ABSTRACTWe study the current-voltage characteristics of both double and single carrier polymer light emitting devices in the high intensity electrical excitation regime. Single layer devices are investigated with the orange-emitting MEH-PPV as the active polymer. Performing very low duty (≈0.001 %) pulsed electroluminescence measurements with electric fields up to 1*109 V/m, we observe for the hole-dominated devices a space charge limited current with a saturating mobility and a saturating external quantum efficiency of 1%. For double carrier devices, the current starts to saturate in the high-field regime, appoaching Ohmic-like behavior. We report current densities of 100 A/cm2and brightnesses of 7*105 cd/m2. The spectral features are monitored below the onset of degradation.

ABSTRACTA series of tetrahedral tetramers of 2,5-diphenyl substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds were synthesized and characterized for electron-transporting layer (ETL) in organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The multiple-branch design of the oxadiazole tetramers intends to increase the melting temperature and to generate glass phase of the low molar mass derivative such as 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD). We observed temperatures of the glass phase transition for the oxadiazole tetramer with appropriate peripheral substituents, indicative of amorphous characteristics of the molecule in spite of highly symmetrical molecular framework. The luminescence-current-voltage characteristics of multilayer OLED devices containing the oxadiazole tetramer or PBD as ETL were examined to evaluate the efficiency of our multiple-branch molecular design.

ABSTRACTNanocomposites consisting of GaSb nanocrystals in a conducting polymer matrix were fabricated and investigated. The current-voltage characteristics of the nanocomposite-based diode structures have a symmetric but strongly nonlinear character. Capacitance-voltage characteristics of the structures were investigated both in the dark and under illumination and compared with those of a pure polymer. At applied voltages exceeding 7–10 V (for different samples) electroluminescence begins and steeply increases. The position of the maximum of the measured electroluminescence spectra can be made to vary in the 1.3 – 1.6 μm wavelengths region by changing nanocrystal size. Photoluminescence spectra have a maximum nearly coinciding with that of electroluminescence but of considerably larger width. The results demonstrate the promise of GaSb-based nanocomposites for infrared light-emitting devices operating in the 1.3–1.6 μm spectral region used in optical communication systems.

Both yellow and white polymer light-emitting devices are achieved using novel yellow phosphorescent iridium complexes with triphenylamine- and fluorene-functionalized cyclometalating ligands as dopants.
