Abstract

Typical guest-host small molecular OLEDs (SMOLEDs) exhibit an emission spike at 100 - 200 ns and a tail that extends over several μs following a bias pulse. The spike and tail are attributed to recombination of correlated charge pairs and detrapped charges (mostly from the host shallow states), respectively. They may also be associated with other OLED layers and other phenomena, e.g., triplet-triplet annihilation. The implications of the spike and tail for OLED-based, photoluminescent oxygen sensors operated in the time domain are evaluated and compared to the behavior observed when using undoped OLEDs or inorganic LEDs as the excitation sources.
