The efficiency roll-off and operational lifetime of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a tetradentate Pt(II) emitter is improved by engaging an n-doped electron-transporting layer (ETL). Compared to those devices with non-doped ETL, the driving voltage is lowered, the charged carrier is balanced, and the exciton density in the emissive layer (EML) is decreased in the device with n-doped ETL with 8-hydroxyquinolinolatolithium (Liq). High luminance of almost 70,000 cd m and high current efficiency of 40.5 cd A at high luminance of 10,000 cd m is achieved in the device with 50 wt%-Liq-doped ETL. More importantly, the extended operational lifetime of 1945 h is recorded at the initial luminance of 1000 cd m in the 50 wt%-Liq-doped device, which is longer than that of the device with non-doped ETL by almost 10 times. This result manifests the potential application of tetradentate Pt(II) complexes in the OLED industry.
具有四齿 Pt(II)发射器的有机发光二极管 (OLED) 的效率下降和工作寿命通过使用 n 型掺杂电子传输层 (ETL) 得到改善。与没有掺杂 ETL 的器件相比,具有 n 型掺杂 ETL 的器件的驱动电压降低,载流子平衡,发射层 (EML) 中的激子密度降低,其中 ETL 掺杂了 8-羟基喹啉酸锂 (Liq)。在初始亮度为 1000 cd/m 时,具有 50wt%-Liq 掺杂 ETL 的器件的亮度高达 70,000 cd/m,电流效率高达 40.5 cd/A,亮度为 10,000 cd/m。更重要的是,在初始亮度为 1000 cd/m 时,50wt%-Liq 掺杂器件的工作寿命延长至 1945 小时,比未掺杂 ETL 的器件长约 10 倍。这一结果表明四齿 Pt(II)配合物在 OLED 行业中的潜在应用。
