Blue Phosphorescent

Solution-processed blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) based on a single emission layer with small-molecule hole-transport materials (HTMs) are demonstrated. Various HTMs have been readily incorporated by solution-processing to enhance hole-transport properties of the polymer-based emission layer. Poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK)-based blue emission layer with iridium(III) bis(4,6-(di-fluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C2′)picolinate (FIrpic) triplet emitter blended with solution-processed 1,1-bis[(di-4-tolylamino)phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC) gave luminous efficiency of 21.1 cd/A at a brightness of 6220 cd/m2 with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 10.6%. Blue PHOLEDs with solution-incorporated HTMs turned out to be 50% more efficient compared to the reference device without HTMs. The high hole mobility, high triplet energy of HTM, and favorable energy transfer between HTM blended PVK host and FIrpic blue dopant were found to be important factors for achieving high device performance. The results are instructive to design and/or select proper hole-transport materials in solution-processed single emission layer.

Triplet Harvesting

ABSTRACTOrganic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are developing into a competitive alternative to conventional light sources. Nevertheless, OLEDs need further improvement in terms of efficiency and color rendering for lighting applications. Fluorescent blue emitters allow deep blue emission and high stability, while phosphorescent blue emitter still suffer from insufficient stability. The concept of triplet harvesting is the key for achieving internal quantum efficiencies up to 100 % and simultaneously benefiting from the advantages of fluorescent blue emitters. Here, we present a stacked OLED consisting of two units comprising four different emitters in total. The first unit takes advantage of the concept of triplet harvesting and combines the light emission of a fluorescent blue and a phosphorescent red emitter. The second unit emits light from a single emission layer consisting of a matrix doped with phosphorescent green and yellow emitters. With this approach, we reach white color coordinates close to the standard illuminant A and a color rendering index of above 75. The presented devices are characterized by high luminous efficacies of above 30 lm/W on standard glass substrates without outcoupling enhancement.
