Flexible Metal Oxide Semiconductor Devices Made by Solution Methods

For the fabrication of next-generation flexible metal oxide devices, solution-based methods are considered as a promising approach because of their potential advantages, such as high-throughput, large-area scalability, low-cost processing, and easy control over the chemical composition. However, to obtain certain levels of electrical performance, a high process temperature is essential, which can significantly limit its application in flexible electronics. Therefore, this article discusses recent research conducted on developing low-temperature, solution-processed, flexible, metal oxide semiconductor devices, from a single thin-film transistor device to fully integrated circuits and systems. The main challenges of solution-processed metal oxide semiconductors are introduced. Recent advances in materials, processes, and semiconductor structures are then presented, followed by recent advances in electronic circuits and systems based on these semiconductors, including emerging flexible energy-harvesting devices for self-powered systems that integrate displays, sensors, data-storage units, and information processing functions.

A Simple Approach to Solution-Processible Small-Molecule Multi-Resonance TADF Emitters for High-Performance Narrowband OLEDs

Most multi-resonance (MR) induced thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters generally exhibit strong aggregation and relatively worse solubility due to their rigid and planar molecule structures, which is highly undesirable for solution-processible devices. Herein, a simple but feasible approach for solution-processible small-molecule MR-TADF emitters is developed by incorporating two MR-TADF units onto carbazole bridge bearing long alkyl chains. The obtained emitters demonstrate supreme film-forming capability and narrowband emissions with full-width at half-maximums (FWHMs) of 22 nm. The resulting solution-processed narrowband electroluminescent devices achieve maximum external quantum efficiency of 27.1 %, which represents the highest efficiency among the solution-processed OLEDs based on MR-TADF emitters. This simple approach reveals great potential of developing solution-processible emitters for rigid and planar molecular structures.     

Synthesis of Anthracene Derivatives with Azaacene-Containing Iptycene Wings and the Utilization as a Dopant for Solution-Processed Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Substituted acene derivatives are regarded as promising materials for organic electronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In particular, anthracene derivatives are known to exhibit good fluorescence property, with the air stability and solubility in common organic solvents expected to give advantages for solution-processed device fabrication. In this study, a series of bistriisopropylsilyl(TIPS)ethynyl anthracene derivatives with azaacene-containing iptycene wings have been synthesized by using condensation reactions. Effects of size of azaacenes on optical properties and packing structures were investigated. UV/Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra indicate that the π-elongation of iptycene units has small effects on the overall π-system, which is also supported by electrochemical measurements. Secondly, single-crystal X-ray analysis implies that the molecules likely have interactions with the iptycene units of adjacent molecules, while the iptycene wings and TIPSethynyl groups can prevent the central anthracene unit from undesirable non-radiative energy loss. Finally, the most emissive derivative was used as a dopant for solution-processed OLEDs, showing obvious electroluminescence with a luminance of over 920 cd m⁻².     

有机发光材料的电化学稳定性及其对器件稳定性的影响

有机发光器件（OLED）在平板显示和固体照明领域有着广阔的应用前景.过去的二十多年来,OLED的效率得到了大幅提升,但是器件的稳定性仍有待提高.在OLED器件中,通常认为载流子的传输涉及分子反复的氧化还原.因此,OLED材料的电化学性质是影响器件稳定性的重要因素.本文总结了近年来有关OLED材料电化学性质的研究进展,并重点探讨了材料的电化学稳定性与器件稳定性之间的关系.总结发现：（1）单极性材料的电化学不稳定性是导致器件衰减的本质原因之一;（2）双极性材料高度的电化学稳定性有助于提高器件的稳定性,但并不一定保证器件具有高稳定性;（3）有关材料分子结构的稳定性对器件稳定性的影响以及器件的本征衰变机制还有待深入研究.相信,对OLED发光材料稳定性和器件衰变机制的深入研究将有助于提高其他有机光电材料和器件的稳定性,从而推动有机电子学和相关产业的发展.

RGB small molecules based on a bipolar molecular design for highly efficient solution-processed single-layer OLEDs

In this paper, we describe a bipolar molecular design for small molecule solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Combining the rigidity of the conjugated emissive cores and the flexibility of the peripheral alkyl-linked carbazole groups, two series of highly efficient bipolar RGB (red, green, blue) emitters have been synthesized and characterized. The emissive cores are composed of electron-withdrawing groups; the carbazole groups endow the materials electron-donating units. Such bipolar structures are advantageous for the carrier injection and balance. Four peripheral carbazole groups are introduced in T-series materials (TCDqC, TCSoC, TCBzC, TCNzC), and another four in O-series materials (OCDqC, OCSoC, OCBzC, OCNzC). With the single-layer device configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/emitting layer/CsF/Al, two green devices exhibited excellent performance with a maximum luminescence efficiency of over 6.4 cd A(-1), and a high maximum luminance of more than 6700 cd m(-2). In addition, compared with the T-series, the luminescence efficiency of blue and red devices based on O-series materials increased from 1.6 to 2.8 cd A(-1) and 0.2 to 1.3 cd A(-1), respectively. To our knowledge, the performance of the blue device based on OCSoC is among the best of the blue small-molecule solution-processed single-layer devices reported so far.

Foldable semi-ladder polymers: novel aggregation behavior and high-performance solution-processed organic light-emitting transistors

A critical issue in developing high-performance organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) is to balance the trade-off between charge transport and light emission in a semiconducting material. Although traditional materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) or organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have shown modest performance in OLET devices, design strategies towards high-performance OLET materials and the crucial structure–performance relationship remain unclear. Our research effort in developing cross-conjugated weak acceptor-weak donor copolymers for luminescent properties lead us to an unintentional discovery that these copolymers form coiled foldamers with intramolecular H-aggregation, leading to their exceptional OLET properties. An impressive external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.9% in solution-processed multi-layer OLET devices was achieved.
