Zn-complex를 이용한 OLED 효율향상에 관한 연구

A Study on the efficiency improvement of OLED using Zn-Complex

We have synthesized electroluminescence materials. including [2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole] (Zn(HPB)$_2$), [(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole)(8-hydoxyquinoline)] (Zn(HPB)q) and [(1, 10-phenanthroline)(8-hydroxyquinoline)] Zn(phen)q. The ionization potential (IP) and electron affinity (EA) of each Zn-complex was measured using cyclic-voltammetry (C-V). Basing on the consideration of matched in the energy levels of the materials. We investigated the electron transporting properties of Zn(HPB)q and Zn(phen)q compared with $Alq_3$, and also we investigated the hole blocking properties of Zn(HPB)$_2$, compared with BCP. As a result, we used Zn-complex to enhance the performance of OLED. Therefore, we demonstrate that Zn(HPB)q and Zn(phen)q are useful as an electron transporting material. Zn(HPB)$_2$ is also good a hole blocking material.
