White light-emitting electroluminescent devices were fabricated using poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a hole-transporting emitter layer and a double layer of 1,2,4-triazole derivative (TAZ) and tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum(III) complex (Alq) as an electron transport layer. The PVK layer was doped with fluorescent dyes such as blue-emitting 1,1,4,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene, green-emitting coumarin 6, and orange-emitting DCM 1. A cell structure of glass substrate/indium-tin-oxide/doped PVK/TAZ/Alq/Mg:Ag was employed. White emission covering a wide range of the visible region and a high luminance of 3400 cd/m2 were obtained at a drive voltage of 14 V.
Organic electroluminescent (EL) devices with a trivalent europium (Eu) complex as an emitter were fabricated. Triple-layer-type cells with a structure of glass substrate/indium-tin oxide/ triphenyldiamine derivative (TPD)/Eu complex: 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative (PBD)/aluminum complex (Alq)/Mg:Ag exhibit bright red luminescence upon applying dc voltage. The EL spectrum consists of extremely sharp emission bands, which is a typical luminescence spectrum of the Eu complex. Luminance of 460 cd/m2 with an emission peak at 614 nm is achieved at a drive voltage of 16 V. This is the highest luminance so far obtained for the EL cells having a Eu complex as an emitter.
Electroluminescent devices were fabricated using poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a hole-transporting emitter layer and a double layer of 1,2,4-triazole derivative (TAZ) and tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum(III) complex (Alq) as an electron transport layer. A cell structure of glass substrate/indium-tin-oxide/PVK/TAZ/Alq/Mg:Ag was employed. In this cell structure, carrier injection from the electrodes to the PVK layer and concomitant electroluminescence from PVK were observed. Blue emission peaking at 410 nm and a luminance of 700 cd/m2 were achieved at a drive voltage of 14 V.
Organic electroluminescent devices with multilayer structures were fabricated using a 1,2,4-triazole derivative as the carrier transport layer. 3-(4-Biphenylyl)-4-phenyl-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (TAZ) was found to be electron-transporting, and a cell with a structure of glass substrate/indium-tin oxide/triphenylamine derivative (TPD)/TAZ/Alq/Mg:Ag exhibited bright blue electroluminescence from the TPD layer. A luminance of 3700 cd/m2 with an emission peak at 464 nm was achieved at a drive voltage of 16 V.
Electroluminescent devices were fabricated using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) molecularly doped with triphenyldiamine derivative and tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum(III) complex (Alq). A cell structure of glass substrate/indium–tin–oxide/doped PMMA/Mg:Ag was employed. Carrier injection from the electrodes to the doped PMMA layer through the dopants and concomitant electroluminescence from Alq were observed. Green emission with luminance of 920 cd/m2 was achieved at a drive voltage of 17 V.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
