Abstract

A lifetime extending device structure by suppressing positive polaron induced triplet exciton-polaron annihilation was developed for improved lifetime in blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. A blue triplet emitter doped hole transport layer was introduced to control the triplet exciton-polaron annihilation of blue phosphorescent emitters in the emitting layer, which extended the lifetime of the blue phosphorescent devices. Current and ultraviolet light/current aging tests of hole and electron only devices proved that the lifetime extending mechanism of the blue triplet emitter doped hole transport layer is suppression of triplet exciton-positive polaron annihilation.
