摘要
Efficient simplified blue-emitting phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated with a nickel oxide (Ni2O3) or molybdenum oxide (MoO3) modified indium tin oxide (ITO) anode. The maximum current efficiency of device anode/bis(3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl-(2-carboxypyridyl)iridium (FIrpic)/FIrpic:1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazole-2-yl)benzene (TPBi)/LiF/Al was increased from 3.6 cd/A with ITO anode to 22.0 and 23.6 cd/A for Ni2O3 and MoO3 modified ITO anodes, respectively. Moreover, the maximum current and power efficiencies of another bilayer device ITO/MoO3/FIrpic:4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP)/FIrpic:TPBi/LiF/Al were as high as 49 cd/A and 48 lm/W, respectively. Photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were employed to investigate the electronic structure of the anode/organic interfaces. Results show that the band alignment at the oxide/organic interface plays a critical role in these simplified blue devices.
