Significance of irreversible formation of ¡°electromer?in 1-bis[4-[N,N-di(4-tolyl)amino]phenyl]-cyclohexane layer associated with the stability of deep blue phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes
文摘
We demonstrate that injection of electrons in 1-bis[4-[N,N-di(4-tolyl)amino]phenyl]-cyclohexane (TAPC) layer irreversibly induces defect sites responsible for ¡°electromer?emission. We also show that the defects alter the charge transporting properties of TAPC layer to influence the charge balance of iridium(III)[bis(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C2?/sup>]tetrakis(1-pyrazolyl)borate (FIr6) based deep blue phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLED). The present investigation implies that deep-blue PHOLEDs should be carefully designed for the emission zone to be located far enough from the TAPC layer so as to avoid or minimize the emission from TAPC layer.
