Abstract
An efficient organic light-emitting device using a trivalent europium (Eu) complex Eu ( Tmphen )( TTA ) 3 ( TTA = thenoyltrifluoroacetone , Tmphen =3,4,7,8- tetramethyl -1,10- phenanthroline ) as the dopant emitter was fabricated. The devices were a multilayer structure of indiumtin oxide/N,N-diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1-biphenyl-4,4-diamine (40 nm)/ Eu complex:4,4-N,N-dicarbazole-biphenyl (1%, 30 nm)/2,9-dimethyl,4,7-diphenyl-1,10phenanthroline (20 nm)/AlQ (30 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm). A pure red light with a peak of 612 nm and a half bandwidth of 3 nm, which is the characteristic emission of trivalent europium ion, was observed. The devices show the maximum luminance up to 800 cd/m2, an external quantum efficiency of 4.3%, current efficiency of 4.7 cd/A, and power efficiency of 1.6 lm/W. At the brightness of 100 cd/m2, the quantum efficiency reaches 2.2% (2.3 cd/A).Keywords
