本研究成功使用旋轉塗佈法成膜聚乙烯亞胺 (polyethyleneimine, PEI) 做為電子注入層,並搭配各種高功函數金屬 (鋁、銀、金) 做為陰極,應用在以黃光材料PDY-132作為主動層的高分子發光二極體中,使元件能在低操作電壓時誘發電子載子注入到有機發光層內,增加發光效率。
使用聚乙烯亞胺增加電子注入提升效率主要的主要機制有:1.聚乙烯亞胺能在和金屬的界面產生偶極矩進而有效改變真空能階,使注入的位障降低。2. 聚乙烯亞胺可以在發光層和金屬間做為一個緩衝層,有效防止蒸鍍金屬時,金屬擴散進入主動層使激子 (exciton) 由非放光形式釋放能量。
搭配Al金屬的元件,效率從0.08 cd/A提升到5.68 cd/A;搭配Ag金屬時,效率從0.15 cd/A提升到6.79 cd/A;搭配Au金屬時,從元件無法運作到效率4.67 cd/A,證明加入聚乙烯亞胺做為電子注入層後,確實能適用於各種金屬來降低電子注入的位障。如此一來既可以克服低功函數在一般大氣環境下的不穩定,也能因著對於金屬沒有選擇性的特性使材料發展可能性更廣泛。
In this work, we report the highly efficient yellow polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) achieved by introducing a soluble polyethyleneimine (PEI) between the high work-function cathodes and the polymer emitting layer (PDY-132). It reduces the barrier height between emitting layer and cathode, and therefore improves device performance.
The mechanisms of polyethyleneimine as electron injection layer (EIL) to increase the electron injection are 1. Interfacial dipole between Polyethylenimine/metal can change the vacuum energy level thus reduces the barrier height for electron injection. 2. Polyethylenimine as a buffer layer between the emitting layer and the metal can prevent the diffusion of metal particles into the active layer when (thermally) depositing metal and also suppress the formation of metal-induced EL quenching sites in the emitting layer.
With the devices of Al as cathode, the efficiency uplifts from 0.08 cd/A to 5.68 cd/A; with Ag cathode, the efficiency from 0.15 cd/A up to 6.79 cd/A; and with Au cathode, device improves from not-workingto 4.67 cd/A. The result proves that by adding polyethyleneimine as an electron injection layer, the material can apply to all kinds of metal to reduce the electron injection barrier. Therefore, PEI as an EIL can not only overcome the instability of the low work function metal in the atmosphere, but also have more potential develop because of selective characteristics of the material.
