Energy structure and electro-optical properties of organic layers with carbazole derivative

Abstract Phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes are perspective in lighting technologies due to high efficient electroluminescence. Not only phosphorescent dyes but also host materials are important aspect to be considered in the devices where they are a problem for blue light emitting phosphorescent molecules. Carbazole derivative 3,6-di(9-carbazolyl)-9-(2-ethylhexyl)carbazole (TCz1) is a good candidate and has shown excellent results in thermally evaporated films. This paper presents the studies of electrical properties and energy structure in thin films of spin-coated TCz1 and thermally evaporated tris[2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine]iridium(III) (Ir(Fppy)3). The 0.46 eV difference …
