Abstract
Four new organic D-π-A fluorophores consisting of different electron donors (carbazole and diphenylamine) and acceptors (4,5-dicyanoimidazole and 5,6-dicyanobenzo[d]imidazole), i.e., DCI-Cz, DCI-TPA, DCBI-Cz and DCBI-TPA, were synthesized to obtain deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). These compounds exhibited good solubility and excellent thermal stability as well as strong deep-blue and blue emission in solution and solid states. With mCP (1,3-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzene) as the host material, the doped devices with a configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS (30 nm)/mCP:dopant (x wt%) (25 nm)/TPBi (35 nm)/Liq (2 nm)/Al (150 nm) were fabricated by solution-processing the emitting layers to evaluate their electroluminescence (EL) performances. The devices using the blend of mCP with DCI-TPA as emitting layers exhibited the best electroluminescent performance with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 4.39 % and a maximum current efficiency of 3.04 cd/A.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
