研究目的
Investigating the hypsochromic electroluminescence of ultraviolet OLED by tuning excitons relaxation.
研究成果
The study demonstrates an inverted UV OLED with a peak of 369 nm, the shortest peak wavelength reported for organic materials as the emission layer. The hypsochromic shift in the EL spectrum is attributed to the shorter lifetime of excitons due to the metallic nature of ZnO. The exciton dynamic model proposed can be extended to other OLEDs for efficiency improvement and wavelength regulation. The emission peak of UV OLEDs can be adjusted from 369 nm to 384 nm by varying layer thickness and adding buffer layers.
研究不足
The high energy of ultraviolet photons and the energy loss before de-excitation limit the selection of organic materials for UV emission. The study is constrained by the small selectivity of organic materials with wide bandgaps suitable for UV emission.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs an inverted UV OLED device structure with zinc oxide (ZnO) as the electron injection layer (EIL) and explores the relationship between exciton diffusion and emitting peaks. The organic-inorganic interface's effect on exciton diffusion length and relaxation is examined.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The devices are fabricated on ITO coated glass substrates, with ZnO, PEI, TAZ, CBP, MoO3, and Al layers. The thickness of these layers is varied to study their impact on the EL spectrum.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a Keithley 2450 source measurement unit for J-V characteristics, an Ocean Optics QE65 Pro Spectra Scan for EL spectrum measurement, and a Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) system for transient fluorescence experiments.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fabrication involves cleaning ITO substrates, spin casting ZnO and PEI layers, and thermally evaporating organic films and metal electrodes. The EL spectrum and current density-voltage characteristics are measured to analyze device performance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The exciton diffusion model is used to analyze the relationship between exciton lifetime, diffusion length, and EL spectrum shift. The effect of buffer layers and layer thickness on exciton relaxation and EL peak position is also studied.
