- Abstract
A novel quaternary Eu(III) complex containing a carbazole fragment as hole-transporting functional group was synthesized, and its thermal stability, photoluminescent (PL), electroluminescent (EL) properties were studied. Its glass transition temperature ( Tg) was 131 °C and 5% weight loss temperature was 325 °C. In studies of its EL properties, two devices with the Eu(III) complex as red light-emitting materials were fabricated and measured. Device 1: ITO/NPB (40 nm)/Eu(III) complex (30 nm)/Alq3 (30 nm)/LiF (0.7 nm)/Al (100 nm), NPB was N, N′-di(naphthalene-1-yl)- N, N′-diphenyl-benzidine as the hole-transporting layer, Alq3 was tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum as the electron-transporting layer. Device 1 gave two emission bands of the Eu(III) complex and Alq3 with the maximum luminance of 437 cd/m2 at 17.34 V, and its turn-on voltage was 10 V. In device 2, an electron-transporting/hole-locking layer of BCP (2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 30 nm) was added between the Eu(III) complex and Alq3 layers, only a sharp red emission band of the Eu(III) complex was given with the maximum luminance of 186 cd/m2 at 20.08 V, and its turn-on voltage was 12 V.
