Abstract
We fabricated double-layer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by utilizing poly[bis(p-nbutylphenyl)silane] (PBPS) and oxadiazole derivatives, and investigated their basic LED characteristics. The near-ultraviolet electroluminescence (EL) performance, such as the EL threshold electric field and the current density, depended on the oxadiazole derivatives used as the electron transport materials as well as the components of the EL emission. We observed better EL performance where the EL external quantum efficiency in a double-layer LED with a 2-(4′-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(4″-biphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole based electron transport layer was twice that of a PBPS single-layer LED. By contrast, we observed a worse EL threshold electric field and current density when we used 2,5-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole as an electron transport material. The reason for the difference in the EL performance was revealed by investigating the charge carrier injection and transport dynamics of the two LEDs.
