We demonstrated that oligo(9,9-diarylfluorene) derivatives have high potential for optoelectronic applications such as organic lasers and light-emitting organic field-effect transistors (LE-OFETs). The oligo(9,9diarylfluorene) derivatives have high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies up to Φ PL ≈ 70-75% and very low amplified spontaneous emission thresholds (E th ) down to 0.5 µJ/cm 2 in their vacuum-deposited neat films. In particular, the trimer derivatives (B3 and T3) show higher Φ PL and lower E th than those of the dimers (B2 and T2). Efficient deep-blue LE-OFETs with the electroluminescence (EL) peaking at λ peak ) 429 nm were demonstrated using the ter(9,9-diarylfluorene) as the active layer. Rather high luminance up to L ≈ 150 cd/m 2 and EL quantum efficiency up to η ext ≈ 0.60% were achieved with the optimum source-drain channel length, indicating bipolar carrier injection in the terfluorene layer under the FET operation.
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.
