Bistriazoles with a Biphenyl Core Derivative as an Electron-Favorable Bipolar Host of Efficient Blue Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

High-quality host materials are indispensable for the construction in the emitting layer of efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), especially in a guest and host system. The good carrier transport and energy transfer between the host and emitters are out of necessity. In this work, a wide bandgap and bipolar organic compound, 2,2'-bis(4,5-diphenyl-(1,2,4)-triazol-3-yl)biphenyl (), conjugating two electron-transporting triazole moieties on a hole-transporting biphenyl core, was synthesized and characterized.

Carrier Transport and Recombination Mechanism in Blue Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diode with Hosts Consisting of Cabazole- and Triazole-Moiety.

In this study, we demonstrated a blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode (BPOLED) based on a host with two carbazole and one trizole (2CbzTAZ) moiety, 9,9'-(2-(4,5-diphenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,3-phenylene)bis(9H-carbazole), that exhibits bipolar transport characteristics. Compared with the devices with a carbazole host (N,N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene, (mCP)), triazole host (3-(biphenyl-4-yl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole, (TAZ)), or a physical mixture of mCP:TAZ, which exhibit hole, electron, and bipolar transport characteristics, respectively, the BPOLED with the bipolar 2CbzTAZ host exhibited the lowest driving voltage (6.55 V at 10 mA/cm), the highest efficiencies (maximum current efficiency of 52.

Construction of Highly Efficient Carbazol-9-yl-Substituted Benzimidazole Bipolar Hosts for Blue Phosphorescent Light-Emitting Diodes: Isomer and Device Performance Relationships.

Four isomers of carbazol-9-yl-substituted 1,2-diphenylbenzimidazole at 7, 6, 5, and 4 positions, named as 1-CbzBiz, 2-CbzBiz, 3-CbzBiz, and 4-CbzBiz, respectively, have been synthesized. Instead of having an identical molecular weight, the CbzBiz's have their glass transition temperatures ( T) spanning a large range from 53 to 90 °C. Their T and melting point ( T) basically obey the Boyer-Kauzmann rule ( T = g· T with g ≈ 0.

Modeling of carrier transport in organic light emitting diode with random dopant effects by two-dimensional simulation.

To model the carrier transport in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with random dopant effects in the emitting layer, two-dimensional simulation was used. By including the Gaussian shape density of states and field-dependent mobility in the Poisson and drift-diffusion solver, the carrier transport, trapping in the dopant state, and radiative recombination were accurately modeled. To examine the model, the current-voltage characteristics of organic light-emitting devices were compared.

Orthogonally Substituted Benzimidazole-Carbazole Benzene As Universal Hosts for Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

The novel ambipolar hosts of o-CbzBz and o-DiCbzBz contain carbazole and benzimidazole through an ortho-connection. The orthogonal conformations cause the triplet state to be confined at the carbazole units to secure efficient energy transfer. The phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs) show a high current efficiency, power efficiency, and low efficiency roll-off.
