm W^?1 and 7.5 V (i.e., 10 V for control devices). The performance improvement is attributed to an effectively broaden exciton formation‐recombination zone and alleviation of localized exciton accumulation within the FIrpic‐doped composite host for reduced triplet‐triplet annihilation, yielding blue light‐emission with enhanced intensity. The modified device structure can also adopt a higher concentration of Y‐Pt towards its optimal value, leading to WOLEDs with high efficiency.

Bipolar Tetraarylsilanes as Universal Hosts for Blue,Green, Orange,and White Electrophosphorescence with High Efficiency and Low Efficiency Roll‐Off

A series of tetraarylsilane compounds, namely p‐BISiTPA ( 1 ), m‐BISiTPA ( 2 ), p‐OXDSiTPA ( 3 ), m‐OXDSiTPA ( 4 ), are designed and synthesized by incorporating electron‐donating arylamine and electron‐accepting benzimidazole or oxadiazole into one molecule via a silicon‐bridge linkage mode. Their thermal, photophysical and electrochemical properties can be finely tuned through the different groups and linking topologies. The para‐disposition compounds 1 and 3 display higher glass transition temperatures, slightly lower HOMO levels and triplet energies than their meta‐disposition isomers 2 and 4 , respectively. The silicon‐interrupted conjugation of the electron‐donating and electron‐accepting segments gives these materials the following advantages: i) relative high triplet energies in the range of 2.69–2.73 eV; ii) HOMO/LUMO levels of the compounds mainly depend on the electron‐donating and electron‐accepting groups, respectively; iii) bipolar transporting feature as indicated by hole‐only and electron‐only devices. These advantages make these materials ideal universal hosts for multicolor phosphorescent OLEDs. 1 and 3 have been demonstrated as universal hosts for blue, green, orange and white electrophosphorescence, exhibiting high efficiencies and low efficiency roll‐off. For example, the devices hosted by 1 achieve maximum external quantum efficiencies of 16.1% for blue, 22.7% for green, 20.5% for orange, and 19.1% for white electrophosphorescence. Furthermore, the external quantum efficiencies are still as high as 14.2% for blue, 22.4% for green, 18.9% for orange, and 17.4% for white electrophosphorescence at a high luminance of 1000 cd m^?2. The two‐color, all‐phosphor white device hosted by 3 acquires a maximum current efficiency of 51.4 cd A^?1, and a maximum power efficiency of 51.9 lm W^?1. These values are among the highest for single emitting layer white PhOLEDs reported till now.     

Confinement of Long‐Lived Triplet Excitons in Organic Semiconducting Host–Guest Systems

Long‐lived triplet excitons on organic molecules easily deactivate at room temperature because of the presence of thermally activated nonradiative pathways. This study demonstrates long‐lived phosphorescence at room temperature resulting from suppression of the nonradiative deactivation of triplet excitons in conventional organic semiconducting host–guest systems. The nonradiative deactivation pathway strongly depends on the triplet energy gap between the guest emitting molecules and the host matrices. The triplet energy gap required to confine the long‐lived triplet excitons (≈0.5 eV) is much larger than that of conventional host–guest systems for phosphorescent emitters. By effectively confining the triplet excitons, this study demonstrates long‐lived room‐temperature phosphorescence under optical and electrical excitation.
