Enhancement of External Quantum Efficiency of Red Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Devices with Facially Encumbered and Bulky PtII Porphyrin Complexes

An enhancement in the external quantum efficiency (QE) of red phosphorescent organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs) by using facially encumbered and bulky meso‐aryl substituted PtII porphyrin complexes is demonstrated. The maximum external QEs of phosphorescent OLEDs doped with the facially non‐encu...

Description
Summary:An enhancement in the external quantum efficiency (QE) of red phosphorescent organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs) by using facially encumbered and bulky meso‐aryl substituted PtII porphyrin complexes is demonstrated. The maximum external QEs of phosphorescent OLEDs doped with the facially non‐encumbered PtII porphyrin complex 1 [5,15‐bis[4‐(4,4‐dimethyl‐2,6‐dioxacyclohexyl)phenyl]‐2,8,12,18‐tetrahexyl‐3,7,13,17‐tetramethylporphyrin platinum(II)], the facially encumbered PtII porphyrin complex 2 [5,15‐bis(2,6‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐2,8,12,18‐tetrahexyl‐3,7,13,17‐tetramethylporphyrinato platinum(II)], the PtII porphyrin complex 3 that bears bulkier 3,5‐di‐tert‐butylphenyl substituents [5,15‐bis(3,5‐di‐t‐butylphenyl)‐2,8,12,18‐tetrahexyl‐3,7,13,17‐tetramethylporphyrin platinum(II)], and the “doubly‐decamethylene‐strapped” PtII porphyrin complex 4 were 1, 4.2, 7.3, and 8.2 %, respectively. The trend of increasing QE values in the order of 1
