Solubilised bright blue-emitting iridium complexes for solution processed OLEDs.

ABSTRACT: Combining a sterically bulky, electron-deficient 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)pyridine (dFMesppy) cyclometalating C^?N ligand with an electron rich, highly rigidified 1,1'-(?,?'-o-xylylene)-2,2'-biimidazole (o-xylbiim) N^?N ligand gives an iridium complex, [Ir(dFMesppy)₂(o-xylbiim)](PF₆), that achieves extraordinarily bright blue emission (?_PL = 90%; ?_max = 459 nm in MeCN) for a cationic iridium complex. This complex is compared with two reference complexes bearing 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine, and solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been fabricated from these materials.

Bis-Tridentate Iridium(III) Phosphors with Very High Photostability and Fabrication of Blue-Emitting OLEDs.

Project description:Sky-blue and blue-emitting, carbazolyl functionalized, bis-tridentate Ir(III) phosphors Cz-1-Cz-3 with bright emission and short radiative lifetime are successfully synthesized in a one-pot manner. They exhibit very high photostability against UV-vis irradiation in degassed toluene, versus both green and true-blue-emitting reference compounds, i.e., fac-[Ir(ppy)3] and mer-[Ir(pmp)3]. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on Cz-2 exhibit maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 21.6%, EQE of 15.1% at 100 cd m-2, and with CIE x,y coordinates of (0.17, 0.25). This study provides a conceptual solution to the exceedingly stable and efficient blue phosphor. It is promising that long lifespan blue OLED based on these emitters can be attained with further engineering of devices suitable for commercial application.

Pyrene-Based Blue AIEgen: Enhanced Hole Mobility and Good EL Performance in Solution-Processed OLEDs.

Project description:Organic luminogens with strong solid-state emission have attracted much attention for their widely practical applications. However, the traditional organic luminogens with planar conformations often suffer from the notorious aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect in solid state for the ?-? stacking. Here, a highly efficient blue emitter TPE-4Py with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect is achieved by combining twisted tetraphenylethene (TPE) core and planar pyrene peripheries. When the emitter was spin-coated in non-doped OLEDs with or without a hole-transporting layer, comparable EL performance was achieved, showing the bifunctional property as both an emitter and a hole-transporting layer. Furthermore, its EL efficiency was promoted in doped OLED, even at a high doping concentration (50%), because of its novel AIE effect, with a current efficiency up to 4.9 cd/A at 484 nm.

Solution-Processed OLEDs Based on Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Copper(I) Complexes with Intraligand Charge-Transfer Excited State.

Project description:A new series of tetrahedral heteroleptic copper(I) complexes exhibiting efficient thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in green to orange electromagnetic spectral regions has been developed by using D-A type N^N ligand and P^P ligands. Their structures, electrochemical, photophysical, and electroluminescence properties have been characterized. The complexes exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of up to 0.71 at room temperature in doped film and the lifetimes are in a wide range of 4.3-24.1 μs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the complexes reveal the lowest-lying intraligand charge-transfer excited states that are localized on the N^N ligands. Solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on one of the new emitters show a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.96%.

All solution-processed stable white quantum dot light-emitting diodes with hybrid ZnO@TiO? as blue emitters.

Project description:White quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) have been a promising candidate for high-efficiency and color-saturated displays. However, it is challenging to integrate various QD emitters into one device and also to obtain efficient blue QDs. Here, we report a simply solution-processed white QD-LED using a hybrid ZnO@TiO? as electron injection layer and ZnCdSeS QD emitters. The white emission is obtained by integrating the yellow emission from QD emitters and the blue emission generated from hybrid ZnO@TiO? layer. We show that the performance of white QD-LEDs can be adjusted by controlling the driving force for hole transport and electroluminescence recombination region via varying the thickness of hole transport layer. The device is demonstrated with a maximum luminance of 730 cd/m(2) and power efficiency of 1.7 lm/W, exhibiting the Commission Internationale de l'Enclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). The unencapsulated white QD-LED has a long lifetime of 96 h at its initial luminance of 730 cd/m(2), primarily due to the fact that the device with hybrid ZnO@TiO? has low leakage current and is insensitive to the oxygen and the moisture. These results indicate that hybrid ZnO@TiO? provides an alternate and effective approach to achieve high-performance white QD-LEDs and also other optoelectronic devices.

Solution-processed transparent blue organic light-emitting diodes with graphene as the top cathode.

Project description:Graphene thin films have great potential to function as transparent electrodes in organic electronic devices, due to their excellent conductivity and high transparency. Recently, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)have been successfully demonstrated to possess high luminous efficiencies with p-doped graphene anodes. However, reliable methods to fabricate n-doped graphene cathodes have been lacking, which would limit the application of graphene in flexible electronics. In this paper, we demonstrate fully solution-processed OLEDs with n-type doped multilayer graphene as the top electrode. The work function and sheet resistance of graphene are modified by an aqueous process which can also transfer graphene on organic devices as the top electrodes. With n-doped graphene layers used as the top cathode, all-solution processed transparent OLEDs can be fabricated without any vacuum process.

High-Energy-Level Blue Phosphor for Solution-Processed White Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with Efficiency Comparable to Fluorescent Tubes.

Project description:A high-energy-level blue phosphor FIr-p-OC8 has been developed for solution-processed white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) with comparable fluorescent tube efficiency. Benefiting from the electron-donating nature of the introduced alkoxy, FIr-p-OC8 shows not only efficient blue light but also elevated highest occupied molecular orbital/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital levels to well match the dendritic host H2. Consequently, the hole scattering between FIr-p-OC8 and H2 can be prevented to favor the direct exciton formation on the blue phosphor, leading to reduced driving voltage and thus improved power efficiency. By exploiting this approach, a maximum power efficiency of 68.5 lm W-1 is achieved for FIr-p-OC8-based white devices, slightly declining to 47.0 lm W-1 at a practical luminance of 1,000 cd m-2. This efficiency can be further raised to 96.3 lm W-1 @ 1,000 cd m-2 when a half-sphere is applied to increase light out-coupling. We believe that our results can compete with commercial fluorescent tubes, representing an important progress in solution-processed WOLEDs.

Tuning the Geometrical Structures and Optical Properties of Blue-Emitting Iridium(III) Complexes through Dimethylamine Substitutions: A Theoretical Study.

Project description:The geometrical structures and photophysical properties of Ir(4,6-dFppy)?(pic) (FIrpic) and its derivative (o-FIr, m-FIr, p-FIr) with dimethylamine substituted at the picolinic acid (N?O) ligand were fully investigated by density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory. The simulated electronic structure, as well as absorption and emission spectra of FIrpic are in good agreement with the experimental observations. The introduction of dimethylamine at the N?O ligand at different positions is beneficial to extend the ?-electron delocalization, increase HOMO energy levels, and hence improve the hole injection and transfer ability compared with those of FIrpic. Furthermore, o-FIr, m-FIr, and p-FIr have large absorption intensity and participation of metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) contribution in the main absorption spectra, which would be useful to improve the intersystem crossing (ISC) from the singlet to triplet excited state. More importantly, the high quantum yield of o-FIr (which is explained based on the detailed analysis of triplet energy, ET1), participation of ³MLCT contribution in the phosphorescent spectra, and energy difference between ³MLCT and triplet metal centered (³MC) d-d excited state compared with m-FIr and p-FIr indicate that o-FIr is expected to be an excellent blue phosphorescence emitter with high efficiency.

Effect of TADF Assistance on Performance Enhancement in Solution Processed Green Phosphorescent OLEDs.

Project description:Many methods have been proposed to increase the efficiency of organic electroluminescent materials applied as an emissive layer in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Herein, we demonstrate enhancement of electroluminescence efficiency and operational stability solution processed OLEDs by employing thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules as assistant dopants in host-guest systems. The TADF assistant dopant (SpiroAC-TRZ) is used to facilitate efficient energy transfer from host material poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) to a phosphorescent Ir(III) emitter. We present the analysis of energy transfer and charge trapping-two main processes playing a crucial role in light generation in host-guest structure OLEDs. The investigation of photo-, electro- and thermoluminescence for the double-dopant layer revealed that assistant dopant does not only harvest and transfer the electrically generated excitons to phosphorescent emitter molecules but also creates exciplexes. The triplet states of formed PVK:SpiroAC-TRZ exciplexes are involved in the transport process of charge carriers and promote long-range exciton energy transfer to the emitter, improving the efficiency of electroluminescence in a single emissive layer OLED, resulting in devices with luminance exceeding 18 000 cd/m2 with a luminous efficiency of 23 cd/A and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.4%.

Design of efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence blue host for high performance solution-processed hybrid white organic light emitting diodes.

Project description:Developing a solution-processible blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter for hybrid white organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs) is still a challenge. In this work, two TADF blue emitters are designed and synthesized to explore a common strategy to qualify the small molecular TADF material as a solution-processible blue host. Systematic studies find that the molecular encapsulation by introducing unconjugated carbazoles as steric shields not only keeps the intrinsic TADF feature unchanged, but also effectively suppress the intermolecular interaction induced exciton quenching, which makes the material more efficient for solution-processing. The optimized solution-processed hybrid WOLEDs based on the encapsulated TADF blue host realized a highly efficient device performance with a maximum current efficiency (CE), power efficiency (PE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 45.6 cd A-1, 40.9 lm W-1 and 17.0%, respectively, which are three times higher in device efficiency and twenty times higher in device lifetime than the corresponding device with an unencapsulated TADF blue host. Furthermore, the obtained device exhibits a high electroluminescence (EL) above 20?000 cd m-2 and a stable EL spectrum with nearly unchanged Commission International de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate at a wide range of applied voltages. These results clearly demonstrate that the molecular encapsulation of the TADF blue host is a superior and promising strategy to achieve high performance and color stable solution-processed hybrid WOLEDs.

Mixed-carbene cyclometalated iridium complexes with saturated blue luminescence.

Project description:Cyclometalated iridium complexes have emerged as top-performing emitters in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other optoelectronic devices. A persistent challenge has been the development of cyclometalated iridium complexes with deep blue luminescence that have the requisite color purity, efficiency, and stability to function in color displays. In this work we report a new class of cyclometalated iridium complexes with saturated blue luminescence. These complexes have the general structure Ir(C^C:NHC)2(C^C:ADC), where C^C:NHC is an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) derived cyclometalating ligand and C^C:ADC is a different type of cyclometalating ligand featuring an acyclic diaminocarbene (ADC). The complexes are prepared by a cascade reaction that involves nucleophilic addition of propylamine to an isocyanide precursor followed by base-assisted cyclometalation of the ADC intermediate. All three emit deep blue light with good quantum efficiencies (Φ PL = 0.13-0.48) and color profiles very close to the ideal primary blue standards for color displays.
