Abstract

Electroluminescent intensity and external quantum efficiency (EQE) in ultraviolet organic light‐emitting diodes (UV OLEDs) have been remarkably enhanced by using a graded hole‐injection and ‐transporting (HIT) structure of MoO3/N,N ′‐bis(naphthalen‐1‐yl)‐N,N ′‐bis(phenyl)‐benzidine/MoO3/4,4′‐bis(carbazol‐9‐yl)biphenyl (CBP). The graded‐HIT based UV OLED shows superior short‐wavelength emis‐ sion with spectral peak of ∼410 nm, maximum electroluminescent intensity of 2.2 mW/cm2 at 215 mA/cm2 and an EQE of 0.72% at 5.5 mA/cm2. Impedance spectroscopy is employed to clarify the enhanced hole‐injection and ‐transporting capacity of the graded‐HIT structure. Our results provide a simple and effective approach for constructing efficient UV OLEDs. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
