Recently, the phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have been extensively studied for their high internal quantum efficiency. In this study, we synthesised several phosphorescent metal complexes, and certified their composition using NMR. We also investigated the characteristics of the phosphorescent OLEDs with the green emitting phosphor, $Ir(ppy)_{3}$. The devices with a structure of indium-tin-oxide(ITO)/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(3-methylphenyI}-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD)/metal complex doped in host materials/2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-l,10-phenanthroline(BCP)/tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) Aluminum($Alq_{3}$)/Li:Al/Al was fabricated, and its electrical and optical characteristics were studied. By changing the doping concentration of tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium ($Ir(ppy)_{3}$), we fabricated several devices and investigated their characteristics.

Polymer based organic photovoltaics have attracted a great deal of attention due to the potential cost-effectiveness of light-weight and flexible solar cells. However, most BHJ polymer solar cells are not thermally stable as subsequent exposure to heat drives further development of the morphology towards a state of macrophase separation in the micrometer scale. Here we would like to show three different approaches for developing new electroactive polymers to improve the thermal stability of the BHJ solar cells, which is a critical problem for the commercialization of these solar cells. For one of the examples, we report a new series of functionalized polythiophene (PT-x) copolymers for use in solution processed organic photovoltaics (OPVs). PT-x copolymers were synthesized from two different monomers, where the ratio of the monomers was carefully controlled to achieve a UV photo-crosslinkable layer while leaving the ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking feature of conjugated polymers unchanged. The crosslinking stabilizes PT-x/PCBM blend morphology preventing the macro phase separation between two components, which lead to OPVs with remarkably enhanced thermal stability. The drastic improvement in thermal stabilities is further characterized by microscopy as well as grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS). In the second part of talk, we will discuss the use of block copolymers as active materials for WOLEDs in which phosphorescent emitter isolation can be achieved. We have exploited the use of triarylamine (TPA) oxadiazole (OXA) diblock copolymers (TPA-b-OXA), which have been used as host materials due to their high triplet energy and charge-transport properties enabling a balance of holes and electrons. Organization of phosphorescent domains in TPA-b-OXA block copolymers is demonstrated to yield dual emission for white electroluminescence. Our approach minimizes energy transfer between two colored species by site isolation through morphology control, allowing higher loading concentration of red emitters with improved device performance. Furthermore, by varying the molecular weight of TPA-b-OXA and the ratio of blue to red emitters, we have investigated the effect of domain spacing on the electroluminescence spectrum and device performance.

본 연구에서는 발광층의 전자와 정공의 재결합 영역을 확인하고, 단계적 도핑구조를 이용하여 여기자들의 효율적인 분배를 통해 roll-off 효율을 감소시켜서 녹색 인광 유기발광다이오드의 수명 증가를 나타냈다. 발광층 내 호스트는 양극성의 4,4,N,N'-dicarbazolebiphenyl (CBP)를 사용하여 전하의 이동을 원활하게 하였다. 발광층을 네 구역으로 분할하여 각각 소자를 제작하였고, 네 구역의 도판트 농도에 따라 발광효율과 수명 향상을 보였다. 이로써 발광층 내의 단계적 도핑구조를 이용하여 캐리어와 여기자들이 원활하게 분배된 것을 확인하였다. 기준소자 대비 발광층의 도판트 농도를 5, 7, 11, 9% 순서로 단계적 도핑구조를 적용한 device C의 수명이 약 73.70% 증가하였고, 휘도 효율은 51.10 cd/A와 외부 양자 효율은 14.88%의 성능을 보였다.
