A novel organic electroluminescent device was made with the structure of ITO/PVK:Tb0.5Eu0.5(TTA)3 Dipy/ BCP/Alq3/Al(a) which utilized the rare earth complex Tb0.5Eu0.5(TTA)3 Dipy as the emitting layer. When it was driven under a direct electric field, 612 nm emission from EU^3+ and 410 nm emission from PVK were observed. In addition, in the EL spectrum a new peak at 490 nm appeared. From the analysis of different devices, the mechanism of the new emission was studied. It was concluded that the new emission was the electroplex originating from the interface between the ligand (TTA)3Dipy and BCP.
Absorption is the origin of luminescence. But it must be noticed that the lifetime of luminescence might reversely influence the rate of absorption. In this paper, it is reported that the luminescence intensity of copper and manganese changes with the driving frequency at constant voltage. The variation of luminescent intensity depends only on the lifetime of luminescence but not on the type of quenching or other factors. Generally the rate of absorption is dominantly determined by the material property and the lifetime of luminescence centres, the absorption ~f shorter lifetime centre will be larger than that of the longer lifetime centre at the same excited condition.
The carrier transport properties of the blends of the hole transport material poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) and the electron transport material tris (8-hydroxyquinolinolato) aluminumⅢ(Alq_3) are investigated at room temperature using steady-state and time-resolved transient photocurrent measurements as a function of doping concentration of Alq_3.Due to lower LUMO and higher HOMO energy level of Alq_3 than those of PVK,Alq_3 molecules may act as carrier trap states in PVK films at low concentration.However,at...
