Organic Light-Emitting Diodes based on Benzo[q]quinoline Derivatives

Abstract

In this study, we synthesized two emitting materials based on benzo[q]quinoline derivatives. OLED devices using these materials were facricated in the following sequence;ITO(180nm)/4,4',4''-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine(2-TNATA)(30nm)/N,N'-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine(NPB)(20nm)/Emitting materials(30nm)/4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen)(30nm)/Liq(2nm)/Al(100nm). Particularly, a device using 2,4-di(naphtalene-1-yl)benzo[q]quinoline as an emitter exhibited the efficient emission with a luminous efficiency, a power efficiency, and exteranl quantum efficiency of, and the CIE coordinates of 2.91cd/A, 0.99lm/W, 0.90% at 20mA/cm², and (0.33, 0.55) at 1000cd/m², respectively. Interestingly, emissions from electromers and electroplexes were shown to be crucial role in electroluminescences from benzo[q]quinoline derivatives
