Since a phosphorescent sensitizer is typically doped at around 10 wt.%, the sensitizer not only affects cascade energy transfer but also electrical transporting in the PSF-OLEDs. However, the electrical role of phosphorescent metal complex molecules in the EML is unclear. In this study, we report the impact of the phosphorescent sensitizer on the electrical properties of PSF-OLEDs. Through a comprehensive analysis using impedance spectroscopy in conjunction with current density (J)-voltage (V)-luminance (L) properties of the PSF-OLED, it was revealed that 10 wt.% phosphorescent sensitizer forms an electron transporting pathway inside the EML. Thus, the sensitizer molecules transform a unipolar single host into a bipolar mixed host. In other words, the phosphorescent sensitizer is an n-type host in the PSF-OLEDs. As a result, the charge balance and the operating voltage were simultaneously and significantly improved in the PSF-OLEDs.","PeriodicalId":16257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Display","volume":"23 1","pages":"97 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44603140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organic and flexible electronics have been proposed long ago as a more sustainable and energy-efficient technological platform with respect to established ones. Yet, such technology is leading to a drastic increase of plastic waste if common approaches for flexible substrates are followed. In this scenario, biodegradable solutions can significantly limit the environmental impact, actively contributing to eliminate the waste streams (plastic or electronic) associated with disposal of devices. However, achieving suitably scalable processes to pattern mechanically robust organic electronics onto largely available biodegradable substrates is still an open challenge. In this work, all-organic and highly flexible field-effect transistors, inkjet printed onto the biodegradable and compostable commercial substrate Mater-Bi, are demonstrated. Because of the thermal instability of Mater-Bi, no annealing steps are applied, producing devices with limited carrier mobility, yet showing correct n-type behavior and robustness to bending and crumpling. The degradation behavior of the final system shows unaltered biodegradability level according to ISO 14851. These results represent a promising step toward sustainable flexible and large-area electronics, combining energy and materials efficient processes with largely available biodegradable substrates.","PeriodicalId":16257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Display","volume":"22 1","pages":"247 - 256"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44038184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These assembled all-2D vdW heterostructures are promising platforms for fabricating next-generation electronics as well as optoelectronics. In particular, the all-2D vdW heterostructure devices composed entirely of 2D layered material have received extensive attention due to their natural thickness, atomically sharp heterointerfaces, and excellent mechanical flexibility. Herein, we firstly introduce 2D vdW heterostructures and their preparation methods. Secondly, the recent progress of field-effect transistors (FETs) and photodetectors based on all-2D vdW heterostructures are summarized.
