摘要
A "fuzzy-junction" organic light-emitting device (OLED) containing a graded organic-organic interface is reported. Such graded junction is effectively produced utilizing interdiffusion through an ultrathin interfacial fusing layer sandwiched between two functional layers. With a glass transition temperature (T-g) lower than remaining layers, this fusing layer permits smooth interdiffusion and mixing of neighboring layers by annealing above its T-g. With appropriate material combinations, fuzzy-junction OLEDs thus prepared exhibit both reduced voltage and enhanced emission efficiency in comparison with conventional abrupt-junction devices. As an instance, a green fluorescent OLED with such fuzzy junction shows a high peak power efficiency of similar to20 lm/W, substantially higher than similar to14 lm/W of a corresponding abrupt-junction device.
