Abstract

A large band-edge offset at organic/inorganic interfaces and imbalance in charge carrier mobilities of conjugated polymers limits an efficient charge injection and recombination in polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). In this talk, I will discuss how the electrochemical doping of conjugated polymers with ultra-trace (< 1 wt%) electrochemical doping agents (EDAs) can significantly improve charge injection and balance, hence enhancing the recombination and device performance. In particular, I will highlight a dramatic reduction of turn-on voltages for current and luminance achieved in the single-layer PLED devices up to 1.2um-thick. I will also show other advantages of the ultra-trace electrochemical doping which allows fabrication of large-area devices with homogeneous electroluminescence emission. Our work provides a simple but highly feasible strategy for developing high-quality efficient light applications fully compatible with printing technologies.
