Highly efficient green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes with simple structure

A series of simple structures is investigated for realization of the highly efficient green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes with relatively low voltage operation. All the devices were fabricated with mixed host system by using 1,1-bis(di-4-tolylamino)phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC) and 1,3,5-tri(p-pyrid-3-yl-phenyl)benzene (TpPyPB) which were known to be hole and electron type host materials due to their great hole and electron mobilities μ_h(TAPC): 1 × 10^?2 cm²/V s and μ_e(TpPyPB): 7.9 × 10^?3 cm²/V s] 1]. The optimized device with thin TAPC (5–10 nm) as an anode buffer layer showed relatively high current and power efficiency with low roll-off characteristic up to 10,000 cd/m². The performances of the devices; with buffer layer were compared to those of simple devices with single layer and three layers. Very interestingly, the double layer device with TAPC buffer layer showed better current and power efficiency behavior compared to that of three layer device with both hole and electron buffer layers (TAPC, TpPyPB, respectively).
