Solution-processed high-efficiency organic phosphorescent devices utilizing a blue Ir(III) complex.
We report high-efficiency blue phosphorescence organic light-emitting devices by solution process utilizing a blue Ir(III) complex [(F2ppy)2Ir(ph-imz)CN] (F2ppy = 2',6' -difluoro-2-phenyl pyridine and ph-imz = N-phenyl imidazole) blended with the host mCP (N, N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene), and the inert polymers polystyrene (PS) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The effects of the dopant confinement in the PS and PMMA matrix on the device performance are studied by field emission transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The complex shows photoluminescence peaked at 458 nm with CIE color coordinates (0.14, 0.21) in solution and (0.14, 0.18) in doped PMMA film. The PS based device showed better device performance than the PMMA based device with a maximum luminous efficiency of (etaL) 5.11 cd/A with CIE color coordinates (0.17, 0.29) (at 10 mA/cm2) and a maximum luminance of 9765 cd/m2.
