Abstract

A high efficient organic red light emitting device with structure of DNTPD/TAPC/$Bebq_2$ :[$(pq)_2Ir(acac)$, SFC-411]/SFC-137 was fabricated on the plastic substrate, which can be applied in the fields of flexible display and illumination. In the device structure, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis-[4-(phenyl-m-tolylamino)-phenyl]-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine[DNTPD] as a hole injection layer and 1,1-bis-(di-4-tolylaminophenyl) cyclohexane [TAPC] as a hole transport were used. Bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolinato) beryllium complex [$Bebq_2$] was used as a light emitting host material. The host material, $Bebq_2$ was doubly doped with volume ratio of 7% iridium(III)bis-(2-phenylquinoline)acetylacetonate[$(pq)_2$Ir(acac)] and 3% SFC-411[red phosphor dye coded by the proprietary company]. And then, SFC-137 was used as an electron transport layer. The luminous intensity and current efficiency of the fabricated device were $22,780\;cd/m^2$ at 9V and 17.3 cd/A under $10,000\;cd/m^2$, respectively. The maximum current efficiency of the device was 22.4cd/A under $580\;cd/m^2$.
