高效TADF蓝光OLEDs对于制备高性能TADF/磷光杂化WOLEDs至关重要。DMAC-DPS具有较高的光致发光量子效率(PLQY)和较宽的电致发光(EL)光谱,可以减小不同颜色发光组分之间的光谱间隙,因此被广泛用作制备高CRI以及高效WOLEDs的蓝光TADF材料[14-15]。同时,DPEPO是一种电子传输型材料,具有较高的三重态能量(T1=3.3 eV),其已被广泛用作蓝光TADF分子的主体[16]。然而,DPEPO的单极输运特性往往会导致发光层中不平衡的电荷注入,在大电流密度下,器件会产生严重的效率衰减现象。与合成新的双极性主体材料相比,结合电子和空穴传输材料的激基复合物主体提供了一种简单的方法来平衡电荷载流子传输和拓宽激子复合区以优化器件性能。这里,制备了TADF蓝光器件(B1和B2),其中TCTA:DPEPO和DPEPO分别用作DMAC-DPS的主体(器件结构见实验部分总结所示)。此外,制备了器件Exciplex(结构见实验部分总结),其电致发光(EL)光谱清楚显示出一个为418 nm的主发射峰,相较于DMAC-DPS分子的发射峰蓝移(图1(b)插图所示),证明TCTA和DPEPO之间不但可以形成激基复合物,并且其激子能量可以有效转移到DMAC-DPS分子上。

图1(a)所示为蓝光器件B1和B2的电流密度-电压-亮度特性。通过引入TCTA增强了发光层中的空穴注入与传输,随着驱动电压的增加,器件B1明显表现出更高的电流密度。与器件B2的3.7 V相比,器件B1在100 cd·m−2亮度下的驱动电压降至3.5 V (如图1(a)和表1所示),这表明TCTA:DPEPO激基复合物系统带来了更低的复合能量。器件B1和B2的EQE-电流密度特性曲线如图1(b)所示,B2最大效率为36.7 cd·A−1、33.5 lm·W−1和19.5% (见表1)。由于TCTA (T1=2.85 eV)[17]与DMAC-DPS (T1=2.90 eV)[18]的三重态能量相似,它们之间可相互发生激子能量传递。因此,B1的最大效率为33.9 cd·A−1、33.3 lm·W−1和16.8% (见表1),略低于B2。然而,文中设计的白光结构中(见图2),蓝光层TCTA分子上的激子可以高效地转移到绿光层被利用而不降低总体激子利用率。此外,与器件B2相比,由于发光层中更平衡的载流子传输,随着电流密度增加,B1表现出更低的效率滚降。例如,当电流密度为30 mA·cm−2时,B1和B2的EQE已衰减到4.6%和4.7%,分别对应72.6%和75.9%的效率滚降。此外,器件B1和B2在10 mA·cm−2下的EL光谱如图1(b)插图所示。与B2相比,器件B1光谱中观察到轻微的光谱红移现象,可归因于发光分子与不同主体材料分子之间的相互作用[19]。

基于器件B1优异的双极传输特性以及低驱动电压,进一步探索其在高效TADF/磷光杂化白光器件中的应用。选择Ir(ppy)2(acac)和RD071[20]分别作为绿光和红光磷光掺杂剂制备了多层TADF/磷光杂化WOLEDs。
考虑到发光分子中DMAC-DPS具有最高的三重态激子能量,将蓝光层置于最靠近DPEPO层的位置以抑制发光层中的激子泄露。其他具有较低三重态能量的绿光和红光分子依次放置在蓝色发光层旁边,形成“级联瀑布式”的激子能量排列分布。而为了平衡白光发射优化器件的CRI和CIE,改变发光层厚度并制备了器件W1-W4,材料能级以及器件结构见图2和实验部分总结所示。在白光器件中,采用TCTA:DPEPO作为红、绿、蓝发光层统一的双极性主体,有效避免了采用不同主体而形成的有机异质结势垒,从而使得载流子在整个发光层内分布,实现较宽的复合中心。
如图3(b)以及表2总结所示,器件W1的最大EQE为15.0%,色坐标(CIE)为(0.379, 0.486),并具有满足室内照明使用的CRI(80)。为进一步提升器件的CIE,W2将蓝色发光层由W1的5 nm增大到8 nm。从图3(c)可以看出,相同电流密度下,器件的绿光发射强度表现出明显的下降,蓝光和红光发射强度都得到了一定的提升。这是由于固定绿光层厚度后,蓝光发射层中未被利用的激子可以通过“级联瀑布式”的能量传递方式传递到红色发光层中,从而增大了红光的发射强度。W2的CIE提升至(0.451, 0.428),这和标准照明体A(0.45, 0.41)的色坐标较为相近。同时,W2的CRI也提升到了88,满足了室内照明的需求。另外,器件的最大EQE提升到17.5%,这可能由于增厚的蓝光层进一步拓宽了激子复合区,提升了激子复合和利用概率。值得注意的是,由于平衡的载流子传输和较宽的复合区域,当亮度在1000~5000 cd·m−2范围内变化时,器件W2的CIE仅从(0.451, 0.428)移动到(0.445, 0.424),表现出优秀的色稳定性(图3(d))。在W2器件结构基础上,W3进一步将红光层增加到8 nm,实现了20.9%的最大EQE。与W2相比,5 mA·cm−2电流密度下W3的光谱表现出明显增强的红光发射,器件的CIE、CRI和色温(CCT)分别为(0.506, 0.411)、81和2146 K(如表2总结所示),落在黑体辐射曲线附近,实现了类烛光(Candle like-style)的暖白光[21]。同时,与W2类似,W3也实现了非常稳定的发射光谱,在实用亮度1000~5000 cd·m−2范围内,器件的CIE漂移仅为(0.001, 0.006)。为了进一步研究不同发光层厚度对器件性能的影响,同时制备了对比器件W4。器件W4将W2的绿光层增加了2 nm并明显表现出增强的绿光发射(图3(c)),其最大EQE为16.5%。有趣的是,器件W4也表现出非常好的色稳定性,在1000~5000 cd·m−2范围内,W4的CIE漂移为(0.003, 0.004),表明器件的色稳定性不随发光层的厚度发生变化。同时,由于激基复合物主体优异的载流子平衡能力以及拓宽的激子复合区抑制了激子聚集淬灭过程,W1~W4表现出优异的效率滚降特性,在1000 cd·m−2的亮度下,W1~W4的EQE分别衰减到12.0%、12.3%、16.6%和11.6%,对应20.0%、29.7%、20.6%和29.7%的效率滚降。表2对TADF/磷光杂化WOLEDs性能进行了总结。

为了进一步理解激基复合物主体的功能以及探究基于激基复合物主体白光器件的工作机理,制备了器件W5作为W2的对比器件,其结构见实验部分总结。在红色和绿色磷光层采用TCTA单主体而在TADF蓝光层继续采用TCTA:DPEPO激基复合物主体。相较于W2的光谱,W5中的光谱表现出增强的蓝光和绿光发射(图4(d))。这是由于TCTA具有优异的空穴迁移率,激子主要复合区自然位于蓝光和绿光层的狭窄界面处[22-24],这将增强绿光和蓝光发射。然而,狭窄的复合区致使W5中存在更为严重的激子聚集淬灭现象,如图4(b)所示,W5最大EQE为14.0%,明显低于W2。此外,在1000 cd·m−2的亮度下,W5的EQE也下降到9.2%,对应34.3%的效率滚降,表现出更严重的效率滚降特性(表2总结所示)。

总结以上实验结果,激基复合物主体TADF/磷光杂化WOLEDs的工作机理可由图5描述。与窄激子复合区的器件相比,结合空穴和电子输运特性的激基复合物系统拓宽了激子复合区[25-26],其可以覆盖整个发光区,将明显提升激子复合发光效率并改善效率滚降特性。此外,通过合理设计器件结构并利用蓝-绿-红发光层之间级联式激子能量转移路径,可以将所有激子用于白光发射。值得注意的是,相邻发光层之间没有间隔层,使得每个发光层中的激子都可以扩散到相邻层中。激子的这种区间自由扩散可以抑制电荷积累,避免激子-激子以及激子-极化子之间的湮灭现象[27-28],这是实现最大化器件量子效率的关键。所以,文中所提出的TADF/磷光杂化WOLEDs共有三种激子利用路径来实现白光发射。首先,激子在激基复合物系统中形成,并通过能量转移扩散到掺杂剂分子上辐射衰减发光(如图5路径1所示);其次,激子可以通过蓝-绿-红级联方式进行层间能量转移并被利用(如图5路径2所示);最后,发光掺杂剂分子可以直接捕获电荷载流子形成激子并复合发光(如图5路径3所示),但其对色稳定性无影响。

为了进一步降低器件工作电压优化器件功耗,制备了器件W6(具体器件结构见实验部分总结)。将电子传输层TPBi替换为具有优异电子迁移率的BPPB(2,2'-(1,3-苯基)双[9-苯基-1,10-菲啰啉])[29]。同时,将空穴阻挡层DPEPO替换为电子迁移率更高的PPF(2,8-双(二苯基磷酰基)二苯并[b,d]呋喃)[30],并且其具有高的三重态能量(T1=3.1 eV),可以抑制发光层中的激子泄露。
如图6(a)所示,器件W6明显表现出更低的驱动电压,100 cd·m−2亮度下的工作电压仅为2.9 V。由于更低的功耗,如图6(c)所示,器件W6的功率效率进一步提升到52.6 lm·W−1。同时,由于PPF良好的激子限制作用,W6的EQE高达19.3%,而随着电流密度的增加,器件W6比W2显示出更低的效率滚降(见图6(b)),表明W6进一步改善了载流子传输平衡。值得注意的是在1000~5000 cd·m−2亮度范围内,W6同W2一样也获得了优异的色稳定性,且CRI高达90(见图6(b)中插图),实验结果进一步证明该设计策略的可行性。

摘要: 发光层中载流子的平衡以及拓宽的激子分布对于制备高性能白光有机发光二极管(WOLEDs)至关重要。采用蓝光热激活延迟荧光(TADF)分子DMAC-DPS、绿光磷光分子Ir (ppy)2(acac)和红光磷光分子RD071制备了基于激基复合物主体的TADF/磷光杂化WOLEDs。在发光层中引入TCTA:DPEPO激基复合物作为主体不仅平衡了电荷和空穴传输,拓宽了激子复合区,并构建蓝-绿-红发光层之间级联式激子能量传递,有效提升了激子利用率,降低了器件的效率滚降。通过调控发光层中载流子平衡及激子分布,白光器件的最大电流效率(CE)、功率效率(PE)和外量子效率(EQE)分别为37.1 cd·A−1、36.4 lm·W−1和17.5%,并且在1000 cd·m−2亮度下依旧保持在26.6 cd·A−1、18.2 lm·W−1和12.3%,对应色坐标(CIE)和显色指数(CRI)分别为(0.451,0.428)和88。值得注意的是,在1000~5000 cd·m−2亮度范围内,CIE变化仅为(0.006, 0.004),表现出优异的色稳定性。同时,通过单极性主体和双极性主体的对比,阐明了双极性主体中载流子复合及激子能量传递机制。最终,通过器件传输层的优化进一步降低了器件的工作电压,提升了载流子平衡性,器件EQE及PE分别提升至19.3%和52.6 lm·W−1,并保持了高的显色指数(CRI=90)及良好的色稳定性。Abstract:
Objective White organic lighting-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) have attracted significant interest in the fields of flexible flat panel displays and large-area solid-state lighting due to their merits of ultrathin, large-scale and low-cost. Phosphorescent OLEDs can achieve 100% exciton utilization. However, the lack of stable blue phosphorescent materials hinders the commercial application of all phosphorescent WOLEDs. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials, which can harvest triplet excitons through efficient reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) and achieve nearly 100% internal quantum efficiency (IQE) are emerging as next generation emitters for OLEDs. Therefore, hybrid TADF/phosphorescent WOLEDs have become an alternative for preparing high efficiency and stable WOLEDs. Generally, in WOLEDs, unbalanced carrier transport in light-emitting layers (EMLs) usually leads to narrow exciton recombination regions, which reduces the efficiency and color stability at a high current density. Various methods, including inserting interlayers between EMLs have been proposed to improve color stability. However, the organic-organic barriers between the interlayers and EMLs enlarge the driving voltages and exacerbate exciton accumulation. Therefore, developing WOLEDs with balanced carrier transport and broadening the exciton recombination zones are the key to simultaneously achieving high efficiency and stable white emission. Methods High efficiency hybrid TADF/phosphorescent WOLEDs are prepared in this study. An exciplex system TCAT:DPEPO is chosen as the host to improve charge balance and optimize exciton distribution. Moreover, a cascaded exciton energy transfer route is constructed to improve exciton utilization efficiency. The working mechanism of devices is illustrated by examining host effects in EMLs. Moreover, the carrier balance is further enhanced by optimizing the transport layer. Results and Discussions The bipolar exciplex host (TCTA:DPEPO) and traditional host DPEPO are comparably investigated in blue TADF devices (Fig.1). By modulating the thicknesses of light-emitting layers, high-efficiency hybrid TADF/phosphorescent WOLEDS based on exciplex host have been achieved with excellent color stability and a high color rendering index (CRI) of 88 (Fig.3). The comparison experiment shows that the outstanding performance of hybrid TADF/phosphorescent WOLEDs is attributed to the widened exciton recombination region and reasonable exciton utilization routes (Fig.4). In addition, by optimizing the electron transport layer, the power efficiency is further improved, achieving maximum values of 52.6 lm·W−1 and 19.3% for power efficiency and EQE, respectively (Fig.6). Conclusions High efficiency, color stable and low efficiency roll-off TADF/phosphorescent hybrid WOLEDs based on exciplex host are achieved. In the proposed WOLEDs, an exciplex host is utilized in EMLs to broad exciton recombination region and a cascaded exciton energy transfer route is constructed to improve exciton utilization. Hybrid WOLEDs exhibit excellent color stability and low efficiency roll-off. Maximum values of PE and EQE are 36.4 lm·W−1 and 17.5% (maintaining 18.2 lm·W−1 and 12.3% at 1000 cd·m−2), respectively. With balanced white emission, the WOLED reaches a CIE of (0.451, 0.428) and a high CRI of 88. By further optimizing the transport layer of WOLEDs, the EQE is further improved to 19.3%, and a maximum power efficiency of 52.6 lm·W−1 and a CRI of 90 are achieved. The design strategy proposed in this study provides a simple but feasible approach for high performance hybrid TADF/phosphorescent WOLEDs. -
