Abstract:We have investigated the electro-optical performance of green and red phosphorescent light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different thicknesses of MoO 3,using BCP as the hole-blocking and exiton limiting layer.The device structure is: ITO/MoO3(x nm)/NPB(40nm)/CBP:14%GIr1(12.5nm)/CBP:6%R-4b(5nm)/CBP:14%GIr1(12.5nm) /BCP(10nm)/Alq3(40nm)/LiF(1nm)/Al(100nm),where x i s 10nm,20nm,30nm,40nm and 50nm,separately, GIr1and R-4B are green and red phosphorescent dyes respectively.By adjusting the thickness of MoO3,we find that the device performance depends on the thickness of MoO3layer,and we achieve the optimal device.The results show that the device achieves the maximum luminance of 18000cd·m-2 at 12V,the highest current efficienc y at the thickness of 40nm at voltage of 5V, luminance is 100cd·m-2,and the maximum current efficiency is 16.91cd ·A-1.To improve the efficiency of the device,we add the TCTA blocking layer and compare two t ypes of devices,so we can obtain the highest efficiency of 20.01cd·A-1,enhanced by 19%.By analyzing the reason,we conclude that the HOMO levels of NPB,TCTA,CBP are 5.5eV,5.7eV,5.9eV,respectively,thus promoting the hole injection;the trip let energy levels of TCTA, CBP are 2.85eV,2.65eV.The higher triplet energy difference prevents the exc iton leakage from the light emitting layer.
