Abstract
One of the important factors for high efficiency phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices is to confine triplet excitons within the emitting layer. We synthesized and characterized a new hole blocking material containing silane and triazine moieties, 2,4-diphenyl-6-(4′-triphenylsilanyl-biphenyl-4-yl) -1,3,5-triazine (DTBT). Electrophosphorescent devices fabricated using the material as the hole-blocking layer and N,N′-dicarbazolyl-4,4′- biphenyl (CBP) doped with fac-tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium [Ir(ppy) 3] as the emitting layer showed a maximum external quantum efficiency (ηext) of 17.5% with a maximum power efficiency (ηp) of 47.8 lm W-1, which are much higher than those of devices using bathcuproine (BCP) (ηext = 14.5%, ηp = 40.0 lm W-1) and 4-biphenyloxolate aluminium(iii) bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinato)-4-phenylphenolate (BAlq) (ηext = 8.1%, ηp = 14.2 lm W-1) as hole-blocking layers.
