Abstract

This paper demonstrates the influence of temperature, exciton concentration, and electron transportation layers on the excimer emission of a novel deep-blue material: 4,4′-bis(4′′-triphenylsilyl) phenyl-1,1′-binaphthalene (SiBN), by studying the photoluminescence and electroluminescence spectra of SiBN-based film. We have further developed sunlight-like and warm-light white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) with high efficiency and wide-range spectra, using SiBN and bis(2-phenylbenzothiozolato-N,C2′)iridium(acetylacetonate) (bt2Ir(acac)) as the blue excimer and yellow materials, respectively. The resulting device exhibited an excellent spectra overlap ratio of 82.9 % with sunlight, while the device peak current efficiency, external quantum efficiency, and power efficiency were 18.5 cd/A, 6.34 %, and 11.68 lm/W, respectively, for sunlight-like WOLEDs.

Highlights

  • The developments of organic materials and advanced device structures in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) [1, 2] and especially white Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) (WOLEDs) [3, 4] have recently attracted much interest for their application in full-color display and generation energy efficient solid-state lighting [5, 6]

  • It is worth considering SiBN as a promising candidate for blue emissive material in order to fabricate sunlight-like White organic light-emitting diode (WOLED) with high efficiencies and wide-range spectra

  • Exciplex emission usually occurs at the interface between emissive layer and Hole transportation layer (HTL) or Electron transportation layer (ETL) as the excited emissive molecule interacting with the inhomogeneous ground-state molecule, while it has no relationship with the doping concentration

Summary

Introduction

The developments of organic materials and advanced device structures in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) [1, 2] and especially white OLEDs (WOLEDs) [3, 4] have recently attracted much interest for their application in full-color display and generation energy efficient solid-state lighting [5, 6]. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of SiBN showed a monomer emission at 415 nm and an excimer emission at 468 nm, which could fully cover the blue region, meeting the needs of a wide spectrum in WOLEDs. In addition, the high thermal stability of SiBN was demonstrated, showing a high glass transition temperature at 159.3 °C, which could contribute to the stability and eventual efficiencies of the whole device.
