The results indicated that, in Alq 3 molecule, the binding energy ( E b) of Al atoms is 70.7 eV and 75.1 eV, corresponding to Al(O) and Al(Ⅲ), respectively; The binding energy of C is 285.8 eV, 286.3 eV, and 286.8 eV, corresponding to C of C-C group, C-O, and C-N bond, respectively. N is the main peak locating at 401.0 eV, corresponding to N atom of C-N=C. O atoms mainly bond to H atom, with the binding energy of 533.2 eV. As the sputtering time of Ar + ion beam increases, Al 2p , C 1s , N 1s , O 1s , In 3d 5/2 and Sn 3d 5/2 peaks slightly shift towards lower binding energy, and Al 2p , C 1s and N 1s peaks get weaker, which contributes to diffusing the oxygen, indium and tin in ITO into Alq 3 layer.展开更多

The proposed circuit is based on a double-voltage rectifier circuit and a Cockcroft-Walton circuit. The circuit can operate LED without flicker, and is free from switching noise since high frequency switching circuit is not used. To replace an AC capacitor by a DC capacitor for the ballast, a diode is connected across the capacitor in parallel, and the operating voltage of LED unit is kept at the value greater than the peak voltage of the input power source. The circuit realizes high efficiency and high input power factor compared with the operating circuits on the market. Cockcroft-Walton-type circuit can operate many LED devices in series connection. Series connection is preferable for fabricating LED unit of a constant voltage characteristic. Moreover, fairly flat waveform of LED operating current is realized by Cockcrofl-Walton-type circuit, even though capacitor ballast is used.展开更多

Organic electroluminescent material, one of the centerpieces of OLEDs, has been the focus of studies by many material scientists. To obtain high luminosity and to keep material costs low, a few remarkable design concepts have been developed. Aggregation-induced emission （AIE） materials were invented to overcome the common fluorescence-quenching problem, and cross-dipole stacking of fluorescent molecules was shown to be an effective method to get high solid-state luminescence. To exceed the limit of internal quantum efficiency of conventional fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials were successfully applied in highly efficient electroluminescent devices. Most recently, delayed flu- orescent materials via reverse-intersystem crossing （RISC） from triplet to singlet and the ＂hot exciton＂ materials based on hy- bridized local and charge-transfer （HLCT） states were developed to he a new generation of low-cost luminescent materials as efficient as phosphorescent materials. In terms of the device-fabrication process, solution-processible small molecular lumi- nescent materials possess the advantages of high purity （vs. polymers） and low procession cost （vs. vacuum deposition）, which are garnering them increasing attention. Herein, we review the progress of the development of small-molecule luminescent materials with different design concepts and features, and also briefly examine future development tendencies of luminescent materials.展开更多

The pendent amino groups endow them high solubility in polar solvents, as well as efficient electron injection capability from high work-function metals. The relationships between the photophysical and electrochemical properties and the polymer backbone structure were systematically investigated. These alcohol-soluble carbazole-based copolymers were used as cathode interlayers between the high work-function metal A1 cathode and P-PPV emissive layer in polymer light-emitting diodes with device structure of ITO/PEDOT：PSS/P-PPV/interlayer/A1. The resulting devices exhibited improved performance due to the better electron injection/transporting ability of the designed copolymers from A1 cathode to the light-emitting layer.展开更多
