Abstract:

Hyperbranched electrophosphorescent polymers, which had a core of iridium complex, 3,6-carba-zole as branch, were synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation. The photoluminance quantum efficiency of the PCzIrMppy3 polymer was 62%, and the HOMO energy levels of the resulted polymers was -5.22 eV, respectively, which was very close to the anode ITO/PEDOT∶PSS of -5.20 eV, suggesting their excellent hole inject property. The green electrophosphorescent light-emitting device based on PCzIrMppy3 polymer with structure of ITO/PEDOT∶PSS/Emissive layer/CsF/Al achieved maximal luminous efficiency of 10.4 cd/A and maximal luminance of 34758 cd/m2. Besides, the device performance was isolated with respect to current density, which indicated that this kind of hyper-branched molecular structure was quite favorable for reducing triplet annihilation of electrophosphorescent copolymers at high current density.
