AbstractThe electroluminescent properties of asymmetrically twisted phenanthrimidazole derivatives comprised of fluorescent anthracene or pyrene unit namely, 1-(1-(anthracen-10-yl)naphthalen-4-yl)-2-styryl-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole (ANSPI), 1-(1-(pyren-1-yl) naphthalene-4-yl)-2-styryl-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole (PNSPI), 4-(2-(4-(anthracen-9-yl) styryl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-1-yl)naphthalene-1-carbonitrile (ASPINC) and 4-(2-(4-(pyren-1-yl)styryl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-1-yl)naphthalene-1-carbonitrile (PSPINC) for blue OLEDs have been analyzed. The asymmetrically twisted conformation interrupt π-conjugation effectively results in deep-blue emission. The pyrene containing PSPINC based non-doped blue device (476 nm) shows maximium efficiencies (current efficiency (ηc)-4.23 cd/A; power efficiency (ηp)-2.86 lm/W; external quantum efficiency (ηex)-3.48%: CIE (0.16, 0.17) at 3.10 V. Among the doped blue devices, An(PPI)2:ASPINC shows high efficiencies (ηc-12.13 cd/A; ηp-5.98 lm/W; ηex-6.79%; L-23986 cd m−2; EL-458 nm) at 3.15 V with CIE (0.15, 0.17) than An(PPI)2:PSPINC based device which is inconsistent with non-doped device performances. The green and red PhOLEDs show higher efficiencies with Ir(ppy)3: ASPINC (ηc-50.6 cd/A; ηp-53.4 lm/W; ηex-17.0%; L-61581 cd m−2; EL-501 nm, CIE (0.31, 0.60) at 3.32 V and (bt)2Ir(dipba): ASPINC (ηc-15.2 cd/A; ηp-16.5 lm/W; ηex-14.5%; L-13456 cd m−2; EL-610 nm), CIE (0.63, 0.36) at 3.20 V, respectively. The complete energy transfer between the host and dopant molecules improved the efficiency of PHOLEDs.

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.

Pyridinyl-carbazole fragments containing low molar mass compounds as host derivatives H1 and H2 were synthesized, investigated, and used for the preparation of electro-phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (PhOLEDs). The materials demonstrated high stability against thermal decomposition with the decomposition temperatures of 361–386 °C and were suitable for the preparation of thin amorphous and homogeneous layers with very high values of glass transition temperatures of 127–139 °C. It was determined that triplet energy values of the derivatives are, correspondingly, 2.82 eV for the derivative H1 and 2.81 eV for the host H2. The new derivatives were tested as hosts of emitting layers in blue, as well as in green phosphorescent OLEDs. The blue device with 15 wt.% of the iridium(III)[bis(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C2′]picolinate (FIrpic) emitter doping ratio in host material H2 exhibited the best overall characteristics with a power efficiency of 24.9 lm/W, a current efficiency of 23.9 cd/A, and high value of 10.3% of external quantum efficiency at 100 cd/m2. The most efficient green PhOLED with 10 wt% of Ir(ppy)3 {tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III)} in the H2 host showed a power efficiency of 34.1 lm/W, current efficiency of 33.9 cd/A, and a high value of 9.4% for external quantum efficiency at a high brightness of 1000 cd/m2, which is required for lighting applications. These characteristics were obtained in non-optimized PhOLEDs under an ordinary laboratory atmosphere and could be improved in the optimization process. The results demonstrate that some of the new host materials are very promising components for the development of efficient phosphorescent devices.

In this paper, combining phosphorescence and fluorescence to form white light was realized based on DCJTB:PMMA/ITO/NPB/TCTA/FIrpic:TCTA/TPBi/Ir(ppy)3:TPBi/TPBi/Cs2CO3/Al. The effects of red fluorescence on this white light device was studied by adjusting the concentration of DCJTB. The study shows that the device with a DCJTB concentration of 0.7% in the color conversion layer (CCL) generates a peak current efficiency and power efficiency of 23.4 cd ⋅ A[Formula: see text] and 7.5 lm ⋅ W[Formula: see text], respectively. And it is closest to the equal-energy white point of (0.33, 0.33) which shows a CIE (Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage) coordinate of (0.35, 0.43) and a color rendering index (CRI) of 70 at current density of 10 mA ⋅ cm[Formula: see text]. In order to improve the efficiency, we design and fabricate both high efficient and pure white organic light-emitting diode (WOLED) by replacing the single blue emission layer (EML) with double EMLs of FIrpic:TCTA and FIrpic:TPBi. The further study shows that, when the layers of EML is three and the concentration of DCJTB at 0.7%, the device exhibits good performance specifically, at current density of 10 mA ⋅ cm[Formula: see text], the current efficiency of 28.2 cd ⋅ A[Formula: see text] (power efficiency of 10.3 lm ⋅ W[Formula: see text]), and the CIE coordinate of (0.33, 0.31) (CRI of 80.38).
