Abstract
For the implementation of the inkjet printing process in the fabrication of organic devices, like organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), challenges such as the control over film formation need to be overcome in order to benefit from inkjet printing as a mask-free, material-efficient, non-contact and on-demand patterning technique. In this contribution, three different polymers with tailored properties were synthesized that reveal red, green and blue (RGB) emission colors. Film formation and thin-film properties were investigated in a combinatorial screening approach via inkjet printing. The solvent system toluene/ortho-dichlorobenzene revealed for all three polymers suitable film formation characteristics with final film thicknesses of 80nm using a concentration of 4mg/mL. Important relationships between polymer properties (molar mass), ink characteristics (viscosity) and film formation qualities (thickness, roughness) were identified. Finally, OLED devices were manufactured whereby the light emitting layers were inkjet printed using optimized processing conditions.
