  • Patent number: 7151007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of doped organic semiconductor materials having an increased charge carrier density and effective charge carrier mobility, by doping with a dopant, a process in which after mixing the dopant into the organic semiconductor material, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen or hydroxyl radicals are split off and at least one electron is transferred to the semiconductor material or from the semiconductor material. The process is distinguished by the fact that an uncharged organic compound is used as dopant. Doped organic semiconductor materials are obtainable by one of the processes. The semiconductor materials are distinguished by the fact that the doped layer contains cations of at least one organic compound, the uncharged form of the organic compound being unstable in air.

  • Publication number: 20060240279
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) architecture in which efficient operation is achieved without requiring a blocking layer by locating the recombination zone close to the hole transport side of the emissive layer. Aryl-based hosts and Ir-based dopants with suitable concentrations result in an efficient phosphorescent OLED structure. Previously, blocking layer utilization in phosphorescent OLED architectures was considered essential to avoid exciton and hole leakage from the emissive layer, and thus keep the recombination zone inside the emissive layer to provide high device efficiency and a pure emission spectrum.
