摘要
An effective device design strategy was reported to realize high performance green organic light emitting diodes based on iridium complex by employing a trivalent terbium complex as the sensitizer. The low-lying energy levels of utilized terbium complex are beneficial in broadening recombination zone and facilitating carriers' balance on emitter molecules. No terbium ion characteristic emission was observed in co-doped devices ascribed to high triplet energy of the ligand of terbium complex. Consequently, the 0.4 wt% co-doped single light-emitting layer device obtained the maximum external quantum efficiency, current efficiency and power efficiency up to 27.6%, 114.23 cd/A and 101.92 Im/W, respectively. At 3.8 V, this device realized the practical brightness of 1000 cd/m(2) with inspiring external quantum efficiency and current efficiency as high as 27.5% and 113.71 cd/A, respectively. While the 0.2 wt % co-doped double light-emitting layers device displayed relatively lower efficiency, but higher brightness up to 205,629 cd/m(2). (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
