Abstract

A new rare-earth complex TbY(p-MBA)₆(phen)₂ was synthesized and studied. Pure green emission was observed from the devices that were fabricated with the structure as follows: Device 1: ITO/PVK: TbY(p-MBA)₆(phen)₂/LiF/Al; Device 2: ITO/PVK: TbY(p-MBA)₆(phen)₂/AlQ/LiF/Al. PVK was used to improve the film-forming and hole-transporting properties of the TbY(p-MBA)₆(phen)₂. The characteristics of these devices were investigated and compared with Tb(p-MBA)₃phen, which had been reported. The results show that TbY(p-MBA)₆(phen)₂ has much better performance than Tb(p-MBA)₃phen. This improvement is attributed to the introduction of yttrium. The highest EL brightness of Device 1 is 37.5 cd/cm² at a fixed bias of 19 V, and the highest EL brightness of Device 2 reaches 333.7 cd/cm² at 23 V.
