Abstract:

Two iridium complexes, orange emitter bis[2-(9, 9-diethylfluoren-2-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl- pyridinto-C3, N] iridium (acetylacetonate) ((fl-5CF3-py)2Ir(acac)) and blue emitter bis(4,6-difluoro- phenylpyridine)(picolinate) iridium(III) (FIrPic), were used. As a single emitting layer at the constant emitting concentration of 8 wt %, EL spectra of the device containing the emitting layer PVK: PBD: (fl-5CF3-py)2Ir(acac) (8 wt %) peaked at 588 nm, the device having the emitting layer PVK: PBD: (fl-5CF3-py)2Ir(acac) (2 wt %): FIrPic (6 wt %) showed the main peak at 588 nm and the weak shoulder peaks at 472 and 500 nm, the device containing the emitting layer PVK: PBD: (fl-5CF3-py)2Ir(acac) (0.2 wt %): FIrPic (7.8 wt %) exhibited the main peak at 580 nm and slightly higher shoulder peaks at 472 and 500 nm. The device having the double emitting layers CBP: (fl-5CF3-py)2Ir(acac) (5 wt %) by spin-coating method and mCP: FIrPic (8 wt %) by vacuum deposition showed the main peaks at 472 and 500 nm, and shoulder peak at 580 nm. Maximum luminances of devices were found to be 14582 cd/m2 (at 16 V), 12497 cd/m2 (at 17 V), 1061 cd/m2 (at 23 V), and 5396 cd/m2 (at 25 V), respectively. The absence of host PVK, PBD, mCP or CBP emission in these devices indicated an efficient energy transfer from the host to the guest complex. Holes and electrons were efficiently recombined in the double emitting layers and an important approach for making WOLEDs was provided in the future.
