White light emitting OLED(organic light emitting diode)s were fabricated utilizing DPVBi as blue host material and rubrene as orange light emitting dopant with different structures. Of the 4 different structure OLED devices the one configuration was found to give high luminescence(12,360 cd/㎡), efficiency(2.7 cd/A) and white color coordinates(X=0.33, Y=0.32).
The copolymer containing carbazole and aromatic amine unit were also synthesized by using Pd-catalyzed polycondensation reaction. The polymers were characterized and their UV and PL properties were examined in solution and film state .
The two polymer samples, poly [N-(2ethylhexyl)-3,6-carbazole-alt-aniline] [P1] and poly[(bis(6-N-(2-ethylhexyl)-carbazole-3-yl))-alt-aniline] [P2],
were tested both as light emitting layer and hole injection/transparent layer in the OLED devices.
The polymers P1 and P2 were then tried as hole injection/transport layer in the OLED devices since the polymers contained aromatic amine moiety in the repeating unit. The OLED devices fabricated had structure of (ITO/PEDOT : PSS/conjugatedpolymer/DPVBI(rubrene 0.2 %)/DPVBi/BCP/Alq3/Al) and (ITO/conjugatedpolymer
/DPVBi(rubrene 0.2 %) /DPVBi/BCP/Alq3/Al). Here PEDOT:PSS is a commercially available polymer currently used as hole injection material. The former OLED device had PEDOT:PSS as hole injection layer and synthesized polymer as hole transport layer and the latter OLED device had synthesized polymer both as hole injection and transport layer.
The performance of white OLED devices with polymer P1, P2 as HIL/HTL layer contained blue host(DPVBi) and orange dopant(rubrene) as emitting layer. The OLED device with polymer(P1) as HIL/HTL layer exhibited white color coordinate at (X=0.32, Y=0.31), luminescence 347 cd/㎡ at 19V and efficiency 0.10 cd/A. The OLED device with polymer(2) as HIL/HTL layer showed white color coordinate at (X=0.33, Y=0.29), luminescence 470 cd/㎡ at 20V and efficiency 0.30 cd/A.
It was noted that the new polymer synthesized showed the potential as new hole injection/transport layer material which could replace the known PEDOT:PSS hole injection layer material.
