Color‐Stable, All‐Phosphorescent White Organic Light Emitting Diodes Using the Polariton‐Enhanced Purcell Effect

Abstract The short operational lifetimes of high efficiency phosphorescent organic blue light emitting devices (PHOLEDs) has limited their use in displays and lighting. Previously, this problem has been avoided by using less efficient fluorescent blue devices in separately biased red, green, and blue emissive elements to achieve stable full color emission. However, the operational lifetime of blue phosphorescent OLEDs has been significantly improved through the utilization of the plasmon‐exciton‐polariton‐enhanced (PEP) Purcell effect. Here, a white emitting PHOLED comprising stacked red, green, and blue elements is demonstrated that exploits PEPs to extend the operational lifetime of the blue element such that all emissive layers degrade at the same rate. The device features white light emission with an external quantum efficiency of 19.1 ± 0.4%, luminous power efficiency of 13.3 ± 0.3 lm W −1 at a luminance of 1000 cd m −2 when measured over 4π solid angle, with a color rendering index of 76 unchanged throughout the device aging to 70% of its initial luminance, T 70 . A 2.9 times enhancement in the operational lifetime of the Purcell‐enhanced device is achieved to yield T 70 = 2900 ± 100 h for an initial luminance of 1000 cd m −2 , compared to devices lacking this enhancement with T 70 = 1000 ± 100 h.

Radiation hardness of the low gain avalanche diodes developed by NDL and IHEP in China

This paper presents a study on the radiation hardness of low gain avalanche detector (LGAD) developed by the Novel Device Laboratory (NDL) in Beijing and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of Chinese Academy of Sciences, in the context of an upgrade project of the ATLAS detector for the high luminosity phase of LHC. NDL LGAD sensors with different layouts, epitaxial resistivity and doping profile were irradiated up to 1.02 × 10 15 n eq /cm 2 by 70 MeV protons at Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center (CYRIC). The timing resolution of NDL LGAD sensors reached 50 ps and the collected charge reached 3 - 4 fC after irradiation.

Side Chain Engineering of Near-IR Aza-BODIPY Dyes Enables Processable Films with High Hole Mobility in Diodes

Boron chelated azadipyrromethene (Aza-BODIPY) derivatives are promising candidates for near-infrared optoelectronic applications due to their tunable absorption, electron-deficient core, and strong π-conjugation. Here, in this work, we synthesized and studied a series of 1-naphthylethynyl-substituted aza-BODIPY molecules featuring hexyl or hexyloxy solubilizing groups at either the proximal or the distal phenyl positions. These substitutions were designed to improve the solubility, film formation, and optoelectronic properties. We found that solubilizing groups not only enabled uniform solution-processed films but also fine-tuned key properties, such as absorption onset, oxidation potential, and energy levels. Charge transport analysis showed consistently high hole mobilities (∼10 –3 cm 2 /V s) across all substituted derivatives when CuI was used as the hole transport layer, regardless of film morphology. In contrast, electron mobilities tended to be low and inconsistent, partly because of the relatively poor-quality films on the ZnO electron transport layer. Overall, we have shown that solubilizing groups enable film solution-casting and can fine-tune the properties of these near-infrared aza-BODIPY derivatives.
