Improved properties of organic light-emitting devices by utilizing CsN3 n-type doped electron transport layer
To enhance the electron injecting and transporting ability and improve the performance of organic light-emitting device
the organic electron transport material Bphen was electrically doped by using CsN
3
as n-type dopant in this work. The devices of ITO/MoO

is an effective n-type dopant. The electron injection barriers was reduced and the electron injecting and transporting ability of the device was enhanced by using the Bphen:CsN
3
doped electron transport layer. As a result
the turn-on voltage was decreased
and the brightness and the luminous efficiency of the device were improved.The optimal doping concentration of the device was 10%.The device shows a turn-on voltage of 2.3 V and the maximum luminance reaches 29 060 cd/m

at 7.2 V
more than 2.5 times of that of the device without doping. The maximum current efficiency was 3.27 cd/A when the voltage was 6.6 V.When the doping concentration further increases
the efficiency of the device is decreased owning to Cs atom quenching the luminescence center induced by interdiffusion.
