摘要
We. report on highly efficient polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs) achieved using a phosphorescent polymer, which is a copolymer that has bis(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (acetylacetonate) [Ir(ppy)(2)(acac)], N,N'-diphenyl-NN'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4' -diamine (TPD) and 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) as a side group. The phosphorescent polymer has an ambipolar charge-transport ability. An increase in PBD unit concentration allows an improvement in the efficiency of the PLEDs. Ba and Cs were used for electron-injection layers as well as Ca, to improve the electron injection. An external quantum efficiency of 11.8% and a power efficiency of 38.6 lm/W were obtained by using Cs. The results indicate that this can be attributed to an improvement in the charge balance of electrons and holes. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
