Abstract
This paper presents 2-(hydroxyl) quinoline lithium (Liq) used as an n-type dopant to improve white hybrid organic light-emitting diode (WHOLEDs) performance. The Liq doped tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq3) layer possessed enhanced electron injection, efficient hole and electron balance in the emitting layer, as one of the most essential issues for device applications. This work investigates the optimum recipe (Liq concentration and thickness) of Alq3:Liq n-type doped electron injection layer (EIL) for WHOLED devices by comparing the current density and efficiency results with conventional Alq3/LiF technique. A blocking layer or interlayer is inserted between emitting layer and EIL to avoid excitons quenched. In this work suitable material and optimum thickness for blocking layer are studied, a white small-molecular organic light-emitting diode (SM-OLEDs) based on a 1,3,5-tris (N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl) benzene (TPBi) stamping transfer process is investigated. The proposed stamping transfer process can avoid the complexity of the vacuum deposition process.
