摘要

有机发光二极管(OLED)作为新一代显示技术已广泛商用, 但蓝光有机发光二极管在效率和稳定性等方面仍存在不足, 虽用磷光染料能明显地提高效率, 其制作成本之高却限制了产业化发展. 因此, 本文对蓝色荧光有机发光二极管中的效率滚降现象进行了深入探究. 首先, 从稳态和瞬态两个角度研究了电子电流和空穴电流对单极器件光致发光行为的影响, 表明空穴对激子的淬灭效果更显著. 实验证明激子-电荷相互作用是荧光OLED中效率滚降的主要机制, 且激子主要是被束缚电荷淬灭而非移动电荷. 另一方面制备了不同掺杂浓度的有机发光二极管器件以探究掺杂浓度对激子-极化子相互作用的影响, 得到了综合性能较好的蓝色有机荧光器件, 分析表明调控发光层电荷俘获可以平衡界面堆积电荷和发光层束缚电荷对激子的淬灭. 本文完善了激子-极化子淬灭的内在机制,给减缓蓝色荧光有机发光二极管的效率滚降提供了有益参考.

Abstract

OLEDs are popular as display technology nowadays, which have been widely used in commercial application. However, there are still some problems that blue light devices are not as efficient or stable as red and green light devices. Although the use of phosphorescent dyes can significantly improve the internal quantum efficiency, the high production cost and unstable performance limit the industrialization of phosphorescent OLEDs. In the development of OLEDs, the researchers found that OLEDs suffered from a decline in their efficiency at high brightness levels, a behavior known as “efficiency roll-off”. The efficiency roll-off is more pronounced in phosphorescent devices due to the longer lifetime of triplet exciton than singlet exciton, so that it has been widely investigated in recent years. Little is known, still, about fluorescent devices. Accordingly, unraveling the exciton loss mechanism in blue fluorescent OLEDs is particularly important, as it is a limiting factor for the improvement of efficiency. In this work, the efficiency roll-off in blue fluorescent OLEDs is investigated by observing the quenching of DPAVBI excitons. Firstly, the effects of electron current and hole current on photoluminescence(PL) behavior of unipolar devices are studied by steady-state and transient-state measurements, and we analyze PL spectrum and calculate the exciton quenching rate constant according to the transient PL decay curves to clarify the exciton quenching dynamics. The results show that the holes are much more efficient in quenching the excitons when the host is a hole transport material. This is different from the general understanding that exciton-polaron quenching effect with higher carrier mobility is weaker. Because the existence of bound charges produces additional charge density, and it is inferred that the exciton is mainly quenched by trapped charge rather than moving charge. We also exclude the effect of exciton–exciton annihilation and electric-field-induced dissociation on the efficiency degradation of the OLEDs. It is confirmed experimentally that exciton-polaron interaction is the dominant mechanism of the efficiency roll-off in fluorescent OLEDs. We then fabricate organic light-emitting diode devices with different doping concentrations to figure out the effect of doping concentration on exciton-polaron interaction, and obtain a blue fluorescence device with good comprehensive performance. We also summarize some feasible methods to optimize the efficiency of the OLEDs. In this paper, our findings about exciton-polaron interaction might provide a viable source for efficiency improvement by regulating charge trapping in light emitting layer.
