제목 Degradation Mechanism of Blue-Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Devices
초록 Chemical degradation is responsible for short lifetimes of organic light-emitting devices. However, the molecular mechanism by which degradation initiates has yet to be fully understood to date. We investigated exciton-mediated formation of a radical ion pair between a wide bandgap host and a series of blue-phosphorescent Ir(III) complexes. Electrochemical studies predicted an occurrence of reductive electron transfer from dopants to host exciton to form a radical ion pair. A variety of spectroscopic techniques were employed to monitor the generation and annihilation of the radical ion pair. We found a linear correlation between device lifetimes and rate constants for charge recombination. Analyses of degradation byproducts indicated breakage of C-N bonds in both radical ion species, prior to charge recombination. Our findings demonstrate the importance of controlling exciton-induced electron transfer within an emitting layer, and enable novel strategies to improved device longevity.
