Abstract

Electroluminescence in organic light-emitting diodes is simulated by the master equations for free carriers and excitons. The IV characteristics of both unipolar and bipolar devices can be well reproduced. The luminous efficacies of the phosphorescent OLEDs, which are doped with Ir(ppy)₃ in the emission layer, depend on both the triplet generation zone and the triplet transfer capability. Triplet diffusion into the hole-transport layer is primarily attributed to the decline in efficiencies of OLEDs with low emitter concentrations. Higher luminous efficacies can be obtained by graded doping profiles with the merits of broad triplet distribution within and confined to the emission layer. Moreover, triplet-polaron quenching plays a more significant role in the triplet loss than triplet-triplet annihilation does according to our simulations.
