The appropriate hosts of emitting layers (EMLs) play an important role in determining the overall performance of solution-processed phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). We have investigated the effect of three species of host molecules, 1,3-bis(carbazol-9-yl)benzene (mCP), 10-(4-(5,5dimethylbenzofuro[3,2-c]acridin-13(5H)-yl)phenyl)-10-phenylanthracen-9(10H)-one (DpAn-5BzAc) and poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), on the performance of solution-processed blue and yellow PhOLEDs. We have found that compared to the widely used single-host EMLs, the devices using the binary blend of mCP: DpAn5BzAc as hosts, can achieve more efficient optoelectrical characteristics. The maximum current efficiencies of 11.84 and 16.61 have been realized for blue and yellow OLEDs, respectively. The superior electroluminescence performance for binary blend host-based PhOLEDs was attributed to the enhanced charge carrier balance and multi-component miscibility, which has a dramatic influence on the morphology of the emissive layer. These results demonstrate the great potential of the multi-hosts in solution-processed organic optoelectronic devices. The development of complementary colour OLEDs with blue and yellow can provide a simple approach to fabricate solution-processed white PhOLEDs.

Organic optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes and solar cells present unique challenges for surface cleaning and preparation because of their large area and the ‘soft’, thin film nature of the materials involved. This paper gives an introduction to this class of semiconductor devices and covers a recent example of how surface cleaning impacts the long-term reliability of organic light-emitting diodes being commercialized for solid-state lighting.

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.
