A novel bipolar molecule CNBzIm comprised of electron-donating carbazole and electron-accepting phenylbenzimidazole is designed, synthesized and characterized for RGB phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). CNBzIm exhibits promising properties such as high triplet energy (ET = 2.71 eV) due to disrupted Ï-conjugation, bipolar and balanced charge transport ability (μh â μe â 10â5 cm2 Vâ1sâ1), and high morphological stability (Tg = 185 °C). PhOLEDs adopted CNBzIm as a host respectively doped with Os(bpftz)2(PPh2Me)2, (PPy)2Ir(acac) and FIrpic under the same device structure show excellent performance with external quantum efficiencies (ηext) as high as 19.1% for red, 17.8% for green, and 12.7% for blue. A two-color, all-phosphor and single-emitting-layer WOLED hosted by CNBzIm was achieved with a maximum ηext of 15.7%, current efficiency (ηc) of 35 cd Aâ1, and power efficiency (ηp) of 36.6 lm Wâ1. Utilizing a bipolar host with balanced mobilities, WOLED can effectively broaden its recombination zone and show high color stability. The Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of the WOLED remain almost constant when the brightness goes from 1700 cd mâ2 (0.32, 0.41) to 49â900 cd mâ2 (0.31, 0.41).
设计、合成并表征了一种新颖的双极性分子CNBzIm,它由电子供体咔唑和电子受体苯并苯并咪唑组成,用于RGB磷光有机发光二极管(PhOLEDs)。CNBzIm具有良好的性质,如由于π共轭断开而具有高三重态能量(ET = 2.71 eV),双极性和平衡的电荷传输能力(μh ≈ μe ≈ 10^-5 cm^2 V^-1s^-1),以及高形态稳定性(Tg = 185°C)。采用CNBzIm作为主体,分别掺杂Os(bpftz)2(PPh2Me)2、(PPy)2Ir(acac)和FIrpic,在相同器件结构下显示出色的性能,外部量子效率(ηext)高达19.1%(红色)、17.8%(绿色)和12.7%(蓝色)。实现了一种双色、全磷光和单发射层的WOLED,其最大ηext为15.7%,电流效率(ηc)为35 cd A^-1,功率效率(ηp)为36.6 lm W^-1。利用具有平衡迁移率的双极性主体,WOLED可以有效扩大其复合区域并显示出高色稳定性。当亮度从1700 cd m^-2(0.32, 0.41)变化到49,900 cd m^-2(0.31, 0.41)时,国际照明委员会(CIE)坐标几乎保持不变。
