Efficiency stabilization in deep-blue organic light-emitting devices with a double emitting layer acting as electron and hole trapping layers

초록

The influence of the presence of a double emitting layer (DEL) consisting of 4,4'-Bis(carbazol-9-yl)bipheny1 (CBP) and 4,4'-Bis(2,2-diphenyl-ethen-1-yl)diphenyl (DPVBi) acting as electron and hole trapping layers in the organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) was studied. While the luminance efficiency of the OLEDs with a DEL was very stable, regardless of variations in the applied voltage, that of the OLEDs with a CBP or a DPVBi emitting layer varied with the applied voltage. The rate of decrease is smaller than the single emitting layer, about 30%. The dominant peak corresponding to the CBP layer, in the electroluminescence spectrum for the OLEDs with a DEL appeared at 451 nm, which is in the deep-blue region. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage chromaticity coordinates of the OLEDs with a DEL at 11 V were (0.150, 0.137), indicative of a deep, stabilized blue color. These results indicate that luminance efficiency-stabilized blue OLEDs can be fabricated using a CBP/DPVBi DEL acting as electron and hole trapping layers.
