磁控溅射法制备TiO2空穴缓冲层的有机发光器件

Investigation on organic light-emitting diodes with TiO2 ultra-thin films as hole buffer layer by RF magnetron sputtering

  • 摘要: 采用磁控溅射方法在ITO表面制备了不同厚度的TiO2超薄膜用做有机发光二极管(OLEDs)的空穴缓冲层,使OLEDs(ITO/TiO2/TPD/Alq3/Al)的发光性能得到很大改善。研究TiO2缓冲层厚度对器件性能影响的结果表明,当TiO2缓冲层厚度为1 nm,电流密度为100 mA/cm2时,器件的发光效率为2 cd/A,比未加缓冲层器件的发光效率增加了近一倍。这是由于加入适当厚度的TiO2缓冲层限制了空穴的注入并且提高了空穴与电子注入之间的平衡。

     

    Abstract: Organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) using TiO2 ultra-thin films as a hole injecting buffer layer of different thicknesses were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering. The diodes with a typical structure of ITO/TiO2/TPD/Alq3/Al(TPD : N,N’-diphenyl-N,N’-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1’-diphenyl-4,4’-diamine, Alq3: tris(8-quinolinolato)-aluminum) show better electroluminescent properties in comparison with the samples without TiO2 buffer layer. The investigation on the effects of the thickness for TiO2 shows that EL efficiency of the device, which contains 1 nm TiO2 buffer layer, is improved to 2 cd/A by approximately 100% in comparison with the device without buffer layer at the current density of 100mA/cm2. It can be attributed to the limit of the injecting number of hole and the improvement of the balance of hole and electron injections by the TiO2 ultra-thin film with suitable thickness as a hole buffer layer.
