Effect of the polymer emission on the electroluminescence characteristics of n-ZnO nanorods/p-polymer hybrid light emitting diode

چکیده
Hybrid light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods and polymers (single and blended) are fabricated and characterized. The ZnO nanorods were grown by the chemical bath deposition method at 50 o C. Three different LEDs, either with blue emitting, orange-red emitting or their blended polymer together with ZnO nanorods were fabricated and studied. The current-voltage characteristics show good diode behavior with ideality factor in the range of 2.1 to 2.27 for all the three devices. The electroluminescence spectrum (EL) of the blended device has an emission range from 450nm to 750nm, due to the intermixing of the blue emission generated by the poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) denoted as PFO with orange red emission produced by the poly(2-methoxy-5(20-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) 1,4phenylenevinylene) symbolize as MEH PPV combined with the deep band emission (DBE) of the ZnO nanorods i.e. it covers the whole visible region and manifested as white light. The CIE colour coordinates showed bluish, orange-red and white emission from the PFO, MEH PPV and blended LEDs with ZnO nanorods, respectively. These results indicate that the choice of the polymer with proper concentration is critical to the emitted colour in ZnO nanorods/p-organic polymers LEDs and careful design should considered to obtain intrinsic white light sources.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) with its deep level defect emission covering the whole visible spectrum holds promise for the development of intrinsic white lighting sources with no need of using phosphors for light conversion. ZnO nanorods grown on flexible plastic as substrate using a low temperature approach (down to 50 o C) were combined with different organic semiconductors to form hybrid junction. White...

The effect of the interlayer design on the electroluminescence and electrical properties of n-ZnO nanorod/p-type blended polymer hybrid light emitting diodes.
Hybrid light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on n-ZnO nanorods and blended polymers were fabricated and characterized. The blended polymers consisted of a blue emitting polymer and a charge transport polymer. The effect of the interlayer design on the electrical and electroluminescent characteristics of these hybrid LEDs was investigated. We demonstrated that by adding a calcium (2) acetylacetonat...
