Electroluminescent device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electroluminescent devices, in particular to an electroluminescent device.
Background
Electroluminescence (EL) is a physical phenomenon in which an electric field is generated by a voltage applied to two electrodes, electrons excited by the electric field collide with a luminescence center, and transition, change, and recombination of the electrons between energy levels are caused to cause luminescence.
According to the exciton recombination luminescence theory, when electrons (e) and holes (h) are respectively injected from the cathode and the anode of the device and reach the vicinity of the interface of a luminescent region, due to the action of coulomb force, the electrons and the holes are close to each other and bound together to form an electron (e) -hole pair (h), and the electron-hole pair can be converted into two types of excitons: firstly, singlet excitons S ═ ↓ - ↓, which can emit photons are formed, the reason of the process is that the sum of the spin vectors of electrons and holes is zero in charge transfer states CTs (charge transfer orientations: spin is 0) and the singlet excitons S × (↓ - ↓) is zero; the other is that CTT (spin is 1) forms triplet excitons (T +: ↓ ℃), (T0: ↓ + ↓ ℃) and (T-: ↓ ↓ ↓) ], which are three-dimensionally degenerate triplet excitons are split into 3 discrete energy states by an external magnetic field, but the singlet states are not influenced by the magnetic field, and the triplet excitons themselves cannot transition to emit fluorescence because the transition from the triplet state T to the singlet state S (T1 → S1+ hv) is "forbidden". Therefore, how to increase the light emission luminance of the EL device using the triplet excitons becomes a difficult problem.
