Numerical analysis and optimization of a hybrid layer structure for triplet-triplet fusion mechanism in organic light-emitting diodes

Abstract

In this study, we develop a steady state and time-dependent exciton diffusion model including singlet and triplet excitons coupled with a modified Poisson and drift-diffusion solver to explain the mechanism of hyper triplet-triplet fusion (TTF) organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Using this modified simulator, we demonstrate various characteristics of OLEDs, including the J-V curve, internal quantum efficiency, transient spectrum, and electric profile. This solver can also be used to explain the mechanism of hyper-TTF-OLEDs and analyze the loss from different exciton mechanisms. Furthermore, we perform additional optimization of hyper-TTF-OLEDs that increases the internal quantum efficiency by approximately 33% (from 29% to 40%).
