AbstractAlthough significant progress has been made in the development of light-emitting materials for organic light-emitting diodes along with the elucidation of emission mechanisms, the electron injection/transport mechanism remains unclear, and the materials used for electron injection/transport have been basically unchanged for more than 20 years. Here, we unravelled the electron injection/transport mechanism by tuning the work function near the cathode to about 2.0 eV using a superbase. This extremely low-work function cathode allows direct electron injection into various materials, and it was found that organic materials can transport electrons independently of their molecular structure. On the basis of these findings, we have realised a simply structured blue organic light-emitting diode with an operational lifetime of more than 1,000,000 hours. Unravelling the electron injection/transport mechanism, as reported in this paper, not only greatly increases the choice of materials to be used for devices, but also allows simple device structures.

For predicting life for light-emitting devices quickly and accurately, a novel life prediction model, namely an extrapolation model of accelerated life and stress, has been proposed. In this model, a Weibull function is employed to fit luminance decay data under multiple groups of accelerated stresses, and the corresponding accelerated life is obtained. By determination coefficients and root mean square errors, a power function is determined as an extrapolated function to describe the relationship between accelerated life and stress and the life of the light-emitting devices. For organic light-emitting diodes, three groups of constant-stress accelerated degradation tests were conducted by increasing current stress. An extrapolation model of accelerated life and stress was applied to process the collected luminance decay data and was evaluated by a careful comparison with organic light-emitting diode life. The results indicate that the self-designed experimental scheme for organic light-emitting diode is feasible and versatile; the predicted life is 17,113 hours, which is close to the service life derived from user feedback, and the relative error is only 2.2%. This shows that the extrapolation model of accelerated life and stress has high precision; the model reveals the expected law of luminance changing with time and intuitively depicts the life characteristics under accelerated stresses without conventional life tests. This will pave the way for a new method to predict and evaluate the life of modern light-emitting devices.

Soft and conformable optoelectronic devices for wearable and implantable electronics require mechanical stretchability. However, very few researches have been done for intrinsically stretchable light-emitting diodes. Here, we present an intrinsically stretchable organic light-emitting diode, whose constituent materials are all highly stretchable. The resulting intrinsically stretchable organic light-emitting diode can emit light when exposed to strains as large as 80%. The turn-on voltage is as low as 8 V, and the maximum luminance, which is a summation of the luminance values from both the anode and cathode sides, is 4400 cd m−2. It can also survive repeated stretching cycles up to 200 times, and small stretching to 50% is shown to substantially enhance its light-emitting efficiency.
