50‐3: Invited Paper: Improving Charge Confinement in Blue OLED Devices Through Novel Design of the Emissive Layer Stack

Abstract

In this article, we will discuss our continuing efforts on the design, synthesis and characterization of novel platinum complexes for displays and lighting applications. The photophysics, electrochemistry, electroluminescent properties and operational stability of these novel metal complexes, including blue emitters with 6-membered chelate rings, will be discussed. The rational molecular design enables us to develop cyclometalated metal complexes with both photon-to-photon (in thin film) and electron-to-photon (in device settings) conversion efficiency close to 100% for OLED applications.
