Synthesis, Experimental and Theoretical Investigations on the Optical and Electronic Properties of New Organic Active Layer for a New Generation of Organic Light-Emitting Diode
In this chapter, we present new attempts for the development of a new generation of high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). First of all, we present two strategies for obtaining a luminescent active layer. The first one is the chemical synthesis of a block copolymer based on the cross-linked Poly (N-vinyl carbazole) (PVK) and the conjugated poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMeT) system. Secondly, newly small luminescent organic molecules are chemically synthesized and studied. Photo-physical and electronic properties of the synthesized organic materials are fully investigated through experimental analysis and theoretical computations using essentially DFT and TDDFT methodologies. Optical measurements revealed the formation of a new highly luminescent organic material. Furthermore, the newly synthesized small molecules showed a high emission in the blue part. Based on the synthesized active layers, newly multi-structure OLED architectures are theoretically designed by the insertion of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) as a single layer. The theoretical computations show that the insertion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) single layer improves the injection of electron charge carriers from the chosen cathode (Ca, Mg) to the synthesized active layers, which enhances the performance of the electronic focused devices based on the organic synthesized active layer.
