We constructed red organic electroluminescence (EL) devices with a reduced porphyrin compound, tetraphenylchlorin, that was doped at various concentrations (0.5, 1.7, and 3.7 wt %) within a tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) host layer. We measured their EL properties and found that all three devices emitted a red EL band at 660 nm with a width of 20 nm. Emission color of the 1.7 and 3.7 wt % devices was red (chromaticity coordinates x=0.67, y=0.29 and x=0.78, y=0.21) and the luminance maximum was 100 and 24 cdm−2, respectively. The 0.5 wt % device emitted a green Alq3 EL band as well, and showed an increase in relative intensity of the Alq3 emission with increasing applied voltage.
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.
