Abstract

High performance green $Ir(ppy)_3$-based phosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLEDs) have been fabricated by organic vapor phase deposition ($OVPD^{TM}$). In addition to demonstrating both efficiency and operational device lifetime comparable to devices built by vacuum thermal evaporation, we report on the controllability and stability of the $OVPD^{TM}$ process. Specifically, run-to-run and day-to-day deposition rate reproducibility of better than 2 % for three consecutive days is demonstrated.
