摘要: Herein, we describe the molecular electronic structure, optical, and charge-transport properties of anthracene derivatives computationally using density functional theory to understand factors responsible for improved efficiency stability organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with triphenylamine (TPA)-substituted derivatives. The high performance OLEDs TPA-substituted is revealed derive from three original features in comparison aryl-substituted derivatives: 1) HOMO LUMO are localized separately on TPA moieties, respectively, which leads better due more stable cation under a hole majority-carrier environment; 2) balanceable electron transport together easier injection larger rate hole-electron recombination, corresponds higher electroluminescence efficiency; 3) increasing reorganization energy both level provide potential well trapping, then trapped holes induce built-in electric field prompt balance charge-carrier injection.
