摘要
Blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with multiple quantum well (MQW) structures (from one to four quantum wells) within an emitting layer (EML) are fabricated with charge control layers (CCLs) to control carrier movement. The distributed recombination zone and balanced charge carrier injection within EML are achieved through the MQW structure with CCLs. Remarkably, the half-decay lifetime of a blue device with three quantum wells, measured at an initial luminance of 500 cd/m(2), is 3.5 times longer than that using a conventional structure. Additionally, the device's efficiency improved. These results are explained with the effects of triplet exciton confinement and triplet-triplet annihilation within each EML.
