摘要
Organic light-emitting diodes made of tris-8-(hydroxyquinoline) aluminum as the electron-transport layers, N, N'-diphenyl-N, N' bis (3-methylphenyl)-1, 1'-biphenyl-4, 4'-diamine (TPD) as the hole-transport layers, and 2-(1, 1-dimethylethyl)-6(2-(2, 3, 6, 7-tetrahydro-1, 1, 7, 7-tetramethyl-1H, 5H-benzo(ij) quinolizin-9-yl) ethenyl)-4H-pyran-4-ylidene) propanedinitrile (DCJTB) as the guest dopant have been studied. It is determined that a) emission from guest DCJTB in a host transport material results primarily from separate trapping of holes and electrons, rather than the more commonly proposed Forster transfer mechanism, b) DCJTB is a more efficient hole than electron trap, and c) the lifetime of a doped device is longer when TPD is used as the host material.
