Abstract

We report a two-layer, blue organic light-emitting diode with a 4,4′-bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,1′-biphenyl emission layer and a LiF/Al cathode which has an external quantum efficiency of 1.4% and a maximum luminance of 3000 cd/m2. Insertion of the thin LiF layer results in a 50-fold increase in the device efficiency compared to a device with an aluminum only cathode, and eliminates the need for an electron-transporting layer, such as tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum. This results in a device with excellent color purity with an emission peak at 476 nm and a full width at half maximum of 78 nm. Using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, we find that the effective work-function of aluminum decreases dramatically with sub-monolayer amounts of LiF deposited on the surface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
