Electrical Characteristics of Green Emitting Phosphor $Ir(PPY)_3$ Doped OLEDs

The organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on fluorescence have low efficiency due to the requirement of spin-symmetry conservation. By using the phosphorescent material, internal quantum efficiency can reach 100%, compared with 25% in the case of the fluorescent material. Thus, phosphorescent OLEDs have recently been extensively studied and shown higher internal quantum efficiency than the conventional OLEDs. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the phosphorescent OLEDs with the green emitting phosphor, $Ir(ppy)_3$ (tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium). The device with a structure of ITO/TPD$Ir(ppy)_3$ doped in BCP/BCP/$Alq_3$/Li:Al/Al was fabricated, and its electrical and optical characteristics were studied. By changing the doping concentration of $Ir(ppy)_3$, we fabricated several devices and investigated their characteristics.
