High-luminescence non-doped green OLEDs based on a 9,9-diarylfluorene-terminated 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole derivative

Abstract

We have prepared a highly efficient non-doped green organic light-emitting diode (OLED) incorporating a novel 9,9-diarylfluorene-terminated 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole green emitter (DFBTA), which exhibits an excellent solid state photoluminescence quantum yield (81%), and new triaryldiamines (DPAInT2, DPAInF) with high hole mobility derived from rigid and coplanar cores. The optimal device: ITO/DPAInT2/DPAInF/TCTA/DFBTA/Alq3/LiF/Al displayed impressive device characteristics, including a maximum external quantum efficiency (ηext) of 3.7% (12.9 cd A−1) and a maximum brightness at 168 000 cd m−2.
