Solution-processed multilayer polymer light-emitting diode without intermixing

Abstract

The intermixing of two emissive layers in a four-layer solution-processed polymeric light-emitting diode with a hole injection, two emissive layers, and one hole-blocking layer is investigated. The relative emission of both emissive layers is measured and compared to a calculated recombination profile across the device using drift-diffusion simulations. A good agreement between the measured and calculated relative emission was found, supporting that there is no intermixing in the two emissive materials.
