Abstract

We study the correlation between the shift in recombination zone and the efficiency roll-off in typical PHOLEDs. To probe the shift in recombination zone, electroluminescence spectra of devices with various architectures at different current densities are studied. Results show that high efficiency at low current density mostly originates from the interfacial emission at the EML/ETL interface due to the formation of host excitons followed by the subsequent energy transfer to the guests. Furthermore, increase in the current density shifts the recombination zone from the EML/ETL interface towards the HTL/EML interface where the device emission is the result of direct charge trapping on the guest sites. The results suggest that the shift in recombination zone and subsequent change in emission mechanism play a main role on the efficiency roll-off.
