Solvent-enhanced Dye Diffusion in Polymer This-Films for OLED Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method of solvent-enhanced dye diffusion in polymer films for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) application is introduced. After an initial dye transfer from a dye source substrate into the top of the electractive polymer film, the device substrate is then exposed to solvent vapor. Due to solvent absorption by the polymer film, the glass transition temperature of the polymer is significantly decreased, which leads to greatly enhanced diffusion of the dye in the polymer film. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy shows that the temperature for dye diffusion can be decreased by 150 °C. OLEDs with 0.4% external quantum efficiency were demonstrated. The materials used are the polymer poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) combined with electron transport molecules (PBD), and the dyes coumarin 47, coumarin 6 and Nile red.

متن کاملAnomalous Temperature Dependence of Solvent-Enhanced Dye Diffusion In Polymer Films
One promising method to pattern full color polymer Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays is to print dye from a pre-patterned organic film onto a spin-cast polymer and then diffuse the dye into the film at room temperature in a solvent vapor environment. This method utilizes the well-known tendency for a polymer film to absorb solvent vapor, which depresses the glass transition temperatu...
متن کاملThree-Color Passive-Matrix Pixels Using Dye-Diffusion-Patterned Tri-Layer Polymer-Based LED
Dry dye-printing and solvent-enhanced dye diffusion were used to locally dope a previously spin-coated poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) polymer film with different dyes to fabricate side-by-side RGB OLED pixels. To reduce reverse leakage current and raise efficiency, a blanket tris-8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq) electron transport layer (ETL) was deposited over the polymer layer after the dye di...

The goal of this thesis is to achieve flexible full color AMOLED displays on clear plastic substrates using high temperature amorphous-silicon TFT’s. Dry dye-printing and solvent-enhanced dye diffusion were used to fabricate side-by-side red, green and blue organic light emitting device (OLED) pixels. The technique was then used to make combined polymer/small molecule devices, in which the prin...

In this paper we sensitized two new organic days dye 1 and dye 2 based on thioindigo with phenothiazine as the electron donor group. We used acrylic acid and cyanoacrylic acid as the electron acceptor anchoring group in dye 1 and dye 2 respectively. The proposed dyes were sensitized from phenothiazine as the starting material by standard reactions and characterized by different techniques such ...
