ABSTRACTWe describe the fabrication and characterization of solution processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on novel near-infrared emitting erbium(III) complexes, consisting of three perfluoroalkyl-β-diketone ligands and 5-NO2-1,10-phenanthroline as chelating N,N-donor molecule. The function of N,N molecule is to saturate the coordination sphere of the erbium ion and to harvest excitation light that can be transferred to the excited states of the erbium ion. The devices have been fabricated by spin-coating, using 1 %wt methanol precursor solutions. These Er-complexes form very uniform thin films. The OLED structure is glass/indium–tin oxide(ITO) / poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/Er-complex/Ca/Al. The good electrical response, with low threshold voltages (a few volts), together with the very uniform thin films formed, made these complexes promising for IR emitting displays.

The performance of solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is often limited by non-uniform contacts. In this work, we introduce Ni-containing solution-processed metal oxide (MO) interfacial layers inserted between indium tin oxide (ITO) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to improve the bottom electrode contact for OLEDs using the poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) derivative Super-Yellow (SY) as an emission layer. For ITO/Ni-containing MO/PEDOT:PSS bottom electrode structures we show enhanced wetting properties that result in an improved OLED device efficiency. Best performance is achieved using a Cu-Li co-doped spinel nickel cobaltite [(Cu-Li):NiCo2O4], for which the current efficiency and luminous efficacy of SY OLEDs increased, respectively, by 12% and 11% from the values obtained for standard devices without a Ni-containing MO interface modification between ITO and PEDOT:PSS. The enhanced performance was attributed to the improved morphology of PEDOT:PSS, which consequently increased the hole injection capability of the optimized ITO/(Cu-Li):NiCo2O4/PEDOT:PSS electrode.

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.
