Abstract |
|
|
|
Here we report the effect of doping a phenanthroline diimide into an electron transport layer for red phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (PHOLED). The phenanthroline diimide used as a dopant was bis-[1,10]phenanthrolin-5-yl-pyromellitic diimide (Bphen-PMDI) that has a wider band gap than the material (tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum (Alq3)) used for the electron transport layer in the red PHOLEDs. The doping ratio of Bphen-PMDI to Alq3 was varied up to 2% by keeping the thickness of the electron transport layer. Results showed that small amount (0.2 ~ 0.5%) doping of Bphen-PMDI greatly enhanced the luminance (brightness) and reduced the driving voltage of red PHOLEDs though the device performance became worse by further increase of doping ratio. The improved performance at an optimum doping ratio has been attributed to the secondary electron injection role of the doped Bphen-PMDI molecules after taking electrons injected initially from the first electron injection layer (lithium fluoride).
