A cationic iridium(iii) complex with formula [Ir(ppy)2(pybmz)]+(PF6)– (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine; pybmz = 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-hexylbenzimidazole) was synthesised. The photoluminescence spectrum of the complex showed an orange–red emission peak at 590 nm with a quantum efficiency of 18 % and a luminescence lifetime of 1.2 µs in solid state. The complex was used as a phosphorescent dopant in light-emitting diodes with the configuration ITO/PEDOT : PSS(50 nm)/PVK (70) : PBD (30) : complex (x wt-%, x = 5, 20, 50, 100)(75nm)/TPBI(50nm)/Ba(4 nm)/Al(150 nm) [ITO = indium tin oxide; PEDOT = poly(ethylenedioxythiophene); PSS = poly(styrene sulfonic acid); PVK = polyvinylcarbazole; PBD = 5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-(bi-phenyl-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole; TPBI = 1,3,5-tris-(2-N-phenylbenzimidazolyl) benzene]. The best device performances were obtained for the non-doped (100 wt-%) material, with an external quantum efficiency of 5.6 %, a luminous efficiency of 9.3 cd A–1, and a power efficiency of 3 lm W–1. High brightness of 8700 cd m–2 and luminous efficiency of 8 cd A–1 were realised at a current density of 110 mA cm–2.

Here, red phosphorescent platinum(II) complexes based on tetradentate pyridine-containing lig-ands are studied. To investigate their electroluminescent properties, multilayer devices were fabricated in the following sequence; ITO (180 nm)/4,4′,4″-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine (2-TNATA) (30 nm)/N, N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-1,1′-biphenyl)4,4′-diamine (NPB) (20 nm)/ Tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA) (10 nm)/4,4′-Bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (CBP) (20 nm)/Platinum(II) complex (20 nm)/1,3,5-Tris(1-Phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene) (TPBi) (40 nm)/Liq (2 nm)/Al (100 nm). In particularly, a device using platinum(II) complex based on N-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)benzenamineligand showed the efficient red emission, with a luminous efficiency, power efficiency, and external quantum efficiency of, and the Commission International de LEclairge (CIE) coordinates of 27.26 cd/A, 10.54 lm/W, 8.50% at 20 mA/cm2, and (0.65, 0.33) at 11.0 V, respectively.

In this study, we synthesized and characterized two novel deep blue emitting materials based on indenoquinoline-substituted phenylanthracene derivatives. Multilayer organic light-emitting diodes were fabricated with the following sequence: indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/4,4′,4″-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino (2-TNATA)/4,4′-bis(N-N-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino) biphenyl (NPB)/Blue emitting material (1 or 2)/Bathophenanthroline (Bphen)/lithium quinolate (Liq)/Al. A device B using ‘7,7-dimethyl-9-(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl)-7H-indeno[1,2-f] isoquinoline (2)’ as an emitter showed the efficient emission with the luminous efficiency, power efficiency, and external quantum efficiency of 2.30 cd/A, 1.02 lm/W, 2.94% at 20 mA/cm2, respectively. This device exhibited deep-blue emission with the Commission Internationale De LÉnclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.16, 0.08) and λmax = 436 nm at 8.0 V.

An effect of bilayer cathode Li2O/Al was studied in Alq3 based organic light-emitting diodes with a variation of Li2O layer thickness. The current-luminance-voltage characteristics of ITO/TPD/Alq3/Li2O/Al device were measured at ambient condition to investigate the effect of Li2O/Al. It was found that when the thickness of Li2O layer is in the range of 0.5∼1 nm, there are improvements in luminance, efficiency, and turn-on voltage of the device. A current density and a luminance are increased by about 100 times, a turn-on voltage is lowered from 6 V to 3 V, a maximum current efficiency is improved by a factor of 2.3, and a maximum power efficiency is improved by a factor of 3.2 for a device with a use of thin Li2O layer compared to those of the one without the Li2O layer. These improvements are thought to be due to a lowering of electron-barrier height for electron injection from the cathode to the emissive layer.

Highly efficient blue fluorescent 7,7-dimethyl-9-(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl)-7H-benzo[6,7]indeno[1,2- f]quinoline derivatives, based on benzo-indeno-quinoline and phenylanthracene were designed and synthesized. To test their electroluminescent properties, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated with the configuration of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) (150 nm)/4,4′,4″-Tris[2- naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine (2-TNATA) (30 nm)/N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-1,1′- biphenyl)4,4′-diamine (NPB) (20 nm)/blue emitting materials (20 nm)/bathophenanthroline (Bphen) (30 nm)/Liq (2 nm)/Al (100 nm). The devices using these blue materials as emitters showed efficient blue emission. Particularly, a device employing 7,7-dimethyl-9-(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl)-7Hbenzo[ 6,7]indeno[1,2-f]quinoline as an emitting layer yielded the best performance with a luminous efficiency (LE), power efficiency (PE), and external quantum efficiency (EQE) and the Commission International de L’Eclairge (CIE) coordinates of 4.60 cd/A, 3.07 lm/W, 4.32% at 20 mA/cm2, and (0.16, 0.12) at 8.0 V, respectively.
