由於文獻中報導間三聯苯結構具有高三重態能隙及好的熱穩定性,同時噁二唑基團具有很好的成膜性及傳導電子的性質,因此在本論文中結合了間三聯苯基團和噁二唑基團,設計合成出5種電子傳輸材料PhOXD、FOXD、3PyOXD、4PyOXD及TPOTP。此系列材料的LUMO能階主要由噁二唑基團所貢獻,因此藉由修飾噁二唑基團上的取代基可以達到調整LUMO能階的作用;另外,這系列材料的三重態能隙介於2.62~2.88 eV之間並具有良好的熱性質表現,可應用於RGB三色磷光元件。在單一電子元件方面,我們比較市售的OXD-7、TAZ、BAlq、BCP/Alq3及實驗室學長所發表的tOXD-mTP,結果顯示這系列材料均有不錯的電子移動率。以CzPPQ為主體材料的紅色磷光系統中,搭配3PyOXD為電子傳輸層,其最大外部量子效率可達26.6%,電流效率可達33.5 cd/A,CIE座標(0.67, 0.33);以BCPO為主體材料的綠色磷光系統中,搭配PhOXD為電子傳輸層,其最大外部量子效率可達26.3%,電流效率可達101.7 cd/A,CIE座標(0.29, 0.64);以BCPO為主體材料的藍色磷光系統中,搭配PhOXD為電子傳輸層,最大外部量子效率達26.4%,最大電流效率可達55.0 cd/A,CIE座標(0.14, 0.32)。
In the literature, m-terphenyl-modified materials have shown high triplet energy gap and thermal stability while utilizing oxadiazole-based materials as electron-transporting materials. Therefore, in this thesis, we developed five electron transport materials: PhOXD, FOXD, 3PyOXD, 4PyOXD and TPOTP by introduction of m-terphenyl and oxadiazole moieties. The LUMO levels of these materials relied on the linkage of oxadiazole moieties; as a result, we could adjust the LUMO levels of these materials by modifying the functional groups on oxadiazole moieties. In addition, the triplet energy gaps were determined to be 2.62-2.88 eV and they also showed good thermal stability which could be suitable for various phosphors in PhOLEDs. In order to assess the electron transport properties, the electron-only devices were fabricated with these materials and commercial available materials: OXD-7, TAZ, Balq and BCP/Alq3. As expexted, our ETMs exhibit the better electron mobility than commericals. In red PhOLED, the best device using CzPPQ as a host and 3PyOXD as an ETM shows a maximum EQE of 26.6% and a maximum CE of 33.5 cd/A with CIE coordinates of (0.67, 0.33). In green PhOLED, the best device using BCPO as a host and PhOXD as an ETM exhibits a maximum EQE of 26.3%, a maximum CE of 101.7 cd/A with CIE coordinates of (0.29, 0.64). In blue PhOLED, the best device using BCPO as a host and PhOXD as an ETM exhibits a maximum EQE of 26.4%, a maximum CE of 55.0 cd/A with CIE coordinates of (0.14, 0.32).
