Abstract
We investigate the light-emitting performances of blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) with three different electron injection and transport materials, that is, bathocuproine(2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) (Bphen), 1,3,5-tri(m-pyrid-3-yl-phenyl)benzene (Tm3PyPB), and 2,6-bis(3-(carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)pyridine (26DCzPPy), which are partially doped with cesium metal. We find that the device characteristics are very dependent on the nature of the introduced electron injection layer (EIL) and electron transporting layer (ETL). When the appropriate EIL and ETL are combined, the peak external quantum efficiency and peak power efficiency improve up to 20.7% and 45.6 lm/W, respectively. Moreover, this blue PHOLED even maintains high external quantum efficiency of 19.6% and 16.9% at a luminance of $1,000cd/m^2$ and $10,000cd/m^2$, respectively.
