Abstract
A thin film including a combination of a donor compound and an acceptor compound, and a phosphorescent dopant, wherein the donor compound and the acceptor compound form an exciplex having characteristics described in the specification.
Claims22
A thin film comprising:
- i) a combination of a donor compound and an acceptor compound, and
- ii) a phosphorescent dopant,
- wherein the donor compound and the acceptor compound form an exciplex,
- wherein a maximum emission wavelength λmax (Ex) in a photoluminescence spectrum of the exciplex is about 390 nanometers or greater and about 490 nanometers or less,
- wherein a decay time Tdecay(Ex) of delayed fluorescence in a time-resolved photoluminescence spectrum of the exciplex is about 100 nanoseconds or greater,
- wherein a ratio of a delayed fluorescence portion to the overall light-emitting portions in the time-resolved photoluminescence spectrum of the exciplex is about 10% or greater,
- wherein a photoluminescence stability of the exciplex is 60% or greater,
- wherein the photoluminescence spectrum and the time-resolved photoluminescence spectrum of the exciplex are each a spectrum measured at room temperature with respect to a film that is formed by co-deposition of the donor compound and the acceptor compound on a substrate, and
- wherein photoluminescence stability of the exciplex is evaluated according to Equation 10:
- PL stability (%)=(I2/I1)×100 Equation 10
- wherein, in Equation 10,
- I1 is an intensity of a light at the maximum emission wavelength λmax (Ex) in a photoluminescence spectrum of Film 1, which is obtained immediately after formation of a film by co-deposition of the donor compound and the acceptor compound on a substrate, measured at room temperature in an inert atmosphere in which external air is excluded, and
- I2 is an intensity of a light at the maximum emission wavelength λmax (Ex) in a photoluminescence spectrum of Film 2, which is obtained after exposure of the Film 1 to pumping laser light used in the evaluation of I1 in an inert atmosphere in which external air is excluded for 3 hours, measured at room temperature in an inert atmosphere in which external air is excluded.
