Definitions
- This invention relates to electroluminescent devices and particularly to such devices which have a conjugated polymer as the light emissive layer.
- Electroluminescent devices of the type with which the present invention is concerned are described for example in
- electroluminescent (EL) devices comprises a polymer film sandwiched between two electrodes, one of which injects electrons, the other of which injects holes.
- Electrodes can provide many defect states and efficiencies can be raised substantially by introducing an additional layer between the emissive (polymer) layer and the calcium
- poly(2,5-dialkoxyphenylenevinylene) is red-shifted, by some 0.4eV, with respect to PPV.
- poly(2,5-dimethoxy-p-phenylenevinylene), PDMeOPV allow fine-tuning of the band gap. Furthermore, controlled
- the present invention seeks to provide an electroluminescent device having a broader range of colour emission.
- an electroluminescent device comprising: a first charge carrier injecting layer for injecting positive charge carriers; a first layer of a semiconductive conjugated polymer having a band gap selected such that when it is excited radiation at a first wavelength is emitted; a second layer of a semiconductive conjugated polymer having a band gap selected such that when it is excited radiation at a second wavelength is emitted; a second charge carrier injecting layer for injecting negative charge carriers; and means to enable an electric field to be applied across the said layers wherein at least a part of each of the first and second layers is located in an emission zone of the device, said emission zone
- This zone has a width resulting from the capture region of the device where excitons are formed and which is also related to the diffusion characteristic of the excitons.
- the width of the emission zone can be approximately the same as that of the captive region or it can extend beyond it where the excitons diffuse from it before decaying
- the characteristic diffusion length for an exciton determines the critical width of the emission zone but there are other possibilities.
- the inventors have thus determined that it is possible to control the properties of a multilayer electroluminescent device by selecting the thicknesses of the polymer layers so that at least two layers have parts in the emission zone.
- the invention involves the use of several polymer layers with different band gaps, with layer thicknesses selected to be smaller than or comparable to, the width of the emission zone. This results in excitons in two or more layers, and thus to light emission from the two or more layers. This then gives light emission with a broader spectral range than can be achieved with one layer. This (together with a colour filter, if necessary) may allow fabrication of a white light source.
- the experimental evidence is to the effect that the width of the emission zone is of the order of 50nm.
- the first layer has a thickness which is not greater than 50nm.
- more than two such layers can be provided depending on the required colour of emitted radiation.
- the emission zone will extend for a width not greater than 200nm, but this depends on the nature of the polymer layers and charge carrier injection layers. The location of the emission zone with respect to the charge carrier injection layers depends on the mobilities of
- emission zone can include part of two layers, part of one layer and a complete other layer or parts of two layers and a complete other layer.
- the electroluminescent device can include an additional layer of a conjugated polymer adjacent the second charge carrier injecting layer which is not necessarily electroluminescent but which instead functions as a barrier layer.
- the second charge carrier injecting layer is calcium and the first charge carrier injecting layer is indium-tin oxide coated onto a glass substrate.
- conjugated polymer indicates a polymer for which the main chain is either fully conjugated
- the present invention can utilise any conjugated polymer which is capable of forming a thin electroluminescent film.
- Particularly preferred conjugated polymers include
- poly(p-phenylene vinylene)PPV and copolymers including that polymer are preferred features of the polymers used with the respective layers are that they should be stable to oxygen, moisture and to exposure to elevated temperatures, they should have good adhesion to an underlying layer, good resistance to thermally-induced and stress-induced cracking, good resistance to shrinkage, swelling, re-crystallisation or other
- the polymer film should be resilient to ion/atomic migration processes, for example by virtue of a high crystallinity and high melting temperature. Particularly preferred polymers are discussed in the
- a particularly suitable polymer is a poly(2,5-dialkoxyphenylenevinylene).
- Examples are MEHPPV, poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-methylpentyloxy)-1,4- ⁇ henylenevinylene),
- suitable conjugated polymers can also be selected from the poly(alkylthienylene)s.
- One example is poly(3-dodecylthienylene).
- the film of conjugated polymer is preferably a film of a poly(p-phenylenevinylene) [PPV] of formula
- phenylene ring may optionally carry one or more substituents each independently selected from alkyl (preferably methyl), alkoxy (preferably methoxy or ethoxy) or any other substituent which maintains electroluminescent properties in the conjugated polymer.
- arylene is intended to include in its scope all types of arylenes including heteroarylenes as well as arylenes incorporating more than one ring structure including fused ring structures.
- conjugated polymers derived from poly(p-phenylenevinylene) are also suitable for use as the polymer film in the EL devices of the present invention.
- Typical examples of such derivatives are polymers derived by:
- the ring systems may carry the various
- the copolymer is a conjugated poly(arylenevinylene) copolymer with a proportion of the vinylic groups of the copolymer saturated by the inclusion of a modified group substantially stable to elimination during formation of a film of the copolymer.
- the proportion of saturated vinylic groups controls the extent of conjugation and thus modulates the semiconductor
- polymers for use in the present invention are capable of being processed either as precursors which are subsequently converted to a conjugated form or as
- the invention also provides a method of making an
- electroluminescent device comprising the following steps:
- first charge carrier injecting layer for injecting positive charge carriers; depositing on said charge carrier injecting layer a first layer of a soluble polymer in a solution of a first solvent and to a first predetermined thickness; depositing a second layer of polymer in the form of a precursor in a solution of a second solvent to a second predetermined thickness; heat treating the device so that the precursor is converted to its polymer which is insoluble; and depositing a second charge carrier injecting layer for
- first and second predetermined thicknesses are selected so that at least a part of each of the first and second layers is located in an emission zone of the device.

- Curve g corresponds to polymer c) MEHPPV
- curve h corresponds to polymer a) PPV
- curve i corresponds to copolymer b). Description of the preferred embodiment
- the band gap of the polymer obtained after thermal conversion is blue-shifted with respect to PPV due to the presence of non-eliminated methoxy groups at the vinylic carbons adjacent to the dialkoxy-substituted phenylenes.
- the resulting copolymer has a ⁇ - ⁇ * band gap of about 2.6eV.
- Both the THT-leaving group precursors to PPV and the copolymer are such they can be laid down by spin coating in solution of a solvent, which when dry, forms a stable layer onto which a further layer may be put down. This enables the construction of multilayer structures since, once a layer has dried, subsequent deposition of additional polymer layers will not remove the initial layer.
- the two THT-leaving group precursor polymers are insoluble in chloroform, but soluble in
- MEHPPV is soluble in chloroform, but insoluble in methanol. This difference in solvents allows a layer of precursor to be spin-coated on top of a layer of MEHPPV without removal of the MEHPPV and vice-versa.
- Film thicknesses of the polymer layers were set by control of both spin-speed and solution concentration as follows: the copolymer at 20nm, MEHPPV at 50nm and PPV at more than 50nm.
- the thicknesses of the individual polymer layers and total polymer layer were measured with a Dektak IIA surface profiler.
- the samples were thermally converted at 200°C in vacuo ( 10 -6 torr) for 12 hours to convert the precursor polymers. Calcium contacts were vacuum deposited on the samples and the samples were hermetically sealed. Sample areas were 1 mm 2 .
- an indium-tin oxide coated glass substrate 1 was spin coated firstly with a precursor to the copolymer (b) at a thickness of 20nm (layer 21). The layer was allowed to dry and then a precursor to PPV (a) in the thickness of 230nm (layer 22) was laid down by spin coating, and allowed to dry. Finally a layer 23 of MEHPPV (c) in the thickness of 50nm was laid down by spin coating.
- Layers 21 and 22 were put down in a solution of methanol and layer 23 was put down in a solution of chloroform. The sample was then heat treated to cause thermal conversion of the precursors to the copolymer in layer 21 and to PPV in layer 22. Finally a calcium contact 2 was vacuum deposited on layer 23.
- Device II as illustrated in Figure 3b was formed as follows. Onto an indium-tin oxide coated glass substrate 1 there was spin coated a first layer 31 of MEHPPV in the thickness of 50nm which was allowed to dry, and then a precursor to PPV 32 in the thickness of 50nm and allowed to dry. Then a precursor to the copolymer 33 was laid down by spin coating in the thickness of 20nm. The first layer 31 was put down in a solution of chloroform and the second and third layers 32,33 were put down in a solution of methanol. The device was heat treated to thermally convert the precursors in layers 32 and 33 to the respective polymers PPV and the copolymer and a calcium contact 2 was then vacuum deposited onto layer 33.
- Device III illustrated in Figure 3c was formed as follows. Onto an indium-tin oxide coated glass substrate 1 was spin coated a first layer 41 of a precursor to the copolymer in a thickness of 20nm. The precursor was allowed to dry. A second layer 42 of MEHPPV is laid down by spin coating in the thickness of 50nm and allowed to dry and then a third layer 43 of the precursor to PPV is laid down by spin coating in a thickness of 150nm. After this layer had dried a fourth layer 44 of a precursor to the copolymer was laid down by spin coating in a thickness of 20nm. The device was then heat treated to thermally convert the precursors to their
- Device IV illustrated in Figure 3d was formed as follows.
- an indium-tin oxide coated glass substrate 1 was spin coated a precursor 51 to the copolymer in the thickness of 20nm. This was then allowed to dry.
- a precursor to PPV 52 was laid down by spin coating in a thickness of 30nm and allowed to dry and then a precursor to the copolymer 53 was laid down by spin coating in the thickness of 20nm.
- the sample was then heat treated and a calcium contact 2 was vacuum deposited onto the third layer 53.
- the calcium contact 2 serves as a cathode for injecting negative charge carriers and the indium-tin oxide serves as an anode for injecting positive charge
- Reference numeral 4 indicates a negative contact and reference numeral 6 indicates a positive contact.
- the layer adjacent the calcium contact 2 is a layer of the copolymer which, after heat treatment, is insoluble in common solvents.
- This layer acts as a barrier layer to shield the cathode from chemical attack, while allowing the injection of charge carrier into the emissive region.
- This layer of copolymer also serves to resist the diffusion of mobile ions released from the reactive cathode through the polymer layer. It also provides the device with strength, mechanical rigidity and stability at high temperatures. Furthermore, it protects the soluble polymer (MEHPPV) so that the desirable properties of MEHPPV such as the required colour or high efficiency for
- the indium-tin oxide coated glass As explained above, the indium-tin oxide coated glass
- the substrate serves as an anode for the device while the calcium contact 2 serves as a cathode. These constitute means for enabling an electric field to be applied across the layers.
- the devices were driven by applying a positive bias to the ITO with a Keithley 230 voltage source and electric currents were monitored with a Keithley 195A multimeter.
- Electroluminescence (EL) was observed through the ITO
- Integrated light output was monitored with a large-area calibrated silicon photodiode in photoamperic mode, measuring the photocurrent as a voltage across a 1M ⁇
- the four device configurations show colours of emission from red to yellow/green. Electrical and electro-optical
- Table 1 characteristics for these devices are shown in Table 1, and in Figures 2a, 2b and 4.
- Table V the layers are denoted in numerical order from the ITO content 1.
- Figures 2a and 2b note that different thicknesses of the combined polymer layers give different drive voltages, but that these scale to give a universal curve for current density versus electric field.
- Figure 2b shows the current density against electric field voltage characteristics of the four devices.
- Figure 4 shows the emission spectra from the various devices (the spectra are offset and normalised to give equal peak heights at the peak emission wavelengths). Also displayed are emission spectra from unilayer devices of PPV and the copolymer. The
- Figures 2a and 2b show clearly that the current density under forward bias is determined primarily by the electric field (calculated as the applied voltage divided by the sum of the individual layer thicknesses). In contrast to the results obtained for the devices formed with PPV and the butyl
- PBD/PMMA layers discussed in the reference referred to above by P.L. Burn et al
- the devices studied here do not show a large build-up of space charge at the interfaces between polymer layers.
- the small differences in band gap for the polymers in contact with the metal electrode layers do not affect significantly the threshold fields for charge injection
- Structure I was the only structure to show an emission spectrum characteristic of a single polymer layer, in this case MEHPPV. There is no contribution to the emission
- Structure II has the same combination of polymer layers as structure I but constructed the other way up.
- the emission spectrum of the device is broad with emission stretching from below 1.55eV to above 2.5eV. At 1.75eV, both PPV and
- Structure III has an emission spectrum very similar to that for structure II.
- the emission of this device for the same reasons as discussed above, has contributions from the decay of excitons located in the MEHPPV layer and at least one of either the PPV or the copolymer layers. It appears the additional copolymer layer has negligible effect on the
- This device also is an example where exciton decay occurs within the bulk of a polymer multilayer device as the MEHPPV is separated from both contacts by other layers.
- Structure IV has an emission spectrum with contributions from both the PPV layer and the copolymer layer.
- the emission spectrum shows phonon structure at 2.07, 2.26 and 2.39eV which is less pronounced than that for PPV, though clearer than in the copolymer.
- candidate mobile species are (i) charge carriers and (ii) neutral excitons. Depending on the behaviour of these charged and neutral species, we can expect to see behaviour ranging from the limit where a broad electron-hole capture zone is narrow, but in which exciton diffusion acts to produce a broad emission zone.
- structure II-IV it is constructive to consider an analysis of structure I first.
- the emission spectrum of structure I is characteristic of the single polymer layer of MEHPPV, the recombination zone is probably confined within the 50 nm thickness of the MEHPPV layer. From the above analysis, such a zone thickness would only be consistent with electron-hole capture by a Coulomb interaction if the electron mobility is less than 10 - 6 cm 2 /V sec. This may be the case, since
- spectral shifts indicate that emission occurs in layers not solely adjacent to the calcium contact.
- the width of the emissive layer is determined by the width of the electron-hole capture zone, there is no barrier against electron migration in all these structures since electrons pass from PPV into MEHPPV.
- the electron-hole capture zone then extends through several polymer layers and over more than 200 nm in structure III. Excitons are then formed in several different polymer layers and then
- recombination zone is within 50 nm of the electron-injecting contact, observing emission from only one layer.
- characteristic emissive zone in these EL devices is in part determined by the statistics for electron-hole capture, there are other possible explanations. One such is that the
- recombination could be occurring within a 50 nm zone adjacent to the calcium contact (as in structure I) and that there is subsequent exciton transfer from the recombination zone to different emission zones. This transfer could occur by several mechanisms. Firstly, there may be absorption and re-emission at a longer wavelength, but this is not
- a further example of the invention is discussed below.
- a different soluble conjugated polymer is used in place of the MEH-PPV.
- the polymer used is poly(3-dodecylthienylene), P3DT, for which the chemical structure is
- This polymer is soluble by virtue of the dodecyl side-chain, and is processed from solution, in for example, chloroform. It shows good photoluminescence and has been shown to function in an electroluminescent device.
- a device was fabricated in a similar manner to Example II, with a layer of P3DT (thickness 500 nm) on the ITO contact 1, and a layer of PPV precursor spin-coated on top to a thickness of l00nm and subsequently heated to convert to PPV (200°C, 12 hours) in place of the two precursor-route layers in
- Example II Calcium was evaporated onto this as a final stage
- This device shows a high threshold voltage for charge
- the light output was observed by eye to be deep red, characteristic of the luminescence of P3DT which is
- Emission is produced in a layer not immediately adjacent to the cathode. It can reasonably be expected that emission was also observed from the PPV layer, (c.f Example II). This is therefore another example of a multilayer emitting device, but should optimally be modified so that the polymer layer thicknesses avoid the problem of absorption by one layer of the light produced by another.
- multilayer electroluminescent devices with emission from more than one layer can be fabricated.
- Such multilayer structures could be. used to control device characteristics in a range of
- At least two polymer layers can be arranged to be simultaneously luminescing. This will allow generation of a broader spectrum than can be achieved with a single layer (see structures II, III and IV), and may allow fabrication of a white-light source.
- the region of the device in which the emission occurs can be arranged to be sufficiently wide so that several polymer layers can
- the electron-hole capture process requires thicknesses of polymer of at least 50 nanometers so that excitons are formed in the region of this thickness. Secondly, excitons once formed will diffuse before they decay and this process of diffusion can further broaden the width of the emission zone.
- the inventors have determined that for optimum performance the device should be manufactured so as to take into account the following points. As is evident from the examples, the emission is usually to be seen from the region of the polymer adjacent the cathode. This indicates that either electron injection is more difficult than hole injection and/or that electrons have lower mobility than holes. Emission from more than one layer is therefore more likely to be achieved in devices where appropriate layers are deposited close to the cathode. Another determinative feature is the band gap of the polymer layers.
- Example 1 Inappropriate ordering of the polymer layers can result in complete trapping of excitons within one layer only as seen in Example 1 in which there is a low band gap polymer (MEHPPV) adjacent the cathode.
- the band gaps are ordered to assist charge carrier transfer and capture.
