Green-Yellow Electrophosphorescence from di [2,5-diphenyl- 1,3,4-oxadiazole C2′ , N^3] Platinum（II） Doped PVK Devices

Employing a blend of poly (N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) and 5-biphenyl-2-(4-tert-butyl)phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole) (PBD) as host matrix and a novel bicyclometalated Pt-complex containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety as guest matrix with 2 wt. % doping concentration, we have demonstrated efficient phosphorescence-based polymer lightemitting devices (PLEDs). The devices emitted intense green yellow electrophosphorescence. No emission from either PVK or PBD was observed for the devices. The electroluminescence spectrum exhibited three primary peaks at 525nm, 568nm and 608nm. A maximum external quantum efficiency of 2.3% ph/el and a luminous efficiency of 3.Scd/A were achieved at a current density of 3.4mA/cm^2. The results demonstrate that highly efficient electrophosphorescence can be achieved from platinum complex-based polymer light-emitting devices.
