Problems solved by technology

However, as one of the three primary colors essential for organic electroluminescent displays, red organic electroluminescent devices still face severe challenges, mainly including low luminous efficiency and poor spectral color purity.
For example, in 2000, S.R.Forrest of Princeton University in the United States used 4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole diphenyl (CBP) as the main material, and TTA and o-phenanthroline (phen) as the first The classic trivalent europium complex Eu(TTA) with the second ligand 3 When phen is doped in CBP as a guest material, a red electroluminescent device showing characteristic emission of pure trivalent europium ions is obtained, but the maximum external quantum efficiency of the device is only 1.4% (0.4mA / cm 2 ), far below the theoretical limit of 6% for the external quantum efficiency of the device
In 2003, Ma Dongge et al reported on Applied Physics Letters the rare earth europium complex Eu(TTA) with 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-phenanthroline (Tmphen) as the second ligand 3 Tmphen, as a guest material, was mixed into the host material CBP to make a red organic electroluminescent device, although the maximum brightness reached 800cd / m 2 , but its maximum current efficiency is only 4.7cd / A
In 2005, Zhang Hongjie and others published in Inorganic Chemistry that 4,4,5,5,6,6,6-heptafluoro-1-(2-naphthyl)-n-ethane-β-diketone (HFNH) was the first Ligands of rare earth europium complexes Eu(HFNH) 3 phen, doped into CBP as a guest material to prepare a pure red electroluminescent device, the maximum brightness is as high as 957cd / m 2 , but its maximum current efficiency is only 4.14cd / A
On the other hand, most trivalent europium complexes only absorb light in the ultraviolet region, so it is easy to cause incomplete energy transfer from the host material to the trivalent europium complex, which is obviously not conducive to the improvement of device luminous efficiency
