摘要:
A device is provided, having an anode, a cathode, and a first organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. The first organic layer comprises a material that produces phosphorescent emission when a voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode. A second organic layer is disposed between the first organic layer and the cathode. The second organic layer is in direct contact with the first organic layer. The second organic layer may comprise an aromatic hydrocarbon material, comprising an aromatic hydrocarbon core optionally substituted, and wherein the substituents are the same or different, and each is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, heteroalkyl, substituted aryl, substituted heteroaryl and heterocyclic groups. The second organic layer may comprise a material having a dipole moment less than about 2.0 debyes, such that the device has an unmodified external quantum efficiency of at least about 3% and a lifetime of at least about 1000 hours at an initial luminance of about 100 to about 1000 cd/m2. The second organic layer may be in direct contact with the cathode, or there may be a separate organic layer between the second organic layer and the cathode.

Organic light emitting devices are described wherein the emissive layer comprises a host material containing an emissive molecule, which molecule is adapted to luminesce when a voltage is applied across the heterostructure, and the emissive molecule is selected from the group of phosphorescent organometallic complexes, including cyclometallated platinum, iridium and osmium complexes. The organic light emitting devices optionally contain an exciton blocking layer. Furthermore, improved electroluminescent efficiency in organic light emitting devices is obtained with an emitter layer comprising organometallic complexes of transition metals of formula L2MX, wherein L and X are distinct bidentate ligands. Compounds of this formula can be synthesized more facilely than in previous approaches and synthetic options allow insertion of fluorescent molecules into a phosphorescent complex, ligands to fine tune the color of emission, and ligands to trap carriers.

摘要:
A new method for tuning the emission spectrum of OLEDs while retaining a high luminescence efficiency wherein the emission spectrum of a polar luminescent molecule is wavelength shifted by as much as 70 nm when doped into a conductive host in a vacuum-deposited molecular organic light emitting device. The effect may be attributed to changes in the average dipole moment of the host thin film that are induced by the addition of highly dipolar dopant molecules. This phenomenon may be referred to as a “solid state solvation effect” in analogy to similar effects previously identified in solution chemistry. In experiments using singly doped devices, different concentrations of a polar laser dye known as DCM2 are doped in non-polar triaryl amine conductive host films. In these experiments, DCM2 performs the dual role of functioning both as the luminescent center and as the source of the increased spatially averaged dipole moment. In a second set of experiments using dual-doped devices, DCM2 is employed only as the luminescent center in a non-polar host, while a second polar dopant, aluminum tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq3), is introduced to generate the local dipole moment. By changing the concentration of Alq3, while keeping the DCM2 concentration fixed, the OLED emission may be tuned over a range of 30 nm. For the singly doped devices, the external luminescence quantum efficiency, &eegr;, decreases with dopant concentration due to aggregation induced quenching. However, for the dual-doped devices, &eegr; increases with an increase in the bathochromic shift.
